2010-08-02ima: use generic_file_llseek for securityfsArnd Bergmann
The default for llseek will change to no_llseek, so securityfs users need to add explicit .llseek assignments. Since we're dealing with regular files from a VFS perspective, use generic_file_llseek.

2010-05-21kref: remove kref_setNeilBrown
Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel: One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a reference, Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being initialised. This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code. So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-02-07ima: initialize ima before inodes can be allocatedEric Paris
ima wants to create an inode information struct (iint) when inodes are allocated. This means that at least the part of ima which does this allocation (the allocation is filled with information later) should before any inodes are created. To accomplish this we split the ima initialization routine placing the kmem cache allocator inside a security_initcall() function. Since this makes use of radix trees we also need to make sure that is initialized before security_initcall().

The counters are now updated independently, from measuring the file, in __dentry_open() and alloc_file() by calling ima_counts_get(). ima_path_check() is called from nfsd and do_filp_open(). It also did not measure all files that should have been measured. Reason: ima_path_check() got bogus value passed as mask.

2009-05-22IMA: Minimal IMA policy and boot param for TCB IMA policyEric Paris
The IMA TCB policy is dangerous. A normal use can use all of a system's memory (which cannot be freed) simply by building and running lots of executables. The TCB policy is also nearly useless because logging in as root often causes a policy violation when dealing with utmp, thus rendering the measurements meaningless. There is no good fix for this in the kernel. A full TCB policy would need to be loaded in userspace using LSM rule matching to get both a protected and useful system. But, if too little is measured before userspace can load a real policy one again ends up with a meaningless set of measurements. One option would be to put the policy load inside the initrd in order to get it early enough in the boot sequence to be useful, but this runs into trouble with the LSM. For IMA to measure the LSM policy and the LSM policy loading mechanism it needs rules to do so, but we already talked about problems with defaulting to such broad rules.... IMA also depends on the files being measured to be on an FS which implements and supports i_version. Since the only FS with this support (ext4) doesn't even use it by default it seems silly to have any IMA rules by default. This should reduce the performance overhead of IMA to near 0 while still letting users who choose to configure their machine as such to inclue the ima_tcb kernel paramenter and get measurements during boot before they can load a customized, reasonable policy in userspace.

2009-05-15IMA: remove read permissions on the ima policy fileEric Paris

2009-05-12IMA: open all files O_LARGEFILEEric Paris
If IMA tried to measure a file which was larger than 4G dentry_open would fail with -EOVERFLOW since IMA wasn't passing O_LARGEFILE. This patch passes O_LARGEFILE to all IMA opens to avoid this problem.

2009-05-12IMA: Handle dentry_open failuresEric Paris
Currently IMA does not handle failures from dentry_open(). This means that we leave a pointer set to ERR_PTR(errno) and then try to use it just a few lines later in fput(). Oops.
