9faf65fb6e SELinux: use SECINITSID_NETMSG instead of SECINITSID_UNLABELED for NetLabel
These changes will make NetLabel behave like labeled IPsec where there is an
access check for both labeled and unlabeled packets as well as providing the
ability to restrict domains to receiving only labeled packets when NetLabel
is in use.  The changes to the policy are straight forward with the
following necessary to receive labeled traffic (with SECINITSID_NETMSG
defined as "netlabel_peer_t"):

 allow mydom_t netlabel_peer_t:{ tcp_socket udp_socket rawip_socket } recvfrom;

The policy for unlabeled traffic would be:

 allow mydom_t unlabeled_t:{ tcp_socket udp_socket rawip_socket } recvfrom;

These policy changes, as well as more general NetLabel support, are included
in the SELinux Reference Policy SVN tree, r2352 or later.  Users who enable
NetLabel support in the kernel are strongly encouraged to upgrade their
policy to avoid network problems.

ed03218951 security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmap
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space.  The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.

This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect."  Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)

2c3c05dbcb SELinux: allow preemption between transition permission checks
In security_get_user_sids, move the transition permission checks
outside of the section holding the policy rdlock, and use the AVC to
perform the checks, calling cond_resched after each one.  These
changes should allow preemption between the individual checks and
enable caching of the results.  It may however increase the overall
time spent in the function in some cases, particularly in the cache
miss case.

The long term fix will be to take much of this logic to userspace by
exporting additional state via selinuxfs, and ultimately deprecating
and eliminating this interface from the kernel.

9dc9978084 selinux: introduce schedule points in policydb_destroy()
During the LSPP testing we found that it was possible for
policydb_destroy() to take 10+ seconds of kernel time to complete.
Basically all policydb_destroy() does is walk some (possibly long) lists
and free the memory it finds.  Turning off slab debugging config options
made the problem go away since the actual functions which took most of
the time were (as seen by oprofile)

> 121202   23.9879  .check_poison_obj
> 78247    15.4864  .check_slabp

were caused by that.  So I decided to also add some voluntary schedule
points in that code so config voluntary preempt would be enough to solve
the problem.  Something similar was done in places like
shmem_free_pages() when we have to walk a list of memory and free it.
This was tested by the LSPP group on the hardware which could reproduce
the problem just loading a new policy and was found to not trigger the
softlock detector.  It takes just as much processing time, but the
kernel doesn't spend all that time stuck doing one thing and never
scheduling.

Someday a better way to handle memory might make the time needed in this
function a lot less, but this fixes the current issue as it stands
today.

The structure is as follows (relative to selinuxfs root):

/class/file/index
/class/file/perms/read
/class/file/perms/write
...

Each class is allocated 33 inodes, 1 for the class index and 32 for
permissions.  Relative to SEL_CLASS_INO_OFFSET, the inode of the index file
DIV 33 is the class number.  The inode of the permission file % 33 is the
index of the permission for that class.

e8f3f6cad7 [TG3]: Fix the polarity bit.
For most pre-5705 devices, multiple link interrupts were being generated
for a single physical link change.  The source of the interrupts was
determined to be unnecessary toggling of the MAC link polarity bit.

This patch changes the way the link polarity bit gets configured.  Where
possible, code that dynamically configures the bit in response to link
changes has been replaced by code that configures the bit once during
initialization time and then leaves the bit alone.

For correctness, this patch also limits the use of the bit to those
devices where it is defined, namely devices before the 5705.  This patch
also corrects the link polarity configurations for 5700 devices when
paired against a bcm5411 phy.

469665459d [TG3]: Fix irq_sync race condition.
Gagan Arneja <gaagaan@gmail.com> pointed out that tg3_reset_task()
could potentially race with another thread calling tg3_full_lock()
such as the ethtool_set_xxx() functions.  This may trigger the
BUG_ON() in tg3_irq_quiesce() or cause the irq_sync flag to be out-
of-sync.

I think the easiest way to fix this is to get the tp->lock first
before setting the irq_sync flag.  This is safe to do because the
tp->lock is never grabbed by the irq handler.  This change will
guarantee that the irq_sync flag updates will be serialized.  We also
have to change one spot to call tg3_netif_start() (which clears the
irq_sync flag) before releasing the tp->lock.

8c979c26a0 [VLAN]: Fix MAC address handling
The VLAN MAC address handling is broken in multiple ways. When the address
differs when setting it, the real device is put in promiscous mode twice,
but never taken out again. Additionally it doesn't resync when the real
device's address is changed and needlessly puts it in promiscous mode when
the vlan device is still down.

Fix by moving address handling to vlan_dev_open/vlan_dev_stop and properly
deal with address changes in the device notifier. Also switch to
dev_unicast_add (which needs the exact same handling).

Since the set_mac_address handler is identical to the generic ethernet one
with these changes, kill it and use ether_setup().

91a6902958 sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes
Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

* Dentries for all shadowed directories are pinned in memory to serve
  as lookup start point.

53e0ae9269 sysfs: implement sysfs_get_dentry()
Some sysfs operations require dentry and inode.  sysfs_get_dentry()
looks up and gets dentry for the specified sysfs_dirent.  It finds the
first ancestor with dentry attached and starts looking up dentries
from there.

Looking up from the nearest ancestor is necessary to support shadowed
directories because we can't reliably lookup dentry for one of the
shadows.  Dentries for each shadow will be pinned in memory such that
they can serve as the starting point for dentry lookup.

fb6896da37 sysfs: restructure add/remove paths and fix inode update
The original add/remove code had the following problems.

* parent's timestamps are updated on dentry instantiation.  this is
  incorrect with reclaimable files.

* updating parent's timestamps isn't synchronized.

* parent nlink update assumes the inode is accessible which won't be
  true once directory dentries are made reclaimable.

This patch restructures add/remove paths to resolve the above
problems.  Add/removal are done in the following steps.

1. sysfs_addrm_start() : acquire locks including sysfs_mutex and other
   resources.

2-a. sysfs_add_one() : add new sd.  linking the new sd into the
     children list is caller's responsibility.

2-b. sysfs_remove_one() : remove a sd.  unlinking the sd from the
     children list is caller's responsibility.

3. sysfs_addrm_finish() : release all resources and clean up.

Steps 2-a and/or 2-b can be repeated multiple times.

Parent's inode is looked up during sysfs_addrm_start().  If available
(always at the moment), it's pinned and nlink is updated as sd's are
added and removed.  Timestamps are updated during finish if any sd has
been added or removed.  If parent's inode is not available during
start, sysfs_mutex ensures that parent inode is not created till
add/remove is complete.

All the complexity is contained inside the helper functions.
Especially, dentry/inode handling is properly hidden from the rest of
sysfs which now mostly operate on sysfs_dirents.  As an added bonus,
codes which use these helpers to add and remove sysfs_dirents are now
more structured and simpler.

8619f97989 sysfs: slim down sysfs_dirent->s_active
Make sysfs_dirent->s_active an atomic_t instead of rwsem.  This
reduces the size of sysfs_dirent from 136 to 104 on 64bit and from 76
to 60 on 32bit with lock debugging turned off.  With lock debugging
turned on the reduction is much larger.

s_active starts at zero and each active reference increments s_active.
Putting a reference decrements s_active.  Deactivation subtracts
SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS which is currently INT_MIN and assumed to be small
enough to make s_active negative.  If s_active is negative,
sysfs_get() no longer grants new references.  Deactivation succeeds
immediately if there is no active user; otherwise, it waits using a
completion for the last put.

Due to the removal of lockdep tricks, this change makes things less
trickier in release_sysfs_dirent().  As all the complexity is
contained in three s_active functions, I think it's more readable this
way.

b6b4a4399c sysfs: move s_active functions to fs/sysfs/dir.c
These functions are about to receive more complexity and doesn't
really need to be inlined in the first place.  Move them from
fs/sysfs/sysfs.h to fs/sysfs/dir.c.

8312a8d7c1 sysfs: use iget_locked() instead of new_inode()
After dentry is reclaimed, sysfs always used to allocate new dentry
and inode if the file is accessed again.  This causes problem with
operations which only pin the inode.  For example, if inotify watch is
added to a sysfs file and the dentry for the file is reclaimed, the
next update event creates new dentry and new inode making the inotify
watch miss all the events from there on.

This patch fixes it by using iget_locked() instead of new_inode().
sysfs_new_inode() is renamed to sysfs_get_inode() and inode is
initialized iff the inode is newly allocated.  sysfs_instantiate() is
responsible for unlocking new inodes.

fc9f54b998 sysfs: reorganize sysfs_new_indoe() and sysfs_create()
Reorganize/clean up sysfs_new_inode() and sysfs_create().

* sysfs_init_inode() is separated out from sysfs_new_inode() and is
  responsible for basic initialization.
* sysfs_instantiate() replaces the last step of sysfs_create() and is
  responsible for dentry instantitaion.
* type-specific initialization is moved out to the callers.
* mode is specified only once when creating a sysfs_dirent.
* spurious list_del_init(&sd->s_sibling) dropped from create_dir()

This change is to

* prepare for inode allocation fix.
* separate alloc and init code for synchronization update.
* make dentry/inode initialization more flexible for later changes.

This patch doesn't introduce visible behavior change.

ad6a1e1c66 driver-core: make devt_attr and uevent_attr static
devt_attr and uevent_attr are either allocated dynamically with or
embedded in device and class_device as they needed their owner field
set to the module implementing the driver.  Now that sysfs implements
immediate disconnect and owner field removed from struct attribute,
there is no reason to do this.  Remove these attributes from
[class_]device and use static attribute structures instead.

7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

(tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to
merge things properly.)

dbde0fcf9f sysfs: reimplement sysfs_drop_dentry()
This patch reimplements sysfs_drop_dentry() such that remove_dir() can
use it to drop dentry instead of using a separate mechanism.  With
this change, making directories reclaimable is much easier.

This patch used to contain fixes for two race conditions around
sd->s_dentry but that part has been separated out and included into
mainline early as commit 6aa054aadf and
dd14cbc994.
