keys: add keyctl function to get a security label
Add a keyctl() function to get the security label of a key.
The following is added to Documentation/keys.txt:
(*) Get the LSM security context attached to a key.
long keyctl(KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY, key_serial_t key, char *buffer,
size_t buflen)
This function returns a string that represents the LSM security context
attached to a key in the buffer provided.
Unless there's an error, it always returns the amount of data it could
produce, even if that's too big for the buffer, but it won't copy more
than requested to userspace. If the buffer pointer is NULL then no copy
will take place.
A NUL character is included at the end of the string if the buffer is
sufficiently big. This is included in the returned count. If no LSM is
in force then an empty string will be returned.
A process must have view permission on the key for this function to be
successful.

keys: check starting keyring as part of search
Check the starting keyring as part of the search to (a) see if that is what
we're searching for, and (b) to check it is still valid for searching.
The scenario: User in process A does things that cause things to be created in
its process session keyring. The user then does an su to another user and
starts a new process, B. The two processes now share the same process session
keyring.
Process B does an NFS access which results in an upcall to gssd. When gssd
attempts to instantiate the context key (to be linked into the process session
keyring), it is denied access even though it has an authorization key.
The order of calls is:
keyctl_instantiate_key()
lookup_user_key() (the default: case)
search_process_keyrings(current)
search_process_keyrings(rka->context) (recursive call)
keyring_search_aux()
keyring_search_aux() verifies the keys and keyrings underneath the top-level
keyring it is given, but that top-level keyring is neither fully validated nor
checked to see if it is the thing being searched for.
This patch changes keyring_search_aux() to:
1) do more validation on the top keyring it is given and
2) check whether that top-level keyring is the thing being searched for

With unshare, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means unshare the sysvsem. So it seems

IPC/shared memory: introduce shmctl_down
Currently, the way the different commands are handled in sys_shmctl introduces
some duplicated code.
This patch introduces the shmctl_down function to handle all the commands
requiring the rwmutex to be taken in write mode (ie IPC_SET and IPC_RMID for
now). It is the equivalent function of semctl_down for shared memory.
This removes some duplicated code for handling these both commands and
harmonizes the way they are handled among all IPCs.

ipc: scale msgmni to the amount of lowmem
On large systems we'd like to allow a larger number of message queues. In
some cases up to 32K. However simply setting MSGMNI to a larger value may
cause problems for smaller systems.
The first patch of this series introduces a default maximum number of message
queue ids that scales with the amount of lowmem.
Since msgmni is per namespace and there is no amount of memory dedicated to
each namespace so far, the second patch of this series scales msgmni to the
number of ipc namespaces too.
Since msgmni depends on the amount of memory, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon memory add/remove. In the 4th patch, memory hotplug
management is added: a notifier block is registered into the memory hotplug
notifier chain for the ipc subsystem. Since the ipc namespaces are not linked
together, they have their own notification chain: one notifier_block is
defined per ipc namespace. Each time an ipc namespace is created (removed) it
registers (unregisters) its notifier block in (from) the ipcns chain. The
callback routine registered in the memory chain invokes the ipcns notifier
chain with the IPCNS_MEMCHANGE event. Each callback routine registered in the
ipcns namespace, in turn, recomputes msgmni for the owning namespace.
The 5th patch makes it possible to keep the memory hotplug notifier chain's
lock for a lesser amount of time: instead of directly notifying the ipcns
notifier chain upon memory add/remove, a work item is added to the global
workqueue. When activated, this work item is the one who notifies the ipcns
notifier chain.
Since msgmni depends on the number of ipc namespaces, it becomes necessary to
recompute it upon ipc namespace creation / removal. The 6th patch uses the
ipc namespace notifier chain for that purpose: that chain is notified each
time an ipc namespace is created or removed. This makes it possible to
recompute msgmni for all the namespaces each time one of them is created or
removed.
When msgmni is explicitely set from userspace, we should avoid recomputing it
upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal. This is what the 7th patch
does: it simply unregisters the ipcns callback routine as soon as msgmni has
been changed from procfs or sysctl().
Even if msgmni is set by hand, it should be possible to make it back
automatically recomputed upon memory add/remove or ipcns creation/removal.
This what is achieved in patch 8: if set to a negative value, msgmni is added
back to the ipcns notifier chain, making it automatically recomputed again.
This patch:
Compute msg_ctlmni to make it scale with the amount of lowmem. msg_ctlmni is
now set to make the message queues occupy 1/32 of the available lowmem.
Some cleaning has also been done for the MSGPOOL constant: the msgctl man page
says it's not used, but it also defines it as a size in bytes (the code
expresses it in Kbytes).

memcgroup: move memory controller allocations to their own slabs
Move the memory controller data structure page_cgroup to its own slab cache.
It saves space on the system, allocations are not necessarily pushed to order
of 2 and should provide performance benefits. Users who disable the memory
controller can also double check that the memory controller is not allocating
page_cgroup's.
NOTE: Hugh Dickins brought up the issue of whether we want to mark page_cgroup
as __GFP_MOVABLE or __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. I don't think there is an easy answer
at the moment. page_cgroup's are associated with user pages, they can be
reclaimed once the user page has been reclaimed, so it might make sense to
mark them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. For now, I am leaving the marking to default
values that the slab allocator uses.

memcgroups: add a document describing the resource counter abstraction
The resource counter is supposed to facilitate the resource accounting of
arbitrary resource (and it already does this for memory controller).
However, it is about to be used in other resources controllers (swap, kernel
memory, networking, etc), so provide a doc describing how to work with it.
This will eliminate all the possible future duplications in the appropriate
controllers' docs.

cgroups: add an owner to the mm_struct
Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

cgroups: implement device whitelist
Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny. For instance
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null. Doing
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

x86: olpc: add One Laptop Per Child architecture support
This adds support for OLPC XO hardware. Open Firmware on XOs don't contain
the VSA, so it is necessary to emulate the PCI BARs in the kernel. This also
adds functionality for running EC commands, and a CONFIG_OLPC.
A number of OLPC drivers depend upon CONFIG_OLPC.
olpc_ec_timeout is a hack to work around Embedded Controller bugs.

eCryptfs: make key module subsystem respect namespaces
Make eCryptfs key module subsystem respect namespaces.
Since I will be removing the netlink interface in a future patch, I just made
changes to the netlink.c code so that it will not break the build. With my
recent patches, the kernel module currently defaults to the device handle
interface rather than the netlink interface.

eCryptfs: integrate eCryptfs device handle into the module.
Update the versioning information. Make the message types generic. Add an
outgoing message queue to the daemon struct. Make the functions to parse
and write the packet lengths available to the rest of the module. Add
functions to create and destroy the daemon structs. Clean up some of the
comments and make the code a little more consistent with itself.

eCryptfs: introduce device handle for userspace daemon communications
A regular device file was my real preference from the get-go, but I went with
netlink at the time because I thought it would be less complex for managing
send queues (i.e., just do a unicast and move on). It turns out that we do
not really get that much complexity reduction with netlink, and netlink is
more heavyweight than a device handle.
In addition, the netlink interface to eCryptfs has been broken since 2.6.24.
I am assuming this is a bug in how eCryptfs uses netlink, since the other
in-kernel users of netlink do not seem to be having any problems. I have had
one report of a user successfully using eCryptfs with netlink on 2.6.24, but
for my own systems, when starting the userspace daemon, the initial helo
message sent to the eCryptfs kernel module results in an oops right off the
bat. I spent some time looking at it, but I have not yet found the cause.
The netlink interface breaking gave me the motivation to just finish my patch
to migrate to a regular device handle. If I cannot find out soon why the
netlink interface in eCryptfs broke, I am likely to just send a patch to
disable it in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25. I would like the device handle to be the
preferred means of communicating with the userspace daemon from 2.6.26 on
forward.
This patch:
Functions to facilitate reading and writing to the eCryptfs miscellaneous
device handle. This will replace the netlink interface as the preferred
mechanism for communicating with the userspace eCryptfs daemon.
Each user has his own daemon, which registers itself by opening the eCryptfs
device handle. Only one daemon per euid may be registered at any given time.
The eCryptfs module sends a message to a daemon by adding its message to the
daemon's outgoing message queue. The daemon reads the device handle to get
the oldest message off the queue.
Incoming messages from the userspace daemon are immediately handled. If the
message is a response, then the corresponding process that is blocked waiting
for the response is awakened.

vt: fix background color on line feed
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as
perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.
When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`).
The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.
