2012-10-12vfs: make path_openat take a struct filename pointerJeff Layton
...and fix up the callers. For do_file_open_root, just declare a struct filename on the stack and fill out the .name field. For do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its callers to call it appropriately. For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn filp_open into a wrapper around it.

2012-10-12vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-09-18userns: Convert bsd process accounting to use kuid and kgid where appropriateEric W. Biederman
BSD process accounting conveniently passes the file the accounting records will be written into to do_acct_process. The file credentials captured the user namespace of the opener of the file. Use the file credentials to format the uid and the gid of the current process into the user namespace of the user that started the bsd process accounting.

2009-08-24bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting fileMichal Schmidt
When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log. SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs. So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because someone enabled process accounting. For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting, because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting information logged.

2008-07-25bsdacct: rename acct_gbls to bsd_acct_structPavel Emelyanov
After I fixed access to task->tgid in kernel/acct.c, Oleg pointed out some bad side effects with this accounting vs pid namespaces interaction. I.e. when some task in pid namespace sets this accounting up, this blocks all the others from doing the same. Restricting this to init namespace only could help, but didn't look a graceful solution. So here is the approach to make this accounting work with pid namespaces properly. The idea is simple - when a task dies it accounts itself in each namespace it is visible from and which set the accounting up. For example here are the commands run and the output of lastcomm from init and sub namespaces: init_ns# accton pacct sub_ns# accton pacct (this is a different file - sub ns is run in a chroot-ed environment) init_ns# cat /dev/null sub_ns# ls /dev/null init_ns# accton sub_ns# accton sub_ns# lastcomm -f pacct ls 0 [136,0] 0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30 accton 0 [136,0] 0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30 init_ns# lastcomm -f pacct accton root pts/0 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub cat root pts/1 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 ls root pts/0 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub accton root pts/1 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 That was the summary, the details are in patches. This patch: It will be visible in pid_namespace.h file, so fix its name to look better outside the acct.c file.

Besides, the tgid field is deprecated and is to be replaced with task_tgid_xxx call (the 2nd patch), so RCU will be required anyway.

2007-07-25Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().john stultz
This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra
Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulationKaiGai Kohei
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late. For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure before writing out an accounting record. This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt are done before generating accounting record.

process When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any other task_structs are ignored. Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this process has called execve() after fork(). We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode is not the group leader's one.
2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: add pacct_struct to fix some pacct bugs.KaiGai Kohei
The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is generated. There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up. If OOM killer is activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory regions. But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory. In the results, any processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.
2006-06-25[PATCH] Remove unecessary NULL check in kernel/acct.cMatt Helsley
copy_process() appears to be the only caller of acct_clear_integrals() and does not pass in NULL task pointers. Remove the unecessary check. Signed-off-by: Matt Helsley <matthltc@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

2006-03-31[PATCH] Fix pacct bug in multithreading case.KaiGai Kohei
I noticed a bug on the process accounting facility. In multi-threading process, some data would be recorded incorrectly when the group_leader dies earlier than one or more threads. The attached patch fixes this problem. See below. 'bugacct' is a test program that create a worker thread after 4 seconds sleeping, then the group_leader dies soon. The worker thread consume CPU/Memory for 6 seconds, then exit. We can estimate 10 seconds as etime and 6 seconds as stime + utime. This is a sample program which the group_leader dies earlier than other threads. The results of same binary execution on different kernel are below. -- accounted records -------------------- | btime | utime | stime | etime | minflt | majflt | comm | original | 13:16:40 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 6.10 | 171 | 0 | bugacct | patched | 13:20:21 | 5.83 | 0.18 | 10.03 | 32776 | 0 | bugacct | (*) bugacct allocates 128MB memory, thus 128MB / 4KB = 32768 of minflt is appropriate. -- Test results in original kernel ------ $ date; time -p ./bugacct Tue Mar 28 13:16:36 JST 2006 <- But pacct said btime is 13:16:40 real 10.11 <- But pacct said etime is 6.10 user 5.96 <- But pacct said utime is 0.00 sys 0.14 <- But pacct said stime is 0.00 $ -- Test results in patched kernel ------- $ date; time -p ./bugacct Tue Mar 28 13:20:21 JST 2006 real 10.04 user 5.83 sys 0.19 $ In the original 2.6.16 kernel, pacct records btime, utime, stime, etime and minflt incorrectly. In my opinion, this problem is caused by an assumption that group_leader dies last. The following section calculates process running time for etime and btime. But it means running time of the thread that dies last, not process. The start_time of the first thread in the process (group_leader) should be reduced from uptime to calculate etime and btime correctly. ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c: /* calculate run_time in nsec*/ do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime); run_time = (u64)uptime.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + uptime.tv_nsec; run_time -= (u64)current->start_time.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + current->start_time.tv_nsec; ---- The following section calculates stime and utime of the process. But it might count the utime and stime of the group_leader duplicatly and ignore the utime and stime of the thread dies last, when one or more threads remain after group_leader dead. The ac_utime should be calculated as the sum of the signal->utime and utime of the thread dies last. The ac_stime should be done also. ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c: jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->utime, current->signal->utime)); ac.ac_utime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies)); jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->stime, current->signal->stime)); ac.ac_stime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies)); ---- The part of the minflt/majflt calculation has same problem. This patch solves those problems, I think. Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
