d7ec435fdd X.509: Fix certificate gathering
Fix the gathering of certificates from both the source tree and the build tree
to correctly calculate the pathnames of all the certificates.

The problem was that if the default generated cert, signing_key.x509, didn't
exist then it would not have a path attached and if it did, it would have a
path attached.

This means that the contents of kernel/.x509.list would change between the
first compilation in a directory and the second.  After the second it would
remain stable because the signing_key.x509 file exists.

The consequence was that the kernel would get relinked unconditionally on the
second recompilation.  The second recompilation would also show something like
this:

   X.509 certificate list changed
     CERTS   kernel/x509_certificate_list
     - Including cert /home/torvalds/v2.6/linux/signing_key.x509
     AS      kernel/system_certificates.o
     LD      kernel/built-in.o

which is why the relink would happen.


Unfortunately, it isn't a simple matter of just sticking a path on the front
of the filename of the certificate in the build directory as make can't then
work out how to build it.

So the path has to be prepended to the name for sorting and duplicate
elimination and then removed for the make rule if it is in the build tree.

78dc53c422 Merge branch 'for-linus2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull security subsystem updates from James Morris:
 "In this patchset, we finally get an SELinux update, with Paul Moore
  taking over as maintainer of that code.

  Also a significant update for the Keys subsystem, as well as
  maintenance updates to Smack, IMA, TPM, and Apparmor"

and since I wanted to know more about the updates to key handling,
here's the explanation from David Howells on that:

 "Okay.  There are a number of separate bits.  I'll go over the big bits
  and the odd important other bit, most of the smaller bits are just
  fixes and cleanups.  If you want the small bits accounting for, I can
  do that too.

   (1) Keyring capacity expansion.

        KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
        KEYS: Introduce a search context structure
        KEYS: Search for auth-key by name rather than target key ID
        Add a generic associative array implementation.
        KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring

     Several of the patches are providing an expansion of the capacity of a
     keyring.  Currently, the maximum size of a keyring payload is one page.
     Subtract a small header and then divide up into pointers, that only gives
     you ~500 pointers on an x86_64 box.  However, since the NFS idmapper uses
     a keyring to store ID mapping data, that has proven to be insufficient to
     the cause.

     Whatever data structure I use to handle the keyring payload, it can only
     store pointers to keys, not the keys themselves because several keyrings
     may point to a single key.  This precludes inserting, say, and rb_node
     struct into the key struct for this purpose.

     I could make an rbtree of records such that each record has an rb_node
     and a key pointer, but that would use four words of space per key stored
     in the keyring.  It would, however, be able to use much existing code.

     I selected instead a non-rebalancing radix-tree type approach as that
     could have a better space-used/key-pointer ratio.  I could have used the
     radix tree implementation that we already have and insert keys into it by
     their serial numbers, but that means any sort of search must iterate over
     the whole radix tree.  Further, its nodes are a bit on the capacious side
     for what I want - especially given that key serial numbers are randomly
     allocated, thus leaving a lot of empty space in the tree.

     So what I have is an associative array that internally is a radix-tree
     with 16 pointers per node where the index key is constructed from the key
     type pointer and the key description.  This means that an exact lookup by
     type+description is very fast as this tells us how to navigate directly to
     the target key.

     I made the data structure general in lib/assoc_array.c as far as it is
     concerned, its index key is just a sequence of bits that leads to a
     pointer.  It's possible that someone else will be able to make use of it
     also.  FS-Cache might, for example.

   (2) Mark keys as 'trusted' and keyrings as 'trusted only'.

        KEYS: verify a certificate is signed by a 'trusted' key
        KEYS: Make the system 'trusted' keyring viewable by userspace
        KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flag
        KEYS: Separate the kernel signature checking keyring from module signing

     These patches allow keys carrying asymmetric public keys to be marked as
     being 'trusted' and allow keyrings to be marked as only permitting the
     addition or linkage of trusted keys.

     Keys loaded from hardware during kernel boot or compiled into the kernel
     during build are marked as being trusted automatically.  New keys can be
     loaded at runtime with add_key().  They are checked against the system
     keyring contents and if their signatures can be validated with keys that
     are already marked trusted, then they are marked trusted also and can
     thus be added into the master keyring.

     Patches from Mimi Zohar make this usable with the IMA keyrings also.

   (3) Remove the date checks on the key used to validate a module signature.

        X.509: Remove certificate date checks

     It's not reasonable to reject a signature just because the key that it was
     generated with is no longer valid datewise - especially if the kernel
     hasn't yet managed to set the system clock when the first module is
     loaded - so just remove those checks.

   (4) Make it simpler to deal with additional X.509 being loaded into the kernel.

        KEYS: Load *.x509 files into kernel keyring
        KEYS: Have make canonicalise the paths of the X.509 certs better to deduplicate

     The builder of the kernel now just places files with the extension ".x509"
     into the kernel source or build trees and they're concatenated by the
     kernel build and stuffed into the appropriate section.

   (5) Add support for userspace kerberos to use keyrings.

        KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos caches
        KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfs

     Fedora went to, by default, storing kerberos tickets and tokens in tmpfs.
     We looked at storing it in keyrings instead as that confers certain
     advantages such as tickets being automatically deleted after a certain
     amount of time and the ability for the kernel to get at these tokens more
     easily.

     To make this work, two things were needed:

     (a) A way for the tickets to persist beyond the lifetime of all a user's
         sessions so that cron-driven processes can still use them.

         The problem is that a user's session keyrings are deleted when the
         session that spawned them logs out and the user's user keyring is
         deleted when the UID is deleted (typically when the last log out
         happens), so neither of these places is suitable.

         I've added a system keyring into which a 'persistent' keyring is
         created for each UID on request.  Each time a user requests their
         persistent keyring, the expiry time on it is set anew.  If the user
         doesn't ask for it for, say, three days, the keyring is automatically
         expired and garbage collected using the existing gc.  All the kerberos
         tokens it held are then also gc'd.

     (b) A key type that can hold really big tickets (up to 1MB in size).

         The problem is that Active Directory can return huge tickets with lots
         of auxiliary data attached.  We don't, however, want to eat up huge
         tracts of unswappable kernel space for this, so if the ticket is
         greater than a certain size, we create a swappable shmem file and dump
         the contents in there and just live with the fact we then have an
         inode and a dentry overhead.  If the ticket is smaller than that, we
         slap it in a kmalloc()'d buffer"

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
<asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).

But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
config-x86.  Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.

Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek:

 - Alias generation in modpost is cross-compile safe.

 - kernel/timeconst.h is now generated using a bc script instead of
   perl.

 - scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now works with an alternative
   $KCONFIG_CONFIG.

 - destination-y for exported headers is supported in Kbuild files
   again.

 - depmod is called with -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX on architectures that
   need it.

 - CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED disables var-tracking

 - scripts/setlocalversion works with too much translated locales ;)

70730bca13 kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script
bc is the standard tool for multi-precision arithmetic.  We switched
to Perl because akpm reported a hard-to-reproduce build hang, which
was very odd because affected and unaffected machines were all running
the same version of GNU bc.

Unfortunately switching to Perl required a really ugly "canning"
mechanism to support Perl < 5.8 installations lacking the Math::BigInt
module.

It was recently pointed out to me that some very old versions of GNU
make had problems with pipes in subshells, which was indeed the
construct used in the Makefile rules in that version of the patch;
Perl didn't need it so switching to Perl fixed the problem for
unrelated reasons.  With the problem (hopefully) root-caused, we can
switch back to bc and do the arbitrary-precision arithmetic naturally.

Conflicts:

Pull the latest RCU tree from Paul E. McKenney:

"       The major features of this series are:

  1.	A first version of no-callbacks CPUs.  This version prohibits
  	offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
  	Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready
  	for prime time.  These commits were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724, and are at branch rcu/nocb.

  2.	Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct
  	structures.  These commits were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296, and are at branch rcu/srcu.

  3.	Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output.  These commits were posted
  	to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341, and are at
  	branch rcu/tracing.

  4.	Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327, and are at branch rcu/hotplug.
  	Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to
  	be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9.

  5.	Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module
  	parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to
  	their expedited equivalents.  These were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739, and are at branch rcu/idle.

  6.	Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility,
  	posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315, and
  	are at branch rcu/stall.  The most notable change reduces the
  	default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds,
  	so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout.

  7.	Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280, and are at branch rcu/doc.
  	A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547.

  8.	Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at
  	https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/309, along with a late-breaking
  	change posted at Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:26:25 -0800 with message-ID
  	<20121116192625.GA447@linux.vnet.ibm.com>, but which lkml.org
  	seems to have missed.  These are at branch rcu/fixes.

  9.	Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML

91d1aa43d3 context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem
Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

2008713c71 Makefile: Documentation for external tool should be correct
If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be
correct.  This is not:

1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither
   necessary nor desired.  This is especially so since newer
   versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources.
2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not
   /dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the
   past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on
   /dev/hwrng.)

Overall it is better if the documentation for rngd is kept with rngd
rather than in a kernel Makefile.

5e8cb1e441 MODSIGN: Use the same digest for the autogen key sig as for the module sig
Use the same digest type for the autogenerated key signature as for the module
signature so that the hash algorithm is guaranteed to be present in the kernel.

Without this, the X.509 certificate loader may reject the X.509 certificate so
generated because it was self-signed and the signature will be checked against
itself - but this won't work if the digest algorithm must be loaded as a
module.

The symptom is that the key fails to load with the following message emitted
into the kernel log:

	MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-65)

the error in brackets being -ENOPKG.  What you should see is something like:

	MODSIGN: Loaded cert 'Magarathea: Glacier signing key: 9588321144239a119d3406d4c4cf1fbae1836fa0'

Note that this doesn't apply to certificates that are not self-signed as we
don't check those currently as they require the parent CA certificate to be
available.

Include a PGP keyring containing the public keys required to perform module

during boot which is then populated with keys of crypto type holding the public
keys found in the PGP keyring.

These can be seen by root:

[root@andromeda ~]# cat /proc/keys

It is probably worth permitting root to invalidate these keys, resulting in
their removal and preventing further modules from being loaded with that key.

d441108c6f MODSIGN: Automatically generate module signing keys if missing
Automatically generate keys for module signing if they're absent so that
allyesconfig doesn't break.  The builder should consider generating their own
key and certificate, however, so that the keys are appropriately named.

The private key for the module signer should be placed in signing_key.priv
(unencrypted!) and the public key in an X.509 certificate as signing_key.x509.

If a transient key is desired for signing the modules, a config file for
'openssl req' can be placed in x509.genkey, looking something like the
following:

	[ req ]
	default_bits = 4096
	distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
	prompt = no
	x509_extensions = myexts

	[ req_distinguished_name ]
	O = Magarathea
	CN = Glacier signing key
	emailAddress = slartibartfast@magrathea.h2g2

	[ myexts ]
	basicConstraints=critical,CA:FALSE
	keyUsage=digitalSignature
	subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
	authorityKeyIdentifier=hash

The build process will use this to configure:

	openssl req -new -nodes -utf8 -sha1 -days 36500 -batch \
		-x509 -config x509.genkey \
		-outform DER -out signing_key.x509 \
		-keyout signing_key.priv

to generate the key.

Note that it is required that the X.509 certificate have a subjectKeyIdentifier
and an authorityKeyIdentifier.  Without those, the certificate will be
rejected.  These can be used to check the validity of a certificate.

Note that 'make distclean' will remove signing_key.{priv,x509} and x509.genkey,
whether or not they were generated automatically.

106a4ee258 module: signature checking hook
We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway).  There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.

If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
  over 30 contributors.  Most of the activity was on the tooling side.

  Higher level changes:

   - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool

   - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.

   - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
     Irina Tirdea

   - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
     users.  It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
     well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
     entry.

     The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
     ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
     ftrace nop.  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
     through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
     solution.

   - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

   - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt

   - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
     of needless calls to libtraceevent.

   - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa

   - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim

   - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
     Feng Tang

   - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
     Feng Tang.

  Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:

   - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
     tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
     like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
     Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.

   - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
     to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
     make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
     readily caught.

   - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
     next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
     files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
     from Eric Sandeen.

   - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
     a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
     'report', from Feng Tang.

   - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

   - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.

   - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
     'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.

   - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa

   - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
     unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
     from David Ahern

   - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
     browser, From Namhyung Kim

   - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.

   - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
     fix from Jiri Olsa.

   - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
     works in C++, from Steven Rostedt

   - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
     exit routine can take place, from David Ahern

   - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.

   - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose

   - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim

   - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
     from Maciek Borzecki

   - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa

   - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
     problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
     successfully.

   - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
     Ahern

   - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
     Kim

   - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
     already, fix from Namhyung Kim

   - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.

   - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa

   - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
     from Namhyung Kim

   - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
     line, from Robert Richter

   - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
     Hutchings

   - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern

   - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter

   - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt

ea632e9f12 trace: Stop compiling in trace_clock unconditionally
Commit 56449f437 "tracing: make the trace clocks available generally",
in April 2009, made trace_clock available unconditionally, since
CONFIG_X86_DS used it too.

Commit faa4602e47 "x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code",
in March 2010, removed CONFIG_X86_DS, and now only CONFIG_RING_BUFFER (split
out from CONFIG_TRACING for general use) has a dependency on trace_clock. So,
only compile in trace_clock with CONFIG_RING_BUFFER or CONFIG_TRACING
enabled.

3180d89b47 hotplug: Fix UP bug in smpboot hotplug code
Because kernel subsystems need their per-CPU kthreads on UP systems as
well as on SMP systems, the smpboot hotplug kthread functions must be
provided in UP builds as well as in SMP builds.  This commit therefore
adds smpboot.c to UP builds and excludes irrelevant code via #ifdef.

1193755ac6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs changes from Al Viro.
 "A lot of misc stuff.  The obvious groups:
   * Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of
     ->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for
     all work in that area.
   * ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the
     area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in
     general.
   * ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in
     mm/cleancache.c gone.
   * assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user)
   * parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts)
   * ->update_time() work from Josef.
   * other bits and pieces all over the place.

  Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but
  signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/"

Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the
'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS
update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).

Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile
had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the
pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the

d97b46a646 syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.

The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.

One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g.  mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.

Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate.  So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.

It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.

Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.

At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

eea62f831b brlocks/lglocks: turn into functions
lglocks and brlocks are currently generated with some complicated macros
in lglock.h.  But there's no reason to not just use common utility
functions and put all the data into a common data structure.

Since there are at least two users it makes sense to share this code in a
library.  This is also easier maintainable than a macro forest.

This will also make it later possible to dynamically allocate lglocks and
also use them in modules (this would both still need some additional, but
now straightforward, code)

e73f8959af task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks
Provide a simple mechanism that allows running code in the (nonatomic)
context of the arbitrary task.

The caller does task_work_add(task, task_work) and this task executes
task_work->func() either from do_notify_resume() or from do_exit().  The
callback can rely on PF_EXITING to detect the latter case.

"struct task_work" can be embedded in another struct, still it has "void
*data" to handle the most common/simple case.

This allows us to kill the ->replacement_session_keyring hack, and
potentially this can have more users.

Performance-wise, this adds 2 "unlikely(!hlist_empty())" checks into
tracehook_notify_resume() and do_exit().  But at the same time we can
remove the "replacement_session_keyring != NULL" checks from
arch/*/signal.c and exit_creds().

Note: task_work_add/task_work_run abuses ->pi_lock.  This is only because
this lock is already used by lookup_pi_state() to synchronize with
do_exit() setting PF_EXITING.  Fortunately the scope of this lock in
task_work.c is really tiny, and the code is unlikely anyway.
