There have been reports of auditd restarts resulting in kaudit not being able

kernel: [ 2077.233573] audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=1614
kernel: [ 2077.234712] audit: audit_lost=97 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=320
kernel: [ 2077.234718] audit: auditd disappeared
(previously mis-spelled "dissapeared")

One possible cause is a race between the shutdown of an older auditd and a
newer one.  If the newer one sets the daemon pid to itself in kauditd before
the older one has cleared the daemon pid, the newer daemon pid will be erased.
This could be caused by an automated system, or by manual intervention, but in
either case, there is no use in having the older daemon clear the daemon pid
reference since its old pid is no longer being referenced.  This patch will
prevent that specific case, returning an error of EACCES.

The case for preventing a newer auditd from registering itself if there is an
existing auditd is a more difficult case that is beyond the scope of this

audit: add kernel set-up parameter to override default backlog limit

The default audit_backlog_limit is 64.  This was a reasonable limit at one time.

systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't
start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of
2.  On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an
issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available.  On a
system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that
history until auditd is able to drain the queue.

This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system
has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot.

One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to
avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them.  This would
be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers.

Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default
based on the system type.  An embedded system would get the current (or
smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might
get more.

None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to
see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel.

This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to
enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to
allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

wake up, discover that the queue is still too long for them to proceed, and go
back to sleep.  This results in wasted context switches and machine cycles.
kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue
so we can't race.  If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and

audit: add child record before the create to handle case where create fails

Historically, when a syscall that creates a dentry fails, you get an audit
record that looks something like this (when trying to create a file named
"new" in "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63"):

    type=PATH msg=audit(1366128956.279:965): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new" inode=2138308 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023

This record makes no sense since it's associating the inode information for
"/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63" with the path "/tmp/tmp.SxiLnCcv63/new". The recent
patch I posted to fix the audit_inode call in do_last fixes this, by making it
look more like this:

    type=PATH msg=audit(1366128765.989:13875): item=0 name="/tmp/tmp.DJ1O8V3e4f/" inode=141 dev=fd:02 mode=040700 ouid=0 ogid=0 rdev=00:00 obj=staff_u:object_r:user_tmp_t:s15:c0.c1023

While this is more correct, if the creation of the file fails, then we
have no record of the filename that the user tried to create.

This patch adds a call to audit_inode_child to may_create. This creates
an AUDIT_TYPE_CHILD_CREATE record that will sit in place until the
create succeeds. When and if the create does succeed, then this record
will be updated with the correct inode info from the create.

This fixes what was broken in commit bfcec708.

The audit_status structure was not designed with extensibility in mind.
Define a new AUDIT_SET_FEATURE message type which takes a new structure
of bits where things can be enabled/disabled/locked one at a time.  This
structure should be able to grow in the future while maintaining forward

audit: printk USER_AVC messages when audit isn't enabled

When the audit=1 kernel parameter is absent and auditd is not running,
AUDIT_USER_AVC messages are being silently discarded.

AUDIT_USER_AVC messages should be sent to userspace using printk(), as
mentioned in the commit message of 4a4cd633 ("AUDIT: Optimise the
audit-disabled case for discarding user messages").

When audit_enabled is 0, audit_receive_msg() discards all user messages
except for AUDIT_USER_AVC messages. However, audit_log_common_recv_msg()
refuses to allocate an audit_buffer if audit_enabled is 0. The fix is to
special case AUDIT_USER_AVC messages in both functions.

It looks like commit 50397bd1 ("[AUDIT] clean up audit_receive_msg()")

ARC: Incorrect mm reference used in vmalloc fault handler

A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current
task's "active_mm".  ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm.

A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from
init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm
(for mm->pgd)

The reasons it worked so far is amazing:

1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD.
   In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref.

2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in

memcg: remove incorrect underflow check

When a memcg is deleted mem_cgroup_reparent_charges() moves charged
memory to the parent memcg.  As of v3.11-9444-g3ea67d0 "memcg: add per
cgroup writeback pages accounting" there's bad pointer read.  The goal
was to check for counter underflow.  The counter is a per cpu counter
and there are two problems with the code:

 (1) per cpu access function isn't used, instead a naked pointer is used
     which easily causes oops.
 (2) the check doesn't sum all cpus

Test:
  $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
  $ mkdir x
  $ echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  $ (echo $BASHPID >> x/tasks && exec cat) &
  [1] 7154
  $ grep ^mapped x/memory.stat
  mapped_file 53248
  $ echo 7154 > tasks
  $ rmdir x
  <OOPS>

The fix is to remove the check.  It's currently dangerous and isn't
worth fixing it to use something expensive, such as
percpu_counter_sum(), for each reparented page.  __this_cpu_read() isn't
enough to fix this because there's no guarantees of the current cpus
count.  The only guarantees is that the sum of all per-cpu counter is >=
nr_pages.

lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page

Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.

Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:

 - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
   block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
   finally

 - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
   on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.

 - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
   mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
   slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.

Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

11 years agomm: memcg: fix test for child groups
Johannes Weiner [Thu, 31 Oct 2013 23:34:15 +0000 (16:34 -0700)]
mm: memcg: fix test for child groups

When memcg code needs to know whether any given memcg has children, it
uses the cgroup child iteration primitives and returns true/false
depending on whether the iteration loop is executed at least once or
not.

Because a cgroup's list of children is RCU protected, these primitives
require the RCU read-lock to be held, which is not the case for all
memcg callers.  This results in the following splat when e.g.  enabling
hierarchy mode:

  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1 at kernel/cgroup.c:3043 css_next_child+0xa3/0x160()
  CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 3.12.0-rc5-00117-g83f11a9-dirty #18
  Hardware name: LENOVO 3680B56/3680B56, BIOS 6QET69WW (1.39 ) 04/26/2012
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack+0x54/0x74
    warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xa0
    warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20

    vfs_write+0xbd/0x1e0
    SyS_write+0x4c/0xa0
    system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

In the memcg case, we only care about children when we are attempting to
modify inheritable attributes interactively.  Racing with deletion could
mean a spurious -EBUSY, no problem.  Racing with addition is handled
just fine as well through the memcg_create_mutex: if the child group is
not on the list after the mutex is acquired, it won't be initialized
from the parent's attributes until after the unlock.

Commit 84235de394d9 ("fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the

fail to reclaim enough memory for the charge.  But because the main test
case was on a 3.2-based system, the patch missed the fact that on newer
kernels the charge function needs to return root_mem_cgroup when
bypassing the limit, and not NULL.  This will corrupt whatever memory is
at NULL + percpu pointer offset.  Fix this quickly before problems are

   - Revert epoll and select commits related to the freezer, introduced
     during the 3.11 cycle, that cause mysterious user space breakage to
     occur during resume from suspend to RAM for multiple users of
     32-bit x86 systems.  Material for 3.11.y stable kernels.

   - Revert a recent ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) commit that was
     part of boot problem fixes for one machine, but turns out to cause
     issues with hotplug on Thunderbolt chains with multiple devices.
     It also turns out to be unnecessary after another fix in the same
     area that went in later.  From Mika Westerberg"
