UBUNTU: SAUCE: (namespace) ext4: Add support for unprivileged mounts from user namespaces
Support unprivileged mounting of ext4 volumes from user
namespaces. This requires the following changes:
- Perform all uid, gid, and projid conversions to/from disk
relative to s_user_ns. In many cases this will already be
handled by the vfs helper functions. This also requires
updates to handle cases where ids may not map into s_user_ns.
A new helper, projid_valid_eq(), is added to help with this.
- Update most capability checks to check for capabilities in
s_user_ns rather than init_user_ns. These mostly reflect
changes to the filesystem that a user in s_user_ns could
already make externally by virtue of having write access to
the backing device.
- Restrict unsafe options in either the mount options or the
ext4 superblock. Currently the only concerning option is
errors=panic, and this is made to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in
init_user_ns.
- Verify that unprivileged users have the required access to the
journal device at the path passed via the journal_path mount
option.
Note that for the journal_path and the journal_dev mount
options, and for external journal devices specified in the
ext4 superblock, devcgroup restrictions will be enforced by
__blkdev_get(), (via blkdev_get_by_dev()), ensuring that the
user has been granted appropriate access to the block device.
- Set the FS_USERNS_MOUNT flag on the filesystem types supported
by ext4.

In order to support mounts from namespaces other than

patch does that, with a couple of restrictions on the namespace:
- The userns for the fuse connection is fixed to the namespace

The user in control of a super block should be allowed to freeze
and thaw it. Relax the restrictions on the FIFREEZE and FITHAW
ioctls to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in s_user_ns.
UBUNTU: SAUCE: (namespace) capabilities: Allow privileged user in s_user_ns to set security.* xattrs
A privileged user in s_user_ns will generally have the ability to
manipulate the backing store and insert security.* xattrs into
the filesystem directly. Therefore the kernel must be prepared to
handle these xattrs from unprivileged mounts, and it makes little
sense for commoncap to prevent writing these xattrs to the
filesystem. The capability and LSM code have already been updated
to appropriately handle xattrs from unprivileged mounts, so it
is safe to loosen this restriction on setting xattrs.
The exception to this logic is that writing xattrs to a mounted
filesystem may also cause the LSM inode_post_setxattr or
inode_setsecurity callbacks to be invoked. SELinux will deny the
xattr update by virtue of applying mountpoint labeling to
unprivileged userns mounts, and Smack will deny the writes for
any user without global CAP_MAC_ADMIN, so loosening the
capability check in commoncap is safe in this respect as well.
UBUNTU: SAUCE: (namespace) fs: Allow superblock owner to access do_remount_sb()
Superblock level remounts are currently restricted to global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, as is the path for changing the root mount to
read only on umount. Loosen both of these permission checks to
also allow CAP_SYS_ADMIN in any namespace which is privileged
towards the userns which originally mounted the filesystem.
UBUNTU: SAUCE: (namespace) fs: Allow superblock owner to change ownership of inodes
Allow users with CAP_SYS_CHOWN over the superblock of a filesystem to
chown files. Ordinarily the capable_wrt_inode_uidgid check is
sufficient to allow access to files but when the underlying filesystem
has uids or gids that don't map to the current user namespace it is
not enough, so the chown permission checks need to be extended to
allow this case.
Calling chown on filesystem nodes whose uid or gid don't map is
necessary if those nodes are going to be modified as writing back
inodes which contain uids or gids that don't map is likely to cause
filesystem corruption of the uid or gid fields.
Once chown has been called the existing capable_wrt_inode_uidgid
checks are sufficient, to allow the owner of a superblock to do anything
the global root user can do with an appropriate set of capabilities.
For the proc filesystem this relaxation of permissions is not safe, as
some files are owned by users (particularly GLOBAL_ROOT_UID) outside
of the control of the mounter of the proc and that would be unsafe to
grant chown access to. So update setattr on proc to disallow changing
files whose uids or gids are outside of proc's s_user_ns.

The default kernel value for RAID6_TIME_JIFFIES_LG2 is 4, however, emperical
testing shows that a value of 3.5 is the sweet spot for getting consistent
benchmarking results and speeding up the run time of the benchmarking.
To achieve 2^3.5 we use the following:
2^3.5 = 2^4 / 2^0.5
= 2^4 / sqrt(2)
= 2^4 * 0.707106781
Too keep this as integer math that is as accurate as required and avoiding
overflow, this becomes:
= 2^4 * 181 / 256
= (2^4 * 181) >> 8
We also need to scale down perf by the same factor, however, to
get a good approximate integer result without an overflow we scale
by 2^4.0 * sqrt(2) =
= 2 ^ 4 * 1.41421356237
= 2 ^ 4 * 1448 / 1024
= (2 ^ 4 * 1448) >> 10
This has been tested on 2 AWS instances, a small t2 and a medium m3
with 30 boot tests each and compared to the same instances booted 30
times on an umodified kernel. In all results, we get the same
algorithms being selected and a 100% consistent result over the 30

the original functionality.

UBUNTU: SAUCE: overlayfs: Be more careful about copying up sxid files
When an overlayfs filesystem's lowerdir is on a nosuid filesystem
but the upperdir is not, it's possible to copy up an sxid file or
stick directory into upperdir without changing the mode by
opening the file rw in the overlayfs mount without writing to it.
This makes it possible to bypass the nosuid restriction on the
lowerdir mount.
It's a bad idea in general to let the mounter copy up a sxid file
if the mounter wouldn't have had permission to create the sxid
file in the first place. Therefore change ovl_set_xattr to
exclude these bits when initially setting the mode, then set the
full mode after setting the user for the inode. This allows copy
up for non-sxid files to work as before but causes copy up to
fail for the cases where the user could not have created the sxid
inode in upperdir.
In the mark_source_chains function (net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c) it
is possible for a user-supplied ipt_entry structure to have a large
next_offset field. This field is not bounds checked prior to writing a
counter value at the supplied offset.
Problem is that xt_entry_foreach() macro stops iterating once e->next_offset
is out of bounds, assuming this is the last entry.
With malformed data thats not necessarily the case so we can
write outside of allocated area later as we might not have walked the
entire blob.
Fix this by simplifying mark_source_chains -- it already has to check
if nextoff is in range to catch invalid jumps, so just do the check
when we move to a next entry as well.
Also, check that the offset meets the xtables_entry alignment.

values reported by _BCL affect a change in brightness. _BCM silently

the 16 brightness levels which actually work. Add a quirk to do this
along with a dmi callback to disable Win8 compatibility.
The kernel boot parameter 'nr_cpus=' allows one to specify number of
possible cpus in the system. In the normal scenario the first cpu (cpu0)
that shows up is the boot cpu and hence it gets covered under nr_cpus
limit.
But this assumption will be broken in kdump scenario where kdump kenrel
after a crash can boot up on an non-zero boot cpu. The paca structure
allocation depends on value of nr_cpus and is indexed using logical cpu
ids. This definetly will be an issue if boot cpu id > nr_cpus
This patch modifies allocate_pacas() and smp_setup_cpu_maps() to

UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) add compat_uts_machine= kernel command line override
We wish to use the arm64 buildds to build armhf binaries in 32bit chroots.
To make this work we need uname to return armv7l machine type. To achieve
this add a kernel command line override for the 32bit machine type.
Add compat_uts_machine=<type> to allow the LINUX32 personality to return
that type for uname.

On an ASUSTek G60JX laptop, the intel_ips driver spams the log with a warning message: "ME failed to update for more than 1s, likely hung". This ME doesn't support the feature, so requesting it be blacklisted for now.

UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) trace: add trace events for open(), exec() and uselib() (for v3.7+)
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462111
This patch uses TRACE_EVENT to add tracepoints for the open(),
exec() and uselib() syscalls so that ureadahead can cheaply trace
the boot sequence to determine what to read to speed up the next.
It's not upstream because it will need to be rebased onto the syscall
trace events whenever that gets merged, and is a stop-gap.

Instead of SEMI_MT, present a full mt interface with simulated contact
positions for >=3 fingers. Enables e.g. multi-finger tap and drag for
old userspace applications which only count the contact positions.

Reverting this in the kernel as opposed to adding a sysctl
to the procps package guarentees that this regression will be
propagated to the Raring LTS kernel.
