In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector
interface needed a capability check and added the idiom
cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise
that netlink was asynchronous.
In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is
synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed
the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling
capable is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the
caller which would have made calling capable() impossible.
In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between
cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
are a few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
sets PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability.
Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV
seems the right thing to do.
The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace
cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to
that child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace
and thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the
kernel services that are only protected with
cap_raised(current_cap(),..).
To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code
replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

Pull virtio S3 support patches from Amit Shah:
"Turns out S3 is not different from S4 for virtio devices: the device
is assumed to be reset, so the host and guest state are to be assumed
to be out of sync upon resume. We handle the S4 case with exactly the
same scenario, so just point the suspend/resume routines to the
freeze/restore ones.
Once that is done, we also use the PM API's macro to initialise the
sleep functions.
A couple of cleanups are included: there's no need for special thaw
processing in the balloon driver, so that's addressed in patches 1 and
2.
Testing: both S3 and S4 support have been tested using these patches
using a similar method used earlier during S4 patch development: a
guest is started with virtio-blk as the only disk, a virtio network
card, a virtio-serial port and a virtio balloon device. Ping from
guest to host, dd /dev/zero to a file on the disk, and IO from the
host on the virtio-serial port, all at once, while exercising S4 and
S3 (separately) were tested. They all continue to work fine after
resume. virtio balloon values too were tested by inflating and
deflating the balloon."

Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:
- preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
- PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling
The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI. For example for the 'CPU'
PMU we have:
aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask
those lists of fields contain a specific format:
aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
config1:0-63
So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
event format:
-e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3
Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.
But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
structured than specifying hex numbers."

be via
if (unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry)))

status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd);
if (unlikely(status <= 0)) {

unlazy:
/* no assignments to dentry */
if (dentry && unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) {

Since 3.2.12 and 3.3, some systems are failing to boot with a BUG_ON.
Some other systems using the pata_jmicron driver fail to boot because no
disks are detected. Passing pcie_aspm=force on the kernel command line
works around it.
The cause: commit 4949be1682 ("PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when
ASPM is disabled") changed the behaviour of pcie_aspm_sanity_check() to
always return 0 if aspm is disabled, in order to avoid cases where we
changed ASPM state on pre-PCIe 1.1 devices.
This skipped the secondary function of pcie_aspm_sanity_check which was
to avoid us enabling ASPM on devices that had non-PCIe children, causing
trouble later on. Move the aspm_disabled check so we continue to honour
that scenario.

Now that all the slow-path code is gone from these functions, we can
inline them into the main caller - avc_has_perm_flags().
Now the compiler can see that 'avc' is allocated on the stack for this
case, which helps register pressure a bit. It also actually shrinks the
total stack frame, because the stack frame that avc_has_perm_flags()
always needed (for that 'avc' allocation) is now sufficient for the
inlined functions too.
Inlining isn't bad - but mindless inlining of cold code (see the
previous commit) is.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The selinux AVC paths remain some of the hottest (and deepest) codepaths
at filename lookup time, and we make it worse by having the slow path
cases take up I$ and stack space even when they don't trigger. Gcc
tends to always want to inline functions that are just called once -
never mind that this might make for slower and worse code in the caller.
So this tries to improve on it a bit by making the slow-path cases
explicitly separate functions that are marked noinline, causing gcc to
at least no longer allocate stack space for them unless they are
actually called. It also seems to help register allocation a tiny bit,
since gcc now doesn't take the slow case code into account.
Uninlining the slow path may also allow us to inline the remaining hot
path into the one caller that actually matters: avc_has_perm_flags().
I'll have to look at that separately, but both avc_audit() and
avc_has_perm_noaudit() are now small and lean enough that inlining them
may make sense.
