Based on discussion on lkml (Andrew Morton and Eric Paris),
move ima_counts_get down a layer into shmem/hugetlb__file_setup().
Resolves drm shmem_file_setup() usage case as well.
HD comment:
I still think you're doing this at the wrong level, but recognize
that you probably won't be persuaded until a few more users of
alloc_file() emerge, all wanting your ima_counts_get().
Resolving GEM's shmem_file_setup() is an improvement, so I'll say

The IMA TCB policy is dangerous. A normal use can use all of a system's
memory (which cannot be freed) simply by building and running lots of
executables. The TCB policy is also nearly useless because logging in as root
often causes a policy violation when dealing with utmp, thus rendering the
measurements meaningless.
There is no good fix for this in the kernel. A full TCB policy would need to
be loaded in userspace using LSM rule matching to get both a protected and
useful system. But, if too little is measured before userspace can load a real
policy one again ends up with a meaningless set of measurements. One option
would be to put the policy load inside the initrd in order to get it early
enough in the boot sequence to be useful, but this runs into trouble with the
LSM. For IMA to measure the LSM policy and the LSM policy loading mechanism
it needs rules to do so, but we already talked about problems with defaulting
to such broad rules....
IMA also depends on the files being measured to be on an FS which implements
and supports i_version. Since the only FS with this support (ext4) doesn't
even use it by default it seems silly to have any IMA rules by default.
This should reduce the performance overhead of IMA to near 0 while still
letting users who choose to configure their machine as such to inclue the
ima_tcb kernel paramenter and get measurements during boot before they can
load a customized, reasonable policy in userspace.

Yes, that check is obsoleted by the conversion of those functions to
using simple_read_from_buffer(), which will reduce count if necessary to
what is available in the buffer.

The IMA default policy measures every single file opened by root. This is
terrible for most users. Consider a system (like mine) with virtual machine
images. When those images are touched (which happens at boot for me) those
images are measured. This is just way too much for the default case.

The IMA policy file does not implement read. Trying to just open/read/close
the file will load a blank policy and you cannot then change the policy
without a reboot. This removes the read permission from the file so one must
at least be attempting to write...

get_event_name uses sprintf to fill a buffer declared on the stack. It fills
the buffer 2 bytes at a time. What the code doesn't take into account is that
sprintf(buf, "%02x", data) actually writes 3 bytes. 2 bytes for the data and
then it nul terminates the string. Since we declare buf to be 40 characters
long and then we write 40 bytes of data into buf sprintf is going to write 41
characters. The fix is to leave room in buf for the nul terminator.

Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace by taking the target task's
cred_guard_mutex around it. The problem is that setprocattr() may otherwise
note the lack of a debugger, and then perform an action on that basis whilst
letting a debugger attach between the two points. Holding cred_guard_mutex
across the test and the action prevents ptrace_attach() from doing that.

Rename cred_exec_mutex to reflect that it's a guard against foreign
intervention on a process's credential state, such as is made by ptrace(). The
attachment of a debugger to a process affects execve()'s calculation of the new

md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
rd2 -> dev-sda
indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.
These links are only present when the array is active. They are
created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after ->stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.
So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.
It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.
It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').
Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.
So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.
This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

Two problems in status_resync.
1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
now uses sectors uniformly.
2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
the range of "unsigned long".
So
- change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
in there and in 'resync'
- Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
remaining sectors.
- use sector_div rather than normal division.
- change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
+ making it a power of 2 makes division easier
+ it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged
speed over the entire run. Now we average speed over the last 30
seconds or so.

If a write intent bitmap covers more than 2TB, we sometimes work with
values beyond 32bit, so these need to be sector_t. This patches
add the required casts to some unsigned longs that are being shifted
up.
This will affect any raid10 larger than 2TB, or any raid1/4/5/6 with
member devices that are larger than 2TB.

If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just
one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and
array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't
complete (because a device is still missing).
This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without
any IO happening, which would result in loss of data.
This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits
if the array will still be degraded.
This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills
each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the
write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and
bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this
can sometimes fail.
Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call
to write_page.
This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the
data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for
-stable.

It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.
And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.
Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.
I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
out.

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>
To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.
The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.
The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

EXPORT_SYMBOL() and kmalloc but misses the needed includes.

With the removal of duplicate unpack_to_rootfs() (commit
df52092f3c97788592ef72501a43fb7ac6a3cfe0) the messages displayed do not
actually correspond to what the kernel is doing. In addition, depending
if ramdisks are supported or not, the messages are not at all the same.
So keep the messages more in sync with what is really doing the kernel,
and only display a second message in case of failure. This also ensure
that the printk message cannot be split by other printk's.

NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines
whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess
space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting
of this variable a Kconfig configuration option.
The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates
in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a
power of 2.
There are two alternatives:
(1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the
lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so
or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever.
(2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is
limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient
process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be
reused fairly quickly.
During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and
this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs
grow greatly during this time.
By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling
batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot.
A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option
off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration
processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.
