marked __init, which is actively wrong, and will lead to oops. But we
never saw this oops, because they always managed to get inlined in their

x86: fix CONFIG_PAGEALLOC related boot hangs/OOMs
if CONFIG_PAGEALLOC is enabled then X86_FEATURE_PSE is disabled and all
the kernel physical RAM pagetables are set up as 4K pages. This is
needed so that CONFIG_PAGEALLOC can do finegrained mapping and unmapping
of pages.
as a side-effect though, the total size of memory allocated as kernel
pagetables increases significantly. All these pagetables are allocated
via alloc_bootmem_low_pages(), straight out of the lowmem DMA pool. If
the system has enough RAM and a large kernel image then almost all of
the 16 MB lowmem DMA pool is allocated to the image and to pagetables -
leaving no space for __GFP_DMA allocations.
this results in drivers failing and the bootup hanging:
the fix is to first allocate from above the DMA pool, and if that fails
(for example due to it being a machine with less than 16 MB of RAM),
allocate from the DMA pool as a fallback.
With this fix applied i was able to boot a PAGEALLOC=y kernel that would
hang before.

Nov 13:

capabilities are the default.
Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
audit messages.

they called a program with some fscaps.
One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?
It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.
task_setscheduler
note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with
CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
task_setioprio
task_setnice
sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
process. Need same checks as setrlimit
Aug 21:
Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
might still have elevated caps.
Aug 15:
Handle endianness of xattrs.
Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
set, else return -EPERM.
With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
d_instantiate.

Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security

overall security architecture.
Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API

Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified

The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.
In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface
is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree
modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

Express relocatability of kernel on x86_64 in documentation
This patch adapts the Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt file to express the fact
that the x86_64 kernel is now also relocatable. This makes i386 and x86_64
now behave the same, simplifying the documentation.

kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and html
Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.
DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were. Fixed that.
However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to <p>, which isn't good for the
generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.

r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().
The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually. With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission(). Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.
So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()
We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().
Here's the patch.

r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's
Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.
This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.
It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.
This patch:
Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.
This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.
Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

This means, that write() on the fuse device will not return -ENOENT during
normal operation, only if the filesystem is aborted by a forced umount or
through the fusectl interface.

earlier kernel versions is not required.

fuse: fix permission checking on sticky directories
The VFS checks sticky bits on the parent directory even if the filesystem
defines it's own ->permission(). In some situations (sshfs, mountlo, etc) the
user does have permission to delete a file even if the attribute based
checking would not allow it.
So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning
them in stat(), but cutting the permission bits off from inode->i_mode.
This is slightly hackish, but it's probably not worth it to add new
infrastructure in VFS and a slight performance penalty for all filesystems,
just for the sake of fuse.
