Change handling of invalid classes by SELinux, reporting class values
unknown to the kernel as errors (w/ ratelimit applied) and handling
class values unknown to policy as normal denials.

SELinux: fix off by 1 reference of class_to_string in context_struct_compute_av
The class_to_string array is referenced by tclass. My code mistakenly
was using tclass - 1. If the proceeding class is a userspace class
rather than kernel class this may cause a denial/EINVAL even if unknown
handling is set to allow. The bug shouldn't be allowing excess
privileges since those are given based on the contents of another array
which should be correctly referenced.
At this point in time its pretty unlikely this is going to cause
problems. The most recently added kernel classes which could be
affected are association, dccp_socket, and peer. Its pretty unlikely
any policy with handle_unknown=allow doesn't have association and
dccp_socket undefined (they've been around longer than unknown handling)
and peer is conditionalized on a policy cap which should only be defined
if that class exists in policy.

Fix an endianness bug in the handling of network node addresses by

Security: split proc ptrace checking into read vs. attach
Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via
proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to
ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only
read access or full attach access is requested. This allows security
modules to permit access to reading process state without granting
full ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.
Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach
check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task
to already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within
proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the
read mode instead of attach.
In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a
reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label. This
enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without
permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are
a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc
but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,
lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between
allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)
or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials
via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).
This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler
(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access
mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).
Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and
ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access
interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0
or -errno vs. 1 or 0). I retained this difference to avoid any
changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by
changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and
by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.

selinux: support deferred mapping of contexts
Introduce SELinux support for deferred mapping of security contexts in
the SID table upon policy reload, and use this support for inode
security contexts when the context is not yet valid under the current
policy. Only processes with CAP_MAC_ADMIN + mac_admin permission in
policy can set undefined security contexts on inodes. Inodes with
such undefined contexts are treated as having the unlabeled context
until the context becomes valid upon a policy reload that defines the
context. Context invalidation upon policy reload also uses this
support to save the context information in the SID table and later
recover it upon a subsequent policy reload that defines the context
again.
This support is to enable package managers and similar programs to set
down file contexts unknown to the system policy at the time the file
is created in order to better support placing loadable policy modules
in packages and to support build systems that need to create images of
different distro releases with different policies w/o requiring all of
the contexts to be defined or legal in the build host policy.
With this patch applied, the following sequence is possible, although
in practice it is recommended that this permission only be allowed to
specific program domains such as the package manager.

Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:
/*
* Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
* and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
* code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
* which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
*/
The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.
With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:
Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).
try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But

ipv4: fib_trie: Fix lookup error return
In commit a07f5f508a4d9728c8e57d7f66294bf5b254ff7f "[IPV4] fib_trie: style
cleanup", the changes to check_leaf() and fn_trie_lookup() were wrong - where
fn_trie_lookup() would previously return a negative error value from
check_leaf(), it now returns 0.
Now fn_trie_lookup() doesn't appear to care about plen, so we can revert
check_leaf() to returning the error value.

"The register %ecx looks innocent but is very important here. The disassembly:
mov %edx,%ecx
shr $0x2,%ecx
rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault
So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
(0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)
%ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:
memset(object, 0, c->objsize);
i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...
c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());
This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
has been freed?"
Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

Fix PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU
PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called
to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the
hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with
CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and
without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu
function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the
rcu CPU map.
With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely
oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in
free-before-grace bugs.
Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to
__cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

ocfs2: Fix flags in ocfs2_file_lock
The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now
use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock
code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because
the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm.
The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is
eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm().
Add ioremap_default(), which gives a sane mapping without worrying about
type conflicts.
Use it in /dev/mem read in place of ioremap(), as with ioremap(),
any mapping of the region (other than UC_MINUS) will cause a conflict
and failure of /dev/mem read.
I think we may have a race between try_to_wake_up() and
migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu() when the later one
may end up looping endlessly.
Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is
called so we may get a race between try_to_wake_up() and
migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu(). The former one may push
a task out of a dead CPU causing the later one to loop endlessly.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix endless loop
When a conntrack entry is destroyed in process context and destruction
is interrupted by packet processing and the packet is an attempt to
reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry
itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook
again. This may lead to an endless loop: TCP conntrack repeatedly
finds the old entry, but can not kill it itself since destruction
is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not
complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy.
Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection
ourselves to avoid this.

Now that rpcb_next_version has been split into an IPv4 version and an IPv6

RPC procedure in rpcb_next_version.
Fix the Oops simply by having rpcb_getport_async pass the correct RPC
procedure as an argument.
It is wrong to be freeing up the rpcbind arguments if the call to
rpcb_call_async() fails, since they should already have been freed up by
rpcb_map_release().
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() takes page offset arguments, not byte
ranges.
Another thought is that individual pages might perhaps get evicted by VM
pressure, in which case we might perhaps want to re-read not only the
evicted page, but all subsequent pages too (in case the server returns
more/less data per page so that the alignment of the next entry
changes). We should therefore remove the condition that we only do this on
page->index==0.
