[PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards

Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.

Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded.  On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding.  This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.

Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.

Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used.  This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary.  There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.

The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident.  Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host.  I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

[NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86

When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size
of the entire entry as:

sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target))

ipt_standard_target looks like this:

  struct xt_standard_target
  {
        struct xt_entry_target target;
        int verdict;
  };

xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the
structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit
architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4
byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large.

The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by

  sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target),

which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace
was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by
accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other
architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to
the size and following offsets.

ptes pointing to the page.  We need to first unmap the ptes before checking
for PageDirty().  If unmap is successful then the page count of the page
will also be decreased so that pageout() works properly.

This is a fix necessary for 2.6.17.  Without this fix we may migrate dirty
pages for filesystems without migration functions.  Filesystems may keep
pointers to dirty pages.  Migration of dirty pages can result in the
filesystem keeping pointers to freed pages.

Unmapping is currently not be separated out from removing all the
references to a page and moving the mapping.  Therefore try_to_unmap will
be called again in migrate_page() if the writeout is successful.  However,
it wont do anything since the ptes are already removed.

The coming updates to the page migration code will restructure the code
so that this is no longer necessary.

   centralize it in Makefile.rules.  UNPROFILE_OBJS mustn't be listed in

I've also verified that unprofile didn't work in the current form, because we

which is normally used by c_flags, but we also override c_flags for all
USER_OBJS, and there we don't call unprofile.

Instead it only worked for unmap.o, the only one which wasn't a USER_OBJ.

We need to set c_flags (which is not a public Kbuild API) to clear a lot of
compilation flags like -nostdinc which Kbuild forces on everything.

*) Rather than $(CFLAGS_$(notdir $@)), which expands to CFLAGS_anObj.s when
   building "anObj.s", use $(CFLAGS_$(*F).o) which always accesses
   CFLAGS_anObj.o, like done by Kbuild.

*) Make c_flags apply to all targets having the same basename, rather than
   listing .s, .i, .lst and .o, with the use (which I tested) of

[PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing

1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
        - audit_ipc_obj()
        - audit_ipc_set_perm()

There's a key shift here...  The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object.  This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places.  Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check.  Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call.  In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.

The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes.  In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).

2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type.  This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes.  Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message.  Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type.  No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

[PATCH] support for context based audit filtering

The following patch provides selinux interfaces that will allow the audit
system to perform filtering based on the process context (user, role, type,
sensitivity, and clearance).  These interfaces will allow the selinux
module to perform efficient matches based on lower level selinux constructs,
rather than relying on context retrievals and string comparisons within
the audit module.  It also allows for dominance checks on the mls portion
of the contexts that are impossible with only string comparisons.

would become zero and later back at the original context we'll pass
