9c937dcc71 [PATCH] log more info for directory entry change events
When an audit event involves changes to a directory entry, include
a PATH record for the directory itself.  A few other notable changes:

    - fixed audit_inode_child() hooks in fsnotify_move()
    - removed unused flags arg from audit_inode()
    - added audit log routines for logging a portion of a string

Here's some sample output.

6a2bceec0e [PATCH] fix AUDIT_FILTER_PREPEND handling
Clear AUDIT_FILTER_PREPEND flag after adding rule to list.  This
fixes three problems when a rule is added with the -A syntax:

    - auditctl displays filter list as "(null)"
    - the rule cannot be removed using -d
    - a duplicate rule can be added with -a

f368c07d72 [PATCH] audit: path-based rules
In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
directories of paths specified in audit rules.  When audit's inotify
event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
filesystem event.  If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
inotify watch.

To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory.  Given
a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:

    passwd modified -- audit event logged
    passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
    bar renamed     -- rule removed
    foo renamed     -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
		       the new location

Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance.  This
patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
situation.

The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary
and uses the inotify kernel API:

20ca73bc79 [PATCH] Audit of POSIX Message Queue Syscalls v.2
This patch adds audit support to POSIX message queues.  It applies cleanly to
the lspp.b15 branch of Al Viro's git tree.  There are new auxiliary data
structures, and collection and emission routines in kernel/auditsc.c.  New hooks
in ipc/mqueue.c collect arguments from the syscalls.

I tested the patch by building the examples from the POSIX MQ library tarball.
Build them -lrt, not against the old MQ library in the tarball.  Here's the URL:
http://www.geocities.com/wronski12/posix_ipc/libmqueue-4.41.tar.gz
Do auditctl -a exit,always -S for mq_open, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive,
mq_notify, mq_getsetattr.  mq_unlink has no new hooks.  Please see the
corresponding userspace patch to get correct output from auditd for the new
record types.

ac03221a4f [PATCH] update of IPC audit record cleanup
The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
records as described in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.

To summarize, I made the following changes:

1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
   record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
   This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl().  I could simplify the
   code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
   that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
   without an IPC record and that seemed odd.

2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
   compatibility question.

3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record.  It wasn't being
   set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
   information isn't available.  If we want the information in the IPC
   record, more extensive changes will be necessary.  Since it only
   applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
   doesn't seem worth it.

4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record.  This means that
   the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.

5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names.  Replaced iuid and
   igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.

I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box.  I believe it
applies cleanly on the latest kernel.

5d136a010d [PATCH] minor audit updates
Just a few minor proposed updates.  Only the last one will
actually affect behavior.  The rest are just misleading
code.

Several AUDIT_SET functions return 'old' value, but only
return value <0 is checked for.  So just return 0.

propagate audit_set_rate_limit and audit_set_backlog_limit
error values

In audit_buffer_free, the audit_freelist_count was being
incremented even when we discard the return buffer, so
audit_freelist_count can end up wrong.  This could cause
the actual freelist to shrink over time, eventually
threatening to degrate audit performance.

9044e6bca5 [PATCH] fix deadlocks in AUDIT_LIST/AUDIT_LIST_RULES
We should not send a pile of replies while holding audit_netlink_mutex
since we hold the same mutex when we receive commands.  As the result,
we can get blocked while sending and sit there holding the mutex while
auditctl is unable to send the next command and get around to receiving
what we'd sent.

Solution: create skb and put them into a queue instead of sending;
once we are done, send what we've got on the list.  The former can
be done synchronously while we are handling AUDIT_LIST or AUDIT_LIST_RULES;
we are holding audit_netlink_mutex at that point.  The latter is done
asynchronously and without messing with audit_netlink_mutex.

The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify,
making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's
mechanism for watching inodes.  With these patches, inotify will
maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct
inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a
corresponding struct inode.  The caller registers an event handler and
specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be
called per inotify_watch.

f53ae1dc34 [PATCH] arm_timer: remove a racy and obsolete PF_EXITING check
arm_timer() checks PF_EXITING to prevent BUG_ON(->exit_state)
in run_posix_cpu_timers().

However, for some reason it does so only for CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
case (which is imho wrong).

Also, this check is not reliable, PF_EXITING could be set on
another cpu without any locks/barriers just after the check,
so it can't prevent from attaching the timer to the exiting
task.

The previous patch makes this check unneeded.

30f1e3dd8c [PATCH] run_posix_cpu_timers: remove a bogus BUG_ON()
do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.
arm_timer() tries to protect against this race, but the check
is racy.

After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.

At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were
cleanuped in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(),
so we can just return from irq.

8f17fc20bf [PATCH] check_process_timers: fix possible lockup

		t = tsk;
		do {
			....

			do {
				t = next_thread(t);
			} while (unlikely(t->flags & PF_EXITING));
		} while (t != tsk);

the outer loop will never stop.

Actually, the window is bigger.  Another process can attach the timer
after ->it_xxx_expires was cleared (see the next commit) and the 'if
(PF_EXITING)' check in arm_timer() is racy (see the one after that).

but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly.

86bc843a26 [PATCH] tmpfs: Decrement i_nlink correctly in shmem_rmdir()
shmem_rmdir() must undo the increment of i_nlink done in
shmem_get_inode() for directories, otherwise at least
IN_DELETE_SELF inotify event generation is broken.

cfd95a9cf5 [PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwards
I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while
building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to
rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs.

A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp.
However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they
were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL)
was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards.

After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a
time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity.

Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11.
Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems,
does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super.  A few more such
discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now.

d374c1c128 [sky2] Fix sky2 network driver suspend/resume
This fixes two independent problems: it would not save the PCI state on
suspend (and thus try to resume a nonexistent state on resume), and
while shut off, if an interrupt happened on the same shared irq, the irq
handler would react very badly to the interrupt status being an invalid
all-ones state.

79320d7e14 [TCP]: continued: reno sacked_out count fix
From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi>

IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
is incorrect.  it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).

with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
acked by the receiver.

without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.

think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
full.

with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were 
lost.

without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.
