2008-01-11sh: Force __access_ok() to obey address space limit.Paul Mundt
When the thread_info->addr_limit changes were introduced, __access_ok() was missed in the conversion, allowing user processes to perform P1/P2 accesses under certain conditions. This has already been corrected with the nommu refactoring in later kernels. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Set default CRYPTO_MINALIGN to unsigned long longHerbert Xu
Thanks to David Miller for pointing out that the SLAB (or SLOB/SLUB) cache uses the alignment of unsigned long long if the architecture kmalloc/slab alignment macros are not defined. This patch changes the CRYPTO_MINALIGN so that it uses the same default value. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Include sched.h for cond_resched in scatterwalk.hHerbert Xu
As Andrew Morton correctly points out, we need to explicitly include sched.h as we use the function cond_resched in crypto/scatterwalk.h. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] chainiv: Avoid lock spinning where possibleHerbert Xu
This patch makes chainiv avoid spinning by postponing requests on lock contention if the user allows the use of asynchronous algorithms. If a synchronous algorithm is requested then we behave as before. This should improve IPsec performance on SMP when two CPUs attempt to transmit over the same SA. Currently one of them will spin doing nothing waiting for the other CPU to finish its encryption. This patch makes it postpone the request and get on with other work. If only one CPU is transmitting for a given SA, then we will process the request synchronously as before. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] null: Add null blkcipher algorithmHerbert Xu
This patch adds a null blkcipher algorithm called ecb(cipher_null) for backwards compatibility. Previously the null algorithm when used by IPsec copied the data byte by byte. This new algorithm optimises that to a straight memcpy which lets us better measure inherent overheads in our IPsec code. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu
This patch makes crypto_alloc_aead always return algorithms that is capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt. All existing AEAD algorithms already do. New ones must either supply their own or specify a generic IV generator with the geniv field. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Add aead_geniv_alloc/aead_geniv_freeHerbert Xu
This patch creates the infrastructure to help the construction of IV generator templates that wrap around AEAD algorithms by adding an IV generator to them. This is useful for AEAD algorithms with no built-in IV generator or to replace their built-in generator. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Add top-level givencrypt/givdecrypt callsHerbert Xu
This patch finally makes the givencrypt/givdecrypt operations available to users by adding crypto_aead_givencrypt and crypto_aead_givdecrypt. A suite of helpers to allocate and fill in the request is also available. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Add givcrypt operationsHerbert Xu
This patch adds the underlying givcrypt operations for aead and associated support elements. The rationale is identical to that of the skcipher givcrypt operations, i.e., sometimes only the algorithm knows how the IV should be generated. A new request type aead_givcrypt_request is added which contains an embedded aead_request structure with two new elements to support this operation. The new elements are seq and giv. The seq field should contain a strictly increasing 64-bit integer which may be used by certain IV generators as an input value. The giv field will be used to store the generated IV. It does not need to obey the alignment requirements of the algorithm because it's not used during the operation. The existing iv field must still be available as it will be used to store intermediate IVs and the output IV if chaining is desired. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add top-level givencrypt/givdecrypt callsHerbert Xu

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Create default givcipher instancesHerbert Xu
This patch makes crypto_alloc_ablkcipher/crypto_grab_skcipher always return algorithms that are capable of generating their own IVs through givencrypt and givdecrypt. Each algorithm may specify its default IV generator through the geniv field. For algorithms that do not set the geniv field, the blkcipher layer will pick a default. Currently it's chainiv for synchronous algorithms and eseqiv for asynchronous algorithms. Note that if these wrappers do not work on an algorithm then that algorithm must specify its own geniv or it can't be used at all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Added geniv fieldHerbert Xu
This patch introduces the geniv field which indicates the default IV generator for each algorithm. It should point to a string that is not freed as long as the algorithm is registered. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add givcrypt operations and givcipher typeHerbert Xu
Different block cipher modes have different requirements for intialisation vectors. For example, CBC can use a simple randomly generated IV while modes such as CTR must use an IV generation mechanisms that give a stronger guarantee on the lack of collisions. Furthermore, disk encryption modes have their own IV generation algorithms. Up until now IV generation has been left to the users of the symmetric key cipher API. This is inconvenient as the number of block cipher modes increase because the user needs to be aware of which mode is supposed to be paired with which IV generation algorithm. Therefore it makes sense to integrate the IV generation into the crypto API. This patch takes the first step in that direction by creating two new ablkcipher operations, givencrypt and givdecrypt that generates an IV before performing the actual encryption or decryption. The operations are currently not exposed to the user. That will be done once the underlying functionality has actually been implemented. It also creates the underlying givcipher type. Algorithms that directly generate IVs would use it instead of ablkcipher. All other algorithms (including all existing ones) would generate a givcipher algorithm upon registration. This givcipher algorithm will be constructed from the geniv string that's stored in every algorithm. That string will locate a template which is instantiated by the blkcipher/ablkcipher algorithm in question to give a givcipher algorithm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] skcipher: Add crypto_grab_skcipher interfaceHerbert Xu
Note: From now on the collective of ablkcipher/blkcipher/givcipher will be known as skcipher, i.e., symmetric key cipher. The name blkcipher has always been much of a misnomer since it supports stream ciphers too. This patch adds the function crypto_grab_skcipher as a new way of getting an ablkcipher spawn. The problem is that previously we did this in two steps, first getting the algorithm and then calling crypto_init_spawn. This meant that each spawn user had to be aware of what type and mask to use for these two steps. This is difficult and also presents a problem when the type/mask changes as they're about to be for IV generators. The new interface does both steps together just like crypto_alloc_ablkcipher. As a side-effect this also allows us to be stronger on type enforcement for spawns. For now this is only done for ablkcipher but it's trivial to extend for other types. This patch also moves the type/mask logic for skcipher into the helpers crypto_skcipher_type and crypto_skcipher_mask. Finally this patch introduces the function crypto_require_sync to determine whether the user is specifically requesting a sync algorithm. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ctr: Refactor into ctr and rfc3686Herbert Xu
As discussed previously, this patch moves the basic CTR functionality into a chainable algorithm called ctr. The IPsec-specific variant of it is now placed on top with the name rfc3686. So ctr(aes) gives a chainable cipher with IV size 16 while the IPsec variant will be called rfc3686(ctr(aes)). This patch also adjusts gcm accordingly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_attr_alg_nameHerbert Xu
This patch adds a new helper crypto_attr_alg_name which is basically the first half of crypto_attr_alg. That is, it returns an algorithm name parameter as a string without looking it up. The caller can then look it up immediately or defer it until later. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Sanitise mask when allocating ablkcipher/hashHerbert Xu
When allocating ablkcipher/hash objects, we use a mask that's wider than the usual type mask. This patch sanitises the mask supplied by the user so we don't end up using a narrower mask which may lead to unintended results. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Restore custom sg chaining for nowHerbert Xu
Unfortunately the generic chaining hasn't been ported to all architectures yet, and notably not s390. So this patch restores the chainging that we've been using previously which does work everywhere. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] scatterwalk: Move scatterwalk.h to linux/cryptoHerbert Xu
The scatterwalk infrastructure is used by algorithms so it needs to move out of crypto for future users that may live in drivers/crypto or asm/*/crypto. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] authenc: Move enckeylen into key itselfHerbert Xu
Having enckeylen as a template parameter makes it a pain for hardware devices that implement ciphers with many key sizes since each one would have to be registered separately. Since the authenc algorithm is mainly used for legacy purposes where its key is going to be constructed out of two separate keys, we can in fact embed this value into the key itself. This patch does this by prepending an rtnetlink header to the key that contains the encryption key length. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] aead: Make authsize a run-time parameterHerbert Xu
As it is authsize is an algorithm paramter which cannot be changed at run-time. This is inconvenient because hardware that implements such algorithms would have to register each authsize that they support separately. Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add a function setauthsize that sets it at run-time, just like setkey. This patch does exactly that and also changes authenc so that authsize is no longer a parameter of its template. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-01-11[CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_inc and crypto_xorHerbert Xu
With the addition of more stream ciphers we need to curb the proliferation of ad-hoc xor functions. This patch creates a generic pair of functions, crypto_inc and crypto_xor which does big-endian increment and exclusive or, respectively. For optimum performance, they both use u32 operations so alignment must be as that of u32 even though the arguments are of type u8 *. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-11[CRYPTO] ablkcipher: Add distinct ABLKCIPHER typeHerbert Xu
Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it refers to and algorithm type underneath. As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level interface. This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated with the algorithm implementation only. Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the new ablkcipher interface. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2008-01-08[NET]: Clone the sk_buff 'iif' field in __skb_clone()Paul Moore
Both NetLabel and SELinux (other LSMs may grow to use it as well) rely on the 'iif' field to determine the receiving network interface of inbound packets. Unfortunately, at present this field is not preserved across a skb clone operation which can lead to garbage values if the cloned skb is sent back through the network stack. This patch corrects this problem by properly copying the 'iif' field in __skb_clone() and removing the 'iif' field assignment from skb_act_clone() since it is no longer needed. Also, while we are here, put the assignments in the same order as the offsets to reduce cacheline bounces. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-01-08[NET]: Add NAPI_STATE_DISABLE.David S. Miller
Create a bit to signal that a napi_disable() is in progress. This sets up infrastructure such that net_rx_action() can generically break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish). Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit (to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit() provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops. napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable is pending. As a result, we can remove the netif_running() check in netif_rx_schedule_prep() because the NAPI disable pending state serves this purpose. And, it does so in a NAPI centric manner which is what we really want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-08[NET]: Do not grab device reference when scheduling a NAPI poll.David S. Miller
It is pointless, because everything that can make a device go away will do a napi_disable() first. The main impetus behind this is that now we can legally do a NAPI completion in generic code like net_rx_action() which a following changeset needs to do. net_rx_action() can only perform actions in NAPI centric ways, because there may be a one to many mapping between NAPI contexts and network devices (SKY2 is one example). We also want to get rid of this because it's an extra atomic in the NAPI paths, and also because it is one of the last instances where the NAPI interfaces care about net devices. The one remaining netdev detail the NAPI stuff cares about is the netif_running() check which will be killed off in a subsequent changeset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-01-06Revert "scsi: revert "[SCSI] Get rid of scsi_cmnd->done""Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit ac40532ef0b8649e6f7f83859ea0de1c4ed08a19, which gets us back the original cleanup of 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d. It turns out that the bug that was triggered by that commit was apparently not actually triggered by that commit at all, and just the testing conditions had changed enough to make it appear to be due to it. The real problem seems to have been found by Peter Osterlund: "pktcdvd sets it [block device size] when opening the /dev/pktcdvd device, but when the drive is later opened as /dev/scd0, there is nothing that sets it back. (Btw, 40944 is possible if the disk is a CDRW that was formatted with "cdrwtool -m 10236".) The problem is that pktcdvd opens the cd device in non-blocking mode when pktsetup is run, and doesn't close it again until pktsetup -d is run. The effect is that if you meanwhile open the cd device, blkdev.c:do_open() doesn't call bd_set_size() because bdev->bd_openers is non-zero." In particular, to repeat the bug (regardless of whether commit 6f5391c283d7fdcf24bf40786ea79061919d1e1d is applied or not): " 1. Start with an empty drive. 2. pktsetup 0 /dev/scd0 3.

Insert a DVD containing a non-writable filesystem. 8. mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/tmp 9. find /mnt/tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sha1sum >/dev/null 10. If the DVD contains data beyond the physical size of a CD, you get I/O errors in the terminal, and dmesg reports lots of "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors." which in turn is because the nested open after the media change won't cause the size to be set properly (because the original open still holds the block device, and we only do the bd_set_size() when we don't have other people holding the device open). The proper fix for that is probably to just do something like bdev->bd_inode->i_size = (loff_t)get_capacity(disk)<<9; in fs/block_dev.c:do_open() even for the cases where we're not the original opener (but *not* call bd_set_size(), since that will also change the block size of the device).

2008-01-03[IA64] Update Altix BTE error return status patchRuss Anderson
I neglected to send Tony the most recent version of the patch ("Fix Altix BTE error return status") applied as commit: 64135fa97ce016058f95345425a9ebd04ee1bd2a This patch gets it up to date. Without this patch on shub2, if there is no error xpcBteUnmappedError is returned instead of xpcSuccess. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson (rja@sgi.com) Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2008-01-02restrict reading from /proc/<pid>/maps to those who share ->mm or can ptrace pidAl Viro
Contents of /proc/*/maps is sensitive and may become sensitive after open() (e.g. if target originally shares our ->mm and later does exec on suid-root binary). Check at read() (actually, ->start() of iterator) time that mm_struct we'd grabbed and locked is - still the ->mm of target - equal to reader's ->mm or the target is ptracable by reader.

2008-01-02Unify /proc/slabinfo configurationLinus Torvalds
Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for /proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's. This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB and SLAB, and shares all the setup code. Maybe SLOB will want this some day too.
