Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2012-12-17T23:44:47Z

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc//ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc//ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc//ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled. Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (38 commits) proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors. proc: Fix the namespace inode permission checks. proc: Generalize proc inode allocation userns: Allow unprivilged mounts of proc and sysfs userns: For /proc/self/{uid,gid}_map derive the lower userns from the struct file procfs: Print task uids and gids in the userns that opened the proc file userns: Implement unshare of the user namespace userns: Implent proc namespace operations userns: Kill task_user_ns userns: Make create_new_namespaces take a user_ns parameter userns: Allow unprivileged use of setns. userns: Allow unprivileged users to create new namespaces userns: Allow setting a userns mapping to your current uid. userns: Allow chown and setgid preservation userns: Allow unprivileged users to create user namespaces. userns: Ignore suid and sgid on binaries if the uid or gid can not be mapped userns: fix return value on mntns_install() failure vfs: Allow unprivileged manipulation of the mount namespace. vfs: Only support slave subtrees across different user namespaces vfs: Add a user namespace reference from struct mnt_namespace ...

mm, oom: change type of oom_score_adj to short

2012-12-12T01:22:27Z

The maximum oom_score_adj is 1000 and the minimum oom_score_adj is -1000, so this range can be represented by the signed short type with no functional change. The extra space this frees up in struct signal_struct will be used for per-thread oom kill flags in the next patch.

Staging: Android: logger: module_exit implementation

2012-11-27T00:01:30Z

This patch creates the module_exit for the android logger so that it can be loaded and unloaded as a module. The android logger is already declared as a tristate in the Kconfig but the module_exit function was missing. device_initcall works also with modprobe since include/linux/init.h: #define module_init(x) __initcall(x); ... #define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn) Tested against f4a75d2eb7b1e2206094b901be09adb31ba63681 Linux 3.7-rc6 Signed-off-by: Luca Clementi Cc: Brian Swetland Cc: Robert Love Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

pidns: Use task_active_pid_ns where appropriate

2012-11-19T13:59:09Z

The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of cache line misses with the practical difference that ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life. Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace. So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can. In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

Merge 3.7-rc6 into staging-next

2012-11-17T02:24:22Z

Revert "Staging: Android alarm: IOCTL command encoding fix"

2012-11-13T21:04:43Z

Commit 6bd4a5d96c08dc2380f8053b1bd4f879f55cd3c9 changed the ANDROID_ALARM_GET_TIME ioctls from IOW to IOR. While technically correct, the _IOC_DIR bits are ignored by alarm_ioctl, so the commit breaks a userspace ABI used by all existing Android devices for a purely cosmetic reason. Revert it.

Staging: android: binder: Allow using highmem for binder buffers

2012-10-22T20:23:19Z

The default kernel mapping for the pages allocated for the binder buffers is never used. Set the __GFP_HIGHMEM flag when allocating these pages so we don't needlessly use low memory pages that may be required elsewhere. Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
