net: Make setsockopt() optlen be unsigned.

2009-09-30T23:12:20Z

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial) checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in each and every implementation. Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback from Linus Torvalds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add explicit bound checks in net/socket.c

2009-09-28T19:57:44Z

The sys_socketcall() function has a very clever system for the copy size of its arguments. Unfortunately, gcc cannot deal with this in terms of proving that the copy_from_user() is then always in bounds. This is the last (well 9th of this series, but last in the kernel) such case around. With this patch, we can turn on code to make having the boundary provably right for the whole kernel, and detect introduction of new security accidents of this type early on.

[PATCH] net: kmemcheck annotation in struct socket

2009-09-15T09:39:20Z

struct socket has a 16 bit hole that triggers kmemcheck warnings. As suggested by Ingo, use kmemcheck annotations Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Make sock_sendpage() use kernel_sendpage()

2009-08-13T17:57:26Z

kernel_sendpage() does the proper default case handling for when the socket doesn't have a native sendpage implementation. Now, arguably this might be something that we could instead solve by just specifying that all protocols should do it themselves at the protocol level, but we really only care about the common protocols. Does anybody really care about sendpage on something like Appletalk? Not likely. Acked-by: David S.

socket: use percpu_add() while updating sockets_in_use

2009-04-04T23:41:09Z

sock_alloc() currently uses following code to update sockets_in_use get_cpu_var(sockets_in_use)++; put_cpu_var(sockets_in_use); This translates to : c0436274: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax c0436279: e8 42 40 df ff call c022a2c0 c043627e: bb 20 4f 6a c0 mov $0xc06a4f20,%ebx c0436283: e8 18 ca f0 ff call c0342ca0 c0436288: 03 1c 85 60 4a 65 c0 add -0x3f9ab5a0(,%eax,4),%ebx c043628f: ff 03 incl (%ebx) c0436291: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax c0436296: e8 75 3f df ff call c022a210 c043629b: 89 e0 mov %esp,%eax c043629d: 25 00 e0 ff ff and $0xffffe000,%eax c04362a2: f6 40 08 08 testb $0x8,0x8(%eax) c04362a6: 75 07 jne c04362af c04362a8: 8d 46 d8 lea -0x28(%esi),%eax c04362ab: 5b pop %ebx c04362ac: 5e pop %esi c04362ad: c9 leave c04362ae: c3 ret c04362af: e8 cc 5d 09 00 call c04cc080 c04362b4: 8d 74 26 00 lea 0x0(%esi,%eiz,1),%esi c04362b8: eb ee jmp c04362a8 While percpu_add(sockets_in_use, 1) translates to a single instruction : c0436275: 64 83 05 20 5f 6a c0 addl $0x1,%fs:0xc06a5f20 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

lsm: Remove the socket_post_accept() hook

2009-03-28T04:01:37Z

The socket_post_accept() hook is not currently used by any in-tree modules and its existence continues to cause problems by confusing people about what can be safely accomplished using this hook. If a legitimate need for this hook arises in the future it can always be reintroduced. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore Signed-off-by: James Morris
