include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

security: fix error return path in ima_inode_alloc

ima: rename PATH_CHECK to FILE_CHECK

2010-02-07T08:06:23Z

With the movement of the ima hooks functions were renamed from *path* to *file* since they always deal with struct file. This patch renames some of the ima internal flags to make them consistent with the rest of the code. Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ima: rename ima_path_check to ima_file_check

2010-02-07T08:06:22Z

ima_path_check actually deals with files! call it ima_file_check instead. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Acked-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ima: initialize ima before inodes can be allocated

2010-02-07T08:06:22Z

ima wants to create an inode information struct (iint) when inodes are allocated. This means that at least the part of ima which does this allocation (the allocation is filled with information later) should before any inodes are created. To accomplish this we split the ima initialization routine placing the kmem cache allocator inside a security_initcall() function. Since this makes use of radix trees we also need to make sure that is initialized before security_initcall(). Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Acked-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fix ima breakage

2010-02-07T08:06:22Z

The "Untangling ima mess, part 2 with counters" patch messed up the counters. Based on conversations with Al Viro, this patch streamlines ima_path_check() by removing the counter maintaince. The counters are now updated independently, from measuring the file, in __dentry_open() and alloc_file() by calling ima_counts_get(). ima_path_check() is called from nfsd and do_filp_open(). It also did not measure all files that should have been measured. Reason: ima_path_check() got bogus value passed as mask. [AV: mea culpa] [AV: add missing nfsd bits] Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ima: limit imbalance msg

2009-12-16T17:16:48Z

Limit the number of imbalance messages to once per filesystem type instead of once per system boot. (it's actually slightly racy and could give you a couple per fs, but this isn't a real issue) Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Untangling ima mess, part 3: kill dead code in ima

2009-12-16T17:16:47Z

Kill the 'update' argument of ima_path_check(), kill dead code in ima. Current rules: ima counters are bumped at the same time when the file switches from put_filp() fodder to fput() one. Which happens exactly in two places - alloc_file() and __dentry_open(). Nothing else needs to do that at all. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ima: call ima_inode_free ima_inode_free

2009-12-16T17:16:46Z

ima_inode_free() has some funky #define just to confuse the crap out of me. void ima_iint_delete(struct inode *inode) and then things actually call ima_inode_free() and nothing calls ima_iint_delete(). Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Signed-off-by: Al Viro
