Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
avc_audit()
audit_log_untrustedstring()
audit_log_n_untrustedstring()
audit_string_contains_control()
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

Makes the kernel audit subsystem collect information about the sending
process when that process sends SIGUSR2 to the userspace audit daemon.
SIGUSR2 is a new interesting signal to auditd telling auditd that it
should try to start logging to disk again and the error condition which
caused it to stop logging to disk (usually out of space) has been
rectified.

The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry
even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was
pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a
kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the
next page was unallocated.
The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there
is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.
Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.

We zero-fill them like we are supposed to, and that's all fine. It's
only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the
data that is supposed to be there.
Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using
separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we
actually filled from the filesystem.

This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU. The driver is
still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64.
All simple regression tests pass on IA64. Although features remain to be
added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the
kernel. Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the
GRU driver.
The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU
contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space. This memory
is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as
load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly
accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU
instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands.
The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to
processor TLBs. Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual
address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types
of changes are made to the process page tables. There are several MMUOPS
patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the
kernel. The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli.
This patch:
Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used
by the driver to manage the GRU.
