Thomas Gleixner 4699923861 genirq: Consolidate startup/shutdown of interrupts
Aside of duplicated code some of the startup/shutdown sites do not
handle the MASKED/DISABLED flags and the depth field at all. Move that
to a helper function and take care of it there.

Thomas Gleixner 3b56f0585f genirq: Remove bogus conditional
The if (chip->irq_shutdown) check will always evaluate to true, as we
fill in chip->irq_shutdown with default_shutdown in
irq_chip_set_defaults() if the chip does not provide its own function.

Thomas Gleixner fe200ae48e genirq: Mark polled irqs and defer the real handler
With the chip.end() function gone we might run into a situation where
a poll call runs and the real interrupt comes in, sees IRQ_INPROGRESS
and disables the line. That might be a perfect working one, which will
then be masked forever.

So mark them polled while the poll runs. When the real handler sees
IRQ_INPROGRESS it checks the poll flag and waits for the polling to
complete. Add the necessary amount of sanity checks to it to avoid
deadlocks.

Thomas Gleixner c7259cd7af genirq: Do not poll disabled, percpu and timer interrupts
There is no point in polling disabled lines.

percpu does not make sense at all because we only poll on the cpu
we're currently running on. Also polling per_cpu interrupts is racy as
hell. The handler runs without locking so we might get a huge
surprise.

If the timer interrupt needs polling, then we wont get there anyway.

Thomas Gleixner 1082687e8d genirq: Plug race in report_bad_irq()
We cannot walk the action chain unlocked. Even if IRQ_INPROGRESS is
set an action can be removed and we follow a null pointer. It's safe
to take the lock there, because the code which removes the action will
call synchronize_irq() which waits unlocked for IRQ_INPROGRESS going
away.

Thomas Gleixner 3b8249e759 genirq: Do not copy affinity before set
While rumaging through arch code I found that there are a few
workarounds which deal with the fact that the initial affinity setting
from request_irq() copies the mask into irq_data->affinity before the
chip code is called. In the normal path we unconditionally copy the
mask when the chip code returns 0.

Copy after the code is called and add a return code
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY for the chip functions, which prevents the
copy. That way we see the real mask when the chip function decided to
truncate it further as some arches do. IRQ_SET_MASK_OK is 0, which is
the current behaviour.

Thomas Gleixner e7bcecb7b1 genirq: Make nr_irqs runtime expandable
We face more and more the requirement to expand nr_irqs at
runtime. The reason are irq expanders which can not be detected in the
early boot stage. So we speculate nr_irqs to have enough room. Further
Xen needs extra irq numbers and we really want to avoid adding more
"detection" code into the early boot. There is no real good reason why
we need to limit nr_irqs at early boot.

Allow the allocation code to expand nr_irqs. We have already 8k extra
number space in the allocation bitmap, so lets use it.

Thomas Gleixner 6d83f94db9 genirq: Disable the SHIRQ_DEBUG call in request_threaded_irq for now
With CONFIG_SHIRQ_DEBUG=y we call a newly installed interrupt handler
in request_threaded_irq().

The original implementation (commit a304e1b8) called the handler
_BEFORE_ it was installed, but that caused problems with handlers
calling disable_irq_nosync(). See commit 377bf1e4.

It's braindead in the first place to call disable_irq_nosync in shared
handlers, but ....

Moving this call after we installed the handler looks innocent, but it
is very subtle broken on SMP.

Interrupt handlers rely on the fact, that the irq core prevents
reentrancy.

Now this debug call violates that promise because we run the handler
w/o the IRQ_INPROGRESS protection - which we cannot apply here because
that would result in a possibly forever masked interrupt line.

A concurrent real hardware interrupt on a different CPU results in
handler reentrancy and can lead to complete wreckage, which was
unfortunately observed in reality and took a fricking long time to
debug.

Leave the code here for now. We want this debug feature, but that's
not easy to fix. We really should get rid of those
disable_irq_nosync() abusers and remove that function completely.

Thomas Gleixner c1ee626428 genirq: Prevent access beyond allocated_irqs bitmap
Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out:

   I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using
   SPARSE_IRQ.  Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper
   limit for the number of IRQs.

   Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with
   IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core.

   In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine
   defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS".

   As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again
   causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be
   accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data.

The core code really misses a sanity check there.

This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places
data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected
platforms.

So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init()
and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be
backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known
problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as
well. Lots of churn.

A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and
avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when
an arch returns utter crap.

Tejun Heo 01e05e9a90 ptrace: use safer wake up on ptrace_detach()
The wake_up_process() call in ptrace_detach() is spurious and not
interlocked with the tracee state.  IOW, the tracee could be running or
sleeping in any place in the kernel by the time wake_up_process() is
called.  This can lead to the tracee waking up unexpectedly which can be
dangerous.

The wake_up is spurious and should be removed but for now reduce its
toxicity by only waking up if the tracee is in TRACED or STOPPED state.

This bug can possibly be used as an attack vector.  I don't think it
will take too much effort to come up with an attack which triggers oops
somewhere.  Most sleeps are wrapped in condition test loops and should
be safe but we have quite a number of places where sleep and wakeup
conditions are expected to be interlocked.  Although the window of
opportunity is tiny, ptrace can be used by non-privileged users and with
some loading the window can definitely be extended and exploited.

Tetsuo Handa fb2b2a1d37 CRED: Fix memory and refcount leaks upon security_prepare_creds() failure
In prepare_kernel_cred() since 2.6.29, put_cred(new) is called without
assigning new->usage when security_prepare_creds() returned an error.  As a
result, memory for new and refcount for new->{user,group_info,tgcred} are
leaked because put_cred(new) won't call __put_cred() unless old->usage == 1.

Fix these leaks by assigning new->usage (and new->subscribers which was added
in 2.6.32) before calling security_prepare_creds().

Tetsuo Handa 2edeaa34a6 CRED: Fix BUG() upon security_cred_alloc_blank() failure
In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with
new->security == NULL and new->magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank()
returns an error.  As a result, BUG() will be triggered if SELinux is enabled
or CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because
cred->magic == 0.  Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free()
because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred->security == NULL.  This does
not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free().

Fix these bugs by

(1) Set new->magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank().

(2) Handle null cred->security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free().

Peter Zijlstra f266a5110d lockdep, timer: Fix del_timer_sync() annotation
Calling local_bh_enable() will want to actually start processing
softirqs, which isn't a good idea since this can get called with IRQs
disabled.

Cure this by using _local_bh_enable() which doesn't start processing
softirqs, and use raw_local_irq_save() to avoid any softirqs from
happening without letting lockdep think IRQs are in fact disabled.
