12 years agotcp: detect loss above high_seq in recovery
Yuchung Cheng [Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:42:21 +0000 (14:42 +0000)]
tcp: detect loss above high_seq in recovery

Correctly implement a loss detection heuristic: New sequences (above
high_seq) sent during the fast recovery are deemed lost when higher
sequences are SACKed.

Current code does not catch these losses, because tcp_mark_head_lost()
does not check packets beyond high_seq. The fix is straight-forward by
checking packets until the highest sacked packet. In addition, all the
FLAG_DATA_LOST logic are in-effective and redundant and can be removed.

Update the loss heuristic comments. The algorithm above is documented
as heuristic B, but it is redundant too because heuristic A already
covers B.

Note that this change only marks some forward-retransmitted packets LOST.
It does NOT forbid TCP performing further CWR on new losses. A potential
follow-up patch under preparation is to perform another CWR on "new"
losses such as
1) sequence above high_seq is lost (by resetting high_seq to snd_nxt)
2) retransmission is lost.

tcp: fix undo after RTO for CUBIC

This patch fixes CUBIC so that cwnd reductions made during RTOs can be
undone (just as they already can be undone when using the default/Reno
behavior).

When undoing cwnd reductions, BIC-derived congestion control modules
were restoring the cwnd from last_max_cwnd. There were two problems
with using last_max_cwnd to restore a cwnd during undo:

(a) last_max_cwnd was set to 0 on state transitions into TCP_CA_Loss
(by calling the module's reset() functions), so cwnd reductions from
RTOs could not be undone.

(b) when fast_covergence is enabled (which it is by default)
last_max_cwnd does not actually hold the value of snd_cwnd before the
loss; instead, it holds a scaled-down version of snd_cwnd.

This patch makes the following changes:

(1) upon undo, revert snd_cwnd to ca->loss_cwnd, which is already, as
the existing comment notes, the "congestion window at last loss"

(2) stop forgetting ca->loss_cwnd on TCP_CA_Loss events

mac80211: fix work removal on deauth request

When deauth is requested while an auth or assoc
work item is in progress, we currently delete it
without regard for any state it might need to
clean up. Fix it by cleaning up for those items.

In the case Pontus found, the problem manifested
itself as such:

authenticate with 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b (try 1)
authenticated
failed to insert Dummy STA entry for the AP (error -17)
deauthenticating from 00:23:69:aa:dd:7b by local choice (reason=2)

It could also happen differently if the driver
uses the tx_sync callback.

We can't just call the ->done() method of the work
items because that will lock up due to the locking
in cfg80211. This fix isn't very clean, but that
seems acceptable since I have patches pending to
remove this code completely.

tg3: Fix single-vector MSI-X code

Kdump kernels leave MSI-X interrupts (as setup by the crashed kernel)
enabled.  However, kdump only enables one CPU in the new environment,
thus causing tg3 to abort MSI-X setup.  When the driver attempts to
enable INTA or MSI interrupt modes on a kdump kernel, interrupt
delivery fails.

This patch attempts to workaround the problem by forcing the driver
to enable a single MSI-X interrupt.  In such a configuration, the
device's multivector interrupt mode must be disabled.

robust, and it also doesn't match the permission checking of any of the
other related files.

This changes it to do the permission checks at open time, and instead of
tracking the process, it tracks the VM at the time of the open.  That
simplifies the code a lot, but does mean that if you hold the file
descriptor open over an execve(), you'll continue to read from the _old_
VM.

That is different from our previous behavior, but much simpler.  If
somebody actually finds a load where this matters, we'll need to revert
this commit.

I suspect that nobody will ever notice - because the process mapping
addresses will also have changed as part of the execve.  So you cannot
actually usefully access the fd across a VM change simply because all

Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.

Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,

after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have
to restart sshd.  Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which
logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid.

Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel
work the way it should.  With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed
to restart services directly.  The system will restart the service for
them.  Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and
sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions.

If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting
himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his

Eric Paris [Tue, 3 Jan 2012 19:23:06 +0000 (14:23 -0500)]
Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h

The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.

We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.

The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.

In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].

For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3].  regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

The audit system has the ability to filter on the major and minor number of

/dev/sda1 has major,minor 8,1 and that we mount /dev/sda1 on /boot.  Now lets
say we add a watch with a filter on 8,1.  If we proceed to open an inode
inside /boot, such as /vboot/vmlinuz, we will match the major,minor filter.

Lets instead assume that one were to use a tool like debugfs and were to
open /dev/sda1 directly and to modify it's contents.  We might hope that
this would also be logged, but it isn't.  The rules will check the
major,minor of the device containing /dev/sda1.  In other words the rule
would match on the major/minor of the tmpfs mounted at /dev.

I believe these rules should trigger on either device.  The man page is
devoid of useful information about the intended semantics.  It only seems
logical that if you want to know everything that happened on a major,minor
