516dffdcd8 [PATCH] Fix get_unmapped_area and fsync for hugetlb shm segments
This patch provides the following hugetlb-related fixes to the recent stacked
shm files changes:
 - Update is_file_hugepages() so it will reconize hugetlb shm segments.
 - get_unmapped_area must be called with the nested file struct to handle
   the sfd->file->f_ops->get_unmapped_area == NULL case.
 - The fsync f_op must be wrapped since it is specified in the hugetlbfs
   f_ops.

This is based on proposed fixes from Eric Biederman that were debugged and
tested by me.  Without it, attempting to use hugetlb shared memory segments
on powerpc (and likely ia64) will kill your box.

bc56bba8f3 [PATCH] shm: make sysv ipc shared memory use stacked files
The current ipc shared memory code runs into several problems because it
does not quite use files like the rest of the kernel.  With the option of
backing ipc shared memory with either hugetlbfs or ordinary shared memory
the problems got worse.  With the added support for ipc namespaces things
behaved so unexpected that we now have several bad namespace reference
counting bugs when using what appears at first glance to be a reasonable
idiom.

So to attack these problems and hopefully make the code more maintainable
this patch simply uses the files provided by other parts of the kernel and
builds it's own files out of them.  The shm files are allocated in do_shmat
and freed when their reference count drops to zero with their last unmap.
The file and vm operations that we don't want to implement or we don't
implement completely we just delegate to the operations of our backing
file.

This means that we now get an accurate shm_nattch count for we have a
hugetlbfs inode for backing store, and the shm accounting of last attach
and last detach time work as well.

This means that getting a reference to the ipc namespace when we create the
file and dropping the referenece in the release method is now safe and
correct.

This means we no longer need a special case for clearing VM_MAYWRITE
as our file descriptor now only has write permissions when we have
requested write access when calling shmat.  Although VM_SHARED is now
cleared as well which I believe is harmless and is mostly likely a
minor bug fix.

By using the same set of operations for both the hugetlb case and regular
shared memory case shmdt is not simplified and made slightly more correct
as now the test "vma->vm_ops == &shm_vm_ops" is 100% accurate in spotting
all shared memory regions generated from sysvipc shared memory.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential

c7e12b8389 [PATCH] Fix ipc entries removal
Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing.

1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated
   with ipc_init_ids().

2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref()
   may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in
   ipc_init_ids().
   This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with
   them this situation becomes possible.

Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.

ac03221a4f [PATCH] update of IPC audit record cleanup
The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
records as described in:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.

To summarize, I made the following changes:

1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
   record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
   This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl().  I could simplify the
   code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
   that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
   without an IPC record and that seemed odd.

2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
   compatibility question.

3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record.  It wasn't being
   set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
   information isn't available.  If we want the information in the IPC
   record, more extensive changes will be necessary.  Since it only
   applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
   doesn't seem worth it.

4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record.  This means that
   the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.

5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names.  Replaced iuid and
   igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.

I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box.  I believe it
applies cleanly on the latest kernel.

073115d6b2 [PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing
1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
functions:
        - audit_ipc_obj()
        - audit_ipc_set_perm()

There's a key shift here...  The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object.  This
audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places.  Most notably, it
is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
ipc code permforming a MAC check.  Additionally there are several places
where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
ipcperms() call.  In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.

The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
the ipc object changes.  In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
(and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
each instance).

2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type.  This allows
for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
object and permissions changes.  Note that the same struct
audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message.  Finally,
the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
aux messages of this new type.  No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

b78b6af66a [PATCH] shmat: stop mprotect from giving write permission to a readonly attachment (CVE-2006-1524)
I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.

SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.

I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.

This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.

However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.

I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
 But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none.  Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.

But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

df1e2fb540 [PATCH] shmdt: check address alignment
SUSv3 says the shmdt() function shall fail with EINVAL if the value of
shmaddr is not the data segment start address of a shared memory segment:
our sys_shmdt needs to reject a shmaddr which is not page-aligned.

Does it have the potential to break existing apps?

Hugh says

  "sys_shmdt() just does the wrong (unexpected) thing with a misaligned
  address: it'll fail on what you might expect it to succeed on, and only
  succeed on what it should definitely fail on.

  "That is, I think it behaves as if shmaddr gets rounded up, when the only
  understandable behaviour would be if it rounded it down.

  "Which does mean you'd have to be devious to see anything but EINVAL from
  a misaligned shmaddr there, so it's not terribly important."

This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context
information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and
tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the
item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver
of an action.

These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the
appropriate record in the audit code.

This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled

8e36709d8c [PATCH] shmdt cannot detach not-alined shm segment cleanly.
sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas.  (This
can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().)

This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last
segment cannot be detached.  It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt()

	(vma->vm_end - addr) < size
		addr == return address of shmat()
		size == shmsize, argments to shmget()

size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma->vm_end,
which is aligned.

b0e15190ea [PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMU
The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.

The following changes are made:

 (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
     allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
     code.

 (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
     the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
     attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.

 (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.
