userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basis

2015-01-07T16:55:14+00:00

commit 9cc46516ddf497ea16e8d7cb986ae03a0f6b92f8 upstream.

- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc//setgroups

  A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the
  current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the
  future in this user namespace.

  A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled.

- Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from
  their parents.

- A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do
  not allow checking the permissions at open time.

- Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map
  for the user namespace is set.

  This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace
  level will never remove the ability to call setgroups
  from a process that already has that ability.

  A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by
  creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling
  setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled.
  Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this
  is a noop.  Prodcess with privilege become processes without
  privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path
  to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call
  setgroups.  So this remains within the bounds of what is possible
  without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace.

fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_files

2014-03-22T21:01:59+00:00

commit 70335abb2689c8cd5df91bf2d95a65649addf50b upstream.

The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0
and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized.

By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have
already be gone.  In this case the path is not initialized but the
return value is still 0.  This results in 'general protection fault'
inside d_path().

Steps to reproduce:

  CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y

    fd = open(...);
    while (1) {
        mmap(fd, ...);
        munmap(fd, ...);
    }

  ls -la /proc/$PID/map_files

posix-timers: Show clock ID in proc file

2013-05-28T09:41:14+00:00

Expand information about posix-timers in /proc//timers by adding
info about clock, with which the timer was created. I.e. in the forth
line of timer info after "notify:" line go "ClockID: ".

2013-05-02T00:51:54+00:00

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

7kloc removed.
