scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances

2017-02-28T02:43:46+00:00

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

mm, x86: add support for PUD-sized transparent hugepages

2017-02-25T01:46:54+00:00

The current transparent hugepage code only supports PMDs.  This patch
adds support for transparent use of PUDs with DAX.  It does not include
support for anonymous pages.  x86 support code also added.

Most of this patch simply parallels the work that was done for huge
PMDs.  The only major difference is how the new ->pud_entry method in
mm_walk works.  The ->pmd_entry method replaces the ->pte_entry method,
whereas the ->pud_entry method works along with either ->pmd_entry or
->pte_entry.  The pagewalk code takes care of locking the PUD before
calling ->pud_walk, so handlers do not need to worry whether the PUD is
stable.

arch: add ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY config

2017-02-21T18:30:13+00:00

Currently, there's no good way to test for the presence of
set_memory_ro/rw/x/nx() helpers implemented by archs such as
x86, arm, arm64 and s390.

There's DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and DEBUG_RODATA, however both
don't really reflect that: set_memory_*() are also available
even when DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is turned off, and DEBUG_RODATA
is set by parisc, but doesn't implement above functions. Thus,
add ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY that is selected by mentioned archs,
where generic code can test against this.

This also allows later on to move DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX out of
the arch specific Kconfig to define it only once depending on
ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY.

2017-02-07T20:32:52+00:00

Both of these options are poorly named. The features they provide are
necessary for system security and should not be considered debug only.
Change the names to CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX to better describe what these options do.

net:add one common config ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER to support relax ordering

2017-01-18T21:33:00+00:00

Relax ordering(RO) is one feature of 82599 NIC, to enable this feature can
enhance the performance for some cpu architecure, such as SPARC and so on.
Currently it only supports one special cpu architecture(SPARC) in 82599
driver to enable RO feature, this is not very common for other cpu architecture
which really needs RO feature.
This patch add one common config CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER to set RO feature,
and should define CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER in sparc Kconfig firstly.

gcc-plugins: Add structleak for more stack initialization

2017-01-18T20:02:35+00:00

This plugin detects any structures that contain __user attributes and
makes sure it is being fully initialized so that a specific class of
information exposure is eliminated. (This plugin was originally designed
to block the exposure of siginfo in CVE-2013-2141.)

Ported from grsecurity/PaX. This version adds a verbose option to the
plugin and the Kconfig.

powerpc: ima: get the kexec buffer passed by the previous kernel

2016-12-20T17:48:40+00:00

Patch series "ima: carry the measurement list across kexec", v8.

The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot.  In order to validate a
TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg.  kexec -e), the IMA measurement
list of the running kernel must be saved and then restored on the
subsequent boot, possibly of a different architecture.

The existing securityfs binary_runtime_measurements file conveniently
provides a serialized format of the IMA measurement list.  This patch
set serializes the measurement list in this format and restores it.

Up to now, the binary_runtime_measurements was defined as architecture
native format.  The assumption being that userspace could and would
handle any architecture conversions.  With the ability of carrying the
measurement list across kexec, possibly from one architecture to a
different one, the per boot architecture information is lost and with it
the ability of recalculating the template digest hash.  To resolve this
problem, without breaking the existing ABI, this patch set introduces
the boot command line option "ima_canonical_fmt", which is arbitrarily
defined as little endian.

The need for this boot command line option will be limited to the
existing version 1 format of the binary_runtime_measurements.
Subsequent formats will be defined as canonical format (eg.  TPM 2.0
support for larger digests).

A simplified method of Thiago Bauermann's "kexec buffer handover" patch
series for carrying the IMA measurement list across kexec is included in
this patch set.  The simplified method requires all file measurements be
taken prior to executing the kexec load, as subsequent measurements will
not be carried across the kexec and restored.

This patch (of 10):

The IMA kexec buffer allows the currently running kernel to pass the
measurement list via a kexec segment to the kernel that will be kexec'd.
The second kernel can check whether the previous kernel sent the buffer
and retrieve it.

This is the architecture-specific part which enables IMA to receive the
measurement list passed by the previous kernel.  It will be used in the
next patch.

The change in machine_kexec_64.c is to factor out the logic of removing
an FDT memory reservation so that it can be used by remove_ima_buffer.
