In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector interface needed a capability check and added the idiom cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise that netlink was asynchronous. In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling capable is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which would have made calling capable() impossible. In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability. Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems the right thing to do. The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..). To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). Acked-by: Serge E.

Pull virtio S3 support patches from Amit Shah: "Turns out S3 is not different from S4 for virtio devices: the device is assumed to be reset, so the host and guest state are to be assumed to be out of sync upon resume. We handle the S4 case with exactly the same scenario, so just point the suspend/resume routines to the freeze/restore ones. Once that is done, we also use the PM API's macro to initialise the sleep functions. A couple of cleanups are included: there's no need for special thaw processing in the balloon driver, so that's addressed in patches 1 and 2. Testing: both S3 and S4 support have been tested using these patches using a similar method used earlier during S4 patch development: a guest is started with virtio-blk as the only disk, a virtio network card, a virtio-serial port and a virtio balloon device. Ping from guest to host, dd /dev/zero to a file on the disk, and IO from the host on the virtio-serial port, all at once, while exercising S4 and S3 (separately) were tested. They all continue to work fine after resume. virtio balloon values too were tested by inflating and deflating the balloon."

Everything arriving into if (!dentry) will have need_reval = 1. Indeed, the only way to get there with need_reval reset to 0 would be via if (unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) goto unlazy; if (unlikely(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_OP_REVALIDATE)) { status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd); if (unlikely(status <= 0)) { if (status != -ECHILD) need_reval = 0; goto unlazy; ... unlazy: /* no assignments to dentry */ if (dentry && unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) { dput(dentry); dentry = NULL; } and if d_need_lookup() had already been false the first time around, it will remain false on the second call as well.

Since 3.2.12 and 3.3, some systems are failing to boot with a BUG_ON. Some other systems using the pata_jmicron driver fail to boot because no disks are detected. Passing pcie_aspm=force on the kernel command line works around it. The cause: commit 4949be16 ("PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when ASPM is disabled") changed the behaviour of pcie_aspm_sanity_check() to always return 0 if aspm is disabled, in order to avoid cases where we changed ASPM state on pre-PCIe 1.1 devices. This skipped the secondary function of pcie_aspm_sanity_check which was to avoid us enabling ASPM on devices that had non-PCIe children, causing trouble later on. Move the aspm_disabled check so we continue to honour that scenario.

Now that all the slow-path code is gone from these functions, we can inline them into the main caller - avc_has_perm_flags(). Now the compiler can see that 'avc' is allocated on the stack for this case, which helps register pressure a bit. It also actually shrinks the total stack frame, because the stack frame that avc_has_perm_flags() always needed (for that 'avc' allocation) is now sufficient for the inlined functions too. Inlining isn't bad - but mindless inlining of cold code (see the previous commit) is. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The selinux AVC paths remain some of the hottest (and deepest) codepaths at filename lookup time, and we make it worse by having the slow path cases take up I$ and stack space even when they don't trigger. Gcc tends to always want to inline functions that are just called once - never mind that this might make for slower and worse code in the caller. So this tries to improve on it a bit by making the slow-path cases explicitly separate functions that are marked noinline, causing gcc to at least no longer allocate stack space for them unless they are actually called. It also seems to help register allocation a tiny bit, since gcc now doesn't take the slow case code into account. Uninlining the slow path may also allow us to inline the remaining hot path into the one caller that actually matters: avc_has_perm_flags(). I'll have to look at that separately, but both avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_noaudit() are now small and lean enough that inlining them may make sense.
