This patch changes an error message printk'd by security_compute_sid to use
the audit framework instead.  These errors reflect situations where a
security transition would normally occur due to policy, but the resulting
security context is not valid.  The patch also changes the code to always
call the audit framework rather than only doing so when permissive as this
was causing problems with testing policy, and does some code cleanup.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>

This patch makes the IPv6 code work with the audit framework, following the
merge of both.

From: Rik Faith <faith@redhat.com>

This patch provides a low-overhead system-call auditing framework for Linux
that is usable by LSM components (e.g., SELinux).  This is an update of the
patch discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107815888100001&r=1&w=2

In brief, it provides for netlink-based logging of audit records that have
been generated in other parts of the kernel (e.g., SELinux) as well as the
ability to audit system calls, either independently (using simple
filtering) or as a compliment to the audit record that another part of the
kernel generated.

The main goals were to provide system call auditing with 1) as low overhead
as possible, and 2) without duplicating functionality that is already
provided by SELinux (and/or other security infrastructures).  This
framework will work "stand-alone", but is not designed to provide, e.g.,
CAPP functionality without another security component in place.

This updated patch includes changes from feedback I have received,
including the ability to compile without CONFIG_NET (and better use of
tabs, so use -w if you diff against the older patch).

Please see http://people.redhat.com/faith/audit/ for an early example
user-space client (auditd-0.4.tar.gz) and instructions on how to try it.

My future intentions at the kernel level include improving filtering (e.g.,
syscall personality/exit codes) and syscall support for more architectures.
 First, though, I'm going to work on documentation, a (real) audit daemon,
and patches for other user-space tools so that people can play with the
framework and understand how it can be used with and without SELinux.


Update:

Light-weight Auditing Framework receive filter fixes
From: Rik Faith <faith@redhat.com>

Since audit_receive_filter() is only called with audit_netlink_sem held, it
cannot race with either audit_del_rule() or audit_add_rule(), so the
list_for_each_entry_rcu()s may be replaced by list_for_each_entry()s, and
the rcu_read_{un,}lock()s removed.  A fix for this is part of the attached
patch.

Other features of the attached patch are:

1) generalized the ability to test for inequality

2) added syscall exit status reporting and testing

3) added ability to report and test first 4 syscall arguments (this adds
   a large amount of flexibility for little cost; not implemented or tested
   on ppc64)

4) added ability to report and test personality

This patch removes a harmless duplicate assignment from the IPv6 code.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>

The patch below adds explicit IPv6 support to SELinux.

Brief description of changes:

o IPv6 networking is now subject to the same controls as IPv4 (in
  addition to the generic socket permissions which cover all protocols),
  namely: bind to local node address; bind to local port; send & receive
  TCP/UDP and raw IP packets based on local network interface and remote
  node address.

o Packet parsing has been extended to IPv6 packets for logging and
  control, and simplified for IPv4.

o Support for logging of IPv6 addresses has also been added.

o The kernel policy database code has been modified to support IPv6, and
  reworked to provide generic security policy version handling so that
  older policy versions will still work, making upgrading simpler.

Corresponding userspace patches are available at
<http://people.redhat.com/jmorris/selinux/ipv6/>, although current
userspace tools will continue to function normally (but without explicit
IPv6 support).

For more details at the security management level, see
<http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=108068187630948&w=2>

This code has been under testing and review for several weeks.

Fix reiserfs_writepage so it doesn't race with data=ordered writes.  This
still has a pending fix to redirty the page when it finds a locked buffer. 
Waiting for Andrew to finish sorting that out on ext3 first.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

Repacking a tail might leave a journal handle attached to an unmapped buffer.
 If that buffer gets dirtied again (via mmap for example), the reiserfs
data=ordered code might try to write the dirty unmapped buffer to disk.

The fix is to make sure we remove the journal handle when we unmap buffers.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

reiserfs data=ordered support.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

reiserfs logging rework, making things much faster for small transactions. 
metadata buffers are dirtied when they are safe to write, so normal kernel
mechanisms can contribute to log cleaning.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

reiserfs cleanup, get rid of old debugging code.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com>

reiserfs support for nested transactions.  This originally came from Peter
Braam for 2.4.x and was ported forward by Jeff Mahoney.

ext3 transaction batching has been ineffective since the scheduler changes
forced us to replace the yield() with a schedule().

Using schedule_timeout(1) fixes it up again.  Benchmarking is positive with
wither a 1 or 10 millisecond delay in there, so there appears to be no need
to play around with HZ.

From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de>

A patch to parse the elf binaries for a PT_GNU_STACK section to set the stack
non-executable if possible.  Most parts have been shamelessly stolen from
Ingo Molnar's more ambitious stackshield
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/exec-shield-2.6.4-C9

The toolchain has meanwhile support for marking the binaries with a
PT_GNU_STACK section wwithout x bit as needed.

If no such section is found, we leave the stack to whatever the arch defaults
to.  If there is one, we explicitly disabled the VM_EXEC bit if no x bit is
found, otherwise explicitly enable.

The attached patch fixes a problem with the 32bit statfs call on NFS file
systems.  Some NFS servers return a value of -1 for the f_files and f_ffree.
The current code would think this is a 64bit value that cannot be converted
to 32bits.  Consequently, the system call would always fail.

The patch adds two special if() to detect a value of -1 for f_files and
f_ffree.

This is a update for the cx88 driver.  There are *lots* of changes:

This patch updates the bttv driver.  Changes:

  (1) several card-specific tweaks.
  (2) make software vs. hardware i2c configurable per TV card.
  (3) reinitialize image parameters after chip reset.
  (4) make bttv quite by default on frame drops.
  (5) new insmod option: "debug_latency=1" to enable frame drop
      debug messages.

bttv is quite sensitive to irq latencies, especially when capturing both
video and vbi.  There are several reports about problems due to this, I don't
see that on my machines through.  (5) dumps a stracktrace if the driver
thinks the frame drop is is caused by high latencies as experiment, lets see
whenever that helps ...
