Add support for matching by security label (e.g. SELinux context) of
the sender of an user-space audit record.
The audit filter code already allows user space to configure such
filters, but they were ignored during evaluation. This patch implements
evaluation of these filters.
For example, after application of this patch, PAM authentication logs
caused by cron can be disabled using
auditctl -a user,never -F subj_type=crond_t

Currently, text_poke_smp() passes a NULL as the third argument to
__stop_machine(), which will only run stop_machine_text_poke()
on 1 cpu. Change NULL -> cpu_online_mask, as stop_machine_text_poke()
is intended to be run on all cpus.
I actually didn't notice any problems with stop_machine_text_poke()
only being called on 1 cpu, but found this via code inspection.

Recent changes in s3c gpio break mini2440 board and may be others.
The problem is that mach-mini2440.c: mini2440_init()
(where we call s3c_gpio_setpull()) is called before s3c2440.c: s3c2440_init()
(where we initialize s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default.set_pull function pointer).
This causes dereferencing of NULL pointer at boot time and a kernel panic.

If the board has a debug uart the user is given a choice of which
uart to use. The user can also select NONE, which means not to use one.
In most of our header files when NONE is selected nothing is defined
for MSM_DEBUG_UART_PHYS or MSM_DEBUG_UART_BASE. This causes a compile
failure in debug-macro.S which expect something to be defined there.
Example of the failure,
arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o: In function `hexbuf':
linux-2.6/arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:186: undefined reference to `MSM_DEBUG_UART_PHYS'
linux-2.6/arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:186: undefined reference to `MSM_DEBUG_UART_BASE'
This fixes the compile failure by adding an ifdef to debug-macro.S
that removes all the debug uart code in the case of NONE.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Walker <dwalker@codeaurora.org>
Originally there was an ifdef case to handle when no debug uart
was selected. In commit 0ea1293009
that case was removed which causes the following build failure,
linux-2.6/arch/arm/kernel/debug.S: Assembler messages:

This is a partial revert to add back the case which was removed with
two caveats. First the API for the addruart macro was updated, and
the new addruart case now return 0xfff00000 so that a know IO mapping
is created instead of a random one.

I noticed two small issues in mac80211/debugfs_key.c::key_key_read while
reading through the code. Patch below.
The key_key_read() function returns ssize_t and the value that's actually
returned is the return value of simple_read_from_buffer() which also
returns ssize_t, so let's hold the return value in a ssize_t local
variable rather than a int one.
Also, memory is allocated dynamically with kmalloc() which can fail, but
the return value of kmalloc() is not checked, so we may end up operating
on a null pointer further on. So check for a NULL return and bail out with
-ENOMEM in that case.

Since MIPS modules' address space differs from the core kernel space, to access
the _mcount in the core kernel, the kernel functions in modules must use long
call (-mlong-calls): load the _mcount address into one register and jump to the
address stored by the register:
c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0 <--------> b label
c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0
10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
14: 03e0082d move at,ra
18: 0060f809 jalr v1
label:
In the old Perl version of recordmcount, we only need to record the position of
the 1st R_MIPS_HI16 type of _mcount, and later, in ftrace_make_nop(), replace
the instruction in this position by a "b label" and in ftrace_make_call(),
replace it back.
But, the default C version of recordmcount records all of the _mcount symbols,
so, we must filter the 2nd _mcount like the Perl version of recordmcount does.
The C version of recordmcount copes with the symbols before they are linked, So
It doesn't know the type of the symbols and therefore can not filter the
symbols as the Perl version of recordmcount does. But as we can see above, the
2nd _mcount symbols of the long call alawys follows the 1st _mcount symbol of
the same long call, which means the offset from the 1st to the 2nd is fixed, it
is 0x10-0xc = 4 here, 4 is the length of the 1st load instruciton, for MIPS has
fixed length of instructions, this offset is always 4.
And as we know, the _mcount is inserted into the entry of every kernel
function, the offset between the other _mcount's is expected to be always
bigger than 4. So, to filter the 2ns _mcount symbol of the long call, we can
simply check the offset between two _mcount symbols, If it is 4, then, filter
the 2nd _mcount symbol.
To avoid touching too much code, an 'empty' function fn_is_fake_mcount() is
added for all of the archs, and the specific archs can override it via chaning
the function pointer: is_fake_mcount in do_file() with the e_machine. e.g. This
patch adds MIPS_is_fake_mcount() to override the default fn_is_fake_mcount()
pointed by is_fake_mcount.
This fn_is_fake_mcount() checks if the _mcount symbol is fake, e.g. the 2nd
_mcount symbol of the long call is fake, for there are 2 _mcount symbols mapped
to one real mcount call, so, one of them is fake and must be filtered.
This fn_is_fake_mcount() is called in sift_rel_mcount() after finding the
_mcount symbols and before adding the _mcount symbol into mrelp, so, it can
prevent the fake mcount symbol going into the last __mcount_loc table.

hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.
The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.
For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.
__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.
With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

Some MIPS32R1 processors implement UserLocal (RDHWR $29) to accelerate
programs that make extensive use of thread-local storage. Therefore,
setting up the HWRENA register should not depend on cpu_has_mips_r2.

On many of the newer MIPS32 cores, CP0 CONFIG2 bit 12 (L2B) indicates
that the L2 cache is disabled and therefore Linux should not attempt
to use it.
[Ralf: Moved the code added by Kevin's original patch into a separate
function that can easily be replaced for platforms that need more a
different probe.]

BMIPS processor cores are used in 50+ different chipsets spread across
5+ product lines. In many cases the chipsets do not share the same
peripheral register layouts, the same register blocks, the same
interrupt controllers, the same memory maps, or much of anything else.
But, across radically different SoCs that share nothing more than the
same BMIPS CPU, a few things are still mostly constant:
SMP operations
Access to performance counters
DMA cache coherency quirks
Cache and memory bus configuration
So, it makes sense to treat each BMIPS processor type as a generic
"building block," rather than tying it to a specific SoC. This makes it
easier to support a large number of BMIPS-based chipsets without
unnecessary duplication of code, and provides the infrastructure needed
to support BMIPS-proprietary features.

This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton.
Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for
the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as
R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables
need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU
than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files
perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created.
Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect
performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware
events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU.
This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to
use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the
comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details.
Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the
kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this
CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them.
To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool
"perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html
You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile
for your libs, includes, etc.
In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading
CPUs, you may take a look at:
