randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

2017-06-30T19:00:51+00:00

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

procfs: use an enum for possible hidepid values

2017-02-25T01:46:56+00:00

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal
integers 0, 1, 2.  Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the
checking more expressive:

        0 → HIDEPID_OFF
        1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS
        2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE

This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface
remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.

No functional changes.

proc: Implement /proc/thread-self to point at the directory of the current thread

2014-08-04T17:07:11+00:00

/proc/thread-self is derived from /proc/self.  /proc/thread-self
points to the directory in proc containing information about the
current thread.

This funtionality has been missing for a long time, and is tricky to
implement in userspace as gettid() is not exported by glibc.  More
importantly this allows fixing defects in /proc/mounts and /proc/net
where in a threaded application today they wind up being empty files
when only the initial pthread has exited, causing problems for other
threads.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

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.

pid_namespace.c/.h: simplify defines

2013-05-01T00:04:07+00:00

Move BITS_PER_PAGE from pid_namespace.c to pid_namespace.h, since we can
simplify the define PID_MAP_ENTRIES by using the BITS_PER_PAGE.
