kernel/groups.c: remove return value of set_groups

2014-04-03T23:21:05+00:00

After commit 6307f8fee295 ("security: remove dead hook task_setgroups"),
set_groups will always return zero, so we could just remove return value
of set_groups.

This patch reduces code size, and simplfies code to use set_groups,
because we don't need to check its return value any more.

userns: Kill nsown_capable it makes the wrong thing easy

2013-08-31T06:44:11+00:00

nsown_capable is a special case of ns_capable essentially for just CAP_SETUID and
CAP_SETGID.  For the existing users it doesn't noticably simplify things and
from the suggested patches I have seen it encourages people to do the wrong
thing.  So remove nsown_capable.

userns: Convert in_group_p and in_egroup_p to use kgid_t

userns: Convert group_info values from gid_t to kgid_t.

2012-05-03T10:27:21+00:00

As a first step to converting struct cred to be all kuid_t and kgid_t
values convert the group values stored in group_info to always be
kgid_t values.   Unless user namespaces are used this change should
have no effect.

kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12+00:00

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include 
  +#include 

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

userns: user namespaces: convert several capable() calls

2011-03-24T02:47:08+00:00

CAP_IPC_OWNER and CAP_IPC_LOCK can be checked against current_user_ns(),
because the resource comes from current's own ipc namespace.

setuid/setgid are to uids in own namespace, so again checks can be against
current_user_ns().

Changelog:
	Jan 11: Use task_ns_capable() in place of sched_capable().
	Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank.
	Jan 11: Clarify (hopefully) some logic in futex and sched.c
	Feb 15: use ns_capable for ipc, not nsown_capable
	Feb 23: let copy_ipcs handle setting ipc_ns->user_ns
	Feb 23: pass ns down rather than taking it from current

kernel/groups.c: fix integer overflow in groups_search

2010-09-10T01:57:24+00:00

gid_t is a unsigned int.  If group_info contains a gid greater than
MAX_INT, groups_search() function may look on the wrong side of the search
tree.

This solves some unfair "permission denied" problems.

groups: move code to kernel/groups.c

2009-06-17T02:47:48+00:00

Move supplementary groups implementation to kernel/groups.c .
kernel/sys.c already accumulated quite a few random stuff.

Do strictly copy/paste + add required headers to compile.  Compile-tested
on many configs and archs.
