Make ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER a real config variable

2014-09-13T18:14:53+00:00

It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
 that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.

This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.

NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong.  If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies.  This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.

This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

KEYS: Fix termination condition in assoc array garbage collection

2014-09-12T12:34:31+00:00

This fixes CVE-2014-3631.

It is possible for an associative array to end up with a shortcut node at the
root of the tree if there are more than fan-out leaves in the tree, but they
all crowd into the same slot in the lowest level (ie. they all have the same
first nibble of their index keys).

When assoc_array_gc() returns back up the tree after scanning some leaves, it
can fall off of the root and crash because it assumes that the back pointer
from a shortcut (after label ascend_old_tree) must point to a normal node -
which isn't true of a shortcut node at the root.

Should we find we're ascending rootwards over a shortcut, we should check to
see if the backpointer is zero - and if it is, we have completed the scan.

This particular bug cannot occur if the root node is not a shortcut - ie. if
you have fewer than 17 keys in a keyring or if you have at least two keys that
sit into separate slots (eg. a keyring and a non keyring).

This can be reproduced by:

	ring=`keyctl newring bar @s`
	for ((i=1; i<=18; i++)); do last_key=`keyctl newring foo$i $ring`; done
	keyctl timeout $last_key 2

Doing this:

	echo 3 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay

first will speed things up.

If we do fall off of the top of the tree, we get the following oops:

KEYS: Fix use-after-free in assoc_array_gc()

2014-09-03T00:30:22+00:00

An edit script should be considered inaccessible by a function once it has
called assoc_array_apply_edit() or assoc_array_cancel_edit().

However, assoc_array_gc() is accessing the edit script just after the
gc_complete: label.

lib: turn CONFIG_STACKTRACE into an actual option.

2014-08-29T23:28:16+00:00

I was puzzled why /proc/$$/stack had disappeared, until I figured out I
had disabled the last debug option that did a 'select STACKTRACE'.  This
patch makes the option show up at config time, so it can be enabled
without enabling any of the more heavyweight debug options.

rhashtable: unexport and make rht_obj() static

2014-08-14T22:13:39+00:00

No need to export rht_obj(), all inner to outer object translations
occur internally. It was intended to be used with rht_for_each() which
now primarily serves as the iterator for rhashtable_remove_pprev() to
effectively flush and free the full table.
