userns: Unbreak the unprivileged remount tests

2015-01-08T18:00:50+00:00

commit db86da7cb76f797a1a8b445166a15cb922c6ff85 upstream.

A security fix in caused the way the unprivileged remount tests were
using user namespaces to break.  Tweak the way user namespaces are
being used so the test works again.

mnt: Update unprivileged remount test

2015-01-08T18:00:49+00:00

commit 4a44a19b470a886997d6647a77bb3e38dcbfa8c5 upstream.

- MNT_NODEV should be irrelevant except when reading back mount flags,
  no longer specify MNT_NODEV on remount.

- Test MNT_NODEV on devpts where it is meaningful even for unprivileged mounts.

- Add a test to verify that remount of a prexisting mount with the same flags
  is allowed and does not change those flags.

- Cleanup up the definitions of MS_REC, MS_RELATIME, MS_STRICTATIME that are used
  when the code is built in an environment without them.

- Correct the test error messages when tests fail.  There were not 5 tests
  that tested MS_RELATIME.

mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty

2014-09-17T16:19:22+00:00

commit db181ce011e3c033328608299cd6fac06ea50130 upstream.

Kenton Varda  discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
to the remount a read-only mount read-write.

Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed
nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared.  It was also discovered that
the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed.

The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using
default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed.

To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged
remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times.

tools/testing/selftests/ipc/msgque.c: handle msgget failure return correctly

2014-03-11T00:26:21+00:00

A failed msgget causes the test to return an uninitialised value in ret.
Assign ret to -errno on error exit.

test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation

2014-01-24T00:36:57+00:00

To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user
boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or
get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them
behave unexpectedly.

Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81d2 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
again, for any architecture.

Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

Merge tag 'ktest-v3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest

Pull ktest updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Here's some basic updates to ktest.pl.  They include:

   - add config to modify the signal to terminate console
   - update to documentation (missing some config options)
   - add KERNEL_VERSION variable to use for other configs
   - add '=~' to let configs eval other configs
   - add BISECT_TRIES to run multiple tests per git bisect good"

* tag 'ktest-v3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest:
  ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test
  ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file
  ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}
  ktest: Add documentation of CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL
  ktest: Make the signal to terminate the console configurable

ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test

2014-01-19T00:52:13+00:00

For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be
useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers
the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config
option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a
bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this
to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure
that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success.

Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds,
it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat
reliable.

You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.

ktest: Add eval '=~' command to modify variables in config file

2013-12-12T02:16:59+00:00

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
able to use parts of it for other variables.

For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
your warnings file with like this:

  WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}

But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
With the eval command we can, by adding:

  WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/

Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.

ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}

2013-12-11T20:53:31+00:00

Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called
${KERNEL_VERSION}. This will embed the current kernel version into
the variable. For example:

WARNINGS_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-${KERNEL_VERSION}

If the current version is v3.8 then the WARNINGS_FILE will become

  ${OUTPUT_DIR}/warnings-v3.8
