2012-07-17pstore: Introduce write_buf backend callbackAnton Vorontsov
For function tracing we need to stop using pstore.buf directly, since in a tracing callback we can't use spinlocks, and thus we can't safely use the global buffer. With write_buf callback, backends no longer need to access pstore.buf directly, and thus we can pass any buffers (e.g. allocated on stack).

2012-07-17pstore/ram: Make ECC size configurableAnton Vorontsov
This is now pretty straightforward: instead of using bool, just pass an integer. For backwards compatibility ramoops.ecc=1 means 16 bytes ECC (using 1 byte for ECC isn't much of use anyway).

2012-07-17pstore/ram_core: Get rid of prz->ecc_symsize and prz->ecc_polyAnton Vorontsov
The struct members were never used anywhere outside of persistent_ram_init_ecc(), so there's actually no need for them to be in the struct. If we ever want to make polynomial or symbol size configurable, it would make more sense to just pass initialized rs_decoder to the persistent_ram init functions.

2012-07-17cfg80211: add cellular base station regulatory hint supportLuis R. Rodriguez
Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about where they think we are. This can be done for example on a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the user or coming from a cellular base station. This option is only available when you enable CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS.

2012-07-16NFS: Treat NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE as a fatal errorChuck Lever
For NFSv4 minor version 0, currently the cl_id_uniquifier allows the Linux client to generate a unique nfs_client_id4 string whenever a server replies with NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE. This implementation seems to be based on a flawed reading of RFC 3530. NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE actually means that the client has presented this nfs_client_id4 string with a different principal at some time in the past, and that lease is still in use on the server. For a Linux client this might be rather difficult to achieve: the authentication flavor is named right in the nfs_client_id4.id string. If we change flavors, we change strings automatically. So, practically speaking, NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE means there is some other client using our string. There is not much that can be done to recover automatically. Let's make it a permanent error. Remove the recovery logic in nfs4_proc_setclientid(), and remove the cl_id_uniquifier field from the nfs_client data structure. And, remove the authentication flavor from the nfs_client_id4 string. Keeping the authentication flavor in the nfs_client_id4.id string means that we could have a separate lease for each authentication flavor used by mounts on the client. But we want just one lease for all the mounts on this client. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2012-07-16SUNRPC: Add rpcauth_list_flavors()Chuck Lever
The gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() function provides a list of currently registered GSS pseudoflavors. This list does not include any non-GSS flavors that have been registered with the RPC client. nfs4_find_root_sec() currently adds these extra flavors by hand. Instead, nfs4_find_root_sec() should be looking at the set of flavors that have been explicitly registered via rpcauth_register(). And, other areas of code will soon need the same kind of list that contains all flavors the kernel currently knows about (see below). Rather than cloning the open-coded logic in nfs4_find_root_sec() to those new places, introduce a generic RPC function that generates a full list of registered auth flavors and pseudoflavors. A new rpc_authops method is added that lists a flavor's pseudoflavors, if it has any. I encountered an interesting module loader loop when I tried to get the RPC client to invoke gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() by name. This patch is a pre-requisite for server trunking discovery, and a pre-requisite for fixing up the in-kernel mount client to do better automatic security flavor selection.

2012-07-14random: add new get_random_bytes_arch() functionTheodore Ts'o
Create a new function, get_random_bytes_arch() which will use the architecture-specific hardware random number generator if it is present. Change get_random_bytes() to not use the HW RNG, even if it is avaiable. The reason for this is that the hw random number generator is fast (if it is present), but it requires that we trust the hardware manufacturer to have not put in a back door. (For example, an increasing counter encrypted by an AES key known to the NSA.) It's unlikely that Intel (for example) was paid off by the US Government to do this, but it's impossible for them to prove otherwise --- especially since Bull Mountain is documented to use AES as a whitener. Hence, the output of an evil, trojan-horse version of RDRAND is statistically indistinguishable from an RDRAND implemented to the specifications claimed by Intel. Short of using a tunnelling electronic microscope to reverse engineer an Ivy Bridge chip and disassembling and analyzing the CPU microcode, there's no way for us to tell for sure. Since users of get_random_bytes() in the Linux kernel need to be able to support hardware systems where the HW RNG is not present, most time-sensitive users of this interface have already created their own cryptographic RNG interface which uses get_random_bytes() as a seed. So it's much better to use the HW RNG to improve the existing random number generator, by mixing in any entropy returned by the HW RNG into /dev/random's entropy pool, but to always _use_ /dev/random's entropy pool. This way we get almost of the benefits of the HW RNG without any potential liabilities. The only benefits we forgo is the speed/performance enhancements --- and generic kernel code can't depend on depend on get_random_bytes() having the speed of a HW RNG anyway. For those places that really want access to the arch-specific HW RNG, if it is available, we provide get_random_bytes_arch(). Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2012-07-14random: create add_device_randomness() interfaceLinus Torvalds
Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).

2012-07-14random: make 'add_interrupt_randomness()' do something saneTheodore Ts'o
We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy from a somewhat externally controllable source. This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first. During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu pool. Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool. This assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as possible. (Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by tytso.)
