Hi James, would you mind taking the following into
security-testing?
The securebits are used by passing them to prctl with the
PR_{S,G}ET_SECUREBITS commands. But the defines must be
shifted to be used in prctl, which begs to be confused and
misused by userspace. So define some more convenient
values for userspace to specify. This way userspace does
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, SECBIT_NOROOT);
instead of
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 1 << SECURE_NOROOT);
(Thanks to Michael for the idea)
This patch also adds include/linux/securebits to the installed headers.
Then perhaps it can be included by glibc's sys/prctl.h.
Changelog:
Oct 29: Stephen Rothwell points out that issecure can
be under __KERNEL__.
Oct 14: (Suggestions by Michael Kerrisk):
1. spell out SETUID in SECBIT_NO_SETUID*
2. SECBIT_X_LOCKED does not imply SECBIT_X
3. add definitions for keepcaps
Oct 14: As suggested by Michael Kerrisk, don't
use SB_* as that convention is already in
use. Use SECBIT_ prefix instead.

Rusty,
commit 3ca4f5ca73
virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.
In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

This patch contains a device-mapper mirror log module that forwards
requests to userspace for processing.
The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are
located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency,
diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for
communication.
The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk"
and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace
daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to
process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the
cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations
with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible.
(Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror.
They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware
entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are
done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is
done, not the second.)

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".
PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.
Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.
To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

Changeset c19e654ddb
("gre: Add netlink interface") added an include
of linux/ip.h to linux/if_tunnel.h
We can't really let that get exposed to userspace
because this conflicts with types defined in netinet/ip.h
which userland is almost certainly going to have included
either explicitly or implicitly.
So guard this include with a __KERNEL__ ifdef.

bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode
consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications
that want to interface with the bsg driver.
Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into
the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need
to provide source and devel packages for distros.
This should also be submitted to stable 2.6.28 and 2.6.27 since bsg had
a stable API since these Kernels and distro users will need the header
for these kernels a swell
