2532386f48 Audit: collect sessionid in netlink messages
Previously I added sessionid output to all audit messages where it was
available but we still didn't know the sessionid of the sender of
netlink messages.  This patch adds that information to netlink messages
so we can audit who sent netlink messages.

c5d18e984a [IPSEC]: Fix catch-22 with algorithm IDs above 31
As it stands it's impossible to use any authentication algorithms
with an ID above 31 portably.  It just happens to work on x86 but
fails miserably on ppc64.

The reason is that we're using a bit mask to check the algorithm
ID but the mask is only 32 bits wide.

After looking at how this is used in the field, I have concluded
that in the long term we should phase out state matching by IDs
because this is made superfluous by the reqid feature.  For current
applications, the best solution IMHO is to allow all algorithms when
the bit masks are all ~0.

The following patch does exactly that.

This bug was identified by IBM when testing on the ppc64 platform
using the NULL authentication algorithm which has an ID of 251.

03e1ad7b5d LSM: Make the Labeled IPsec hooks more stack friendly
The xfrm_get_policy() and xfrm_add_pol_expire() put some rather large structs
on the stack to work around the LSM API.  This patch attempts to fix that
problem by changing the LSM API to require only the relevant "security"
pointers instead of the entire SPD entry; we do this for all of the
security_xfrm_policy*() functions to keep things consistent.

bcf0dda8d2 [XFRM]: xfrm_user: fix selector family initialization
Commit df9dcb45 ([IPSEC]: Fix inter address family IPsec tunnel handling)
broke openswan by removing the selector initialization for tunnel mode
in case it is uninitialized.

This patch restores the initialization, fixing openswan, but probably
breaking inter-family tunnels again (unknown since the patch author
disappeared). The correct thing for inter-family tunnels is probably
to simply initialize the selector family explicitly.

Change xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n).
This is achieved adding the entries to one more list which is used

This also fixes some races where the dump can have duplicate or missing

Dumping SADB with 20000 entries using "time ip xfrm state" the sys

This patch adds support for combined mode algorithms with GCM being
the first algorithm supported.

Combined mode algorithms can be added through the xfrm_user interface
using the new algorithm payload type XFRMA_ALG_AEAD.  Each algorithms
is identified by its name and the ICV length.

For the purposes of matching algorithms in xfrm_tmpl structures,
combined mode algorithms occupy the same name space as encryption
algorithms.  This is in line with how they are negotiated using IKE.

8053fc3de7 [IPSEC]: Temporarily remove locks around copying of non-atomic fields
The change 050f009e16

	[IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space

caused a regression.

Ingo Molnar reports that it causes a potential dead-lock found by the
lock validator as it tries to take x->lock within xfrm_state_lock while
numerous other sites take the locks in opposite order.

For 2.6.24, the best fix is to simply remove the added locks as that puts
us back in the same state as we've been in for years.  For later kernels
a proper fix would be to reverse the locking order for every xfrm state
user such that if x->lock is taken together with xfrm_state_lock then
it is to be taken within it.

cd40b7d398 [NET]: make netlink user -> kernel interface synchronious
This patch make processing netlink user -> kernel messages synchronious.
This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current
netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced 
asynchronious user -> kernel communication.

The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel
netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the
user.

Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue
and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all
pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing
may occur in the arbitrary process context.

This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet
processing right in the netlink_unicast.

Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched.

EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock
drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully
processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now.

050f009e16 [IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space
This patch adds locking so that when we're copying non-atomic fields such as
life-time or coaddr to user-space we don't get a partial result.

For af_key I've changed every instance of pfkey_xfrm_state2msg apart from
expiration notification to include the keys and life-times.  This is in-line
with XFRM behaviour.

The actual cases affected are:

* pfkey_getspi: No change as we don't have any keys to copy.
* key_notify_sa:
	+ ADD/UPD: This wouldn't work otherwise.
	+ DEL: It can't hurt.

68325d3b12 [XFRM] user: Move attribute copying code into copy_to_user_state_extra
Here's a good example of code duplication leading to code rot.  The
notification patch did its own netlink message creation for xfrm states.
It duplicated code that was already in dump_one_state.  Guess what, the
next time (and the time after) when someone updated dump_one_state the
notification path got zilch.

This patch moves that code from dump_one_state to copy_to_user_state_extra
and uses it in xfrm_notify_sa too.  Unfortunately whoever updates this
still needs to update xfrm_sa_len since the notification path wants to
know the exact size for allocation.

At least I've added a comment saying so and if someone still forgest, we'll
have a WARN_ON telling us so.

I also changed the security size calculation to use xfrm_user_sec_ctx since
that's what we actually put into the skb.  However it makes no practical
difference since it has the same size as xfrm_sec_ctx.

658b219e93 [IPSEC]: Move common code into xfrm_alloc_spi
This patch moves some common code that conceptually belongs to the xfrm core
from af_key/xfrm_user into xfrm_alloc_spi.

In particular, the spin lock on the state is now taken inside xfrm_alloc_spi.
Previously it also protected the construction of the response PF_KEY/XFRM
messages to user-space.  This is inconsistent as other identical constructions
are not protected by the state lock.  This is bad because they in fact should
be protected but only in certain spots (so as not to hold the lock for too
long which may cause packet drops).

The SPI byte order conversion has also been moved.

b4b510290b [NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlink
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

ab5f5e8b14 [XFRM]: xfrm audit calls
This patch modifies the current ipsec audit layer
by breaking it up into purpose driven audit calls.

So far, the only audit calls made are when add/delete
an SA/policy. It had been discussed to give each
key manager it's own calls to do this, but I found
there to be much redundnacy since they did the exact
same things, except for how they got auid and sid, so I
combined them. The below audit calls can be made by any
key manager. Hopefully, this is ok.

4aa2e62c45 xfrm: Add security check before flushing SAD/SPD
Currently we check for permission before deleting entries from SAD and
SPD, (see security_xfrm_policy_delete() security_xfrm_state_delete())
However we are not checking for authorization when flushing the SPD and
the SAD completely. It was perhaps missed in the original security hooks
patch.

This patch adds a security check when flushing entries from the SAD and
SPD.  It runs the entire database and checks each entry for a denial.
If the process attempting the flush is unable to remove all of the
entries a denial is logged the the flush function returns an error
without removing anything.

This is particularly useful when a process may need to create or delete
its own xfrm entries used for things like labeled networking but that
same process should not be able to delete other entries or flush the
entire database.

And you get the count; you can also pass -s to the command line and
get the hash info.

3ff50b7997 [NET]: cleanup extra semicolons
Spring cleaning time...

There seems to be a lot of places in the network code that have
extra bogus semicolons after conditionals.  Most commonly is a
bogus semicolon after: switch() { }

af65bdfce9 [NETLINK]: Switch cb_lock spinlock to mutex and allow to override it
Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it
with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks.
All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any
side-effects of the previously used spinlock.

c702e8047f [NETLINK]: Directly return -EINTR from netlink_dump_start()
Now that all users of netlink_dump_start() use netlink_run_queue()
to process the receive queue, it is possible to return -EINTR from
netlink_dump_start() directly, therefore simplying the callers.

1d00a4eb42 [NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handler
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used
to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted
because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is
simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue()
deal with getting the queue right.

nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers
but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore
it can be removed there as well.

This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected
message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.
