During board initialization read the shared memory item
SMEM_POWER_ON_STATUS_INFO and place it in the procfs at
/proc/sys/kernel/boot_reason
The data item is an integer with a bit being set to identify the reason
the device was powered on. The values of this data item is defined in
the document Document/arm/msm/boot.txt, the following is the data in the
documentation file.
power_on_status values set by the PMIC for power on event:
----------------------------------------------------------
0x01 -- keyboard power on
0x02 -- RTC alarm
0x04 -- cable power on
0x08 -- SMPL
0x10 -- Watch Dog timeout
0x20 -- USB charger
0x40 -- Wall charger
0xFF -- error reading power_on_status value
This is cherrypicked from commit <372d39f87b0da75>

commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a upstream.
This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
- The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
- Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
default using a distro patch.)
Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.
To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

[subashab@codeaurora.org: resolve trivial merge conflicts]
Signed-off-by: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@codeaurora.org>
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
the user.
A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
debugging.
This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the
location of the warning.

This can be used in virtual networking applications, and
may have other uses as well. The option is disabled by
default.
A specific use case is setting up virtual routers, bridges, and
hosts on a single OS without the use of network namespaces or
virtual machines. With proper use of ip rules, routing tables,
veth interface pairs and/or other virtual interfaces,
and applications that can bind to interfaces and/or IP addresses,
it is possibly to create one or more virtual routers with multiple
hosts attached. The host interfaces can act as IPv6 systems,
with radvd running on the ports in the virtual routers. With the
option provided in this patch enabled, those hosts can now properly
obtain IPv6 addresses from the radvd.

The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns
aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of
cache line misses with the practical difference that
ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life.
Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial
to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace.
So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can.
In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the

binary_sysctl() calls sysctl_getname() which allocates from names_cache
slab usin __getname()
The matching function to free the name is __putname(), and not putname()
which should be used only to match getname() allocations.
This is because when auditing is enabled, putname() calls audit_putname
*instead* (not in addition) to __putname(). Then, if a syscall is in
progress, audit_putname does not release the name - instead, it expects
the name to get released when the syscall completes, but that will happen
only if audit_getname() was called previously, i.e. if the name was
allocated with getname() rather than the naked __getname(). So,
__getname() followed by putname() ends up leaking memory.

A while back there was a discussion regarding the rt_secret_interval timer.
Given that we've had the ability to do emergency route cache rebuilds for awhile
now, based on a statistical analysis of the various hash chain lengths in the
cache, the use of the flush timer is somewhat redundant. This patch removes the
rt_secret_interval sysctl, allowing us to rely solely on the statistical
analysis mechanism to determine the need for route cache flushes.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When printing legacy sysctls print the warning message
for each of them only once. This way there is a guarantee
the syslog won't be flooded for any sane program.
The original attempt at this made the tables non const and stored
the flag inline.
Linus suggested using a separate hash table for this, this is based on a
code snippet from him.
The hash implies this is not exact and can sometimes not print a
new sysctl due to a hash collision, but in practice this should not
be a problem
I used a FNV32 hash over the binary string with a 32byte bitmap. This
gives relatively little collisions when all the predefined binary sysctls
are hashed:
size 256
bucket
length number
0: [25]
1: [67]
2: [88]
3: [47]
4: [22]
5: [6]
6: [1]
The worst case is a single collision of 6 hash values.

A malicious user could have passed in a ctl_name of 0 and triggered
the well know ctl_name to procname mapping code, instead of the wild

have procnames, and because in some alternate universe a network device
might have ifindex 0. So test for and handle wild card entries first.

To simply maintenance and to be able to remove all of the binary
sysctl support from various subsystems I have rewritten the binary
sysctl code as a compatibility wrapper around proc/sys.
The code is built around a hard coded table based on the table
in sysctl_check.c that lists all of our current binary sysctls
and provides enough information to convert from the sysctl
binary input into into ascii and back again. New in this
patch is the realization that the only dynamic entries
that need to be handled have ifname as the asscii string
and ifindex as their ctl_name.
When a sys_sysctl is called the code now looks in the
translation table converting the binary name to the
path under /proc where the value is to be found. Opens
that file, and calls into a format conversion wrapper
that calls fop->read and then fop->write as appropriate.
Since in practice the practically no one uses or tests
sys_sysctl rewritting the code to be beautiful is a little
silly. The redeeming merit of this work is it allows us to
rip out all of the binary sysctl syscall support from
everywhere else in the tree. Allowing us to remove
a lot of dead (after this patch) and barely maintained code.
In addition it becomes much easier to optimize the sysctl
implementation for being the backing store of /proc/sys,
without having to worry about sys_sysctl.

This uses compat_alloc_userspace to remove the various
hacks to allow do_sysctl to write to throuh oldlenp.
The rest of our mature compat syscall helper facitilies
are used as well to ensure we have a nice clean maintainable
compat syscall that can be used on all architectures.
The motiviation for a generic compat sysctl (besides the
obvious hack removal) is to reduce the number of compat
sysctl defintions out there so I can refactor the
binary sysctl implementation.
ppc already used the name compat_sys_sysctl so I remove the
ppcs version here.

Read in the binary sysctl path once, instead of reread it
from user space each time the code needs to access a path
element.
The deprecated sysctl warning is moved to do_sysctl so
that the compat_sysctl entries syscalls will also warn.
The return of -ENOSYS when !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is moved
to binary_sysctl. Always leaving a do_sysctl available
that handles !CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and printing the
deprecated sysctl warning allows for a single defitition
of the sysctl syscall.
