lsm_audit: don't specify the audit pre/post callbacks in 'struct common_audit_data'

2012-04-03T16:49:59Z

It just bloats the audit data structure for no good reason, since the only time those fields are filled are just before calling the common_lsm_audit() function, which is also the only user of those fields. So just make them be the arguments to common_lsm_audit(), rather than bloating that structure that is passed around everywhere, and is initialized in hot paths. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

SELinux: do not allocate stack space for AVC data unless needed

2012-04-03T16:49:41Z

Instead of declaring the entire selinux_audit_data on the stack when we start an operation on declare it on the stack if we are going to use it. We know it's usefulness at the end of the security decision and can declare it there. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

LSM: shrink the common_audit_data data union

2012-04-03T16:49:10Z

After shrinking the common_audit_data stack usage for private LSM data I'm not going to shrink the data union. To do this I'm going to move anything larger than 2 void * ptrs to it's own structure and require it to be declared separately on the calling stack. Thus hot paths which don't need more than a couple pointer don't have to declare space to hold large unneeded structures. I could get this down to one void * by dealing with the key struct and the struct path. We'll see if that is helpful after taking care of networking.

LSM: shrink sizeof LSM specific portion of common_audit_data

2012-04-03T16:48:40Z

Linus found that the gigantic size of the common audit data caused a big perf hit on something as simple as running stat() in a loop. This patch requires LSMs to declare the LSM specific portion separately rather than doing it in a union. Thus each LSM can be responsible for shrinking their portion and don't have to pay a penalty just because other LSMs have a bigger space requirement.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2012-03-31T20:42:57Z

Pull second try at vfs part d#2 from Al Viro: "Miklos' first series (with do_lookup() rewrite split into edible chunks) + assorted bits and pieces. The 'untangling of do_lookup()' series is is a splitup of what used to be a monolithic patch from Miklos, so this series is basically "how do I convince myself that his patch is correct (or find a hole in it)". No holes found and I like the resulting cleanup, so in it went..."

selinux: inline avc_audit() and avc_has_perm_noaudit() into caller

2012-03-31T18:24:22Z

Now that all the slow-path code is gone from these functions, we can inline them into the main caller - avc_has_perm_flags(). Now the compiler can see that 'avc' is allocated on the stack for this case, which helps register pressure a bit. It also actually shrinks the total stack frame, because the stack frame that avc_has_perm_flags() always needed (for that 'avc' allocation) is now sufficient for the inlined functions too. Inlining isn't bad - but mindless inlining of cold code (see the previous commit) is. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
