      timerfd: Only check CAP_WAKE_ALARM when it is needed · 25b68a8f
      Stephen Smalley authored 
      

timerfd_create() and do_timerfd_settime() evaluate capable(CAP_WAKE_ALARM)
unconditionally although CAP_WAKE_ALARM is only required for
CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM.

This can cause extraneous audit messages when using a LSM such as SELinux,
incorrectly causes PF_SUPERPRIV to be set even when no privilege was
exercised, and is inefficient.

Flip the order of the tests in both functions so that we only call
capable() if the capability is truly required for the operation.

 1) Don't save TIPC header values before the header has been validated,
    from Jon Paul Maloy.

 2) Fix memory leak in RDS, from Zhu Yanjun.

 3) We miss to initialize the UID in the flow key in some paths, from
    Julian Anastasov.

 4) Fix latent TOS masking bug in the routing cache removal from years
    ago, also from Julian.

 5) We forget to set the sockaddr port in sctp_copy_local_addr_list(),
    fix from Xin Long.

 6) Missing module ref count drop in packet scheduler actions, from
    Roman Mashak.

 7) Fix RCU annotations in rht_bucket_nested, from Herbert Xu.

 8) Fix use after free which happens because L2TP's ipv4 support returns
    non-zero values from it's backlog_rcv function which ipv4 interprets
    as protocol values. Fix from Paul Hüber.
