sched.7: Rework discussion of autogroup nice value
...
Remove the text saying that setting the autogroup nice value
always lowers the group's priority. That was actually a
bug introduced in Linux 4.7.
Also make it clearer that the autogroup nice value has the same
meaning as the nice value set by setpriority(2).

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos:]
The above is certainly accurate, however, I think that such a
discussion or text, when reflected to a man-page is going to
cause problems. The audience of a man-page are not crypto people,
and seeing such text would create confusion rather than clarify
how these devices/apis should be used. The *if* part is not put
into a perspective, suggesting that such an *if* is possible.
However, if one clarifies, i.e., in that case, your TLS or SSH
connection is most likely broken as well, and not because of any
attack on /dev/urandom, then one can see that we are heading
towards a theoretical discussion.
My suggestion, on that particular text would be to remove it,
but make it explicit somewhere in the text that all the
assurances for the devices depend on the crypto primitives,
rather than describing risks that may arise on particular
usage patterns *if* primitives are broken.

capabilities.7: Note on SECURE_NO_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE for capabilities-only environment
...
A few months after applying Andy Lutomirski's patch that documented
ambient capabilities, I found myself again asking a question
that I'd already once asked of Any. So, best to be more explicit
in the man page that setting/locking SECBIT_NO_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE
is not required when using prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS) to create
a capabilities-only environment.
This was the 4 Dec 2015 reply from Andy to my question:
> In the capabilities(7) page tehre is the longstanding text:
>
> An application can use the following call to lock itself, and
> all of its descendants, into an environment where the only way
> of gaining capabilities is by executing a program with associ‐
> ated file capabilities:
>
> prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS,
> SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS_LOCKED |
> SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP |
> SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP_LOCKED |
> SECBIT_NOROOT |
> SECBIT_NOROOT_LOCKED);
>
> As far as I can estimate, no changes are needed here to include

> in the above prctl() call, but could you confirm please?
Correct. I'll probably write up a patch to suggest that doing this is
a poor idea on a conventional distro, though, and I'll explain why. I
suppose than deleting this would be an option, too.

...
_POSIX_SOURCE was a POSIX.1-1990 creation that was soon made
obsolete bu _POSIX_C_SOURCE. Retaining mention of it
in the feature test macro requirements section of the
SYNOPSIS doesn't contain important information, and may
mislead readers into actually trying to use this macro.
A few mentions of it a maintained in a some pages where
defining _POSIX_SOURCE inhibits some behavior.

pthreads are the main usage of futexes, refer to pthread.7.
Implementation of robust futexes requires knowledge of set_robust_list.2
and get_robust_list.2.
It is noworthy that a closing thread can wake up a futex. Hence mention
clone.2 and set_tid_address.2.

rtld-audit.7: Fix (typo) error in la_pltenter() description
...
s/la_pltenter()/la_pltexit()/
la_pltenter() is called regardless of the value of
framesizep but la_pltexit() is called only if la_pltenter()
returns with non-zero framesizep set. I spent long time to
figure out why la_pltexit() is not called at all.
Quoting comments in glibc/sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.h:
/* There's nothing in the frame size, so there
will be no call to the _dl_call_pltexit. */
and
/* At this point we need to prepare new stack for the function
which has to be called. We copy the original stack to a
temporary buffer of the size specified by the 'framesize'
returned from _dl_profile_fixup */
I think it's because it needs to preserve 'inregs' to be passed to
la_pltexit().
The _dl_profile_fixup() sets the '*framesizep' to maximum value of
what la_pltenter() sets. Please see glibc/elf/dl-runtime.c file.

nptl.7: Note that i386 and x86-64 binaries can't share mutexes
...
Quoting Nicholas Miell:
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED says any thread with access to the
memory containing the mutex can operate on the mutex and
POSIX basically ignores the idea that different processes
could be running completely incompatible executables or
whatever.
pthread_mutex_t has a bunch of #ifdefs in the middle of it
that change the structure size and layout between i386 and
x86_64.
Most importantly, the positions of the __nusers and __kind
fields are swapped (this looks to be an oversight dating
back to 2003 when __nusers was first introduced and carefully
preserved when the separate i386 and x86_64 versions of
pthreadtypes.h were merged into the single x86 version),
which means that when the lock and unlock functions attempt
to figure out what kind of mutex it is
(recursive/adaptive/whatever), they'll look at the wrong
field if the mutex is from the wrong architecture and then
things will break.
And then there's the fact that the rest of the struct is a
union in the 32-bit version and flat in the 64-bit version,
but that could have been worked around if you put a flag in
the __kind field that tells the 64-bit pthread library that
it is looking at a 32-bit mutex.

rtld-audit.7: Use correct printf() specifier for pointer types
...
In the example code you used %x rather than %p in the example
code for an audit library. The problem is that it truncates the
pointers on 64b platforms. So you get something like:
la_symbind64(): symname = strrchr sym->st_value = 0x7f4b8a3f8960
ndx = 222 flags = 0x0 refcook = 8b53e5c8 defcook = 8b537e30
rather than:
la_symbind64(): symname = fclose sym->st_value = 0x7fa452dd49b0
ndx = 1135 flags = 0x0 refcook = 0x7fa453f395c8 defcook = 0x7fa453f32e30
This has bitten me a handful of times when playing around with
audit test libraries to investigate its behavior.

ip.7: Relocate misplaced text describing ENOPROTOOPT error
...
Long ago, some page reworking moved this text to a somewhat
random location in the middle of the socket options list.
Move it to a sensible location, and at the same time,
rework the text to be a little clearer.

packet.7: Add sll_protocol to list of required fields for outbound packets
...
The manpage packet(7) currently states that:
"When you send packets it is enough to specify sll_family, sll_addr,
sll_halen, sll_ifindex."
This is incorrect: you also need to specify sll_protocol.
(The protocol specified when the socket is created is used for
filtering inbound packets, but not for constructing outbound
packets.)
I encountered this while researching a page for my website:
http://www.microhowto.info/howto/send_an_arbitrary_ethernet_frame_using_an_af_packet_socket_in_c.html
To empirically verify the behaviour I took my test code from the
above page then changed it to use different values for the third
argument to socket() and the sll_protocol field:
- socket created with ETH_P_ARP, packet sent with ETH_P_ARP:
packet sent with EtherType of ETH_P_ARP
- socket created with ETH_P_ARP, sll_protocol==0:
packet sent with EtherType of 0
- socket created with 0x88b5, sll_protocol==htons(ETH_P_ARP):
packet sent with EtherType of ETH_P_ARP
- socket created with ETH_P_ARP, sll_protocol==htons(0x88b5):
packet sent with EtherType of 0x88b5
This shows that leaving sll_protocol set to zero does not have
the desired effect and that it needs to be set to the desired
link-layer protocol.
There is code in the relevant kernel source file
(net/packet/af_packet.c) which appears to inspect the value of the
sll_protocol field and use it as the link-layer protocol number,
however I am not sufficiently familiar with this subsystem to be
fully confident of what is happening. The line in question is:
proto = saddr->sll_protocol;
In version 3.4 of the kernel this can be found in the functions
packet_snd and tpacket_snd. In version 2.6.26 it is in packet_sendmsg.
Below is a patch that adds sll_protocol to the list of required fields.
This may not be the whole truth, since it is not clear what role if any
sll_protocol, sll_halen or sll_addr would play when the socket type is
SOCK_RAW, however I'm confident it is more accurate than the page as it
stands at present.
