* sysctl: Stop using binary sysctl numbers in arlan.Eric W. Biederman2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Looking at the arlan code it appears all of the sysctl entries are disabled debug code, and have not been enabled since the driver was merged in feb of 2003. Since except for a select few that userspace can't get along without the binary sysctl table entries are going away. Kill the unused arlan binary sysctls. Cc: John W.

* sysctl binary: Reorder the tests to process wild card entries first.Eric W. Biederman2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | 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 card matching code. This is a slight problem as wild card entries don't have procnames, and because in some alternate universe a network device might have ifindex 0. So test for and handle wild card entries first.

* sysctl: sysctl_binary.c Fix compilation when !CONFIG_NETEric W. Biederman2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | dev_get_by_index does not exist when the network stack is not compiled in, so only include the code to follow wild card paths when the network stack is present. I have shuffled the code around a little to make it clear that dev_put is called after dev_get_by_index showing that there is no leak. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

* sysctl: Don't look at ctl_name and strategy in the generic codeEric W. Biederman2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | The ctl_name and strategy fields are unused, now that sys_sysctl is a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys. No longer looking at them in the generic code is effectively what we are doing now and provides the guarantee that during further cleanups we can just remove references to those fields and everything will work ok.

* sysctl: Remove references to ctl_name and strategy from the generic sysctl tableEric W. Biederman2009-11-11

* sysctl: Remove dead code from sysctl_checkEric W. Biederman2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it to a few remaining sanity checks. This completely decouples it from the binary sysctl system call. Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already been registered are all that remain. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* sysctl: Neuter the generic sysctl strategy routines.Eric W. Biederman2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | Now that sys_sysctl is a compatibility layer on top of /proc/sys these routines are never called but are still put in sysctl tables so I have reduced them to stubs until they can be removed entirely. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
* sysctl: Reduce sys_sysctl to a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sysEric W. Biederman2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* sysctl: Introduce a generic compat sysctl sysctlEric W. Biederman2009-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sysctl: Refactor the binary sysctl handling to remove duplicate codeEric W. Biederman2009-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| * MIPS: Alchemy: Fix hang with high-frequency edge interruptsManuel Lauss2009-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The handle_edge_irq() flowhandler disables edge int sources which occur too fast (i.e. another edge comes in before the irq handler function had a chance to finish). Currently, the mask_ack() callback does not ack the edges in hardware, leading to an endless loop in the flowhandler where it tries to shut up the irq source. When I rewrote the alchemy IRQ code I wrongly assumed the mask_ack() callback was only used by the level flowhandler, hence it omitted the (at the time pointless) edge acks. Turned out I was wrong; so here is a complete mask_ack implementation for Alchemy IC, which fixes the above mentioned problem.
