* lockdep: reduce the ifdefferyPeter Zijlstra2007-07-19

* fix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdepPeter Zijlstra2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock statistics. It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that encountered contention. It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number of event can give the avg). All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read (shared state). The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is minimized via having no global cachemisses. This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance. This patch: raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself relies on it.

* Use --build-id ld optionRoland McGrath2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when linking modules, if ld supports it. This is a new GNU ld option that synthesizes an ELF note section inside the read-only data. The note in this section contains unique identifying bits called the "build ID", which are generated so as to be different for any two linked ELF files that aren't identical. The build ID can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc. and used to look up the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history associated with it. For normal program linking, the compiler passes --build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly as we do.

Then found the "jbd2: Move jbd2-debug file to debugfs" patch http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f49d5d019afa4e94253bfc92f0daca3badb990b changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0. Thus the compile warning occurs. Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to int, but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where calling debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value to be u8 type. Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy, kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the jbd2_journal_enable_debug is set to 0. But this is not the case. The fix is change the level of debugging to 1. The same should fixed in ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we probably should fix it all together.

* coredump masking: bound suid_dumpable sysctlKawai, Hidehiro2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series is version 5 of the core dump masking feature, which controls which VMAs should be dumped based on their memory types and per-process flags. I adopted most of Andrew's suggestion at the previous version. He also suggested using system call instead of /proc/<pid>/ interface, I decided to use the latter continuously because adding new system call with pid argument will give a big impact on the kernel. You can access the per-process flags via /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter interface. coredump_filter represents a bitmask of memory types, and if a bit is set, VMAs of corresponding memory type are written into a core file when the process is dumped. The bitmask is inherited from the parent process when a process is created. The original purpose is to avoid longtime system slowdown when a number of processes which share a huge shared memory are dumped at the same time. To achieve this purpose, this patch series adds an ability to suppress dumping anonymous shared memory for specified processes. In this version, three other memory types are also supported. Here are the coredump_filter bits: bit 0: anonymous private memory bit 1: anonymous shared memory bit 2: file-backed private memory bit 3: file-backed shared memory The default value of coredump_filter is 0x3. This means the new core dump routine has the same behavior as conventional behavior by default. In this version, coredump_filter bits and mm.dumpable are merged into mm.flags, and it is accessed by atomic bitops. The supported core file formats are ELF and ELF-FDPIC. ELF has been tested, but ELF-FDPIC has not been built and tested because I don't have the test environment. This patch limits a value of suid_dumpable sysctl to the range of 0 to 2.

* fs: introduce vfs_path_lookupJosef 'Jeff' Sipek2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stackable file systems, among others, frequently need to lookup paths or path components starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace (identified by a dentry and a vfsmount). Currently, such file systems use lookup_one_len, which is frowned upon [1] as it does not pass the lookup intent along; not passing a lookup intent, for example, can trigger BUG_ON's when stacking on top of NFSv4. The first patch introduces a new lookup function to allow lookup starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace. This approach has been suggested by Christoph Hellwig [2]. The second patch changes sunrpc to use vfs_path_lookup. The third patch changes nfsctl.c to use vfs_path_lookup. The fourth patch marks link_path_walk static. The fifth, and last patch, unexports path_walk because it is no longer unnecessary to call it directly, and using the new vfs_path_lookup is cleaner. For example, the following snippet of code, looks up "some/path/component" in a directory pointed to by parent_{dentry,vfsmnt}: err = vfs_path_lookup(parent_dentry, parent_vfsmnt, "some/path/component", 0, &nd); if (!err) { /* exits */ ... /* once done, release the references */ path_release(&nd); } else if (err == -ENOENT) { /* doesn't exist */ } else { /* other error */ } VFS functions such as lookup_create can be used on the nameidata structure to pass the create intent to the file system.

* mm: variable length argument supportOllie Wild2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from the old mm into the new mm. We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out where the stack should be, we move it downwards. It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is inactive.
