| * syscalls.h: slightly reduce the jungles of macrosAl Viro2013-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a) teach __MAP(num, m, <list of type/name pairs>) to take empty list (with num being 0, of course) b) fold types__... and args__... declaration and initialization into SYSCALL_METADATA(num, ...), making their use conditional on num != 0. That allows to use the SYSCALL_METADATA instead of its near-duplicate in SYSCALL_DEFINE0. c) make SYSCALL_METADATA expand to nothing in case if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS is not defined; that allows to make SYSCALL_DEFINE0 and SYSCALL_DEFINEx definitions independent from CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS. d) kill SYSCALL_DEFINE - no users left (SYSCALL_DEFINE[0-6] is, of course, still alive and well).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this patch is to allow privileged processes to set their own per-memory memory-region fields: start_code, end_code, start_data, end_data, start_brk, brk, start_stack, arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end. This functionality is needed by any application or package that needs to reconstruct Linux processes, that is, to start them in any way other than by means of an "execve()" from an executable file. This includes: 1. Restoring processes from a checkpoint-file (by all potential user-level checkpointing packages, not only CRIU's). 2. Restarting processes on another node after process migration. 3. Starting duplicated copies of a running process (for reliability and high-availablity). 4. Starting a process from an executable format that is not supported by Linux, thus requiring a "manual execve" by a user-level utility. 5. Similarly, starting a process from a networked and/or crypted executable that, for confidentiality, licensing or other reasons, may not be written to the local file-systems. The code that does that was already included in the Linux kernel by the CRIU group, in the form of "prctl(PR_SET_MM)", but prior to this was enclosed within their private "#ifdef CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE", which is normally disabled. The patch removes those ifdefs.

Recently some hidden options were added below the EXPERT menuconfig, but did not depend on EXPERT (because hidden options can't). This broke the display. So re-order all these options, and while we're here stick the PCI quirks under the EXPERT menu (since it isn't sitting with any related options). Before this commit, we get: [*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users) ---> [ ] Sysctl syscall support [*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops ... [ ] Embedded system Now we get the older (and correct) behavior: [*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users) ---> [ ] Embedded system And if you go into the expert menu you get the expert options: [ ] Sysctl syscall support [*] Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops ...

Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

| * | relay: use macro PAGE_ALIGN instead of FIX_SIZEzhangwei(Jovi)2013-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Macro FIX_SIZE is same as PAGE_ALIGN at present, so use PAGE_ALIGN instead. Thanks Andrew found this.
