* [PATCH] Time: i386 Clocksource Driversjohn stultz2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the time sources for i386 (acpi_pm, cyclone, hpet, pit, and tsc). With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping code should be complete. The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.

* [PATCH] Time: Clocksource Infrastructurejohn stultz2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources. Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.

* [PATCH] keys: add a way to store the appropriate context for newly-created keysMichael LeMay2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a /proc/<pid>/attr/keycreate entry that stores the appropriate context for newly-created keys. Modify the selinux_key_alloc hook to make use of the new entry. Update the flask headers to include a new "setkeycreate" permission for processes. Update the flask headers to include a new "create" permission for keys. Use the create permission to restrict which SIDs each task can assign to newly-created keys. Add a new parameter to the security hook "security_key_alloc" to indicate whether it is being invoked by the kernel, or from userspace. If it is being invoked by the kernel, the security hook should never fail. Update the documentation to reflect these changes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add synchronous request interruption. This is needed for file locking operations which have to be interruptible. However filesystem may implement interruptibility of other operations (e.g. like NFS 'intr' mount option).

An empty directory '/sys/fs/fuse/connections' is still created in sysfs, and mounting the control filesystem here provides backward compatibility. Advantages of the control filesystem over the previous solution: - allows the object directory and the attributes to be owned by the filesystem owner, hence letting unpriviled users abort the filesystem connection - does not suffer from module unload race [akpm@osdl.org: fix this fs for recent dhowells depredations] [akpm@osdl.org: fix 64-bit printk warnings] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* | | | | | [PATCH] fuse: no backgrounding on interruptMiklos Szeredi2006-06-25

This removes a major wart from the implementation. Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of deadlocks. However now the same can be achieved by aborting the filesystem through the 'abort' sysfs attribute. This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems, since these kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.
