* proc: Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfsDavid Howells2013-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Make the PROC_I() and PDE() macros internal to procfs. This means making PDE_DATA() out of line. This could be made more optimal by storing PDE()->data into inode->i_private. Also provide a __PDE_DATA() that is inline and internal to procfs. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* proc: Supply a function to remove a proc entry by PDEDavid Howells2013-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Supply a function (proc_remove()) to remove a proc entry (and any subtree rooted there) by proc_dir_entry pointer rather than by name and (optionally) root dir entry pointer. This allows us to eliminate all remaining pde->name accesses outside of procfs.

* proc: Supply an accessor for getting the data from a PDE's parentDavid Howells2013-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode. ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show function in each of the proc files in that directory. This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one per PDE (and this has no release function).

| * tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTYJoe Millenbach2013-01-18

This saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway. bloat-o-meter output is below. The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies. bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long. add/remove: 0/226 grow/shrink: 2/14 up/down: 6/-35356 (-35350) function old new delta chr_dev_init 166 170 +4 allow_signal 80 82 +2 static.__warned 143 142 -1 disallow_signal 63 62 -1 __set_special_pids 95 94 -1 unregister_console 126 121 -5 start_kernel 546 541 -5 register_console 593 588 -5 copy_from_user 45 40 -5 sys_setsid 128 120 -8 sys_vhangup 32 19 -13 do_exit 1543 1526 -17 bitmap_zero 60 40 -20 arch_local_irq_save 137 117 -20 release_task 674 652 -22 static.spin_unlock_irqrestore 308 260 -48 Signed-off-by: Joe Millenbach <jmillenbach@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

* | proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors.Eric W. Biederman2012-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Assign a unique proc inode to each namespace, and use that inode number to ensure we only allocate at most one proc inode for every namespace in proc. A single proc inode per namespace allows userspace to test to see if two processes are in the same namespace. This has been a long requested feature and only blocked because a naive implementation would put the id in a global space and would ultimately require having a namespace for the names of namespaces, making migration and certain virtualization tricks impossible. We still don't have per superblock inode numbers for proc, which appears necessary for application unaware checkpoint/restart and migrations (if the application is using namespace file descriptors) but that is now allowd by the design if it becomes important. I have preallocated the ipc and uts initial proc inode numbers so their structures can be statically initialized. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

* | vfs: Add setns support for the mount namespaceEric W. Biederman2012-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | setns support for the mount namespace is a little tricky as an arbitrary decision must be made about what to set fs->root and fs->pwd to, as there is no expectation of a relationship between the two mount namespaces. Therefore I arbitrarily find the root mount point, and follow every mount on top of it to find the top of the mount stack. Then I set fs->root and fs->pwd to that location. The topmost root of the mount stack seems like a reasonable place to be. Bind mount support for the mount namespace inodes has the possibility of creating circular dependencies between mount namespaces. Circular dependencies can result in loops that prevent mount namespaces from every being freed. I avoid creating those circular dependencies by adding a sequence number to the mount namespace and require all bind mounts be of a younger mount namespace into an older mount namespace. Add a helper function proc_ns_inode so it is possible to detect when we are attempting to bind mound a namespace inode. Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::name a terminal array rather than a pointerDavid Howells2011-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since __proc_create() appends the name it is given to the end of the PDE structure that it allocates, there isn't a need to store a name pointer. Instead we can just replace the name pointer with a terminal char array of _unspecified_ length. The compiler will simply append the string to statically defined variables of PDE type overlapping any hole at the end of the structure and, unlike specifying an explicitly _zero_ length array, won't give a warning if you try to statically initialise it with a string of more than zero length. Also, whilst we're at it: (1) Move namelen to end just prior to name and reduce it to a single byte (name shouldn't be longer than NAME_MAX). (2) Move pde_unload_lock two places further on so that if it's four bytes in size on a 64-bit machine, it won't cause an unused hole in the PDE struct.

* mm: extract exe_file handling from procfsJiri Slaby2011-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc/<pid>/exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c.

| * ns: proc files for namespace naming policy.Eric W. Biederman2011-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ to allow controlling the namespaces of a process. This addresses three specific problems that can make namespaces hard to work with. - Namespaces require a dedicated process to pin them in memory. - It is not possible to use a namespace unless you are the child of the original creator. - Namespaces don't have names that userspace can use to talk about them. The namespace files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ can be opened and the file descriptor can be used to talk about a specific namespace, and to keep the specified namespace alive. A namespace can be kept alive by either holding the file descriptor open or bind mounting the file someplace else. aka: mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /some/filesystem/path mount --bind /proc/self/fd/<N> /some/filesystem/path This allows namespaces to be named with userspace policy. It requires additional support to make use of these filedescriptors and that will be comming in the following patches. Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::namelen unsigned intAlexey Dobriyan2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. namelen is declared "unsigned short" which hints for "maybe space savings". Indeed in 2.4 struct proc_dir_entry looked like: struct proc_dir_entry { unsigned short low_ino; unsigned short namelen; Now, low_ino is "unsigned int", all savings were gone for a long time. "struct proc_dir_entry" is not that countless to worry about it's size, anyway. 2. converting from unsigned short to int/unsigned int can only create problems, we better play it safe. Space is not really conserved, because of natural alignment for the next field. sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) remains the same.

* kcore: register vmemmap rangeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> pointed out that vmemmap range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC .... This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used. By this, vmemmap can be readable via /proc/kcore Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used. But the range is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by the same scheme with physical memory. This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range. It's correct now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, kclist_add() only eats start address and size as its arguments. Considering to make kclist dynamically reconfigulable, it's necessary to know which kclists are for System RAM and which are not. This patch add kclist types as KCORE_RAM KCORE_VMALLOC KCORE_TEXT KCORE_OTHER This "type" is used in a patch following this for detecting KCORE_RAM.

* kcore: use usual list for kclistKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2009-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset is for /proc/kcore. With this, - many per-arch hooks are removed. - /proc/kcore will know really valid physical memory area. - /proc/kcore will be aware of memory hotplug. - /proc/kcore will be architecture independent i.e. if an arch supports CONFIG_MMU, it can use /proc/kcore. (if the arch uses usual memory layout.) This patch: /proc/kcore uses its own list handling codes. It's better to use generic list codes. No changes in logic. just clean up.

* proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
