* Fix header export of videodev2.h, ivtv.h, ivtvfb.hDavid Woodhouse2008-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exported copy of videodev2.h contains this line: #define #include <sys/time.h> This is because for some reason it defines __user for itself -- despite the fact that we remove all instances of __user when exporting headers. _All_ pointers in userspace are user pointers. Fix it by removing the unnecessary '#define __user' from the file. The new headers ivtv.h and ivtvfb.h would have the same problem... if whoever put them there had actually remembered to add them to the Kbuild file while he was at it. Fix those too, and export them as was presumably intended. Note that includes of <linux/compiler.h> are also stripped by the header export process, so those don't need to be conditional.

| * security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells2008-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28 require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure, particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU will have to be observed. Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more easily. Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID, EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header files mitigates against making them inline functions. linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h. Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision otherwise incurred.

It mixed exclusive access with completion. That is, we need to mark an object as being flushed before flushing it to disk, and then block any other attempt to flush it until the completion occurs. We do this but adding an extra count to the completion before we start using them. However, we still need to determine if there is a completion in progress, and allow no-blocking attempts fo completions to decrement the count. To do this we introduce: int try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x) returns a failure status if done == 0, otherwise decrements done to zero and returns a "started" status. This is provided to allow counted completions to begin safely while holding object locks in inverted order. int completion_done(struct completion *x) returns 1 if there is no waiter, 0 if there is a waiter (i.e. a completion in progress). This replaces the use of semaphores for providing this exclusion and completion mechanism.

While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.

This patch simply re-plays the current mapping at resume time to restore the table.=20 I noticed this once I started relying on persistent GTT mappings across VT switch in our GEM work -- the old X server and DRM code carefully unbind all memory from the GTT on VT switch, but GEM does not bother. I placed the list management and rewrite code in the generic layer on the assumption that it will be needed on other hardware, but I did not add the rewrite call to anything other than the Intel resume function. Keep a list of current GATT mappings. At resume time, rewrite them into the GATT. This is needed on Intel (at least) as the entire GATT is cleared across suspend/resume.

After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics. (which is unsigned for performance reasons) So revert: # c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift # c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads. # af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ # f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time This solves the interactivity problems.

Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more than once to get a correct answer to the given query. Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before doing a traversal. A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked with the new value yet. This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count systems. The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes. Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system with N cpus. For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring the machine to a complete standstill. Signed-off-by: David S.
