* clockevents: introduce force broadcast notifierThomas Gleixner2007-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into broadcast mode. Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock events layer. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

This change was inspired by the talk with Alexey Kuznetsov about current netlink messages processing. He says that he was badly wrong when introduced asynchronious user -> kernel communication. The call netlink_unicast is the only path to send message to the kernel netlink socket. But, unfortunately, it is also used to send data to the user. Before this change the user message has been attached to the socket queue and sk->sk_data_ready was called. The process has been blocked until all pending messages were processed. The bad thing is that this processing may occur in the arbitrary process context. This patch changes nlk->data_ready callback to get 1 skb and force packet processing right in the netlink_unicast. Kernel -> user path in netlink_unicast remains untouched. EINTR processing for in netlink_run_queue was changed. It forces rtnl_lock drop, but the process remains in the cycle until the message will be fully processed. So, there is no need to use this kludges now. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to create a new network namespace using sys_clone, or sys_unshare. As the network namespace is still experimental and under development clone and unshare support is only made available when CONFIG_NET_NS is selected at compile time. As this patch introduces network namespace support into code paths that exist when the CONFIG_NET is not selected there are a few additions made to net_namespace.h to allow a few more functions to be used when the networking stack is not compiled in.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | fix bogus reporting of signals by auditAl Viro2007-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Async signals should not be reported as sent by current in audit log. As it is, we call audit_signal_info() too early in check_kill_permission(). Note that check_kill_permission() has that test already - it needs to know if it should apply current-based permission checks. So the solution is to move the call of audit_signal_info() between those. Bogosity in question is easily reproduced - add a rule watching for e.g. kill(2) from specific process (so that audit_signal_info() would not short-circuit to nothing), say load_policy, watch the bogus OBJ_PID entry in audit logs claiming that write(2) on selinuxfs file issued by load_policy(8) had somehow managed to send a signal to syslogd...

* | Fix timer_stats printout of events/secAnton Blanchard2007-10-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using /proc/timer_stats on ppc64 I noticed the events/sec field wasnt accurate. Sometimes the integer part was incorrect due to rounding (we werent taking the fractional seconds into consideration). The fraction part is also wrong, we need to pad the printf statement and take the bottom three digits of 1000 times the value.

* robust futex thread exit raceMartin Schwidefsky2007-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex. Another thread might grab the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex. fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the robust mutex list of a different thread. This can cause two problems: 1) some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some mutexs held by a different thread are freed. The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.
