* [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1Al Viro2005-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

* [PATCH] fix do_coredump() vs SIGSTOP raceOleg Nesterov2005-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's suppose we have 2 threads in thread group: A - does coredump B - has pending SIGSTOP thread A thread B do_coredump: get_signal_to_deliver: lock(->sighand) ->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT unlock(->sighand) lock(->sighand) signr = dequeue_signal() ->signal->flags |= SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED return SIGSTOP; do_signal_stop: unlock(->sighand) coredump_wait: zap_threads: lock(tasklist_lock) send SIGKILL to B // signal_wake_up() does nothing unlock(tasklist_lock) lock(tasklist_lock) lock(->sighand) re-check sig->flags & SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, yes set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED); finish_stop: schedule(); // ->state == TASK_STOPPED wait_for_completion(&startup_done) // waits for complete() from B, // ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE We can't wake up 'B' in any way: SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees ->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help. sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info() because B already has pending SIGKILL. This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock. That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal() can only return SIGKILL. I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL) and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much simpler.

* Fix inequality comparison against "task->state"Linus Torvalds2005-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We should always use bitmask ops, rather than depend on some ordering of the different states. With the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag, the inequality doesn't really work. Oleg Nesterov argues (likely correctly) that this test is unnecessary in the first place. However, the minimal fix for now is to at least make it work in the presense of TASK_NONINTERACTIVE. Waiting for consensus from Roland & co on potential bigger cleanups. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Fix task state testing properly in do_signal_stop()Roland McGrath2005-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | Any tests using < TASK_STOPPED or the like are left over from the time when the TASK_ZOMBIE and TASK_DEAD bits were in the same word, and it served to check for "stopped or dead". I think this one in do_signal_stop is the only such case. It has been buggy ever since exit_state was separated, and isn't testing the exit_state value.

* Make sure SIGKILL gets proper respectLinus Torvalds2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bhavesh P. Davda <bhavesh@avaya.com> noticed that SIGKILL wouldn't properly kill a process under just the right cicumstances: a stopped task that already had another signal queued would get the SIGKILL queued onto the shared queue, and there it would remain until SIGCONT. This simplifies the signal acceptance logic, and fixes the bug in the process. Losely based on an earlier patch by Bhavesh. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] suspend: cleanup calling of power off methods.Eric W. Biederman2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. The S4 suspend code for PM_DISK_PLATFORM was also calling device_shutdown without setting system_state, and was not calling the appropriate reboot_notifier. This patch fixes the bug by replacing the call of device_suspend with kernel_poweroff_prepare. Various forms of this failure have been fixed and tracked for a while.

* [PATCH] PR_GET_DUMPABLE returns incorrect infoMichael Kerrisk2005-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one version of this patch can be found here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ). This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was modified from 0..1 to 0..2. However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

However, if auditd really is AWOL then this could potentially bring the entire system to a halt, depending on the audit rules in effect. Firstly, make sure the wait time is honoured correctly -- it's the maximum time the process should wait, rather than the time to wait _each_ time round the loop. We were getting re-woken _each_ time a packet was dequeued, and the timeout was being restarted each time. Secondly, reset the wait time after audit_panic() is called. In general this will be reset to zero, to allow progress to be made. If the system is configured to _actually_ panic on audit_panic() then that will already have happened; otherwise we know that audit records are being lost anyway. These two tunables can't be exposed via AUDIT_GET and AUDIT_SET because those aren't particularly well-designed. It probably should have been done by sysctls or sysfs anyway -- one for a later patch.
