| * sysctl: Infrastructure for per namespace sysctlsEric W. Biederman2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls. A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have it's own list of sysctl headers. Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace instance. register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional lists of sysctl_headers. As all of the users are expected to be in kernel no unregister function is provided. sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists. __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on a non-default sysctl list. The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| * sysctl: Remember the ctl_table we passed to register_sysctl_pathsEric W. Biederman2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By doing this we allow users of register_sysctl_paths that build and dynamically allocate their ctl_table to be simpler.

| * sysctl: Add register_sysctl_paths functionEric W. Biederman2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of modules that register a sysctl table somewhere deeply nested in the sysctl hierarchy, such as fs/nfs, fs/xfs, dev/cdrom, etc. They all specify several dummy ctl_tables for the path name. This patch implements register_sysctl_path that takes an additional path name, and makes up dummy sysctl nodes for each component. This patch was originally written by Olaf Kirch and brought to my attention and reworked some by Olaf Hering. I have changed a few additional things so the bugs are mine. After converting all of the easy callers Olaf Hering observed allyesconfig ARCH=i386, the patch reduces the final binary size by 9369 bytes. .text +897 .data -7008 text data bss dec hex filename 26959310 4045899 4718592 35723801 2211a19 ../vmlinux-vanilla 26960207 4038891 4718592 35717690 221023a ../O-allyesconfig/vmlinux So this change is both a space savings and a code simplification.

* | module: add module taint on ndiswrapperJon Masters2008-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The struct module taints member is supposed to store per-module taint data. The kernel knows about certain specific external modules that will taint the kernel, such as ndiswrapper. Use of ndiswrapper possibly should set the per-module taint in addition to the global kernel taint flag, unless we're arguing not because wrapper module itself is not what actually causes the kernel to be tainted as such?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been reports of modules failing to load because the modules they depend on are still loading.

* | module: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text.Rusty Russell2008-01-29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used kmalloc module text: we might think the symbol belongs to the core kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, the linux kernel (with scheduler statistics enabled) keeps track of the maximum time a process is waiting to be scheduled. While the maximum is a very useful metric, tracking average and total is equally useful (at least for latencytop) to figure out the accumulated effect of scheduler delays.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on a suggestion from Andi: In various cases, the unload of a module may leave some bad state around that causes a kernel crash AFTER a module is unloaded; and it's then hard to find which module caused that. This patch tracks the last unloaded module, and prints this as part of the module list in the oops trace. Right now, only the last 1 module is tracked; I expect that this is enough for the vast majority of cases where this information matters; if it turns out that tracking more is important, we can always extend it to that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's rather common that an oops/WARN_ON/BUG happens during the load or unload of a module. Unfortunatly, it's not always easy to see directly which module is being loaded/unloaded from the oops itself. Worse, it's not even always possible to ask the bug reporter, since there are so many components (udev etc) that auto-load modules that there's a good chance that even the reporter doesn't know which module this is. This patch extends the existing "show if it's tainting" print code, which is used as part of printing the modules in the oops/BUG/WARN_ON to include a "+" for "being loaded" and a "-" for "being unloaded". As a result this extension, the "taint_flags()" function gets renamed to "module_flags()" (and takes a module struct as argument, not a taint flags int).

* | sched: SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR watchdog timerPeter Zijlstra2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new rlimit that allows the user to set a runtime timeout on real-time tasks their slice. Once this limit is exceeded the task will receive SIGXCPU. So it measures runtime since the last sleep. Input and ideas by Thomas Gleixner and Lennart Poettering.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the task_struct members specific to rt scheduling together. A future optimization could be to put sched_entity and sched_rt_entity into a union.

* | uids: merge multiple error paths in alloc_uid() into onePavel Emelyanov2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are already 4 error paths in alloc_uid() that do incremental rollbacks. I think it's time to merge them. This costs us 8 lines of code :) Maybe it would be better to merge this patch with the previous one, but I remember that some time ago I sent a similar patch (fixing the error path and cleaning it), but I was told to make two patches in such cases.
