* remove support for un-needed _extratext sectionRobin Getz2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

* use __set_task_state() for TRACED/STOPPED tasksOleg Nesterov2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. It is much easier to grep for ->state change if __set_task_state() is used instead of the direct assignment. 2. ptrace_stop() and handle_group_stop() use set_task_state() which adds the unneeded mb() (btw even if we use mb() it is still possible that do_wait() sees the new ->state but not ->exit_code, but this is ok).

* taskstats scaled time cleanupMichael Neuling2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime. This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are both NOPs. Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

* pm qos infrastructure and interfaceMark Gross2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter, and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos expectations of processes. This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on one of the parameters. Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as the initial set of pm_qos parameters. The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init() and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to abuse. For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values held in the parameter list elements. >From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple: pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value): Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different. pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value): Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered. pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name): Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement. >From user mode: Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register its parameter requirements in the following way: To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput] As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is "process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system call. To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32 value to the open device node. This translates to a pm_qos_update_requirement call. To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device node.

* capabilities: introduce per-process capability bounding setSerge E. Hallyn2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The capability bounding set is a set beyond which capabilities cannot grow. Currently cap_bset is per-system. It can be manipulated through sysctl, but only init can add capabilities. Root can remove capabilities. By default it includes all caps except CAP_SETPCAP. This patch makes the bounding set per-process when file capabilities are enabled. It is inherited at fork from parent. Noone can add elements, CAP_SETPCAP is required to remove them. One example use of this is to start a safer container. For instance, until device namespaces or per-container device whitelists are introduced, it is best to take CAP_MKNOD away from a container. The bounding set will not affect pP and pE immediately. It will only affect pP' and pE' after subsequent exec()s. It also does not affect pI, and exec() does not constrain pI'. So to really start a shell with no way of regain CAP_MKNOD, you would do prctl(PR_CAPBSET_DROP, CAP_MKNOD); cap_t cap = cap_get_proc(); cap_value_t caparray[1]; caparray[0] = CAP_MKNOD; cap_set_flag(cap, CAP_INHERITABLE, 1, caparray, CAP_DROP); cap_set_proc(cap); cap_free(cap); The following test program will get and set the bounding set (but not pI). For instance ./bset get (lists capabilities in bset) ./bset drop cap_net_raw (starts shell with new bset) (use capset, setuid binary, or binary with file capabilities to try to increase caps) ************************************************************ cap_bound.c ************************************************************ #include <sys/prctl.h> #include <linux/capability.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #ifndef PR_CAPBSET_READ #define PR_CAPBSET_READ 23 #endif #ifndef PR_CAPBSET_DROP #define PR_CAPBSET_DROP 24 #endif int usage(char *me) { printf("Usage: %s get\n", me); printf(" %s drop <capability>\n", me); return 1; } #define numcaps 32 char *captable[numcaps] = { "cap_chown", "cap_dac_override", "cap_dac_read_search", "cap_fowner", "cap_fsetid", "cap_kill", "cap_setgid", "cap_setuid", "cap_setpcap", "cap_linux_immutable", "cap_net_bind_service", "cap_net_broadcast", "cap_net_admin", "cap_net_raw", "cap_ipc_lock", "cap_ipc_owner", "cap_sys_module", "cap_sys_rawio", "cap_sys_chroot", "cap_sys_ptrace", "cap_sys_pacct", "cap_sys_admin", "cap_sys_boot", "cap_sys_nice", "cap_sys_resource", "cap_sys_time", "cap_sys_tty_config", "cap_mknod", "cap_lease", "cap_audit_write", "cap_audit_control", "cap_setfcap" }; int getbcap(void) { int comma=0; unsigned long i; int ret; printf("i know of %d capabilities\n", numcaps); printf("capability bounding set:"); for (i=0; i<numcaps; i++) { ret = prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, i); if (ret < 0) perror("prctl"); else if (ret==1) printf("%s%s", (comma++) ?

* Add 64-bit capability support to the kernelAndrew Morgan2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch supports legacy (32-bit) capability userspace, and where possible translates 32-bit capabilities to/from userspace and the VFS to 64-bit kernel space capabilities. If a capability set cannot be compressed into 32-bits for consumption by user space, the system call fails, with -ERANGE.

* Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functionsChristoph Lameter2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works. - Eliminate useless functions - Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain all pages not only those of the local processor. - Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages() disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to disable interrupts. - Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c - Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining of processor local pages is may not the right approach if software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages then we can make drain_pages() static.

* timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

With these changes handle_group_stop() becomes the subset of do_signal_stop(), we can kill it and use do_signal_stop() instead. Also, a preparation for the next patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When __group_complete_signal() sees sig_kernel_coredump() signal, it starts the group stop, but sets ->group_exit_task = t in a hope that "t" will actually dequeue this signal and invoke do_coredump(). However, by the time "t" enters get_signal_to_deliver() it is possible that the signal was blocked/ignored or we have another pending !SIG_KERNEL_COREDUMP_MASK signal which will be dequeued first. This means the task could be stopped but not killed. Remove this code from __group_complete_signal(). Note also this patch removes the bogus signal_wake_up(t, 1).

The main advantage it has is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does not break the following patches unnecessarily. It's just been discussed here http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267 However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit this for the next release cycle.

* | kobject: Always build in kernel/ksysfs.o.Paul Mundt2008-02-02
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernel/ksysfs.c seems to be a random dumping group for misc globals that the rest of the tree depend on. This has caused problems with exports in the past when sysfs is disabled, which can already be observed in commit-id 51107301b629640f9ab76fe23bf385e187b9ac29. The latest one is the kernel_kobj usage, which presently results in: fs/built-in.o: In function `debugfs_init': inode.c:(.init.text+0xc34): undefined reference to `kernel_kobj' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 kernel/ksysfs.c itself at this point only contains globals and some basic sysfs initialization, the sysfs initialization code is optimized out when we build with sysfs disabled. Given that, it's easier to just build in unconditionally, rather than trying to find some other random place to dump and initialize the globals. Additionally, the current trend seems to be decoupling of kobjects from sysfs, in which case it still makes sense to perform the kernel_kobj initialization that happens here even if sysfs is disabled, as lib/kobject.o is built-in unconditionally.

| * Suspend: Invoke suspend notifications after console switchJohannes Berg2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to fix APM emulation it is necessary to enable apm-emulation notifications for suspends triggered in various ways via the suspend notifiers. However, this will cause the systems using APM emulation to lock up between X being needed to switch away from the VT and X already waiting for resume in the APM ioctl. This patch moves the console switch (if enabled) before the suspend notification (and after the resume notification) to avoid this issue.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ACPI systems the target state set by acpi_pm_set_target() is reset by acpi_pm_finish(), but that need not be called if the suspend fails.  All platforms that use the .set_target() global suspend callback are affected by analogous issues. For this reason, we need an additional global suspend callback that will reset the target state regardless of whether or not the suspend is successful.  Also, it is reasonable to rename the .set_target() callback, since it will be used for a different purpose on ACPI systems (due to ACPI 1.0x code ordering requirements). Introduce the global suspend callback .end() to be executed at the end of the suspend sequence and rename the .set_target() global suspend callback to .begin(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
