      [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix · 0b0bf7a3
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
      dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
      ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
      dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
      whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
      new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
      to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
      producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
      to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
      dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
      linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
      ".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
      dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
      still handle.
      
      The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
      images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
      panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
      
      This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
      
      First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
       This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
      with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
      
      Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
      images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
      conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
      concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
      system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
      provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
      with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
      =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
      compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
      make any choice work fine.

      [PATCH] audit syscall classes · b915543b
      Al Viro 提交于
      Allow to tie upper bits of syscall bitmap in audit rules to kernel-defined
      sets of syscalls.  Infrastructure, a couple of classes (with 32bit counterparts
      for biarch targets) and actual tie-in on i386, amd64 and ia64.

      [PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.c · e6a6d2ef
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can
      build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft.  We need a
      special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done.
      This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures.  Also remove some
      superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c
      
      Tested on ppc64.
      
      [1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct
          for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd
          kick in for all netdevice users.  We can introduce a proper handler
          in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to
          struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't
          compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this
          patchset.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
