      [PATCH] Make vm86 support optional · 64ca9004
      Matt Mackall 提交于
      This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  Saves
      about 5k.
      
      This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
      instead uses function stubs in vm86.h.  Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
      from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
      can live together.

      [PATCH] Eliminate __attribute__ ((packed)) warnings for gcc-4.1 · 6a878184
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      Since version 4.1 the gcc is warning about ignored attributes. This patch is
      using the equivalent attribute on the struct instead of on each of the
      structure or union members.
      
      GCC Manual:
        "Specifying Attributes of Types
      
         packed
          This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies
          that
          each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
          required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the
          smallest integral type should be used.
      
          Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
          specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union
          members."

      [PATCH] aio: reorder kiocb structure elements to make sync iocb setup faster · 59d9136b
      Benjamin LaHaise 提交于
      Reorder members of the kiocb structure to make sync kiocb setup faster.  By
      setting the elements sequentially, the write combining buffers on the CPU
      are able to combine the writes into a single burst, which results in fewer
      cache cycles being consumed, freeing them up for other code.  This results
      in a 10-20KB/s[*] increase on the bw_unix part of LMbench on my test
      system.
      
      * The improvement varies based on what other patches are in the system,
        as there are a number of bottlenecks, so this number is not absolutely
        accurate.

      [PATCH] /dev/mem: validate mmap requests · 80851ef2
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests.
      
      This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write
      paths.
      
      The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or
      64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or
      uncacheable).  This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a
      machine check.
      
      Sample problem scenario:
        - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K
        - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule
        - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0
        - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here")
        - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB
          memory, e.g., sx1000)
      
      In the scenario above, the only choices are
        - Use WB for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because it causes attribute
          aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space.
        - Use UC for hwinfo mmap.  Can't do this because the chipset may not
          support UC for that region.
        - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL.  That's what this patch does.

      [PATCH] shrink dentry struct · 5160ee6f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
      UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
      of memory cache lines.
      
      Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
      results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
      (128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
      
      This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
      where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
      memory needs.
      
      At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
      to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
      
      Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
      the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
      but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
      
      As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
      worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

      [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method · a885c8c4
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
      duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
      the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
      ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
      drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
      
      [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
          to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
          the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
          sector size.

      [PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keys · b5f545c8
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
      instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.
      
      The patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
           to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
           spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
           rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.
      
           The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
           name are passed to the method.
      
       (2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
           to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
           /proc/pid/cmdline.
      
           This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
           patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
           longer there.
      
           A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.
      
       (3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
           key will retrieve the information.
      
       (4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
           authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
           for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
           lowest level of the session keyring.
      
           This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
           switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
           so is usable in multithreaded programs.
      
           The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.
      
       (5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
           permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
           key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
           with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.
      
           This function can also clear the assumption.
      
       (6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
           assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).
      
       (7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
           assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
           instantiation is successful.
      
       (8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
           file of permissions functions.
      
       (9) The documentation is updated.

      [PATCH] Fix some problems with truncate and mtime semantics. · 4a30131e
      NeilBrown 提交于
      SUS requires that when truncating a file to the size that it currently
      is:
        truncate and ftruncate should NOT modify ctime or mtime
        O_TRUNC SHOULD modify ctime and mtime.
      
      Currently mtime and ctime are always modified on most local
      filesystems (side effect of ->truncate) or never modified (on NFS).
      
      With this patch:
        ATTR_CTIME|ATTR_MTIME are sent with ATTR_SIZE precisely when
          an update of these times is required whether size changes or not
          (via a new argument to do_truncate).  This allows NFS to do
          the right thing for O_TRUNC.
        inode_setattr nolonger forces ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME when the ATTR_SIZE
          sets the size to it's current value.  This allows local filesystems
          to do the right thing for f?truncate.
      
      Also, the logic in inode_setattr is changed a bit so there are two return
      points.  One returns the error from vmtruncate if it failed, the other
      returns 0 (there can be no other failure).
      
      Finally, if vmtruncate succeeds, and ATTR_SIZE is the only change
      requested, we now fall-through and mark_inode_dirty.  If a filesystem did
      not have a ->truncate function, then vmtruncate will have changed i_size,
      without marking the inode as 'dirty', and I think this is wrong.

      [PATCH] use ptrace_get_task_struct in various places · 6b9c7ed8
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
      consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
      Switch them to the common helpers.
      
      Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
      the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface.  We don't need the request argument
      now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
      returns.  It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
      that do one thing well now.

      [PATCH] relayfs: cleanup, change relayfs_file_* to relay_file_* · 761da5c8
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch renames relayfs_file_operations to relay_file_operations, and the
      file operations themselves from relayfs_XXX to relay_file_XXX, to make it more
      clear that they refer to relay files.

      [PATCH] relayfs: add support for global relay buffers · e6c08367
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch adds the optional is_global outparam to the create_buf_file()
      callback.  This can be used by clients to create a single global relayfs
      buffer instead of the default per-cpu buffers.  This was suggested as being
      useful for certain debugging applications where it's more convenient to be
      able to get all the data from a single channel without having to go to the
      bother of dealing with per-cpu files.
