      cputime: Use accessors to read task cputime stats · 6fac4829
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
      remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
      dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
      way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
      since its last cputime snapshot.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
      currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
      
       | effect                 | alternative flags
      -+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
      1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
      2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
      3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      
      This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
      cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
      reduces total_vm showed in proc.
      
      Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
      
      remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
      remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function · 6be5ceb0
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
      vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
      required VM locking.
      
      This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
      duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
      to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
      
      Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
      modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
      very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
      use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

      It does the same thing as "do_brk()", except it handles the VM locking
      too.
      
      It turns out that all external callers want that anyway, so we can make
      do_brk() static to just mm/mmap.c while at it.

      Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h · 96f951ed

      asm/system.h is a cause of circular dependency problems because it contains
      commonly used primitive stuff like barrier definitions and uncommonly used
      stuff like switch_to() that might require MMU definitions.

      coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP · accb61fe
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
      for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
      MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
      memory regions which should not dump core.
      
      The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
      that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
      might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
      make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
      MADV_DODUMP.

      coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag · 909af768
      Jason Baron 提交于
      The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
      qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
      can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
      /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
      of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
      case).
      
      Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
      the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
      the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
      enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
      for this flag.
      
      The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
      'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
      'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
      continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
      region.
      
      The qemu code which implements this features is at:
      
        http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
      
      In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
      patch.
      
      I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
      security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
      dumped.
      
      This patch:
      
      The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
      indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
      can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
      the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
      arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.
