      Unified UUID/GUID definition · fab1c232
      Huang Ying 提交于
      There are many different UUID/GUID definitions in kernel, such as that
      in EFI, many file systems, some drivers, etc. Every kernel components
      need UUID/GUID has its own definition. This patch provides a unified
      definition for UUID/GUID.
      
      UUID is defined via typedef. This makes that UUID appears more like a
      preliminary type, and makes the data type explicit (comparing with
      implicit "u8 uuid[16]").
      
      The binary representation of UUID/GUID can be little-endian (used by
      EFI, etc) or big-endian (defined by RFC4122), so both is defined.

      x86: Add optimized popcnt variants · d61931d8
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
      popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
      0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
      default lib/hweight.c sw versions.
      
      A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
      a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

      Revert "lib: build list_sort() only if needed" · b8fa0571
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit a069c266.
      
      It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
      but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
      modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
      list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.
      
      So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
      compiled in.  It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
      isn't worth it.

      lib: flexible array implementation · 534acc05
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation
      failures.  Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc()
      that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures.
      But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides.
      
      Here's an alternative.  I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here:
      
      	http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518
      
      I call it a flexible array.  It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so
      never does an order>0 allocation.  The base level has
      PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level.
       So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total
      storage when the objects pack nicely into a page.  It is half that on
      64-bit because the pointers are twice the size.  There's a table detailing
      this in the code.
      
      There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an
      overview:
      
      flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure
      flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the
      		    second-level pages
      flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but
      			  not the base (for static bases)
      flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index
      flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index
      flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages
      			between the given indexes to
      			guarantee no allocs will occur at
      			put() time.
      
      We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the
      API functions instead of storing it internally.  That would get us one
      more base pointer on 32-bit.
      
      I've been testing this by running it in userspace.  The header and patch
      that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to
      generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs.

      lib: Provide generic atomic64_t implementation · 09d4e0ed
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
      we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.
      
      This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
      spinlocks to provide atomicity.  For each atomic operation, the address
      of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
      spinlocks.  That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
      operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.
      
      On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
      interrupts around each operation.  In fact gcc eliminates the whole
      atomic64_lock variable as well.

      dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk · e9d376f0
      Jason Baron 提交于
      This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
      printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
      
      The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
      (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
      control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
      file, module, format string, and line number.
      
      for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
      
      echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
      
      to disable them:
      
      echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
      
      A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

      bzip2/lzma: config and initramfs support for bzip2/lzma decompression · 30d65dbf
      Alain Knaff 提交于
      Impact: New code for initramfs decompression, new features
      
      This is the second part of the bzip2/lzma patch
      
      The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
      compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
      compressors give smaller sizes than gzip.  Lzma's decompresses faster
      than bzip2.
      
      It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
      compressors.
      
      The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
      the udpcast project
      
      This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28
      
      This part contains:
      - support for new compressions (bzip2 and lzma) in initramfs and
      old-style ramdisk
      - config dialog for kernel compression (but new kernel compressions
      not yet supported)

      CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials · d84f4f99
      David Howells 提交于
      Inaugurate copy-on-write credentials management.  This uses RCU to manage the
      credentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.
      A process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to
      access or modify its own credentials.
      
      A mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect
      of PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to
      execve().
      
      With this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be
      changed directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified
      and committed using something like the following sequence of events:
      
      	struct cred *new = prepare_creds();
      	int ret = blah(new);
      	if (ret < 0) {
      		abort_creds(new);
      		return ret;
      	}
      	return commit_creds(new);
      
      There are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active
      credentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing
      COW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter
      the keys in a keyring in use by another task.
      
      To help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in
      the task_struct, are declared const.  The purpose of this is compile-time
      discouragement of altering credentials through those pointers.  Once a set of
      credentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be
      modified, except under special circumstances:
      
        (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.
      
        (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.
      
      The only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit
      using the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be
      added by a later patch).
      
      This patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux
      testsuite.
      
      This patch makes several logical sets of alteration:
      
       (1) execve().
      
           This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the
           security code rather than altering the current creds directly.
      
       (2) Temporary credential overrides.
      
           do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and
           temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst
           preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex
           on the thread being dumped.
      
           This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the
           credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering
           the task's objective credentials.
      
       (3) LSM interface.
      
           A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:
      
           (*) security_capset_check(), ->capset_check()
           (*) security_capset_set(), ->capset_set()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_capset().
      
           (*) security_capset(), ->capset()
      
           	 New.  This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old
           	 creds and the proposed capability sets.  It should fill in the new
           	 creds or return an error.  All pointers, barring the pointer to the
           	 new creds, are now const.
      
           (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), ->bprm_apply_creds()
      
           	 Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be
           	 killed if it's an error.
      
           (*) security_task_alloc(), ->task_alloc_security()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().
      
           (*) security_cred_free(), ->cred_free()
      
           	 New.  Free security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_prepare_creds(), ->cred_prepare()
      
           	 New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_commit_creds(), ->cred_commit()
      
           	 New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new
           	 security by commit_creds().
      
           (*) security_task_post_setuid(), ->task_post_setuid()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), ->task_fix_setuid()
      
           	 Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid().  This is used by
           	 cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with
           	 setuid() changes.  Changes are made to the new credentials, rather
           	 than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), ->task_reparent_to_init()
      
           	 Removed.  Instead the task being reparented to init is referred
           	 directly to init's credentials.
      
      	 NOTE!  This results in the loss of some state: SELinux's osid no
      	 longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.
      
           (*) security_key_alloc(), ->key_alloc()
           (*) security_key_permission(), ->key_permission()
      
           	 Changed.  These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to
           	 refer to the security context.
      
       (4) sys_capset().
      
           This has been simplified and uses less locking.  The LSM functions it
           calls have been merged.
      
       (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().
      
           This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using
           commit_thread() to point that way.
      
       (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()
      
           __sigqueue_alloc() can't stop the target task from changing its creds
           beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable
           user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if
           successful.
      
           switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be
           folded into that.  commit_creds() should take care of protecting
           __sigqueue_alloc().
      
       (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.
      
           The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and
           abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying
           it.
      
           security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section.  This
           guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we've finished.
      
           The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().
      
           Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into
           commit_creds().
      
           The get functions all simply access the data directly.
      
       (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().
      
           security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn't
           want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly
           rather than through an argument.
      
           Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even
           if it doesn't end up using it.
      
       (9) Keyrings.
      
           A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:
      
           (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have
           	 all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.
           	 They may want separating out again later.
      
           (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer
           	 rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.
      
           (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new
           	 thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread
           	 keyring.
      
           (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend
           	 the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.
      
           (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of
           	 credentials to be created, even though it's not strictly necessary for
           	 process or session keyrings (they're shared).
      
      (10) Usermode helper.
      
           The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its
           subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer.  This set
           of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process
           after it has been cloned.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and
           call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven't been used.  A
           special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided
           specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the
           supplied keyring as the new session keyring.
      
      (11) SELinux.
      
           SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM
           interface changes mentioned above:
      
           (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the
           	 current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock
           	 that covers getting the ptracer's SID.  Whilst this lock ensures that
           	 the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid
           	 until the lock is released, so there's no point doing it inside the
           	 lock.
      
      (12) is_single_threaded().
      
           This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into
           a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now
           wants to use it too.
      
           The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs
           with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn't good enough.  We really want
           to know if they're part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).
      
      (13) nfsd.
      
           The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the
           credentials it is going to use.  It really needs to pass the credentials
           down to the functions it calls, but it can't do that until other patches
           in this series have been applied.

      driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages · 346e15be
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.
      
      I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
      control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
      currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
      is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
      defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
      affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.
      
      The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
      is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
      can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.
      
      Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
      their own debug levels and flags.
      
      Usage:
      
      Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
      <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
      can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:
      
      	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
      		.
      		.
      		.
      
      	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
      	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not
      
      For example:
      
      	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
      	fixup enabled=1
      	driver enabled=0
      
      Enable a module:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Disable a module:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Enable all modules:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Disable all modules:
      
      	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
      
      Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
      debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
      disable command.

      task_current_syscall · bbc69863
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This adds the new function task_current_syscall() on machines where the
      asm/syscall.h interface is supported (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK).  It's
      exported for modules to use in the future.  This function safely samples
      the state of a blocked thread to collect what system call it is blocked
      in, and the six system call argument registers.

      ftrace: do not trace library functions · 2464a609
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions.
      
      We've already got a sizable list of exceptions:
      
       ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE
       # Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg
       # Also do not profile any debug utilities
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg
       CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg
       endif
      
      ... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed
      up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing
      hard to debug lockups.
      
      So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by
      default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes
      anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner.

      ftrace: fix lockup with MAXSMP · 9fa11137

      MAXSMP brings in lots of use of various bitops in smp_processor_id()

        calling  anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130
        initcall anon_inode_init+0x0/0x130 returned 0 after 0 msecs
        calling  acpi_event_init+0x0/0x57
        [ hard hang ]
      
      So exclude the bitops facilities from tracing.
