Introduce a new kernel parameter `coredump_filter'. Setting a value to this parameter causes the default bitmask of coredump_filter to be changed. It is useful for users to change coredump_filter settings for the whole system at boot time. Without this parameter, users have to change coredump_filter settings for each /proc/<pid>/ in an initializing script.

Allows kprobes to probe __exit routine. This adds flags member to struct kprobe. When module is freed(kprobes hooks module_notifier to get this event), kprobes which probe the functions in that module are set to "Gone" flag to the flags member. These "Gone" probes are never be enabled. Users can check the GONE flag through debugfs. This also removes mod_refcounted, because we couldn't free a module if kprobe incremented the refcount of that module.

f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep. It's because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake interface can now use custom wake up functions. The non-sleep restriction can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong. This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events. The only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and negligible. This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement non-sleeping poll method. While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and select.c checkpatch friendly. * s/type * symbol/type *symbol/ : three places in poll.h * remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c Oleg: spotted missing barrier in poll_schedule_timeout() Davide: spotted missing write barrier in pollwake() Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Cc: Ron Minnich <rminnich@sandia.gov> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: NMiklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Brad Boyer <flar@allandria.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

由 Hugh Dickins 提交于
An unfortunate feature of the Unevictable LRU work was that reclaiming an anonymous page involved an extra scan through the anon_vma: to check that the page is evictable before allocating swap, because the swap could not be freed reliably soon afterwards. Now try_to_free_swap() has replaced remove_exclusive_swap_page(), that's not an issue any more: remove try_to_munlock() call from shrink_page_list(), leaving it to try_to_munmap() to discover if the page is one to be culled to the unevictable list - in which case then try_to_free_swap(). Update unevictable-lru.txt to remove comments on the try_to_munlock() in shrink_page_list(), and shorten some lines over 80 columns.

由 David Rientjes 提交于
This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm: dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes. dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio. With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of dirtyable memory over the entire system. dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback. When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback. dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of dirtyable memory: dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory AND dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read. The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units. Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page. Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the dirty threshold.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all the memory sections located on nodeX. For example: /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1. Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state' that were previously not described there. In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with the maximum possible amount of physical location information for resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by this change. Immediate: - Provides information needed to determine the specific node on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out. - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory could be ugly. - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes. Future: - Will provide information needed to identify the memory sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal of a specific node. Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

由 Paul Moore 提交于
This patch is the first step towards removing the old "compat_net" code from the kernel. Secmark, the "compat_net" replacement was first introduced in 2.6.18 (September 2006) and the major Linux distributions with SELinux support have transitioned to Secmark so it is time to start deprecating the "compat_net" mechanism. Testing a patched version of 2.6.28-rc6 with the initial release of Fedora Core 5 did not show any problems when running in enforcing mode. This patch adds an entry to the feature-removal-schedule.txt file and removes the SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT configuration option, forcing Secmark on by default although it can still be disabled at runtime. The patch also makes the Secmark permission checks "dynamic" in the sense that they are only executed when Secmark is configured; this should help prevent problems with older distributions that have not yet migrated to Secmark.
