      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      mips,kgdb: fix recursive page fault with CONFIG_KPROBES · f0a996ee
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it
      crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds
      an extra die notifier in the page fault handler.  The crash signature
      looks like this:
      
      kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test
      KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed
      Call Trace:
      [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
      [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
      
      The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type
      is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed
      to happen.
