      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.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      m32r: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() · 3883e301
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
      retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
      incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
      pending in the shared queue.
      
      Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0
      ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
      which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
      successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code
      across architectures.  In the past some architectures got this code wrong,
      so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

      ns: Wire up the setns system call · 7b21fddd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
      at closely and I can't find any problems.
      
      setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
      don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
      
      While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
      very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
      the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
      in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
      behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
      the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
      call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
      call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
      new in the 2.6.39.
      
      v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
      v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
      v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
      v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
      v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
      v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

      extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata · a2d063ac
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
      passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
      return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
      
      Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
      without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
      volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
      
      This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
      ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
      data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
      otherwise.
      
      Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
      and document the function.

      percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE · 0415b00d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
      percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
      addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
      former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
      image.
      
      The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
      define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
      Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
      percpu memory alignment.
      
      This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
      PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
      add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
      reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
      in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
      there.
      
      For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
      is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
      
      This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
      failure on mn10300.

      Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
