      [PATCH] uml: fix LVM crash · af84eab2
      Jason Lunz 提交于
      Permit lvm to create logical volumes without crashing UML.
      
      When device-mapper's DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD ioctl is called to create a new device,
      dev_create()->dm_create()->alloc_dev()-> blk_queue_bounce_limit(md->queue,
      BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) is called.
      
      blk_queue_bounce_limit(BLK_BOUNCE_ANY) calls init_emergency_isa_pool() if
      blk_max_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.  This is the case on UML, but
      init_emergency_isa_pool() hits BUG_ON(!isa_page_pool) because there doesn't
      seem to be a dma zone on UML for mempool_create() to allocate from.
      
      Most architectures seem to have max_low_pfn == max_pfn, but UML doesn't
      because of the uml_reserved chunk it keeps for itself.  From what I can see,
      max_pfn and max_low_pfn don't get much use after the bootmem-allocator stops
      being used anyway, except that they initialize the block layer's
      blk_max_low_pfn/blk_max_pfn.
      
      This ensures init_emergency_isa_pool() doesn't crash uml in this situation by
      setting max_low_pfn == max_pfn in mem_init().

      [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking · 24ec839c
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Fix the locking of signal->tty.
      
      Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
      by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
      or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
      
      (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
      
      Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
      tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
      are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
      access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
      
      It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
      
      (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
             be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
             it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
             invocations)

      [PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve · 3db03b4a
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
      instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
      get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
      architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
      remove these right away.

      [PATCH] namespaces: utsname: use init_utsname when appropriate · 96b644bd
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
      appropriate one to use.  This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
      helper.
      
      Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname().  Hope I picked all the
      	right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c.  These are now changed to
      	utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
      	patch (2/7)
