      sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage · 268bb0ce
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
      iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
      uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
      obscure header file dependency.
      
      So this fixes things up a bit, using
      
         grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
         grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
      
      to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
      inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
      
      There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
      many core ones.

      pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init() · b460cbc5
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
      is_global_init() and is_container_init().
      
      A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
      
      A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
      is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
      compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
      initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
      
      Changelog:
      
      	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
      	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
      	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
      	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
      
      	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
      
      	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
      	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
      	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
      	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

      During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · dcca2bde
      Will Schmidt 提交于
      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
      state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
      application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
      that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
      than just the one thread.

      [IA64] Failure to grow RBS · e8c59c0c
      Andrew Burgess 提交于
      There is a bug in the ia64_do_page_fault code that can cause a failure
      to grow the register backing store, or any mapping that is marked as
      VM_GROWSUP if the mapping is the highest mapped area of memory.
      
      When the address accessed is below the first mapping the previous mapping
      is returned as NULL, and this case is handled.  However, when the address
      accessed is above the highest mapping the vma returned is NULL, this
      case is not handled correctly, and it fails to spot that this access
      might require an existing mapping to grow upwards.

      [PATCH] pidspace: is_init() · f400e198
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
      (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
      replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
      
      Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
      patches for now.
      
      Eric's original description:
      
      	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
      	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
      	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
      	->pid == 1.
      
      	Introduce is_init to capture this case.
      
      	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
      	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
      	process that has pid == 1.

      [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ · df67b3da
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
      support write only in hardware.
      
      While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
      support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
      example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
      
      "
              if (cause < 0) {
                      if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                              goto bad_area;
              } else if (!cause) {
                      /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                      if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                              goto bad_area;
              } else {
                      if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                              goto bad_area;
              }
      "
      
      Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
      mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
      ia64, x86_64 and x86.
      
      Additional discussion:
      
      Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
      The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
      read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
      
      Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
      creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
      arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
      and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
      will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
      attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
      brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
      on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
      
      According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
      implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
      archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
      suggesting.
      
      The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
      the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
      true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
      behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
      undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
      agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

      [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: kdebug die notification mechanism · 7213b252
      Anil S Keshavamurthy 提交于
      As many of you know that kprobes exist in the main line kernel for various
      architecture including i386, x86_64, ppc64 and sparc64.  Attached patches
      following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64.
      
      I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine.
       I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various
      templates including various types of branch instructions.
      
      I have also tested this patch using the tool
      http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the
      kprobes for IA64 works great.
      
      Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon.
      
      1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction
      2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address
      3) Support Return probes
      3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes
      
      This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes.
      
      For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value
      zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes
      for switch case zero.

      At the point in traps.c where we recieve a break with a zero value, we can
      not say if the break was a result of a kprobe or some other debug facility.
      
      This simple patch changes the informational string to a more correct "break
      0" value, and applies to the 2.6.12-rc2-mm2 tree with all the kprobes
      patches that were just recently included for the next mm cut.
