      [PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma · e6e5494c
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.

Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
single-stepping and other debugging features.

It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
VDSO).

There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO.  Newer
distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off.  Turning
it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.

There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
/proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
on/off.

(This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)

This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
started this patch and i completed it.

      [PATCH] suspend-to-ram: allow video options to be set at runtime · c255d844
      由 Pavel Machek 提交于 
      Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line.  That's
little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and
modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun.  It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).

This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

(akpm: Documentation updates for this new sysctl are pending..)

      [PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period. · 2a11ff06
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left.  Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory.  This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.

It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time.  If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.

This patch allows just that....

      [PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurable · 8ad4b1fb
      由 Rohit Seth 提交于 
      As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and
high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists.  This patch makes these two
variables configurable through /proc interface.

A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added.  This entry
controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for
each per cpu page list.  The min value for this is 8.  It means that we
don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any
single per_cpu_pagelist.

The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result.  It
is set to pcp->high/4.  The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8)

      [PATCH] drop-pagecache · 9d0243bc
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Add /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches.  When written to, this will cause the kernel to
discard as much pagecache and/or reclaimable slab objects as it can.  THis
operation requires root permissions.

It won't drop dirty data, so the user should run `sync' first.

Caveats:

a) Holds inode_lock for exorbitant amounts of time.

b) Needs to be taught about NUMA nodes: propagate these all the way through
   so the discarding can be controlled on a per-node basis.

This is a debugging feature: useful for getting consistent results between
filesystem benchmarks.  We could possibly put it under a config option, but
it's less than 300 bytes.

      [NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem. · 9fb9cbb1
      由 Yasuyuki Kozakai 提交于 
      The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4.  There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6.  We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.

In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.

The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here.  For example, these issues include:

1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
   ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
   in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
   messages

2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
   the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
   (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
   isn't feasible in ipv6

3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
   before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
   no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
   design

4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT

The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete.  Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.

      [PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709) · 330d57fb
      由 Al Viro 提交于 
      You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then
wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table.  Then fill it with pointers to your
function.  Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.

So this is at least an Oops and possibly more.  It does depend on an
interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
otherwise be.

      [NETROM]: Implement G8PZT Circuit reset for NET/ROM · e21ce8c7
      由 Ralf Baechle 提交于 
      NET/ROM is lacking a connection reset like TCP's RST flag which at times
may result in a connecting having to slowly timing out instead of just being
reset.  An earlier attempt to reset the connection by sending a
NR_CONNACK | NR_CHOKE_FLAG transport was inacceptable as it did result in
crashes of BPQ systems.  An alternative approach of introducing a new
transport type 7 (NR_RESET) has be implemented several years ago in
Paula Jayne Dowie G8PZT's Xrouter.

Implement NR_RESET for Linux's NET/ROM but like any messing with the state
engine consider this experimental for now and thus control it by a sysctl
(net.netrom.reset) which for the time being defaults to off.

      [PATCH] s390: spin lock retry · 951f22d5
      由 Martin Schwidefsky 提交于 
      Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax().  Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.

The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive.  For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer.  The default retry count is
1000.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      由 Robert Love 提交于 
      inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:

        * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
          that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
          open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
        * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
          directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
          the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
          stat structures.
        * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?

inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:

        * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
        * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
          you were watching is on was unmounted."
        * inotify can watch directories or files.

Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.
