      [PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrs · f549d6c1
      Stephen Smalley 提交于
      This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall
      back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not
      support xattrs natively.  This allows security modules to export the incore
      inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does
      not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch
      various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access.  The patch removes
      the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer
      needed.
      
      The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between
      the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one
      user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than
      -EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the
      operation anyway.  Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in
      the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore
      inode security state update directly.  In contrast, we do call fsnotify in
      both cases.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      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.

      [PATCH] kdump: Access dump file in elf format (/proc/vmcore) · 666bfddb
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      From: "Vivek Goyal" <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>
      
      o Support for /proc/vmcore interface. This interface exports elf core image
        either in ELF32 or ELF64 format, depending on the format in which elf headers
        have been stored by crashed kernel.
      o Added support for CONFIG_VMCORE config option.
      o Removed the dependency on /proc/kcore.
      
      From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
      
      This patch has been refactored to more closely match the prevailing style in
      the affected files.  And to clearly indicate the dependency between
      /proc/kcore and proc/vmcore.c
      
      From: Hariprasad Nellitheertha <hari@in.ibm.com>
      
      This patch contains the code that provides an ELF format interface to the
      previous kernel's memory post kexec reboot.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
