      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

      [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removal · 52393ccc
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
      code more and has no benefit.  Since it is not currently used in the
      kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
      
      All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
      while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
      still moot since it is not used anyway.
      
      Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
      tested)

      [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec · 877ce7c1
      Catherine Zhang 提交于
      This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
      label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
      recvmsg.
      
      Patch purpose:
      
      This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
      security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
      can then use this security context to determine the security context for
      processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
      
      Patch design and implementation:
      
      The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
      sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
      retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
      credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
      that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
      context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
      setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
      retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
      
      An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
      
      toggle = 1;
      toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
      
      setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
      recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
      if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
          cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
          if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
              memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
          }
      }
      
      sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
      a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
      
      Testing:
      
      We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
      applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
      using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

      __NR_sys_kexec_load should be __NR_kexec_load.  Mainly affects users of the
      _syscallN() macros, and glibc is already checking for __NR_kexec_load.

      [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT · c80d79d7
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
      each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
      NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.
      
      SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
      been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
      future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
      number.
      
      This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
      nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
      
      On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
      config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
      changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
      would be simpler.
