      sanitize rt_sigaction() situation a bit · eaca6eae
      Al Viro 提交于
      	Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite
      (!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that
      need it are alpha and sparc.  The reason for use of CONFIG_...
      instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side
      and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many
      architectures.

      ALPHA: drivers: remove __dev* attributes. · f8d6c8d9
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
      markings need to be removed.
      
      This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
      and __devexit from these drivers.
      
      Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
      in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

      mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB · 42d7395f
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or
      SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on
      others.  This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving
      on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings.
      
      This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow
      specifying the page size.
      
      It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows
      encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB
      flag.  When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the
      change fully compatible.
      
      Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward.
      Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the
      right mount based on the specified page size.  When no page size is
      specified it uses the mount of the default page size.
      
      The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't
      appear there.  It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts
      just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used.
      
      I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously
      under __KERNEL__).  Right now only symbols for x86 and some other
      architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined.  The interface should already
      work for all other architectures though.  Only architectures that define
      multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile,
      powerpc).  However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb
      sizes, so it's not easy to add defines.  A program on those
      architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

      TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers · 191c5f10
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
      not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
      called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
      with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
      assumption.
      
      To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
      the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
      This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
      This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

      sk-filter: Add ability to get socket filter program (v2) · a8fc9277
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get
      ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less
      irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This
      ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to
      save full state of a socket.
      
      There are two issues with getting filter back.
      
      First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in
      order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it
      into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question
      is interconvertible.
      
      Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to
      speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k).
      Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we
      can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have
      to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, that
      
        reciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k
      
      i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly
      the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like this
      
        user2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k)
      
      with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1.
      
      The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns
      the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be
      large enough for the sock_fprog array.

      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handling · 7721d3c2
      Al Viro 提交于
      In case we have both NEED_RESCHED and SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME,
      handle the latter first.  We'll get to original priorities in
      the next commit, but now that allows to simplify the treatment
      of NEED_RESCHED-only case nicely.  Namely, now there no need to
      preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in
      $work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned
      from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've
      had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or
      already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we
      want no restarts anymore).  So we can just slap 0 into $19
      instead of preserving it (and $20).

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
      currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
      
       | effect                 | alternative flags
      -+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
      1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
      2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
      3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      
      This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
      cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
      reduces total_vm showed in proc.
      
      Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
      
      remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
      remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
