      proc: seqfile convert proc_pid_status to properly handle pid namespaces · df5f8314
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Currently we possibly lookup the pid in the wrong pid namespace.  So
      seq_file convert proc_pid_status which ensures the proper pid namespaces is
      passed in.

      Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
      BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
      between crashkernel area and already used memory.
      
      This patch:
      
      Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
      If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
      has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
      
      Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
      inside reserve_bootmem_core().

      timerfd: new timerfd API · 4d672e7a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
      
      int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
      int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
      		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
      		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
      int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
      
      The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
      parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
      
      The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
      retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
      NULL).
      
      The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
      is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.
      
      The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
      {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
      
      Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
      supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
      exercise the new timerfd APIs:

      After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the
      implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel
      configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this

      Add HAVE_KPROBES · 3f550096

      Linus:
      
      On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
      internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
      
              depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
      
      really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
      
      It would be much better to do
      
              depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
      
      in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
      have a
      
              bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                      default y
      
      in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
      and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
      clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
      which interface...
      
      Changelog:
      
      Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
      it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
      
              config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                      def_bool y
      
      instead, which is a bit denser.
      
      We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
      what "def_bool" is there for...
      
      - Use HAVE_KPROBES
      - Use a select
      
      - Yet another update :
      Moving to HAVE_* now.
