      coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP · accb61fe
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
      for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
      MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
      memory regions which should not dump core.
      
      The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
      that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
      might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
      make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
      MADV_DODUMP.

      sock: Introduce the SO_PEEK_OFF sock option · ef64a54f
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      This one specifies where to start MSG_PEEK-ing queue data from. When
      set to negative value means that MSG_PEEK works as ususally -- peeks
      from the head of the queue always.
      
      When some bytes are peeked from queue and the peeking offset is non
      negative it is moved forward so that the next peek will return next
      portion of data.
      
      When non-peeking recvmsg occurs and the peeking offset is non negative
      is is moved backward so that the next peek will still peek the proper
      data (i.e. the one that would have been picked if there were no non
      peeking recv in between).
      
      The offset is set using per-proto opteration to let the protocol handle
      the locking issues and to check whether the peeking offset feature is
      supported by the protocol the socket belongs to.

      net: add wireless TX status socket option · 6e3e939f
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      The 802.1X EAPOL handshake hostapd does requires
      knowing whether the frame was ack'ed by the peer.
      Currently, we fudge this pretty badly by not even
      transmitting the frame as a normal data frame but
      injecting it with radiotap and getting the status
      out of radiotap monitor as well. This is rather
      complex, confuses users (mon.wlan0 presence) and
      doesn't work with all hardware.
      
      To get rid of that hack, introduce a real wifi TX
      status option for data frame transmissions.
      
      This works similar to the existing TX timestamping
      in that it reflects the SKB back to the socket's
      error queue with a SCM_WIFI_STATUS cmsg that has
      an int indicating ACK status (0/1).
      
      Since it is possible that at some point we will
      want to have TX timestamping and wifi status in a
      single errqueue SKB (there's little point in not
      doing that), redefine SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING
      to SO_EE_ORIGIN_TXSTATUS which can collect more
      than just the timestamp; keep the old constant
      as an alias of course. Currently the internal APIs
      don't make that possible, but it wouldn't be hard
      to split them up in a way that makes it possible.
      
      Thanks to Neil Horman for helping me figure out
      the functions that add the control messages.

      compat: sync compat_stats with statfs. · 1448c721
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
      bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
      since decemeber.
      
      - This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
        were cleared on mips and s390.
      - Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
      - Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
      - Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
        to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
        On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
        architectures f_spare only has 4 ints.  Which makes
        the previous technique of clearing each int individually
        broken.
      
      I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
      call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
      the compat and the native version working the same.

      doc: fix broken references · 395cf969
      Paul Bolle 提交于
      There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
      Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
      caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
      Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.
      
      Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
      they were part of.

      treewide: fix potentially dangerous trailing ';' in #defined values/expressions · 497888cf
      Phil Carmody 提交于
      All these are instances of
        #define NAME value;
      or
        #define NAME(params_opt) value;
      
      These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
        if(foo $OP NAME)
        while(bar $OP NAME)
      and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
        foo = NAME + 1;    /* foo = value; + 1; */
        bar = NAME - 1;    /* bar = value; - 1; */
        baz = NAME & quux; /* baz = value; & quux; */

      Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.
      
      There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
      trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
      values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
      in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)
