      tracing/syscalls: use a dedicated file header · 47788c58

      Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64
      
      Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings:
      
      CC      arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o
      In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55:
      arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:290:1: warning: "elf_check_arch" redefined
      In file included from include/linux/elf.h:7,
                       from include/linux/module.h:14,

                       from include/linux/syscalls.h:68,
                       from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:18:
      arch/ia64/include/asm/elf.h:19:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
      [...]
      
      sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
      to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.
      
      But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
      especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
      level headers.
      
      Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

      preadv/pwritev: Add preadv and pwritev system calls. · f3554f4b
      Gerd Hoffmann 提交于
      This patch adds preadv and pwritev system calls.  These syscalls are a
      pretty straightforward combination of pread and readv (same for write).
      They are quite useful for doing vectored I/O in threaded applications.
      Using lseek+readv instead opens race windows you'll have to plug with
      locking.
      
      Other systems have such system calls too, for example NetBSD, check
      here: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/preadv.2.html
      
      The application-visible interface provided by glibc should look like
      this to be compatible to the existing implementations in the *BSD family:
      
        ssize_t preadv(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
        ssize_t pwritev(int d, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt, off_t offset);
      
      This prototype has one problem though: On 32bit archs is the (64bit)
      offset argument unaligned, which the syscall ABI of several archs doesn't
      allow to do.  At least s390 needs a wrapper in glibc to handle this.  As
      we'll need a wrappers in glibc anyway I've decided to push problem to
      glibc entriely and use a syscall prototype which works without
      arch-specific wrappers inside the kernel: The offset argument is
      explicitly splitted into two 32bit values.
      
      The patch sports the actual system call implementation and the windup in
      the x86 system call tables.  Other archs follow as separate patches.

      signals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions · 43918f2b
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the
      container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from
      within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process).
      
      But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes
      in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a
      process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed.
      
      Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid
      namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/
      interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be
      possible or safe.
      
      This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by
      Oleg Nesterov.  The simplified semantics for container-init are:
      
      	- container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a
      	  descendant process.
      
      	- container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor
      	  namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able
      	  to terminate a descendant container).
      
      	- container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like
      	  SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP
      	  are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor
      	  namespace.
      
      This patch:
      
      Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from
      Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258).
      
      The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions.
      Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the
      functions can check the handler if they later need to.
      
      Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on
      patch.

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
      as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
      ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
      in module refcount underflow.
      
      We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
      and ->data.
      
      But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
      and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
      switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
      some thoughts.
      
      ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
      protection.
      
      rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
      And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
      We definitely don't want such modular code.
      
      Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
      
      So, let's nuke it.
      
      Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

      PM: Rework handling of interrupts during suspend-resume · 2ed8d2b3
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Use the functions introduced in by the previous patch,
      suspend_device_irqs(), resume_device_irqs() and check_wakeup_irqs(),
      to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and
      resume.  Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right
      before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented
      from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function,
      before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during
      resume).
      
      In addition, since the device interrups are now disabled before the
      CPU has turned all interrupts off and the CPU will ACK the interrupts
      setting the IRQ_PENDING bit for them, check in sysdev_suspend() if
      any wake-up interrupts are pending and abort suspend if that's the
      case.

      Eric pointed out that desc->affinity should be what the user requested,
      if it is at all possible to honor the user space request.
      
      This bug got introduced by commit 22f65d31 "x86: Update io_apic.c to use
