      [PATCH] ramfs: update dir mtime and ctime · 8dde0509
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Phil Marek <philipp.marek@bmlv.gv.at> points out that ramfs forgets to update
      a directory's mtime and ctime when it is modified.

      [PATCH] flags parameter for linkat · c04030e1
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
      incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition.  The name.
      Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.
      
      Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
      because it would break the ABI.  But the fact remains that some application
      might want this behavior.
      
      We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
       For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
      flags parameter.  If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
      behavior could be invoked.
      
      I do not want to introduce such a patch now.  But we could add the
      parameter now, just don't use it.  The patch below would do this.  Can we
      get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
      syscall API?

      [PATCH] select: fix returned timeval · 643a6545
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      With David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
      
      select() presently has a habit of increasing the value of the user's
      `timeout' argument on return.
      
      We were writing back a timeout larger than the original.  We _deliberately_
      round up, since we know we must wait at _least_ as long as the caller asks
      us to.
      
      The patch adds a couple of helper functions for magnitude comparison of
      timespecs and of timevals, and uses them to prevent the various poll and
      select functions from returning a timeout which is larger than the one which
      was passed in.
      
      The patch also fixes a bug in compat_sys_pselect7(): it was adding the new
      timeout value to the old one and was returning that.  It should just return
      the new timeout value.
      
      (We have various handy timespec/timeval-to-from-nsec conversion functions in
      time.h.  But this code open-codes it all).

      [PATCH] fstatat64 support · cff2b760
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
      used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline.  The result is that
      on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
      fstatat64.
      
      This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
      __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined.  I renamed the syscall entry point to make
      this clear.  Other archs will continue to use the existing code.  On x86-64
      the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.  this is what
      is done for the other stat syscalls as well.
      
      This patch might break some other archs (those which define
      __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall).  Yet others
      might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.  I really don't
      want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
      glibc, but the kernel is also affected).  It should be done by the arch
      maintainers.  I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly.  Those who are
      eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).
      
      The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.
