      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      inet: rename some inet_sock fields · c720c7e8
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      In order to have better cache layouts of struct sock (separate zones
      for rx/tx paths), we need this preliminary patch.
      
      Goal is to transfert fields used at lookup time in the first
      read-mostly cache line (inside struct sock_common) and move sk_refcnt
      to a separate cache line (only written by rx path)
      
      This patch adds inet_ prefix to daddr, rcv_saddr, dport, num, saddr,
      sport and id fields. This allows a future patch to define these
      fields as macros, like sk_refcnt, without name clashes.

      tcp: tcp_probe buffer overflow and incorrect return value · 8d390efd
      Tom Quetchenbach 提交于
      tcp_probe has a bounds-checking bug that causes many programs (less,
      python) to crash reading /proc/net/tcp_probe. When it outputs a log
      line to the reader, it only checks if that line alone will fit in the
      reader's buffer, rather than that line and all the previous lines it
      has already written.
      
      tcpprobe_read also returns the wrong value if copy_to_user fails--it
      just passes on the return value of copy_to_user (number of bytes not
      copied), which makes a failure look like a success.
      
      This patch fixes the buffer overflow and sets the return value to
      -EFAULT if copy_to_user fails.
      
      Patch is against latest net-2.6; tested briefly and seems to fix the
      crashes in less and python.

      [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace · 457c4cbc
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
      variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
      The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
      and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
      This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
      usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
      has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
      
      Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
      in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
      network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
      that are relevant to a single network namespace.

      [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable · 3a872d89
      Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 提交于
      In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
      
      o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
        The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
        architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
        to specify the ".symbols"
      o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
        specify an offset into a symbol.
      o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
        However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
        probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
      o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
        CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
      o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
        the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
        happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
      o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
        work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
        work, say, on powerpc)
