由 Ahmed S. Darwish 提交于
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module. User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen. LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux and SMACK to do so. Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.

/sys/fs is where we really want file system specific sysfs objects. Ocfs2-tools has been updated to look in /sys/fs/o2cb. We can maintain backwards compatibility with old ocfs2-tools by using a sysfs symlink. After some time (2 years), the symlink can be safely removed. This patch also adds documentation to make it easier for people to figure out what /sys/fs/o2cb is used for. Signed-off-by: NMark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature, the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs. Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet. Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the boot line can be used to enable it.

由 Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于
As shown by Gurudas Pai recently, we can put hugepages into the surplus state (by echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages), even when /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages is 0. This is actually correct, to allow the original goal (shrink the static pool to 0) to succeed (we are converting hugepages to surplus because they are in use). However, the documentation does not accurately reflect this case. Update it.

Show the current binary tape driver and mode options is sysfs. A file (options) is created in each directory in /sys/class/scsi_tape. The files contain masks showing the options.

Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every block speeds up some real applications considerably.

由 Paul Menage 提交于
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
