      Create arch/Kconfig · fb32e03f

      I don't think it's a good idea to go back to making it per-architecture,
      although that extensive "depends on <list-of-archiectures-here>" might
      indicate that there certainly is room for cleanup there.
      
      And I don't think it's wrong keeping it in kernel/Kconfig.xyz per se, I
      just think it's wrong to (a) lump the code together when it really doesn't
      necessarily need to and (b) show it to users as some kind of choice that
      is tied together (whether it then has common code or not).
      
      On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
      internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
      
              depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
      
      really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
      
      It would be much better to do
      
              depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
      
      in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
      have a
      
              bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                      default y
      
      in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
      and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
      clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
      which interface...
      
      Sam Ravnborg:
      
      Stuff it into a new file: arch/Kconfig
      We can then extend this file to include all the 'trailing'
      Kconfig things that are anyway equal for all ARCHs.
      
      But it should be kept clean - so if we introduce such a file
      then we should use ARCH_HAS_whatever in the arch specific Kconfig
      files to enable stuff that is not shared.
      
      [...]
      
      The above suggestion is actually not exactly the best way to do it...
      First the naming..
      A quick grep shows following usage today (in Kconfig files)
      ARCH_HAS        51
      ARCH_SUPPORTS   4
      HAVE_ARCH       7
      
      ARCH_HAS is the clear winner.
      
      In the common Kconfig file do:
      
      config FOO
              depends on ARCH_HAS_FOO
              bool "bla bla"
      
      config ARCH_HAS_FOO
              def_bool n
      
      In the arch specific Kconfig file in a suitable place do:
      
      config SUITABLE_OPTION
              select ARCH_HAS_FOO
      
      The naming of ARCH_HAS_ is fixed and shall be:
      ARCH_HAS_<config option it will enable>
      
      Only a single line added pr. architecture.
      And we will end up with a (maybe even commented) list of trivial selects.
      
      - Yet another update :
      
      Moving to HAVE_* now.

      security: remove security_sb_post_mountroot hook · bced9528
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      The security_sb_post_mountroot() hook is long-since obsolete, and is
      fundamentally broken: it is never invoked if someone uses initramfs.
      This is particularly damaging, because the existence of this hook has
      been used as motivation for not using initramfs.
      
      Stephen Smalley confirmed on 2007-07-19 that this hook was originally
      used by SELinux but can now be safely removed:

      sched: cpu accounting controller (V2) · d842de87
      Srivatsa Vaddagiri 提交于
      Commit cfb52856 removed a useful feature for
      us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller.  This feature would be
      useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
      really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.
      
      The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
      original patch (Commit 62d0df64), with
      these differences:
      
              - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
      	  to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
      	  2.6.25 after more discussions.
              - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
      	  stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
      	  classes
      	- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
      	  counter to be per-cpu
      	- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
      	  code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
      	  needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
      	  rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
      	  kernel/sched.c)
      
      The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
      information.
      Tested-by: NBalbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
       Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
       some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
       the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
       cpuacct.usage.

      pidns: Place under CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL · 57d5f66b
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single
      blow.
      
      After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this
      sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current
      pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple
      to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial
      pid namespace.
      
      Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the
      implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID
      namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.
      
      Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as
      they are minor.
      
      Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their
      kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

      revert "Task Control Groups: example CPU accounting subsystem" · cfb52856
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Revert 62d0df64.
      
      This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a
      control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make
      this clear enough to Andrew.
      
      The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage
      accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this
      patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a
      per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this
      patch actually provides it.  If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably
      have to support this interface for ever.

      [PATCH] audit: watching subtrees · 74c3cbe3
      Al Viro 提交于
      New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree".
      The part that can be sanely implemented, that is.  Limitations:
      	* if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch
      it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously)
      	* if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit
      that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees
      	* if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted
      elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there.  New command
      tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false
      positives.
      
      Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places
      (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does
      _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.
