      [PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctl · 13bb7e37
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl.  It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.

Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.

Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.

Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.

Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.

So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.

With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it.  Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

      [PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irq · 6e213616
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_
flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags.

This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit
field values.

This patch:

Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to
IRQF_ .  This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace
and allows to remove the architecture dependencies.

SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely.

The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be
removed after a 6 month grace period.

      [PATCH] sbp2: consolidate workarounds · 24d3bf88
      由 Stefan Richter 提交于 
      Grand unification of the three types of workarounds we have so far.

The "skip mode page 8" workaround is now limited to devices which
pretend to be of TYPE_DISK instead of TYPE_RBC. This workaround is no
longer enabled for Initio bridges.

Patch update in anticipation of more workarounds:
 - Add module parameter "workarounds".
 - Deprecate parameter "force_inquiry_hack".
 - Compose the blacklist of a compound type for better readability and
   extensibility.
 - Remove a now unused #define.

      [PATCH] Validate and sanitze itimer timeval from userspace · 7d99b7d6
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      According to the specification the timevals must be validated and an
errorcode -EINVAL returned in case the timevals are not in canonical form.
This check was never done in Linux.

The pre 2.6.16 code converted invalid timevals silently.  Negative timeouts
were converted by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion to the maximum timeout.

hrtimers and the ktime_t operations expect timevals in canonical form.
Otherwise random results might happen on 32 bits machines due to the
optimized ktime_add/sub operations.  Negative timeouts are treated as
already expired.  This might break applications which work on pre 2.6.16.

To prevent random behaviour and API breakage the timevals are checked and
invalid timevals sanitized in a simliar way as the pre 2.6.16 code did.

Invalid timevals are reported with a per boot limited number of kernel
messages so applications which use this misfeature can be corrected.

After a grace period of one year the sanitizing should be replaced by a
correct validation check.  This is also documented in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

The validation and sanitizing is done inside do_setitimer so all callers
(sys_setitimer, compat_sys_setitimer, osf_setitimer) are catched.
