      [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel · f0d1b0b3
      David Howells 提交于
      This facility provides three entry points:
      
      	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
      	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
      	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64
      
      These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
      
      	int do_something(long q)
      	{
      		...;
      		y = ilog2(x)
      		...;
      	}
      
      Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
      
      	unsigned n = ilog2(27);
      
      When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
      initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
      something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
      unsigned.
      
      When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
      them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
      x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

      [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking · 24ec839c
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Fix the locking of signal->tty.
      
      Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
      by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
      or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
      
      (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
      
      Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
      tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
      are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
      access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
      
      It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
      
      (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
             be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
             it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
             invocations)

      [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page · 39dde65c
      Chen, Kenneth W 提交于
      Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken.  This
      set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
      
      The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
      independent processes sharing large shared memory segments.  In the normal
      page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
      significant.  For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
      objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
      significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
      to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
      
      With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
      consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
      gets much higher cache hit ratio.  One other effect is that cache hit ratio
      with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
      helps to reduce tlb miss latency.  These two effects contribute to higher
      application performance.

      When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I
      forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS.  The current situation is error-prone
      because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit
      checks are enforced.  Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to
      make this mistake much more difficult to make.

      [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers · afefdbb2
      David Howells 提交于
      These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
      communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
      because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
      for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
      automatically where the arch supports it.
      
      Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
      number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
      failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
      so overlaps occur.
      
      This patch:
      
      Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
      inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.
      
      The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
      available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
      number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
      error EOVERFLOW will be issued.
      
      Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
      number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
      directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.
      
      Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
      system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
      there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.
      
      Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
      32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
      same reasons.
      
      It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
      uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
      exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
      unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

      [PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures · fe74290d
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
      _syscall3() to implement execve.
      
      The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
      unistd.h header file.  I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
      architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.
      
      Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
      by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
      it for now.

      The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the
