      [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid · 9ec52099
      Cedric Le Goater 提交于
      There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled.  The
      ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them.  It kills a task, usually init, using a
      cached pid (cad_pid).
      
      This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
      problem.  The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
      modified through systctl with
      
      	/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid
      
      [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]
      
      It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
      where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

      [PATCH] remove remaining errno and __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ references · 135ab6ec
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition
      and everything referring to it.  This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c
      file that was introduced earlier.
      
      Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the
      kernel.

      [PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execve · 3db03b4a
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
      instead returns the result code directly.  Rename these to kernel_execve to
      get the right semantics there.  Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
      architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
      remove these right away.

      [PATCH] Linux Kernel Dump Test Module · 8bb31b9d
      Ankita Garg 提交于
      A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism.  This module uses
      jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points.  At different crash
      points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
      panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow.  The user can
      activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
      time of module insertion.  Please see the file header for usage
      information.  The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
      Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.
      
      This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
      context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
      all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
      tasklet_action().

      [PATCH] usb: fixup usb so it uses struct pid · 2425c08b
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is
      possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur.
      Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for
      implementing a pid namespace.
      
      Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename
      kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take
      a struct pid.

      [PATCH] const struct tty_operations · b68e31d0
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
      structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
      structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
      without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
      tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
      be fixed.
      
      This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
      cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
      extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
      warnings.
      
      53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
      most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
      last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

      [PATCH] vt: Make vt_pid a struct pid (making it pid wrap around safe). · bde0d2c9
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid
      is the console semaphore.  Every modified path is called under the console
      semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of
      which appear to be in interrupt context.  In addition I need to be careful
      because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily
      dropped.
      
      Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs.
      
      Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of
      introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to
      signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the
      struct pid * pointer instead.
      
      Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except
      for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling.  SAK handling should
      kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken
      anyway.  Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong
      signal.

      This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test

      This patch does several things.
      - The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h
      - A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values.
      - Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against
        pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.
