      kernel/sysctl.c: add cap_last_cap to /proc/sys/kernel · 73efc039
      Dan Ballard 提交于
      Userspace needs to know the highest valid capability of the running
      kernel, which right now cannot reliably be retrieved from the header files
      only.  The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now
      creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files
      which are run on older kernels.  They assume capabilities are available
      which actually aren't.  libcap-ng is one example.  And we ran into the
      same problem with systemd too.
      
      Now the capability is exported in /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap.

      arch/tile: support signal "exception-trace" hook · 571d76ac
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change adds support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace to tile.
      Like x86 and sparc, by default it is set to "1", generating a one-line
      printk whenever a user process crashes.  By setting it to "2", we get
      a much more complete userspace diagnostic at crash time, including
      a user-space backtrace, register dump, and memory dump around the
      address of the crash.
      
      Some vestiges of the Tilera-internal version of this support are
      removed with this patch (the show_crashinfo variable and the
      arch_coredump_signal function).  We retain a "crashinfo" boot parameter
      which allows you to set the boot-time value of exception-trace.

      capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers · 17f60a7d
      Eric Paris 提交于
      There is no way to limit the capabilities of usermodehelpers. This problem
      reared its head recently when someone complained that any user with
      cap_net_admin was able to load arbitrary kernel modules, even though the user
      didn't have cap_sys_module.  The reason is because the actual load is done by
      a usermode helper and those always have the full cap set.  This patch addes new
      sysctls which allow us to bound the permissions of usermode helpers.
      
      /proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/bset
      /proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/inheritable
      
      You must have CAP_SYS_MODULE  and CAP_SETPCAP to change these (changes are
      &= ONLY).  When the kernel launches a usermodehelper it will do so with these
      as the bset and pI.
      
      -v2:	make globals static
      	create spinlock to protect globals
      
      -v3:	require both CAP_SETPCAP and CAP_SYS_MODULE

      unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare() · dfef6dcd
      Al Viro 提交于
      a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
      however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
      Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
      provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
      the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
      and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().
      
      b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
      dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
      dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
      negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
      that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
      Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

      Rik van Riel 提交于
      Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair.  This
      allows us to skip onto the next highest priority se at every
      level in the CFS tree, unless doing so would introduce gross
      unfairness in CPU time distribution.
      
      We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check
      yield first, then last, then next.  We need next to be able
      to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and
      "yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree
      of the CFS tree.  When they are, we need to go into that
      sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct
      entity once we get to the right level.

      sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups · 5091faa4
      Mike Galbraith 提交于
      A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
      a negative impact on desktop interactivity.  This patch
      implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
      groups.  Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
      but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.
      
      Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
      pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
      pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
      init_task_group.  When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
      is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
      reference to the preveious task group is dropped.  Child
      processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
      refcount.  When the last thread of a process exits, the
      process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
      referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.
      
      At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
      its current autogroup is used.
      
      Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
      through the proc filesystem:
      
        cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup
      
      Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
      
        echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup
      
      Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
      Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
      abuse risk of task group locking.
      
      The feature is enabled from boot by default if
      CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
      the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
      the fly via:
      
        echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
      
      ... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

      x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove the old nmi_watchdog · 5f2b0ba4
      Don Zickus 提交于
      Now that we have a new nmi_watchdog that is more generic and
      sits on top of the perf subsystem, we really do not need the old
      nmi_watchdog any more.
      
      In addition, the old nmi_watchdog doesn't really work if you are
      using the default clocksource, hpet.  The old nmi_watchdog code
      relied on local apic interrupts to determine if the cpu is still
      alive.  With hpet as the clocksource, these interrupts don't
      increment any more and the old nmi_watchdog triggers false
      postives.
      
      This piece removes the old nmi_watchdog code and stubs out any
      variables and functions calls.  The stubs are the same ones used
      by the new nmi_watchdog code, so it should be well tested.

      We were seeing a failure which prevented boot.  The kernel was incapable
