      replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode · 6b255391
      Al Viro 提交于
      new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link().  The differences
      are:
      	* inode and dentry are passed separately
      	* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
      the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
      	* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
      and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
      in non-RCU mode.
      
      It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
      converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
      do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
      in the next commits.

      don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem · 21fc61c7
      Al Viro 提交于
      kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
      an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking
      the system.
      
      new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache
      symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases.  page_follow_link_light()
      instrumented to yell about anything missed.

      coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumps · 5037835c
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to
      allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings.  This is desirable because
      DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very
      large.
      
      Update the coredump_filter documentation in
      Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX
      coredump flags.  Also update the documented default value of
      coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page.  The
      documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which
      is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the
      kernel config.  This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF
      binaries and coredump are enabled.

      ipconfig: send Client-identifier in DHCP requests · 26fb342c
      Li RongQing 提交于
      A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP
      addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of
      parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to
      identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies
      a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct
      parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is
      currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id,
      only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can
      not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available
      such as when the root filesystem is on NFS.
      
      This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type,
      client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to
      identify itself to the server.

      fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan · b2f73922
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
      the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
      leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:
      
              seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);
      
      The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
      KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:
      
      static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                                struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
      {
              unsigned long wchan;
              char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];
      
              wchan = get_wchan(task);
      
              if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
                      if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                              return 0;
                      seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
              } else {
                      seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
              }
      
              return 0;
      }
      
      This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
      to any local attacker:
      
        fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
        ffffffff8123b380
      
      Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:
      
        ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm
      
      and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:
      
        triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
        open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6
      
      There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
      absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
      by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
      (whether there's a wchan address).
      
      These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
      user-space would be interested in  the absolute address. The
      absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
      didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
      decoding itself via the System.map.
      
      So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
      symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.
      
      ( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
        perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

      mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mapping · 8334b962
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management
      on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory
      efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS.
      
      On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really
      hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss
      + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android).
      
      This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get
      more exact workingset size per process.
      
      Bongkyu tested it. Result is below.

      fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driver · c290ea01
      Jan Kara 提交于
      The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
      distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
      filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
      from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
      bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
      pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
      ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.

      new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions · 680baacb
      Al Viro 提交于
      a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
      an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
      that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
      the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
      symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
      is ignored in all cases except the last one.
      
      Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
      of ->put_link().
      
      b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
      Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
      to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
      to returning it.
