2006-05-01[PATCH] audit inode patchSteve Grubb
Previously, we were gathering the context instead of the sid. Now in this patch, we gather just the sid and convert to context only if an audit event is being output. This patch brings the performance hit from 146% down to 23% Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-05-01[PATCH] support for context based audit filtering, part 2Darrel Goeddel
This patch provides the ability to filter audit messages based on the elements of the process' SELinux context (user, role, type, mls sensitivity, and mls clearance). It uses the new interfaces from selinux to opaquely store information related to the selinux context and to filter based on that information. It also uses the callback mechanism provided by selinux to refresh the information when a new policy is loaded. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-05-01[PATCH] support for context based audit filteringDarrel Goeddel
The following patch provides selinux interfaces that will allow the audit system to perform filtering based on the process context (user, role, type, sensitivity, and clearance). These interfaces will allow the selinux module to perform efficient matches based on lower level selinux constructs, rather than relying on context retrievals and string comparisons within the audit module. It also allows for dominance checks on the mls portion of the contexts that are impossible with only string comparisons.

2006-04-28[PATCH] s390: fix slab debuggingChristian Borntraeger
With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The problem is that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8. When using SLAB debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working. Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes a small amount of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.

2006-04-28[PATCH] s390: dasd ioctl never returnsHorst Hummel
The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device, since 'unformatted' is a final state. The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls dasd_enable_device() which never returns if the device is in this special state. Return -EPERM in dasd_increase_state for unformatted devices to make dasd_enable_device terminate. Note: To get such an unformatted device online it has to be re-analyzed. This means that the device needs to be disabled prior to re-enablement.

Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long "[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java... sort of" email thread. So we need to make this option harder to set. Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this. CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else obvious and avoiding these problems is more important than Kconfig purity.

2006-04-28[PATCH] enable X86_PC for HOTPLUG_CPUAshok Raj
CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI. - First we introduced no_broadcast option (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h) - x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386) since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI. - We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8 CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the above ARCH wasnt selected. So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386 until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done right.

2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc sectionAlan Modra
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc) section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc. Currently the module loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address of the .toc section to use in relocations. This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
