2007-10-17handle the multi-threaded init's exit() properlyOleg Nesterov
With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported, but do_exit() is completely wrong. This becomes a real problem when we support pid namespaces. 1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the "if (group_dead)" check. Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because - do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate over all sub-thread's ->children lists - do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends the group-wide signal However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state) for this. 2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just remove it.

2007-10-17Deprecate a.out ELF interpretersAndi Kleen
The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up binfmt_elf.c up a bit. I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25. Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel. This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk warning users.

2007-10-17core_pattern: allow passing of arguments to user mode helper when ↵Neil Horman
core_pattern is a pipe A rewrite of my previous post for this enhancement. It uses jeremy's split_argv/free_argv library functions to translate core_pattern into an argv array to be passed to the user mode helper process. It also adds a translation to format_corename such that the origional value of RLIMIT_CORE can be passed to userspace as an argument.

2007-10-17core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipeNeil Horman
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Add in support for SunOS 4.1.x flavor of BSD 4.2 UFS filing system Macros have been put in to alow suport for the old static table Cylinder Groups but this implementation does not use them yet. This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links. Tested by: Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system. Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of files to the UFS partition. Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files. The test host is a sun4c SS1 Clone.

Commit 4004c69ad68dd03733179277280ea2946990ba36 avoids too many remote cpu references while reporting per-irq stats. Since we will not have the same performance penalty of bringing in remote cpu cachelines while reporting per-irq stats anymore, we can now afford to be consistent and report this statistic on all arches, all configs. akpm: affects ia64, alpha and ppc64, mainly. Kiran earlier said: Read to /proc/stat takes: Plain: 2.622832 With speedup patch: 0.013194 With the per-irq stats commented out: 0.008124 So the performance problems which originally caused those architectures to disable this statistic should now be fixed up.

2007-10-17ext2: show all mount optionsMiklos Szeredi
Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and use /proc/mounts instead. But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the options. It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so /etc/mtab will be broken in this case. This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

2007-10-17do_poll: return -EINTR when signalledOleg Nesterov
do_poll() checks signal_pending() but returns 0 when interrupted. This means the caller has to check signal_pending() again. Change it to return -EINTR when signal_pending() and count == 0.

2007-10-17do_sys_poll: simplify playing with on-stack dataOleg Nesterov
Cleanup. Lessens both the source and compiled code (100 bytes) and imho makes the code much more understandable. With this patch "struct poll_list *head" always points to on-stack stack_pps, so we can remove all "is it on-stack" and "was it initialized" checks. Also, move poll_initwait/poll_freewait and -EINTR detection closer to the do_poll()'s callsite.

2007-10-17fs/romfs/inode.c: trivial improvementsWANG Cong
- There are no lists in fs/romfs/inode.c, so using list_entry is a bit confusing. Replace it with container_of. - It is unnecessary to cast the return value of kmem_cache_alloc, since it returns a void* pointer.

2007-10-17nbd: change a parameter's type to remove a memcpy callDenis Cheng
This memcpy looks so strange, in fact it's merely a pointer dereference, so I change the parameter's type to refer it more directly, this could make the memcpy not needed anymore. In the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called, the parameter served should be transformed accordingly.

2007-10-17kill DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKEDChristoph Hellwig
DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED was used for semaphores used as completions and we've got rid of them. Well, except for one in libusual that the maintainer explicitly wants to keep as semaphore. So convert that useage to an explicit sema_init and kill of DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED so that new code is reminded to use a completion.
