2007-02-12[PATCH] pid: remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_infoEric W. Biederman
Now that I have changed all of the in-tree users remove the old version of these functions. This should make it clear to any out of tree users that they should be using kill_pgrp kill_pgrp_info or __kill_pgrp_info instead. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pidEric W. Biederman
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to avoid hash table lookups. In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid spaces mixed everything will work correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] pid: replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphanedEric W. Biederman
Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current) which is racy with respect to another thread changing our process group. It didn't bite us because we were dealing with integers and the worse we would get would be a stale answer. In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and prepare the way for pid namespaces this race became apparent. So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned so I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] pid: make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_tEric W. Biederman
To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous. To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid pointer. To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my caller to hold the appropriate locks. Leaving callers repsonsible for increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of the locks. Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all. tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock. The logic there is a little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty to a struct pid pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-12[PATCH] kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messagesAlan Cox
The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging spew when the types clash. Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out the if clause that checks for mismatches. It'll then just do the right thing and work sanely. For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful). I've had a variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

2007-02-11[PATCH] order of lockdep off/on in vprintk() should be changedMathieu Desnoyers
The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in vprintk() should be changed. * In kernel/printk.c : vprintk() does : preempt_disable() local_irq_save() lockdep_off() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) lockdep_on() local_irq_restore() preempt_enable() The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save). It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock. It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the mark_lock() error handing path. We should change the locking so it becomes correct : preempt_disable() lockdep_off() local_irq_save() spin_lock(&logbuf_lock) spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock) if(!down_trylock(&console_sem)) up(&console_sem) local_irq_restore() lockdep_on() preempt_enable() Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-02-11[PATCH] use cycle_t instead of u64 in struct time_interpolatorHelge Deller
The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times. The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework. But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory. More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t" is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this patch a no-change for them).

2007-02-11[PATCH] Add TAINT_USER and ability to set taint flags from userspaceTheodore Ts'o
Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set. For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).

As indicated in a recent thread on Linux-PM, it's necessary to call pm_ops->finish() before devce_resume(), but enable_nonboot_cpus() has to be called before pm_ops->finish() (cf. http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html). For consistency, it seems reasonable to call disable_nonboot_cpus() after device_suspend(). This way the suspend code will remain symmetrical with respect to the resume code and it may allow us to speed up things in the future by suspending and resuming devices and/or saving the suspend image in many threads. The following series of patches reorders the suspend and resume code so that nonboot CPUs are disabled after devices have been suspended and enabled before the devices are resumed. It also causes pm_ops->finish() to be called after enable_nonboot_cpus() wherever necessary. This patch: Change the ordering of code in kernel/power/main.c so that device_suspend() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus() and pm_ops->finish() is called after enable_nonboot_cpus() and before device_resume(), as indicated by recent discussion on Linux-PM (cf. http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).

2007-02-11[PATCH] make reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bould not require CAP_SYS_MODULEEric Paris
Reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound requires CAP_SYS_MODULE. (see proc_dointvec_bset in kernel/sysctl.c) sysctl appears to drive all over proc reading everything it can get it's hands on and is complaining when it is being denied access to read cap-bound. Clearly writing to cap-bound should be a sensitive operation but requiring CAP_SYS_MODULE to read cap-bound seems a bit to strong. I believe the information could with reasonable certainty be obtained by looking at a bunch of the output of /proc/pid/status which has very low security protection, so at best we are just getting a little obfuscation of information. Currently SELinux policy has to 'dontaudit' capability checks for CAP_SYS_MODULE for things like sysctl which just want to read cap-bound. In doing so we also as a byproduct have to hide warnings of potential exploits such as if at some time that sysctl actually tried to load a module. I wondered if anyone would have a problem opening cap-bound up to read from anyone?

2007-02-11[PATCH] Drop free_pages()Christoph Lameter
nr_free_pages is now a simple access to a global variable. Make it a macro instead of a function. The nr_free_pages now requires vmstat.h to be included. There is one occurrence in power management where we need to add the include. Directly refrer to global_page_state() there to clarify why the #include was added.

2007-02-09devres: device resource managementTejun Heo
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-02-07msi: Kill the msi_desc array.Eric W. Biederman
We need to be able to get from an irq number to a struct msi_desc. The msi_desc array in msi.c had several short comings the big one was that it could not be used outside of msi.c. Using irq_data in struct irq_desc almost worked except on some architectures irq_data needs to be used for something else. So this patch adds a msi_desc pointer to irq_desc, adds the appropriate wrappers and changes all of the msi code to use them. The dynamic_irq_init/cleanup code was tweaked to ensure the new field is left in a well defined state. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-01-30[PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disasterSerge E. Hallyn
This is based on a patch by Eric W. Biederman, who pointed out that pid namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active. So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead, and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to work with. Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
