* setns:
ns: Wire up the setns system call
Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
addition of sendmmsg system call
|
|
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.
This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.
ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.
Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

When a DISCONTIGMEM memory range is brought online as a NUMA node, it
also needs to have its bet set in N_NORMAL_MEMORY. This is necessary for
generic kernel code that utilizes N_NORMAL_MEMORY as a subset of N_ONLINE
for memory savings.
These types of hacks can hopefully be removed once DISCONTIGMEM is either
removed or abstracted away from CONFIG_NUMA.
Fixes a panic in the slub code which only initializes structures for
N_NORMAL_MEMORY to save memory:

According to Appendix F, the TLB is the primary arbiter of speculation.
Thus, if a page has a TLB entry, it may be speculatively read into the
cache. On linux, this can cause us incoherencies because if we're about
to do a disk read, we call get_user_pages() to do the flush/invalidate
in user space, but we still potentially have the user TLB entries, and
the cache could speculate the lines back into userspace (thus causing
stale data to be used). This is fixed by purging the TLB entries before
we flush through the tmpalias space. Now, the only way the line could
be re-speculated is if the user actually tries to touch it (which is not
allowed).

Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
kernel page at all is eligible to be executed. This can cause a
theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
page into the I-Cache. If this speculated page is subsequently used
for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.
As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
executable. The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
is released.

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from
meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which
resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own
versions of show_mem():
lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem'
arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here
The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
all implementations to prevent this breakage.
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the
generic implementation.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by
other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different
on each architecture like below:
m68k:
big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps
h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa:
big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode
little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode
Others:
little-endian bitmaps
In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture
independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k.
CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use
native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu,
m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian
bitmaps do not select these options.
Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all
architectures.

This introduces CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE to tell whether to use generic
implementation of find_*_bit_le() in lib/find_next_bit.c or not.
For now we select CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE for all architectures which
enable CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT.
But m68knommu wants to define own faster find_next_zero_bit_le() and
continues using generic find_next_{,zero_}bit().

Make __get_user_pages return -EHWPOISON for HWPOISON page only if
FOLL_HWPOISON is specified. With this patch, the interested callers
can distinguish HWPOISON pages from general FAULT pages, while other
callers will still get -EFAULT for all these pages, so the user space
interface need not to be changed.
This feature is needed by KVM, where UCR MCE should be relayed to
guest for HWPOISON page, while instruction emulation and MMIO will be
tried for general FAULT page.
The idea comes from Andrew Morton.

futex: Sanitize futex ops argument types
futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API
futex: Remove redundant pagefault_disable in futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
futex: Avoid redudant evaluation of task_pid_vnr()
futex: Update futex_wait_setup comments about locking

New helpers: user_statfs() and fd_statfs(), taking userland pathname and
descriptor resp. and filling struct kstatfs. Syscalls of statfs family
(native, compat and foreign - osf and hpux on alpha and parisc resp.)
switched to those. Removes some boilerplate code, simplifies cleanup
on errors...

Change futex_atomic_op_inuser and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
prototypes to use u32 types for the futex as this is the data type the
futex core code uses all over the place.

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

This is useful for system management software so that it can kick
off things like gettys and everything that's started from a tty,
before we reuse it from/for something else or shut it down.
Without this ioctl it would have to temporarily become the owner of
the tty, then call vhangup() and then give it up again.
