2006-10-04[PATCH] arch filter lists with < or > should not be acceptedEric Paris1-1/+8
Currently the kernel audit system represents arch's as numbers and will gladly accept comparisons between archs using >, <, >=, <= when the only thing that makes sense is = or !=. I'm told that the next revision of auditctl will do this checking but this will provide enforcement in the kernel even for old userspace. A simple command to show the issue would be to run auditctl -d entry,always -F arch>i686 -S chmod with this patch the kernel will reject this with -EINVAL Please comment/ack/nak as soon as possible. -Eric kernel/auditfilter.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <[email protected]>

2006-10-03[PATCH] sched: cleanup sched_group cpu_power setupSiddha, Suresh B1-63/+82
Up to now sched group's cpu_power for each sched domain is initialized independently. This made the setup code ugly as the new sched domains are getting added. Make the sched group cpu_power setup code generic, by using domain child field and new domain flag in sched_domain. For most of the sched domains(except NUMA), sched group's cpu_power is now computed generically using the domain properties of itself and of the child domain. sched groups in NUMA domains are setup little differently and hence they don't use this generic mechanism.

2006-10-03[PATCH] sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpusNick Piggin1-2/+11
Force /sbin/init off isolated cpus (unless every CPU is specified as an isolcpu). Users seem to think that the isolated CPUs shouldn't have much running on them to begin with. That's fair enough: intuitive, I guess. It also means that the cpu affinity masks of tasks will not include isolcpus by default, which is also more intuitive, perhaps. /sbin/init is spawned from the boot CPU's idle thread, and /sbin/init starts the rest of userspace. So if the boot CPU is specified to be an isolcpu, then prior to this patch, all of userspace will be run there. (throw in a couple of plausible devinit -> cpuinit conversions I spotted while we're here).

2006-10-03[PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()Franck Bui-Huu2-44/+82
Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol and its module's name it belongs. This is specially true in arch specific code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops (mips is an example). In this specific case, we just need to retreive the function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it. Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to store any names. It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement patches build on IA64. This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should be fixed in a different manner. Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat().

2006-10-02[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pidCedric Le Goater2-6/+30
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

2006-10-02[PATCH] introduce kernel_execveArnd Bergmann1-3/+2
The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno variable. As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code. This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the kernel syscalls are gone.

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

2006-10-02[PATCH] Define struct pspaceSukadev Bhattiprolu1-22/+31
Define a per-container pid space object. And create one instance of this object, init_pspace, to define the entire pid space. Subsequent patches will provide/use interfaces to create/destroy pid spaces. Its a subset/rework of Eric Biederman's patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/285 .

2006-10-02[PATCH] Move pidmap to pspace.hSukadev Bhattiprolu1-6/+1
Move struct pidmap and PIDMAP_ENTRIES to a new file, include/linux/pspace.h where it will be used in subsequent patches to define pid spaces.

2006-10-02[PATCH] pids coding style use struct pidmap in next_pidmapEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
Use struct pidmap instead of pidmap_t. This updates my proc: readdir race fix (take 3) patch to account for the changes made by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <[email protected]> to kill pidmap_t.

2006-10-02[PATCH] file: modify struct fown_struct to use a struct pidEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
File handles can be requested to send sigio and sigurg to processes. By tracking the destination processes using struct pid instead of pid_t we make the interface safe from all potential pid wrap around problems. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] pid: export the symbols needed to use struct pid *Eric W. Biederman1-0/+3
pids aren't something that drivers should care about. However there are a lot of helper layers in the kernel that do care, and are built as modules. Before I can convert them to using struct pid instead of pid_t I need to export the appropriate symbols so they can continue to be built. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] pid: implement signal functions that take a struct pid *Eric W. Biederman1-10/+47
Currently the signal functions all either take a task or a pid_t argument. This patch implements variants that take a struct pid *. After all of the users have been update it is my intention to remove the variants that take a pid_t as using pid_t can be more work (an extra hash table lookup) and difficult to get right in the presence of multiple pid namespaces. There are two kinds of functions introduced in this patch. The are the general use functions kill_pgrp and kill_pid which take a priv argument that is ultimately used to create the appropriate siginfo information, Then there are _kill_pgrp_info, kill_pgrp_info, kill_pid_info the internal implementation helpers that take an explicit siginfo. The distinction is made because filling out an explcit siginfo is tricky, and will be even more tricky when pid namespaces are introduced. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
