[PATCH] igrab() should check for I_CLEAR

When igrab() is calling __iget() on an inode it should check if
clear_inode() has been called on the inode already.  Otherwise there is a
race window between clear_inode() and destroy_inode() where igrab() calls
__iget() which leads to already free inodes on the inode lists.

[PATCH] uml: x86_64 ptrace fixes

This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64.  PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is
hooked up and implemented.  This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas
slightly to take a task_struct to modify.  Previously, it always operated on
current.

Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the
code that implements that.  It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so
the same code can be used.

[PATCH] uml: x86_64 thread fixes

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes.  What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.

The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file.  The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.

arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately.  There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.

[PATCH] uml: fix error output during early boot

The startup code panics a lot if anything goes wrong early on.  This is wrong
for several reasons, like the kernel isn't running, so you can't really be
calling into it yet, but the harm comes from useful error messages being
trapped in the printk ring where no one will ever see them.

This patch changes these panics to perror and printf in wrappers which also
exit.  Normal, informational, prints are also wrapped so that fflush(stdout)
is called after each one.  This is so the output appears in the correct
sequence in the event of an error.

The locking of the mconsole console output code was confused.  Now, the

[PATCH] uml: console locking fixes

Clean up the console driver locking.  There are various problems here,
including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are
fixed here.  This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes.
 The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration
can race with an open.  Changing a configuration should only be done when a
console isn't opened.  Also, an open must be looking at a stable
configuration.  In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same
locking since it must also see a stable configuration.  With the old locking,
it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would
block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the
lock needed by the mconsole request.

As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the
use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

Recent as(1) doesn't think that .  terminates a macro name, so getuser.l is
_not_ treated as invoking getuser with .l as the first argument.
arch/m68k/math-emu relies on old behaviour, so it gets a lot of undefined
macros with more or less current binutils.

Note that this behaviour remains in all recent versions and is unrelated to
another binutils problems we used to have for a while (having (%a0)+ parsed
as two arguments).  This one is there to stay; it's an intentional and
documented change.

.irp <identifier> <words>
[text]
.endr
expands to a copy of text per each word, with \<identifier> replaced with
corresponding word.  Again, what happens depends on whether gas_ident.x
is treated as one or as two tokens; in the former case we'll get old_gas
incremented once, in the latter - twice.  The rest is obvious.

Unlike .macro argument list _anything_ is explicitly allowed after
.irp <identifier>; here we are on very safe ground.  And yes, it does
work with all gas variants I've got here (including vanilla 2.15, 2.16,
2.16.1 and 2.17, plus debian and FC binutils).

This patch changes the SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl so that its first function,
PMOPS_PREPARE, only sets a switch turning the platform suspend mode on, and
its last function, PMOPS_FINISH, only checks if the platform mode is enabled.
This should allow the older userland tools to work with new kernels without
any modifications.

The changes here only affect the userland interface of swsusp.

[PATCH] PM: Change code ordering in main.c

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).

[PATCH] make reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bould not require CAP_SYS_MODULE

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?

17 years ago[PATCH] do not disturb page referenced state when unmapping memory range
Ken Chen [Sat, 10 Feb 2007 09:43:18 +0000 (01:43 -0800)]
[PATCH] do not disturb page referenced state when unmapping memory range

When kernel unmaps an address range, it needs to transfer PTE state into
page struct.  Currently, kernel transfer access bit via
mark_page_accessed().  The call to mark_page_accessed in the unmap path
doesn't look logically correct.

At unmap time, calling mark_page_accessed will causes page LRU state to be
bumped up one step closer to more recently used state.  It is causing quite
a bit headache in a scenario when a process creates a shmem segment, touch
a whole bunch of pages, then unmaps it.  The unmapping takes a long time
because mark_page_accessed() will start moving pages from inactive to
active list.

I'm not too much concerned with moving the page from one list to another in
LRU.  Sooner or later it might be moved because of multiple mappings from
various processes.  But it just doesn't look logical that when user asks a
range to be unmapped, it's his intention that the process is no longer
interested in these pages.  Moving those pages to active list (or bumping
up a state towards more active) seems to be an over reaction.  It also
prolongs unmapping latency which is the core issue I'm trying to solve.

As suggested by Peter, we should still preserve the info on pte young
pages, but not more.
