When the main thread of a thread group has done pthread_exit() and died,
the other threads are still happily running, but will not be visible
under /proc because their leader is no longer accessible.
This fixes the access control so that we can see the sub-threads again.

With the use of RCU in files structure, the look-up of files using fds can now
be lock-free. The lookup is protected by rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock().
This patch changes the readers to use lock-free lookup.

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

Add a "smaps" entry to /proc/pid: show howmuch memory is resident in each
mapping.
People that want to perform a memory consumption analysing can use it
mainly if someone needs to figure out which libraries can be reduced for
embedded systems. So the new features are the physical size of shared and
clean [or dirty]; private and clean [or dirty].

show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.
The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer. Now the final
if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */
m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;
is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2
I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration. There was a
small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the
display of the locality of the pages in use by a process. I reworked that
patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information
about the vma's of a process. numa_maps is indexes by the start address
found in /proc/<pid>/maps. F.e. with this patch you can see the page use
of the "getty" process:

Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl:
This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid
or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are
0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed
privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped
1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is
owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended
for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.
2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but
not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will
not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when
adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.
(akpm:

No problem to me.

Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines
should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go
everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used
as a bool in untouched code)

Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat
rather than for merging. Changing that field would create a gigantic
diff because it is used all over the place.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a
hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a
single child task.
It's fairly obvious that this doesn't work out correctly when a PID has
more than one child task, which is quite often the case.

The pid directories in /proc/ currently return the wrong hardlink count - 3,
when there are actually 4 : ".", "..", "fd", and "task".
This is easy to notice using find(1):
cd /proc/<pid>
find
In the output, you'll see a message similar to:
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for .: this may be a bug in your
filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.
Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have
been searched.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
