keios d3717bdf8f [PATCH] low performance of lib/sort.c
It is a non-standard heap-sort algorithm implementation because the index
of child node is wrong .  The sort function still outputs right result, but
the performance is O( n * ( log(n) + 1 ) ) , about 10% ~ 20% worse than
standard algorithm.

Franck Bui-Huu ffc5089196 [PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()
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.

David Howells afefdbb28a [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
automatically where the arch supports it.

Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
so overlaps occur.

This patch:

Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.

The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
error EOVERFLOW will be issued.

Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.

Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.

Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
same reasons.

It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

Krishna Kumar 6e35aabee1 RDMA/cma: Fix device removal race
The race is as follows:

A process : cma_process_remove() calls cma_remove_id_dev(),
	    which sets id state to CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL and
	    calls wait_event(dev_remove).

B process : cma_req_handler() had incremented dev_remove,
	    and calls cma_acquire_ib_dev() and on failure
	    calls cma_release_remove(), which does a
	    wake_up of cma_process_remove(). Then
	    cma_req_handler() calls rdma_destroy_id();

A Process : cma_remove_id_dev() gets woken and checks the
	    state of id, and since it is still (wrongly)
	    CMA_DEVICE_REMOVAL, it calls notify_user(id)
	    and if that fails, the caller - cma_process_remove()
	    calls rdma_destroy_id(id). Two processes can
	    call rdma_destroy_id(), resulting in one
	    de-referencing kfreed id_priv.

Fix is for process B to set CMA_DESTROYING in cma_req_handler()
so that process A will return instead of doing a rdma_destroy_id().

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().

This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and

Cedric Le Goater 9ec52099e4 [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid
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.

It was pointed out that since I am taking ARRAY_SIZE anyway the trailing empty
entry is silly and just wastes space.

Oleg Nesterov b0fa9db6ab [PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()
task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent.  However
task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order

	1) release_task(task)
	2) release_task(task->parent)
	3) a grace period passed

But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive()
can't be true in such a case.

Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us.

Oleg Nesterov a593d6edeb [PATCH] proc: convert do_task_stat() to use lock_task_sighand()
Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data
(including sub-threads traversal) except:

	->signal->tty
		protected by tty_mutex

	->real_parent
		the task can't be unhashed while we are holding
		->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us
		but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock()

	->pgrp/->session
		we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does
		sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this
		is acceptable.

Eric W. Biederman 72d9dcfc7a [PATCH] proc: Merge proc_tid_attr and proc_tgid_attr
The implementation is exactly the same and there is currently nothing to
distinguish proc_tid_attr, and proc_tgid_attr.  So it is pointless to have two
separate implementations.

Eric W. Biederman 61a2878402 [PATCH] proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers
The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability,
its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system.  /proc limits
pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems,
and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing
subdirectories of per process information.

Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we
haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really
succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number.  The pid is
already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it
from the inode number.

So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the
/proc inode it is almost certainly broken.

Eric W. Biederman 444ceed8d1 [PATCH] proc: Factor out an instantiate method from every lookup method
To remove the hard coded proc inode numbers it is necessary to be able to
create the proc inodes during readdir.  The instantiate methods are the subset
of lookup that is needed to accomplish that.

This first step just splits the lookup methods into 2 functions.

Eric W. Biederman 801199ce80 [PATCH] proc: Make the generation of the self symlink table driven
This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to
processes but live in the root directory of /proc

Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific
parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on
files that are not strictly per process.  security_task_to_inode really needs
to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we
are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem.

By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse
and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together.

Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well.
If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount,
and properly split it into 2 filesystems.
