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.

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.

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.

Split out the list of idle threads and pending sockets from svc_serv into a

several of the duties of svc_serv->sv_lock, which is now relegated to

The point is to move the hottest fields out of svc_serv and into svc_pool,

Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more
Numa-aware. They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some
data-structures that can be node-local.
knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new
request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received
the interrupt.
The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in
the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is
probably fine for most sites.
Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of
NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients. Number of NUMA nodes == N/2
N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100)

This patch:
Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to
a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes. This reduces
the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length
of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.

We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd,
and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active
versions.
Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted.
The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to
nfsd_versions when nfsd starts.
This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from
nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive.
Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is
running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is
created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active
versions.

Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set.
However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem.
If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be
able to call back to lockd.
So:
- add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed
- Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise
only open a socket of the type required
- Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread.
This
- removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP
- means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup
- means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only
mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started).
The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this
might be a problem with some servers.

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

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the

I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid
is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console
semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of
which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful
because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily
dropped.
Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs.
Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of
introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to
signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the
struct pid * pointer instead.
Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except
for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should
kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken
anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong
signal.

This patch does several things.
- The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h
- A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values.
- Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against
pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.

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.

To avoid pid rollover confusion the kernel needs to work with struct pid *

replacing some pid_t instances with struct pid. So this patch adds
do_each_pid_task which walks through the set of task for a given pid type

In the last round of cleaning up the pid hash table a more general struct pid
was introduced, that can be referenced counted.
With the more general struct pid most if not all places where we store a pid_t
we can now store a struct pid * and remove the need for a hash table lookup,
and avoid any possible problems with pid roll over.
Looking forward to the pid namespaces struct pid * gives us an absolute form a
pid so we can compare and use them without caring which pid namespace we are
in.
This patchset introduces the infrastructure needed to use struct pid instead
of pid_t, and then it goes on to convert two different kernel users that
currently store a pid_t value.
There are a lot more places to go but this is enough to get the basic idea.
Before we can merge a pid namespace patch all of the kernel pid_t users need
to be examined. Those that deal with user space processes need to be
converted to using a struct pid *. Those that deal with kernel processes need
to converted to using the kthread api. A rare few that only use their current
processes pid values get to be left alone.
This patch:
task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session.
task_pgrp returns the struct pid of a tasks process group.
task_tgid returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group.
task_pid returns the struct pid of a tasks process id.
These can be used to avoid unnecessary hash table lookups, and to implement
safe pid comparisions in the face of a pid namespace.

The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report
process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system
calls. For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at
must exit before readdir is called again.
This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of
posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to
readdir.
Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short
of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all
happens in on system call.
This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that
guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed
while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are
either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them.
Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen.
These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and
more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to
implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a
second time if you are wondering if something new has show up.
These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in
numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset.
The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is
remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical
cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There
are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system
will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to
look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the
entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable.
If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data
structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be
sufficient.
In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than
what we are doing now.
Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible
to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the
thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case
so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the
de_thread dance.

the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not
even a lock prefix needs to be used. We can simply instead clear the P-bit,
followed by a normal set. The write ordering is still important to avoid the
possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad

Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the
dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the TLB
page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager
optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can
assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed /
dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the
page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This eliminates an
extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that
no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be
needed.
We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define
the macros in the i386 code:
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG
#define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY
The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the
generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there
are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic
code from defining them for us.

Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and shadow
page tables. The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations while in
lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall. We use this in VMI for
shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win. It also can be used by
PPC and for direct page tables on Xen.
For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table
locks for page tables which are being modified. This is because otherwise,
you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can
race ahead of. Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees the
synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which are
generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as the page
fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same lock.

Change pte_clear_full to a more appropriately named pte_clear_not_present,
allowing optimizations when not-present mapping changes need not be reflected
in the hardware TLB for protected page table modes. There is also another
case that can use it in the fremap code.

A new member in the ever growing family of call_usermode* functions is
born. The new call_usermodehelper_pipe() function allows to pipe data to
the stdin of the called user mode progam and behaves otherwise like the
normal call_usermodehelp() (except that it always waits for the child to
finish)

Split the big and hard to read do_pipe function into smaller pieces.
This creates new create_write_pipe/free_write_pipe/create_read_pipe
functions. These functions are made global so that they can be used by
other parts of the kernel.
The resulting code is more generic and easier to read and has cleaner error
handling and less gotos.

This patch adds a generic implementation of ioremap_page_range() in
lib/ioremap.c based on the i386 implementation. It differs from the
i386 version in the following ways:
* The PTE flags are passed as a pgprot_t argument and must be
determined up front by the arch-specific code. No additional
PTE flags are added.
* Uses set_pte_at() instead of set_pte()

This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.
This patch set does the following:
* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).
* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
"safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.
This patch:
On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.
In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.
To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a
possible implementation for i386.

Some filesystems, instead of simply decrementing i_nlink, simply zero it
during an unlink operation. We need to catch these in addition to the
decrement operations.

When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be
performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.
We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between
the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs.
So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a
bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.

ChangeLog:
Feedbacks from Andrew Morton:
- define TS_COMM_LEN to 32
- change acct_stimexpd field of task_struct to be of
cputime_t, which is to be used to save the tsk->stime
of last timer interrupt update.
- a new Documentation/accounting/taskstats-struct.txt
to describe fields of taskstats struct.
Feedback from Balbir Singh:
- keep the stime of a task to be zero when both stime
and utime are zero as recoreded in task_struct.
Misc:
- convert accumulated RSS/VM from platform dependent
pages-ticks to MBytes-usecs in the kernel

There were a few accounting data/macros that are used in CSA but are #ifdef'ed
inside CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT. This patch is to change those ifdef's from
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT to CONFIG_TASK_XACCT. A few defines are moved from
kernel/acct.c and include/linux/acct.h to kernel/tsacct.c and
include/linux/tsacct_kern.h.
