2005-06-23[PATCH] setuid core dumpAlan Cox1-0/+20
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: > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(suid_dumpable); > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? No problem to me. > > if (current->euid == current->uid && current->egid == current->gid) > > current->mm->dumpable = 1; > > Should this be SUID_DUMP_USER? 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) > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something. Doing that > would help us catch any code which isn't using the #defines, too. Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat rather than for merging.

2005-06-21[PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip driversJean Delvare1-50/+12
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size shrink for all these drivers). Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers. These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one in parts. A documentation update is included. The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which do not. This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors i2c code (and we want to do this).

2005-06-21[PATCH] isofs: show hidden files, add granularity for assoc/hidden files flagsJeremy White1-1/+5
The current isofs treatment of hidden files is flawed in two ways. First, it does not provide sufficient granularity; it hides both 'hidden' files and 'associated' files (resource fork for Mac files). Second, the default behavior to completely strip hidden files, while an admirable implementation of the spec, is a poor choice given the real world use of hidden files as a poor mans copy protection scheme for MSDOS and Windows based systems. A longer description of this is available here: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0205.3/0267.html This patch was originally built after a few private conversations with Alan Cox; I shamefully failed to persist in seeing it go forward, I hope to make amends now. This patch introduces granularity by allowing explicit control for both hidden and associated files. It also reverses the default so that by default, hidden files are treated as regular files on the iso9660 file system. This allow Wine to process Windows CDs, including those that are hybrid Mac/Windows CDs properly and completely, without our having to go muck up peoples fstabs as we do now. (I have tested this with such a hybrid + hidden CD and have verified that this patch works as claimed).

2005-06-21[PATCH] ioc4: Core driver rewriteBrent Casavant1-0/+45
This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers. These changes are motivated by several factors: - The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e. multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable. - The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly. - All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable these drivers independently. - The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver) in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model. - IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken. This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also handled in this core driver. This patch: The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not all IOC4 hardware features are being used. This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly delineate module ownership of these items.

2005-06-21[PATCH] shmem: restore superblock infoHugh Dickins1-3/+3
To improve shmem scalability, we allowed tmpfs instances which don't need their blocks or inodes limited not to count them, and not to allocate any sbinfo. Which was okay when the only use for the sbinfo was accounting blocks and inodes; but since then a couple of unrelated projects extending tmpfs want to store other data in the sbinfo. Whether either extension reaches mainline is beside the point: I'm guilty of a bad design decision, and should restore sbinfo to make any such future extensions easier. So, once again allocate a shmem_sb_info for every shmem/tmpfs instance, and now let max_blocks 0 indicate unlimited blocks, and max_inodes 0 unlimited inodes. Brent Casavant verified (many months ago) that this does not perceptibly impact the scalability (since the unlimited sbinfo cacheline is repeatedly accessed but only once dirtied). And merge shmem_set_size into its sole caller shmem_remount_fs.

2005-05-20[PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt brokenPaul Jackson1-2/+1
This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

2005-05-17[PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell3-27/+4
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa1-7/+179
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.

2005-05-01[PATCH] kernel/rcupdate.c: make the exports EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPLPaul E. McKenney1-0/+15
The gpl exports need to be put back. Moving them to GPL -- but in a measured manner, as I proposed on this list some months ago -- is fine. Changing these particular exports precipitously is most definitely -not- fine. Here is my earlier proposal: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110520930301813&w=2 See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated version of my earlier patch that starts the process of moving them to GPL. I will also be following this message with RFC patches that introduce two (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) interfaces to replace synchronize_kernel(), which then becomes deprecated.

2005-05-01[PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128Venkatesh Pallipadi1-3/+3
The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32. With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128. The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820). As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect on bootloader-setup code interface. Patch covers both i386 and x86-64. Tested on: * grub booting bzImage * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled * pxeboot of bzImage Side-effect: bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

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!
