This\napproach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either\nset PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn\u0027t\ncare for the freezing of tasks at all.\n\nIt seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to\nbe frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any\nfreezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is\ndone in this patch.\n\nThe patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to\nhave PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()\nfunction that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to\nunset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel\nthreads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn\u0027t cause any (intentional)\nchange of behaviour to appear.

      "message": "Audit: add TTY input auditing\n\nAdd TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator\u0027s actions.  This is\nrequired by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide\nnon-repudiation of administrator\u0027s actions and to allow a review of past\nactions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system\nbecomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it\nnecessary to audit TTY output as well.\n\nCompared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the\naudit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely\ntransparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still\nwork).\n\nTTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls\nwithin the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly\nuseless audit events.\n\nAdd an \"audit_tty\" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs\nby process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.\nThe audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty\nattribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for\nexample, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the\ninteractive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which\nmight be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).\n\nBecause the \"audit_tty\" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set\ne.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the\naudit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file\ndescriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.\n\nSee https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a\nmore detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix]\nSigned-off-by: Miloslav Trmac \u003cmitr@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Alan Cox \u003calan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Paul Fulghum \u003cpaulkf@microgate.com\u003e\nCc: Casey Schaufler \u003ccasey@schaufler-ca.com\u003e\nCc: Steve Grubb \u003csgrubb@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

Then, this flag can be set by tasks using\nsys_vfork() before they call wait_for_completion(\u0026vfork) and cleared after\nthey have woken up.

      "message": "signal/timer/event: signalfd core\n\nThis patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.\n\nI took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be\nbroken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same\nsignal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard\nkernel delivery in dequeue_signal().  If you want to reliably fetch signals on\nthe signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK).  This\nseems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine.  I made a quick test\nprogram for it:\n\nhttp://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c\n\nThe signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor\nreceiver.  The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:\n\nint signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);\n\nThe \"ufd\" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going\nto close/create cycle (Linus idea).  Use \"ufd\" \u003d\u003d -1 if you want a brand new\nsignalfd file.\n\nThe \"mask\" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested\nin.  The \"masksize\" parameter is the size of \"mask\".\n\nThe signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls.  The poll(2)\nwill return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued.  As a direct\nconsequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use\nused together with epoll(2) too.\n\nThe read(2) system call will return a \"struct signalfd_siginfo\" structure in\nthe userspace supplied buffer.  The return value is the number of bytes copied\nin the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error.  The read(2) call can also\nreturn 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,\nhas been orphaned.  The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will\nreturn -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.\n\nIf the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct\nsignalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned.  A read from the signalfd can also\nreturn -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.  The format of the\nstruct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (-\u003ecode \u0026\n__SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:\n\nstruct signalfd_siginfo {\n\t__u32 signo;\t/* si_signo */\n\t__s32 err;\t/* si_errno */\n\t__s32 code;\t/* si_code */\n\t__u32 pid;\t/* si_pid */\n\t__u32 uid;\t/* si_uid */\n\t__s32 fd;\t/* si_fd */\n\t__u32 tid;\t/* si_fd */\n\t__u32 band;\t/* si_band */\n\t__u32 overrun;\t/* si_overrun */\n\t__u32 trapno;\t/* si_trapno */\n\t__s32 status;\t/* si_status */\n\t__s32 svint;\t/* si_int */\n\t__u64 svptr;\t/* si_ptr */\n\t__u64 utime;\t/* si_utime */\n\t__u64 stime;\t/* si_stime */\n\t__u64 addr;\t/* si_addr */\n};\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix signalfd_copyinfo() on i386]\nSigned-off-by: Davide Libenzi \u003cdavidel@xmailserver.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

It is only supported by\nSLAB.\n\nI think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed\nto verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is\nperformed before each freeing of an object.\n\nI would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually\nbefore the free.  That also places the check near the code object\nmanipulation of the object.\n\nAlso the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was\ncompiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor\nhandling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on\nSLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code\nin the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real\nuse of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the\nsame effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).\n\nThere is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be\nclear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be\npointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.\n\nThis is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.

When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references\nto it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,\nor free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.\n\nCurrently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of\nit entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded.  We can\ndistinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is\nembedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().\n\nSigned-off-by: Vadim Lobanov \u003cvlobanov@speakeasy.net\u003e\nCc: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@lst.de\u003e\nCc: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Dipankar Sarma \u003cdipankar@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size\n\nCurrently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the\nfdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the\nfdarray (fdtable-\u003emax_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each\nof the fdsets (fdtable-\u003emax_fdset).\n\nIn practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a\nlimit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable\nand all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the\nlarger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.\n\nRather than hogging this excess, we shouldn\u0027t even allocate it in the first\nplace, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This\npatch removes fdtable-\u003emax_fdset.

      "message": "[PATCH] io-accounting: core statistics\n\nThe present per-task IO accounting isn\u0027t very useful.  It simply counts the\nnumber of bytes passed into read() and write().  So if a process reads 1MB\nfrom an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,\nwhich is wrong.\n\n(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:\n\n  For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very\n  useful\n\n  read_bytes/read_calls  average read request size\n  write_bytes/write_calls average write request size\n\n  read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing\n  write_bytes/write_blocks  ie logical/physical  guess since pdflush writes can\n                                                be missed\n\n  I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache\n  problems.  And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are\n  dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache\n  contention.\n\n  I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing\n  efficient IO.  Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high\n  IO commands).\n\nThis patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate.  We account\nfor three things:\n\nreads:\n\n  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause\n  to be fetched from the storage layer.  Done at the submit_bio() level, so it\n  is accurate for block-backed filesystems.  I also attempt to wire up NFS and\n  CIFS.\n\nwrites:\n\n  attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent\n  to the storage layer.  This is done at page-dirtying time.\n\n  The big inaccuracy here is truncate.  If a process writes 1MB to a file\n  and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout.  But it will\n  have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.\n\n  So...\n\ncancelled_writes:\n\n  account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by\n  truncating pagecache.\n\n  We _could_ just subtract this from the process\u0027s `write\u0027 accounting.  But\n  that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative\n  amounts of write IO, which is silly.\n\n  So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.\n\nNow, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level.  But\n\n- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page\n  level (would require a new pointer in struct page).\n\n- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available\n  long after that process has exitted.  Which means that we probably cannot\n  communicate this info via taskstats.\n\nThis patch:\n\nWire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to\nmanipulate them.\n\nCc: Jay Lan \u003cjlan@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Shailabh Nagar \u003cnagar@watson.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@in.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Sturtivant \u003ccsturtiv@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Tony Ernst \u003ctee@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Guillaume Thouvenin \u003cguillaume.thouvenin@bull.net\u003e\nCc: David Wright \u003cdaw@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exit\n\nThe CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads\ncommunicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can\nsynchronize using a simple futex wait.  The word of user memory where NPTL\nstores a thread\u0027s own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at\nthread exit.\n\nIt is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due\nto a fatal signal.  A core dump is more usefully representative of the\ndying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their\nNPTL data structures unperturbed.  The userland expectation of\nCLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making\nan _exit system call.\n\nThis problem was identified by Ernie Petrides \u003cpetrides@redhat.com\u003e.\n\nSigned-off-by: Roland McGrath \u003croland@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Ernie Petrides \u003cpetrides@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Jakub Jelinek \u003cjakub@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Ulrich Drepper \u003cdrepper@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] new scheme to preempt swap token\n\nThe new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo.  The old\nalgo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from\none task to another.  This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in\nneed of the token.  The urgency for the token is based on the number of times\na task is required to swap-in pages.  Accordingly, the priority of a task is\nincremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs.  To ensure that\nthe token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority\nboost.  The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in\u0027s\nkeeps reducing.  This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap\ntoken, is a matter of comparing two task\u0027s priority fields.\n\n[akpm@osdl.org: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Ashwin Chaugule \u003cashwin.chaugule@celunite.com\u003e\nCc: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

This patch makes several related\nchanges:\n\n1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel.  This means that on\n   entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with\n   __KERNEL_PDA.\n\n2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this\n   is passed around the kernel so that the process\u0027s saved register\n   state can be accessed.\n\n   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn\u0027t currently have space for %gs\n   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space\n   is allocated for %fs, since it won\u0027t be used, and it would just\n   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).\n\n3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer\n   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to\n   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the\n   register state in a signal context.\n\n4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel\n   code, they need to be created with their %gs \u003d\u003d __KERNEL_PDA.\n\nSigned-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge \u003cjeremy@xensource.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Chuck Ebbert \u003c76306.1226@compuserve.com\u003e\nCc: Zachary Amsden \u003czach@vmware.com\u003e\nCc: Jan Beulich \u003cjbeulich@novell.com\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] lockdep: core\n\nDo \u0027make oldconfig\u0027 and accept all the defaults for new config options -\nreboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and\nyou should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.\n\nTypically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out\nvoluminous debug output that begins with \"BUG: ...\" and which syslog output\ncan be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.\n\nWhat does the lock validator do?  It \"observes\" and maps all locking rules as\nthey occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel\u0027s natural use of spinlocks,\nrwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a\nnew locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of\nrules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the\nnew rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the\nnew rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.\n\nWhen determining validity of locking, all possible \"deadlock scenarios\" are\nconsidered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task\ncontext constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing\nlocking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate\nscenarios.  This is why we call it a \"locking correctness\" validator - for all\nrules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical\ncertainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator\nimplementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not\ncorrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals\nof this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt]\n\nFurthermore, this \"all possible scenarios\" property of the validator also\nenables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races\nvia single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs\ndrastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in\nthe upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and\nwhich needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.\nThat bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a\nrace will be found \"piecemail-wise\", triggering all the necessary components\nfor the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its\nshort existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they\nactually caused a real deadlock.\n\nTo further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per\n\"lock instance\", but per \"lock-class\".  For example, all struct inode objects\nin the kernel have inode-\u003einotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,\nthen there are 10,000 lock objects.  But -\u003einotify_mutex is a single \"lock\ntype\", and all locking activities that occur against -\u003einotify_mutex are\n\"unified\" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class\napproach is that all historical -\u003einotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single\n(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many\ndifferent tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The\nset of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.\n\nTo see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here\u0027s a\nportion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:\n\n lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]\n direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]\n indirect dependencies:               17896\n all direct dependencies:             16206\n dependency chains:                    1910 [max: 8192]\n in-hardirq chains:                      17\n in-softirq chains:                     105\n in-process chains:                    1065\n stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]\n combined max dependencies:         2033928\n hardirq-safe locks:                     24\n hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176\n softirq-safe locks:                     53\n softirq-unsafe locks:                  137\n irq-safe locks:                         59\n irq-unsafe locks:                      176\n\nThe lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,\nand has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.\n\nMore details about the design of the lock validator can be found in\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:\n\n   http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-design.txt\n\n[bunk@stusta.de: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@stusta.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] pidhash: Refactor the pid hash table\n\nSimplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the\ncode more capable.\n\nIn the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the\ncleanup itself justified the work.  With struct pid being dynamically\nallocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was\nallocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed.  Instead of\nplaying with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a\nprocess.\n\nFor myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free\nwith simpler code was a big win.  The problem is that if you hold a reference\nto struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory.  If you do that in a user\ncontrollable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space\napplication with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can\ntrigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a\nmachine wight 1GB of low memory.\n\nIf I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my\ntask_struct, I don\u0027t suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders\nof magnitude smaller.  In fact struct pid is small enough that most other\nkernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring\ndata structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory.\n\nThis splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct\npid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one.\nstruct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in\nstruct task_struct.  struct pid is given an indepedent lifetime, and holds\npointers to each of the pid types.\n\nThe independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid,\nbecause we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table.\nIn addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much\nmore powerful.\n\nKernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and\nnot suffer from pid wrap around problems or from keeping unnecessarily\nlarge amounts of memory allocated.\n\nSigned-off-by: Eric W.

We still\nhave have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid \u003d\u003d 0: /sbin/init and\nkernel threads which don\u0027t call daemonize().\n\nSigned-off-by: Oleg Nesterov \u003coleg@tv-sign.ru\u003e\nCc: \"Eric W.
