This uses RCU to manage the\ncredentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.\nA process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to\naccess or modify its own credentials.\n\nA mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect\nof PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to\nexecve().\n\nWith this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be\nchanged directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified\nand committed using something like the following sequence of events:\n\n\tstruct cred *new \u003d prepare_creds();\n\tint ret \u003d blah(new);\n\tif (ret \u003c 0) {\n\t\tabort_creds(new);\n\t\treturn ret;\n\t}\n\treturn commit_creds(new);\n\nThere are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active\ncredentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing\nCOW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter\nthe keys in a keyring in use by another task.\n\nTo help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in\nthe task_struct, are declared const. The purpose of this is compile-time\ndiscouragement of altering credentials through those pointers. Once a set of\ncredentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be\nmodified, except under special circumstances:\n\n (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.\n\n (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.\n\nThe only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit\nusing the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be\nadded by a later patch).\n\nThis patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux\ntestsuite.\n\nThis patch makes several logical sets of alteration:\n\n (1) execve().\n\n This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the\n security code rather than altering the current creds directly.\n\n (2) Temporary credential overrides.\n\n do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and\n temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst\n preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex\n on the thread being dumped.\n\n This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the\n credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering\n the task\u0027s objective credentials.\n\n (3) LSM interface.\n\n A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:\n\n (*) security_capset_check(), -\u003ecapset_check()\n (*) security_capset_set(), -\u003ecapset_set()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_capset().\n\n (*) security_capset(), -\u003ecapset()\n\n \t New. This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old\n \t creds and the proposed capability sets. It should fill in the new\n \t creds or return an error. All pointers, barring the pointer to the\n \t new creds, are now const.\n\n (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), -\u003ebprm_apply_creds()\n\n \t Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be\n \t killed if it\u0027s an error.\n\n (*) security_task_alloc(), -\u003etask_alloc_security()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().\n\n (*) security_cred_free(), -\u003ecred_free()\n\n \t New. Free security data attached to cred-\u003esecurity.\n\n (*) security_prepare_creds(), -\u003ecred_prepare()\n\n \t New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred-\u003esecurity.\n\n (*) security_commit_creds(), -\u003ecred_commit()\n\n \t New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new\n \t security by commit_creds().\n\n (*) security_task_post_setuid(), -\u003etask_post_setuid()\n\n \t Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().\n\n (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), -\u003etask_fix_setuid()\n\n \t Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid(). This is used by\n \t cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with\n \t setuid() changes. Changes are made to the new credentials, rather\n \t than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().\n\n (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), -\u003etask_reparent_to_init()\n\n \t Removed. Instead the task being reparented to init is referred\n \t directly to init\u0027s credentials.\n\n\t NOTE! This results in the loss of some state: SELinux\u0027s osid no\n\t longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.\n\n (*) security_key_alloc(), -\u003ekey_alloc()\n (*) security_key_permission(), -\u003ekey_permission()\n\n \t Changed. These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to\n \t refer to the security context.\n\n (4) sys_capset().\n\n This has been simplified and uses less locking. The LSM functions it\n calls have been merged.\n\n (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().\n\n This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using\n commit_thread() to point that way.\n\n (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()\n\n __sigqueue_alloc() can\u0027t stop the target task from changing its creds\n beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable\n user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if\n successful.\n\n switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be\n folded into that. commit_creds() should take care of protecting\n __sigqueue_alloc().\n\n (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.\n\n The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and\n abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying\n it.\n\n security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section. This\n guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we\u0027ve finished.\n\n The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().\n\n Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into\n commit_creds().\n\n The get functions all simply access the data directly.\n\n (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().\n\n security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn\u0027t\n want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly\n rather than through an argument.\n\n Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even\n if it doesn\u0027t end up using it.\n\n (9) Keyrings.\n\n A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:\n\n (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have\n \t all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.\n \t They may want separating out again later.\n\n (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer\n \t rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.\n\n (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new\n \t thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread\n \t keyring.\n\n (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend\n \t the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.\n\n (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of\n \t credentials to be created, even though it\u0027s not strictly necessary for\n \t process or session keyrings (they\u0027re shared).\n\n(10) Usermode helper.\n\n The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its\n subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer. This set\n of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process\n after it has been cloned.\n\n call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and\n call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven\u0027t been used. A\n special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided\n specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.\n\n call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the\n supplied keyring as the new session keyring.\n\n(11) SELinux.\n\n SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM\n interface changes mentioned above:\n\n (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the\n \t current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock\n \t that covers getting the ptracer\u0027s SID. Whilst this lock ensures that\n \t the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid\n \t until the lock is released, so there\u0027s no point doing it inside the\n \t lock.\n\n(12) is_single_threaded().\n\n This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into\n a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now\n wants to use it too.\n\n The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs\n with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn\u0027t good enough. We really want\n to know if they\u0027re part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).\n\n(13) nfsd.\n\n The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the\n credentials it is going to use. It really needs to pass the credentials\n down to the functions it calls, but it can\u0027t do that until other patches\n in this series have been applied.\n\nSigned-off-by: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nAcked-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Morris \u003cjmorris@namei.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "74239072830ef3f1398edeb1bc1076fc330fd4a2", "tree": "60a244c6c88d9943760ded98a1a29ce018292107", "parents": [ "3f5ec13696fd4a33bde42f385406cbb1d3cc96fd" ], "author": { "name": "Frederic Weisbecker", "email": "fweisbec@gmail.com", "time": "Tue Nov 11 23:24:42 2008 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Wed Nov 12 10:17:19 2008 +0100" }, "message": "tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries\n\nImpact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return\n\nNow that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want\nto use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time\ncaptures between sched events and initcall events.\n\nSo we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the\ninitcall events in two parts: call and return.

So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()\n directly to init/main.c\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove unneeded/bad mem_cgroup_subsys declaration]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]\nAcked-by: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com\u003e\nTested-by: Balbir Singh \u003cbalbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "6de24f0ed08054b2a202902e4d63beff27654db8", "tree": "91f378a0335b5b9756020d37e1c54bba4a2d6434", "parents": [ "8966c5e0fc867f5a7da5756b4cd1b8bbbed3d5dd" ], "author": { "name": "Alexey Dobriyan", "email": "adobriyan@gmail.com", "time": "Thu Aug 28 06:25:49 2008 +0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Thu Oct 23 05:13:13 2008 -0400" }, "message": "[PATCH 1/2] anondev: init IDR statically\n\nSigned-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan \u003cadobriyan@gmail.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635", "tree": "103d3ee6fe2367e40f78e10838653b1f588f0677", "parents": [ "f44dd164f37336f7e17fabf5740698fd10635172" ], "author": { "name": "Heiko Carstens", "email": "heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com", "time": "Mon Oct 13 23:50:08 2008 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Rusty Russell", "email": "rusty@rustcorp.com.au", "time": "Wed Oct 22 10:00:25 2008 +1100" }, "message": "Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls.\n\nThis allows to create workqueues from within the context of\na pre smp initcall (aka early_initcall).\n\nSigned-off-by: Heiko Carstens \u003cheiko.carstens@de.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "d0ea3d7d286aeda2a9216d76424abc285b87b7b4", "tree": "b0e12906ab0ec66e36e51bee78b5d199edb887c4", "parents": [ "67e67ceaac5bf55dbdceb704ff2d763d438b5373" ], "author": { "name": "Rusty Russell", "email": "rusty@rustcorp.com.au", "time": "Wed Oct 22 10:00:23 2008 -0500" }, "committer": { "name": "Rusty Russell", "email": "rusty@rustcorp.com.au", "time": "Wed Oct 22 10:00:24 2008 +1100" }, "message": "Make initcall_debug a core_param\n\nThis is the one I really wanted: now it effects module loading, it\nmakes sense to be able to flip it after boot.\n\nSigned-off-by: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\nAcked-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "92b29b86fe2e183d44eb467e5e74a5f718ef2e43", "tree": "1bac8a1aa11d47322b66d10ec3a370016d843d06", "parents": [ "b9d7ccf56be1ac77b71a284a1c0e6337f9a7aff0", "98d9c66ab07471006fd7910cb16453581c41a3e7" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Oct 20 13:35:07 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Oct 20 13:35:07 2008 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027tracing-v28-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip\n\n* \u0027tracing-v28-for-linus\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (131 commits)\n tracing/fastboot: improve help text\n tracing/stacktrace: improve help text\n tracing/fastboot: fix initcalls disposition in bootgraph.pl\n tracing/fastboot: fix bootgraph.pl initcall name regexp\n tracing/fastboot: fix issues and improve output of bootgraph.pl\n tracepoints: synchronize unregister static inline\n tracepoints: tracepoint_synchronize_unregister()\n ftrace: make ftrace_test_p6nop disassembler-friendly\n markers: fix synchronize marker unregister static inline\n tracing/fastboot: add better resolution to initcall debug/tracing\n trace: add build-time check to avoid overrunning hex buffer\n ftrace: fix hex output mode of ftrace\n tracing/fastboot: fix initcalls disposition in bootgraph.pl\n tracing/fastboot: fix printk format typo in boot tracer\n ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer\n ftrace: make some tracers reentrant\n ring-buffer: make reentrant\n ring-buffer: move page indexes into page headers\n tracing/fastboot: only trace non-module initcalls\n ftrace: move pc counter in irqtrace\n ...\n\nManually fix conflicts:\n -

Presently this requires\na global kernel TLB flush, which on most architectures is a broadcast IPI\nto all CPUs to flush the cache. This is all done under a global lock. As\nthe number of CPUs increases, so will the number of vunmaps a scaled\nworkload will want to perform, and so will the cost of a global TLB flush.\n This gives terrible quadratic scalability characteristics.\n\nAnother problem is that the entire vmap subsystem works under a single\nlock. It is a rwlock, but it is actually taken for write in all the fast\npaths, and the read locking would likely never be run concurrently anyway,\nso it\u0027s just pointless.\n\nThis is a rewrite of vmap subsystem to solve those problems. The existing\nvmalloc API is implemented on top of the rewritten subsystem.\n\nThe TLB flushing problem is solved by using lazy TLB unmapping. vmap\naddresses do not have to be flushed immediately when they are vunmapped,\nbecause the kernel will not reuse them again (would be a use-after-free)\nuntil they are reallocated. So the addresses aren\u0027t allocated again until\na subsequent TLB flush. A single TLB flush then can flush multiple\nvunmaps from each CPU.\n\nXEN and PAT and such do not like deferred TLB flushing because they can\u0027t\nalways handle multiple aliasing virtual addresses to a physical address.\nThey now call vm_unmap_aliases() in order to flush any deferred mappings.\nThat call is very expensive (well, actually not a lot more expensive than\na single vunmap under the old scheme), however it should be OK if not\ncalled too often.\n\nThe virtual memory extent information is stored in an rbtree rather than a\nlinked list to improve the algorithmic scalability.\n\nThere is a per-CPU allocator for small vmaps, which amortizes or avoids\nglobal locking.\n\nTo use the per-CPU interface, the vm_map_ram / vm_unmap_ram interfaces\nmust be used in place of vmap and vunmap. Vmalloc does not use these\ninterfaces at the moment, so it will not be quite so scalable (although it\nwill use lazy TLB flushing).\n\nAs a quick test of performance, I ran a test that loops in the kernel,\nlinearly mapping then touching then unmapping 4 pages. Different numbers\nof tests were run in parallel on an 4 core, 2 socket opteron. Results are\nin nanoseconds per map+touch+unmap.\n\nthreads vanilla vmap rewrite\n1 14700 2900\n2 33600 3000\n4 49500 2800\n8 70631 2900\n\nSo with a 8 cores, the rewritten version is already 25x faster.\n\nIn a slightly more realistic test (although with an older and less\nscalable version of the patch), I ripped the not-very-good vunmap batching\ncode out of XFS, and implemented the large buffer mapping with vm_map_ram\nand vm_unmap_ram... along with a couple of other tricks, I was able to\nspeed up a large directory workload by 20x on a 64 CPU system. I believe\nvmap/vunmap is actually sped up a lot more than 20x on such a system, but\nI\u0027m running into other locks now. vmap is pretty well blown off the\nprofiles.\n\nBefore:\n1352059 total 0.1401\n798784 _write_lock 8320.6667 \u003c- vmlist_lock\n529313 default_idle 1181.5022\n 15242 smp_call_function 15.8771 \u003c- vmap tlb flushing\n 2472 __get_vm_area_node 1.9312 \u003c- vmap\n 1762 remove_vm_area 4.5885 \u003c- vunmap\n 316 map_vm_area 0.2297 \u003c- vmap\n 312 kfree 0.1950\n 300 _spin_lock 3.1250\n 252 sn_send_IPI_phys 0.4375 \u003c- tlb flushing\n 238 vmap 0.8264 \u003c- vmap\n 216 find_lock_page 0.5192\n 196 find_next_bit 0.3603\n 136 sn2_send_IPI 0.2024\n 130 pio_phys_write_mmr 2.0312\n 118 unmap_kernel_range 0.1229\n\nAfter:\n 78406 total 0.0081\n 40053 default_idle 89.4040\n 33576 ia64_spinlock_contention 349.7500\n 1650 _spin_lock 17.1875\n 319 __reg_op 0.5538\n 281 _atomic_dec_and_lock 1.0977\n 153 mutex_unlock 1.5938\n 123 iget_locked 0.1671\n 117 xfs_dir_lookup 0.1662\n 117 dput 0.1406\n 114 xfs_iget_core 0.0268\n 92 xfs_da_hashname 0.1917\n 75 d_alloc 0.0670\n 68 vmap_page_range 0.0462 \u003c- vmap\n 58 kmem_cache_alloc 0.0604\n 57 memset 0.0540\n 52 rb_next 0.1625\n 50 __copy_user 0.0208\n 49 bitmap_find_free_region 0.2188 \u003c- vmap\n 46 ia64_sn_udelay 0.1106\n 45 find_inode_fast 0.1406\n 42 memcmp 0.2188\n 42 finish_task_switch 0.1094\n 42 __d_lookup 0.0410\n 40 radix_tree_lookup_slot 0.1250\n 37 _spin_unlock_irqrestore 0.3854\n 36 xfs_bmapi 0.0050\n 36 kmem_cache_free 0.0256\n 35 xfs_vn_getattr 0.0322\n 34 radix_tree_lookup 0.1062\n 33 __link_path_walk 0.0035\n 31 xfs_da_do_buf 0.0091\n 30 _xfs_buf_find 0.0204\n 28 find_get_page 0.0875\n 27 xfs_iread 0.0241\n 27 __strncpy_from_user 0.2812\n 26 _xfs_buf_initialize 0.0406\n 24 _xfs_buf_lookup_pages 0.0179\n 24 vunmap_page_range 0.0250 \u003c- vunmap\n 23 find_lock_page 0.0799\n 22 vm_map_ram 0.0087 \u003c- vmap\n 20 kfree 0.0125\n 19 put_page 0.0330\n 18 __kmalloc 0.0176\n 17 xfs_da_node_lookup_int 0.0086\n 17 _read_lock 0.0885\n 17 page_waitqueue 0.0664\n\nvmap has gone from being the top 5 on the profiles and flushing the crap\nout of all TLBs, to using less than 1% of kernel time.\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups, section fix]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build on alpha]\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge \u003cjeremy@goop.org\u003e\nCc: Krzysztof Helt \u003ckrzysztof.h1@poczta.fm\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "ca538f6bbe583406f941f3041d40c41f9a13d1de", "tree": "460e3cf96472e327b48befbb4836c2d40e46f937", "parents": [ "ad0a3b68114e8f3c25ac0045b45a2838f23e3b3a" ], "author": { "name": "Tim Bird", "email": "tim.bird@am.sony.com", "time": "Thu Oct 09 15:23:05 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Tue Oct 14 10:39:27 2008 +0200" }, "message": "tracing/fastboot: add better resolution to initcall debug/tracing\n\nChange the time resolution for initcall_debug to microseconds, from\nmilliseconds.

And the\n\tbit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of\n\trcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway.\n\no\tIt might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke\n\tresched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn\u0027t responding quickly,\n\tbut resched_cpu() is declared static...\n\nThis patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU\nimplementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of\nconcurrent external changes to a task\u0027s CPU affinity mask.

One problem spot are\nkernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt\ncontext and usually causes the machine to panic.\n\nWhile working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code\ninto the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This\ndebug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due\nto the intrusiveness into the timer code.\n\nThe code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause\ninstantly and keep the system operational.\n\nKeeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug\ninformation without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special\nknowledge of the bug reporter.\n\nThe problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to\nexpose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,\nbut the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.\n\nInstead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a\ngeneric infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code\nand provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.\n\nThe debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic\nobjects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on\nobject operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is\nfreed.\n\nThe tracked object operations are:\n- initializing an object\n- adding an object to a subsystem list\n- deleting an object from a subsystem list\n\nEach operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the\nsubsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent\nthe damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message\nand a stack trace is printed.\n\nThe list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it\u0027s\nlimited to the requirements of the first user (timers).\n\nThe core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is\ngenerated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check\non kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it\u0027s own spinlock to avoid contention on a\nglobal lock.\n\nThe debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead\nis minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line\noption enables the debugging code.\n\nThanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Greg KH \u003cgreg@kroah.com\u003e\nCc: Randy Dunlap \u003crandy.dunlap@oracle.com\u003e\nCc: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "5cd204550b1a006f2b0c986b0e0f53220ebfd391", "tree": "ee0f5e042072d4d2f4a3c6cd6e3a8b60676868ae", "parents": [ "cb41d6d068716b2b3666925da34d3d7e658bf4f3" ], "author": { "name": "Pavel Emelyanov", "email": "xemul@openvz.org", "time": "Wed Apr 30 00:54:24 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Apr 30 08:29:48 2008 -0700" }, "message": "Deprecate find_task_by_pid()\n\nThere are some places that are known to operate on tasks\u0027\nglobal pids only:\n\n* the rest_init() call (called on boot)\n* the kgdb\u0027s getthread\n* the create_kthread() (since the kthread is run in init ns)\n\nSo use the find_task_by_pid_ns(..., \u0026init_pid_ns) there\nand schedule the find_task_by_pid for removal.\n\n[sukadev@us.ibm.com: Fix warning in kernel/pid.c]\nSigned-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov \u003cxemul@openvz.org\u003e\nCc: \"Eric W.

These all need the basic abstraction of being\nable to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to\ntrack/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control\nother behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in\ndifferent ways.\n\nThis patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes\ninto arbitrary \"cgroups\" and assigning arbitrary state to those\ngroupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an\naggregate.\n\nThe intention is that the various resource management and\nvirtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup\nclients, with the result that:\n\n- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised\n\n- it\u0027s easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in\n conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of\nthem as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.\n\n- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource\n management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn\u0027t need\n to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their\n chances of getting into the kernel\n\nThis patch:\n\nAdd the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the\nbasic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state\nobjects to tasks.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul Menage \u003cmenage@google.com\u003e\nCc: Serge E.

If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste\nsome memory for early boot users.\n\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "15700770ef7c5d12e2f1659d2ddbeb3f658d9f37", "tree": "7fa2f81c33c9efcb1a1568385beead75c5892cfb", "parents": [ "6de410c2b0cc055ae9ee640c84331f6a70878d9b", "11de39e2fbbc592018e0a231d0ee773653dcc8d6" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun May 06 13:21:57 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sun May 06 13:21:57 2007 -0700" }, "message": "Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild\n\n* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild: (38 commits)\n kconfig: fix mconf segmentation fault\n kbuild: enable use of code from a different dir\n kconfig: error out if recursive dependencies are found\n kbuild: scripts/basic/fixdep segfault on pathological string-o-death\n kconfig: correct minor typo in Kconfig warning message.\n kconfig: fix path to modules.txt in Kconfig help\n usr/Kconfig: fix typo\n kernel-doc: alphabetically-sorted entries in index.html of \u0027htmldocs\u0027\n kbuild: be more explicit on missing .config file\n kbuild: clarify the creation of the LOCALVERSION_AUTO string.\n kbuild: propagate errors from find in scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh\n kconfig: refer to qt3 if we cannot find qt libraries\n kbuild: handle compressed cpio initramfs-es\n kbuild: ignore section mismatch warning for references from .paravirtprobe to .init.text\n kbuild: remove stale comment in modpost.c\n kbuild/mkuboot.sh: allow spaces in CROSS_COMPILE\n kbuild: fix make mrproper for Documentation/DocBook/man\n kbuild: remove kconfig binaries during make mrproper\n kconfig/menuconfig: do not hardcode \u0027.config\u0027\n kbuild: override build timestamp \u0026 version\n ...\n" }, { "commit": "aae5f662a32c35b1a962627535acb588d48ff5f9", "tree": "6e300ed8557e850e350c95dffb57ff9d5d5b182d", "parents": [ "85bd2fddd68e757da8e1af98f857f61a3c9ce647" ], "author": { "name": "Sam Ravnborg", "email": "sam@ravnborg.org", "time": "Mon Feb 26 16:45:41 2007 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Sam Ravnborg", "email": "sam@ravnborg.org", "time": "Wed May 02 20:58:07 2007 +0200" }, "message": "kbuild: whitelist section mismatch in init/main.c\n\nIn init/main.c we have a reference from rest_init() to .init.text\nwhich is intentional.\nRename the function \u0027init\u0027 to \u0027kernel_init\u0027 to make it a\nkernel wide unique symbol and whitelist the reference.\n\nSigned-off-by: Sam Ravnborg \u003csam@ravnborg.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b6e3590f8145c77b8fcef3247e2412335221412f", "tree": "47fb1a28e41fd9f4e1aef45b5482b69b8d7c154e", "parents": [ "de90c5ce832b1218042316260ff9268b00fdcba3" ], "author": { "name": "Jeremy Fitzhardinge", "email": "jeremy@goop.org", "time": "Wed May 02 19:27:12 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Andi Kleen", "email": "andi@basil.nowhere.org", "time": "Wed May 02 19:27:12 2007 +0200" }, "message": "[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned\n\nLet\u0027s allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and\nIngo suggested KVM as well).\n\nBecause larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu\nmemory to 64k rather than 32k: it\u0027s getting a little tight.\n\nSigned-off-by: Rusty Russell \u003crusty@rustcorp.com.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge \u003cjeremy@xensource.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" } ], "next": "53b8a315b76a3f3c70a5644976c0095460eb13d8" }
