In an attempt to improve the documentation of the BBT code, I am expanding
the comments I left in commit:

After several steps of rearrangement and consolidation, it is probably
worth re-sequencing the numbers on some of our affected flags in nand.h
and bbm.h.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

According to our new prefix rules, we should rename NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT
with a NAND_BBT prefix, i.e., NAND_BBT_CREATE_EMPTY.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy -
The NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT flag was added by commit:
453281a973c10bce941b240d1c654d536623b16b
mtd: nand: introduce NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT
This flag is not used within the kernel and not explained well, so I
took the liberty to edit its comments.Also, this is a BBT-related flag (and closely tied with NAND_BBT_CREATE)
so I'm moving it to bbm.h next to NAND_BBT_CREATE, thus requiring that
we use the flag in nand_chip.bbt_options, *not* in nand_chip.options.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy -
Recall the recently added prefix requirements:
* "NAND_" for flags in nand.h, used in nand_chip.options
* "NAND_BBT_" for flags in bbm.h, used in nand_chip.bbt_options
or in nand_bbt_descr.optionsThus, I am changing NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT to NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH.
Again, this flag is found in bbm.h and so should NOT be used in the
"nand_chip.options" field.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy -
This patch works with the following three flags from two headers (nand.h
and bbm.h):
(1) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (nand.h)
(2) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (nand.h)
(3) NAND_BBT_NO_OOB (bbm.h)These flags are all related and interdependent, yet they were in
different headers. Flag (2) is simply the combination of (1) and (3) and
can be eliminated.This patch accomplishes the following:
* eliminate NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (i.e., flag (2))
* move NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (i.e., flag (1)) to bbm.hIt's important to note that because (1) and (3) are now both found in
bbm.h, they should NOT be used in the "nand_chip.options" field.I removed a small section from the mtdnand DocBook because it referes to
NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT in nand.h, which has been moved to bbm.h.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy -
This patch handles the problems we've been having with using conflicting
flags from nand.h and bbm.h in the same nand_chip.options field. We
should try to separate these two spaces a little more clearly, and so I
have added a bbt_options field to nand_chip.Important notes about nand_chip fields:
* bbt_options field should contain ONLY flags from bbm.h. They should be
able to pass safely to a nand_bbt_descr data structure.
- BBT option flags start with the "NAND_BBT_" prefix.
* options field should contian ONLY flags from nand.h. Ideally, they
should not be involved in any BBT related options.
- NAND chip option flags start with the "NAND_" prefix.
* Every flag should have a nice comment explaining what the flag is. While
this is not yet the case on all existing flags, please be sure to write
one for new flags. Even better, you can help document the code better
yourself!Please try to follow these conventions to make everyone's lives easier.
Among the flags that are being moved to the new bbt_options field
throughout various drivers, etc. are:
* NAND_BBT_SCANLASTPAGE
* NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE
and there will be more to come.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

This patch reverts most of:
commit 58373ff0afff4cc8ac40608872995f4d87eb72ec
mtd: nand: more BB Detection refactoring and dynamic scan optionsAccording to the discussion at:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-May/035696.html
the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag, although technically valid, can break
some existing ECC layouts that use the 6th byte in the OOB for ECC data.
Furthermore, we apparently do not need to scan both bytes 1 and 6 in
the OOB region of the devices under consideration; instead, we only need
to scan one or the other.Thus, the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag is at best unnecessary and at
worst a regression.Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

Currently userland will barf when including linux/netlink.h unless it
precisely includes sys/socket.h first. The issue is where the
definition of "sa_family_t" comes from.We've been back and forth on how to fix this issue in the past, see:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/622621
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/143380Ben Hutchings suggested we take a hint from how we handle the
sockaddr_storage type. First we define a "__kernel_sa_family_t"
to linux/socket.h that is always defined.Then if __KERNEL__ is defined, we also define "sa_family_t" as
equal to "__kernel_sa_family_t".Then in places like linux/netlink.h we use __kernel_sa_family_t
in user visible datastructures.Reported-by: Michel Machado

nfs_xdr: Move nfs4_string definition out of #ifdef CONFIG_NFS_V4 -
The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
really do care. The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
fields is quite costly.We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
ops that are used during pathname lookup.It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
order accessed.The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
"make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
lookup), so it's visible. The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture. So there's more tuning
to be done.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Gcc tends to generate better code with small integers, including the
DCACHE_xyz flag tests - so move the common ones to be first in the list.
Also just remove the unused DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED and
DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING values, their users no longer exists in the source
tree.And add a "unlikely()" to the DCACHE_OP_COMPARE test, since we want the
common case to be a nice straight-line fall-through.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine"
This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c
and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore
engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver.* File ios.c => ore.c
* Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new
osd_ore.h* All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name.
* Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is
independent, include it from exofs.h.Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch
will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API
to be used by exofs and later the layout driverSigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

Computers have become a lot faster since we compromised on the
partial MD4 hash which we use currently for performance reasons.MD5 is a much safer choice, and is inline with both RFC1948 and
other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
unpredictable is a very serious limitation. So the periodic
regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and
use a full 32-bit sequence number.For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.Reported-by: Dan Kaminsky

For ChromiumOS, we use SHA-1 to verify the integrity of the root
filesystem. The speed of the kernel sha-1 implementation has a major
impact on our boot performance.To improve boot performance, we investigated using the heavily optimized
sha-1 implementation used in git. With the git sha-1 implementation, we
see a 11.7% improvement in boot time.10 reboots, remove slowest/fastest.
Before:
Mean: 6.58 seconds Stdev: 0.14
After (with git sha-1, this patch):
Mean: 5.89 seconds Stdev: 0.07
The other cool thing about the git SHA-1 implementation is that it only
needs 64 bytes of stack for the workspace while the original kernel
implementation needed 320 bytes.Signed-off-by: Mandeep Singh Baines
