  • 1c0fe6e3b   mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault ... Browse Code »

    Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
    a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.

    With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
    oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
    panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
    process at page fault time. Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
    into instead.

    Only converted x86 and uml so far.

  • 22409f9c8   get rid of the last symlink in uml build ... Browse Code »

    We need to make asm-offsets.h contents visible for objects built
    with userland headers. Instead of creating a symlink, just have the
    file with equivalent include (relative to location of header) created
    once. That kills the last symlink used in arch/um builds.

    Additionally, both generated headers can become dependencies of
    archprepare now, killing the misuse of prepare.

  • 320ab2b0b   cpumask: convert struct clock_event_device to cpumask pointers. ... Browse Code »

    Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs

    struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,
    as does the ->broadcast function.

    Another single-patch change. For safety, we BUG_ON() in
    clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.

  • 98a79d6a5   cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map ... Browse Code »

    Impact: cleanup

    Each SMP arch defines these themselves. Move them to a central
    location.

    Twists:
    1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
    CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

    2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
    Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

    3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
    so I just manipulate them both in sync.

    4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
    declarations.

    mconsole_init() passed 256 bytes as length in os_create_unix_socket, while
    the sizeof UNIX_PATH_MAX is 108. This patch fixes that problem and avoids
    a big overrun bug reported on UML bootup.

    sockaddr_un.sun_path is UNIX_PATH_MAX long which causes the problem.

    Pass credentials through dentry_open() so that the COW creds patch can have
    SELinux's flush_unauthorized_files() pass the appropriate creds back to itself
    when it opens its null chardev.

    The security_dentry_open() call also now takes a creds pointer, as does the
    dentry_open hook in struct security_operations.
