Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problemTODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.Reported-by: spencer@bluehost.com

proc doesn't use "associate pointer with id" feature of IDR, so switch
to IDA.NOTE, NOTE, NOTE:
Do not apply if release_inode_number() still mantions MAX_ID_MASK!Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan
Signed-off-by: Al Viro -
Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes
from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a.Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove()
masks out that high bit before doing anything.All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number().
I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK"
is not an inversion for "& MAX" operation.So, use just one nice, working addition. Make start offset unsigned int,
while I'm at it. It's longness is not used anywhere.Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

* keep references to ctl_table_head and ctl_table in /proc/sys inodes
* grab the former during operations, use the latter for access to
entry if that succeeds
* have ->d_compare() check if table should be seen for one who does lookup;
that allows us to avoid flipping inodes - if we have the same name resolve
to different things, we'll just keep several dentries and ->d_compare()
will reject the wrong ones.
* have ->lookup() and ->readdir() scan the table of our inode first, then
walk all ctl_table_header and scan ->attached_by for those that are
attached to our directory.
* implement ->getattr().
* get rid of insane amounts of tree-walking
* get rid of the need to know dentry in ->permission() and of the contortions
induced by that.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This adds /proc/PID/syscall and /proc/PID/task/TID/syscall magic files.
These use task_current_syscall() to show the task's current system call
number and argument registers, stack pointer and PC. For a task blocked
but not in a syscall, the file shows "-1" in place of the syscall number,
followed by only the SP and PC. For a task that's not blocked, it shows
"running".Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.[ Oleg Nesterov points out that we should check that the task is still
alive before we iterate over the threads, but also says that we can do
that fixup on top of this later. - Linus ]Acked-by: Balbir Singh

Christoph recently added /proc/vmallocinfo file to get information about
vmalloc allocations.This patch adds NUMA specific information, giving number of pages
allocated on each memory node.This should help to check that vmalloc() is able to respect NUMA policies.
Example of output on a four nodes machine (one cpu per node)
1) network hash tables are evenly spreaded on four nodes (OK) (Same
point for inodes and dentries hash tables)2) iptables tables (x_tables) are correctly allocated on each cpu node
(OK).3) sys_swapon() allocates its memory from one node only.
4) each loaded module is using memory on one node.
Sysadmins could tune their setup to change points 3) and 4) if necessary.

Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via
proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to
ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only
read access or full attach access is requested. This allows security
modules to permit access to reading process state without granting
full ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged.Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach
check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task
to already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within
proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the
read mode instead of attach.In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a
reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label. This
enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without
permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are
a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc
but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps,
lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between
allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired)
or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials
via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks).This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler
(change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access
mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking).Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and
ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access
interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0
or -errno vs. 1 or 0). I retained this difference to avoid any
changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by
changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and
by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley

Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to
/proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other
memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even
outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the
kernel will run slower.This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how
many are split.Useful for general insight into the kernel.
v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race.
32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.
Fix some typos
v3: Rename dpages_cnt
Add CONFIG ifdef for count update as requested by tglx
Expand description

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey:
- initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as
advertised- initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in
pagemap_pte_hole()- unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other
(including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't
have permissions)- pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one
looks unneeded.- avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

We were walking right into huge page areas in the pagemap walker, and
calling the pmds pmd_bad() and clearing them.That leaked huge pages. Bad.
This patch at least works around that for now. It ignores huge pages in
the pagemap walker for the time being, and won't leak those pages.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen
