  • For architectures that define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, instead of having them
    provide the complete touch_nmi_watchdog() function, just have them
    provide arch_touch_nmi_watchdog().

    This gives the generic code more flexibility in implementing this
    function, and arch implementations don't miss out on touching the
    softlockup watchdog or other generic details.

  • This adds the new getsockopt(2) option SO_PEERGROUPS on SOL_SOCKET to
    retrieve the auxiliary groups of the remote peer. It is designed to
    naturally extend SO_PEERCRED. That is, the underlying data is from the
    same credentials. Regarding its syntax, it is based on SO_PEERSEC. That
    is, if the provided buffer is too small, ERANGE is returned and @optlen
    is updated. Otherwise, the information is copied, @optlen is set to the
    actual size, and 0 is returned.

    While SO_PEERCRED (and thus `struct ucred') already returns the primary
    group, it lacks the auxiliary group vector. However, nearly all access
    controls (including kernel side VFS and SYSVIPC, but also user-space
    polkit, DBus, ...) consider the entire set of groups, rather than just
    the primary group. But this is currently not possible with pure
    SO_PEERCRED. Instead, user-space has to work around this and query the
    system database for the auxiliary groups of a UID retrieved via
    SO_PEERCRED.

    Unfortunately, there is no race-free way to query the auxiliary groups
    of the PID/UID retrieved via SO_PEERCRED. Hence, the current user-space
    solution is to use getgrouplist(3p), which itself falls back to NSS and
    whatever is configured in nsswitch.conf(3). This effectively checks
    which groups we *would* assign to the user if it logged in *now*. On
    normal systems it is as easy as reading /etc/group, but with NSS it can
    resort to quering network databases (eg., LDAP), using IPC or network
    communication.

    Long story short: Whenever we want to use auxiliary groups for access
    checks on IPC, we need further IPC to talk to the user/group databases,
    rather than just relying on SO_PEERCRED and the incoming socket. This
    is unfortunate, and might even result in dead-locks if the database
    query uses the same IPC as the original request.

    So far, those recursions / dead-locks have been avoided by using
    primitive IPC for all crucial NSS modules. However, we want to avoid
    re-inventing the wheel for each NSS module that might be involved in
    user/group queries. Hence, we would preferably make DBus (and other IPC
    that supports access-management based on groups) work without resorting
    to the user/group database. This new SO_PEERGROUPS ioctl would allow us
    to make dbus-daemon work without ever calling into NSS.

  • Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
    forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
    detected after the release is out.

    In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
    useless to have an exhaustive list.

    After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
    exported (with make headers_install_all):

  • In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
    all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
    ->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
    clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
    ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

    Make the mn10300 arch's clockevent driver initialize these fields properly.

    This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
    clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
    and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
    purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this
    driver.

  • Introduce a new getsockopt operation to retrieve the socket cookie
    for a specific socket based on the socket fd. It returns a unique
    non-decreasing cookie for each socket.

  • This socket option returns the NAPI ID associated with the queue on which
    the last frame is received. This information can be used by the apps to
    split the incoming flows among the threads based on the Rx queue on which
    they are received.

    If the NAPI ID actually represents a sender_cpu then the value is ignored
    and 0 is returned.

  • Allows reading of SK_MEMINFO_VARS via socket option. This way an
    application can get all meminfo related information in single socket
    option call instead of multiple calls.

    Adds helper function, sk_get_meminfo(), and uses that for both
    getsockopt and sock_diag_put_meminfo().

    Suggested by Eric Dumazet.

  • If an architecture uses 4level-fixup.h we don't need to do anything as
    it includes 5level-fixup.h.

    If an architecture uses pgtable-nop*d.h, define __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK
    before inclusion of the header. It makes asm-generic code to use
    5level-fixup.h.

    If an architecture has 4-level paging or folds levels on its own,
    include 5level-fixup.h directly.
