  • 92b2dc79c   x86: remove STR() macros ... Browse Code »

    This patch removes the __STR() and STR() macros from x86_64 header files.
    They seem to be legacy, and has no more users. Even if there were users,
    they should use __stringify() instead.

    In fact, there were one third place in which this macro was defined
    (ia32_binfmt.c), and used just below. In this file, usage was properly
    converted to __stringify()

  • 2f62c9417   x86_64: Fix compat emulation of PTRACE_GET/SET_THREAD_AREA ... Browse Code »

    Since the 64bit kernel has different indexes for this TLS segments
    the address needs to be adjusted in the ptrace 32bit emulation.

    Previously the data from before the exec was kept in there. Zero
    them instead.

  • af7e6a746   x86_64: install unstripped copies of compat vdso on disk ... Browse Code »

    This keeps an unstripped copy of the vDSO images built before they are
    stripped and embedded in the kernel. The unstripped copies get installed
    in $(MODLIB)/vdso/ by "make install" (or you can explicitly use the
    subtarget "make vdso_install"). These files can be useful when they
    contain source-level debugging information.

  • cba4fbbff   remove include/asm-*/ipc.h ... Browse Code »

    All asm/ipc.h files do only #include .

    This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the
    contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h.

  • 7dc0b22e3   core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe ... Browse Code »

    For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
    destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
    intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some
    shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically:

    1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
    when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
    consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
    at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
    restrictions.

    2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
    user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the
    crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
    is overridden to zero when called).

    3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
    recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
    crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
    mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
    the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
    deadlock.

    This patch:

    Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that
    core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

  • 5b20cd80b   x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #define ... Browse Code »

    Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
    allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
    floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be
    added with an appropriate #define.

    This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
    current users so there's are no change in behaviour.

    This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
    state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
    (signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
    Freescale have.
