  • Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

    Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
    on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
    exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
    requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
    could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
    new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
    SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
    overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
    protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
    sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
    successfully by me.

    Notes:

    1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
    is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
    Deltas must be computed in user space.

    2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
    also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
    agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
    protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
    and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
    non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
    to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

    3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
    977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

  • Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
    will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by
    using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
    MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
    the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

    The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
    on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
    hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
    meaning to it.

  • Albin Tonnerre reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

    Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
    pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
    arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

    This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
    it is used.

    Notes for the different architectures touched:

    arm - we use an already exported symbol
    cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
    [Not build tested]
    mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
    Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
    the linker script.
    [Not build tested]
    powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
    [not build tested]
    sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
    um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
    xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

  • Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This
    replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does
    not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
    change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this
    will be after a wait*() syscall.

    To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
    cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
    the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
    the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

    The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
    as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
    the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

    Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
    This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
    which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the
    replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
    execution.

    This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
    the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
    alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use
    PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
    keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
    the newpag flag.

    This can be tested with the following program:

    #include
    #include
    #include

    #define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18

    #define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
    key_serial_t keyring, key;
    long ret;

    keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
    OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

    key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
    OSERROR(key, "add_key");

    ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
    OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

    return 0;
    }

    Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

    [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
    Session Keyring
    -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses
    355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043
    [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
    [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
    Session Keyring
    -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses
    1055658746 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a
    [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
    [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
    Session Keyring
    -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello
    340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a

    Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
    'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

  • Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
    available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.

    After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
    alteration of assembly code to make it work.

    Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
    session keyring on the parent of a process.

  • Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to
    retrieve the protocol used with a given socket.

    I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why
    the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex
    numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be
    the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or
    so Google results make me want to believe. SO_PROTOCOL for others
    just uses the next free Linux number, 38.

  • mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

    Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
    will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
    freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

    Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
    virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
    page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
    RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
    entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
    we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

    The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
    too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
    almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
    argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

  • Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
    considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
    implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
    tedious and adding new entries error-prone.

    This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
    end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
    uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
    discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.

    ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
    subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
    image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

  • * create mm/init-mm.c, move init_mm there
    * remove INIT_MM, initialize init_mm with C99 initializer
    * unexport init_mm on all arches:

    init_mm is already unexported on x86.

    One strange place is some OMAP driver (drivers/video/omap/) which
    won't build modular, but it's already wants get_vm_area() export.
    Somebody should look there.

  • Everyone cut and paste this comment from my original one. We now do
    it generically, so cut the comments.

  • Fixes a merge conflict against the x86 tree caused by a fix to
    atomic.h which I renamed to atomic_long.h.

  • The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
    function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
    unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
    and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
    and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
    (e.g. nommu) architectures.

  • The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the
    atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h
    so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h
    that can be used on all non-SMP systems.

  • This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other
    files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform.

    We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included
    from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there.
    We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers
    need the word size but cannot include types.h.

    The solution is to introduce a new header
    that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and
    BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic
    version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides
    it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.
