  • 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.

  • 404351e67   [PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_counters ... Browse Code »

    How is anon_rss initialized? In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but
    that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type. And how is rss
    initialized? By set_mm_counter, all over the place. Come on, we just need to
    initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the
    memcpy when forking).

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
