  • 4e57b6817   [PATCH] fix missing includes ... Browse Code »

    I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
    sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
    from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
    by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
    this disentangling (patch to follow later).
    However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

    In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
    possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
    i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
    patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
    adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
    hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
    will pick it up again in the next round.

  • a241ec65a   [PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel module ... Browse Code »

    This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules
    (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2).

    This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an
    intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the
    continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks,
    CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file
    that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how
    to run the test and interpret the output is also included.

    This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the
    code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of
    the PREEMPT_RT patchset.

  • 29db91906   [PATCH] Keys: Add LSM hooks for key management [try #3] ... Browse Code »

    The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable
    changes are:

    (1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security
    modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which
    programs may access a key.

    (2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key.

    (3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules;
    the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out.

    (4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather
    than a boolean value.

    (5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of
    attributes (UID, GID, permissions).

    Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation,
    but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based
    on the permission request bits.

    Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both
    CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.

    This should be applied on top of the patch ensubjected:

    Removed some more references to check_region().

    I checked these changes into the 'checkreg' branch of
    rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git

    The only valid references remaining are in:
    drivers/scsi/advansys.c
    drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c
    drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.c
    sound/oss/pss.c

    Remove last vestiges of ide_check_region()
    drivers/char/specialix: trim trailing whitespace
    drivers/char/specialix: eliminate use of check_region()
    Remove outdated and unused references to check_region()
    [sound oss] remove check_region() usage from cs4232, wavfront
    [netdrvr eepro] trim trailing whitespace
    [netdrvr eepro] remove check_region() usage

  • 663b97f7e   [PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlock ... Browse Code »

    There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch:
    mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4,
    but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6.

    On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which
    has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so
    proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on
    page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a
    bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm,
    so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there.

    Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and
    flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what
    generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now
    changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic
    tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under
    and sometimes not?).

  • f9c98d028   [PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swap ... Browse Code »

    Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be
    excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it
    hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving
    deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is
    to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time;
    yet we keep on breaking it more and more.

    If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already
    provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the
    extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for
    other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt
    for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all.

    I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.
