2018-10-18doc: fix a typo in adding-syscalls.rstGuillaume Dore
There was a typo in adding-syscalls.rst that could mislead developers to add a C filename in a makefile instead of an object filename. This error, while not keeping developers from contributing could slow the development process down by introducing build errors.

2018-10-12doc: printk-formats: Remove bogus kobject references for device nodesGeert Uytterhoeven
When converting from text to rst, the kobjects section and its sole subsection about device tree nodes were coalesced into a single section, yielding an inconsistent result. Remove all references to kobjects, as 1. Device tree object pointers are not compatible to kobject pointers (the former may embed the latter, though), and 2. there are no printk formats defined for kobject types. Update the vsprintf() source code comments to match the above. Fixes: b3ed23213eab1e08 ("doc: convert printk-formats.txt to rst") Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2018-10-12Documentation: preempt-locking: Use better exampleAndrew Murray
The existing wording implies that the use of spin_unlock whilst irqs are disabled might trigger a reschedule. However the preemptible() test in preempt_schedule will prevent a reschedule if irqs are disabled. Lets improve the clarity of this wording to change the example from spin_unlock to cond_resched() and cond_resched_lock() as these are functions that will trigger a reschedule if the preempt count is 0 without testing that irqs are disabled. Also remove the 'Last Updated' line as this is not up to date and better tracked via GIT. Signed-off-by: Andrew Murray <andrew.murray@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2018-10-12dm flakey: Document "error_writes" featureNikolay Borisov
Commit ef548c551e72 ("dm flakey: introduce "error_writes" feature") added the ability to dm flakey to error out writes in contrast to silently dropping it with 'drop_writes'. Unfortunately this feature is not currently documented and one has to be either familiar with the source code of dm flakey or check out xfstests sources to know of this parameter. So document it.

2018-10-07docs: improve readability for people with poorer eyesightDarrick J. Wong
My eyesight is not in good shape, which means that I have difficulty reading the online Linux documentation. Specifically, body text is oddly small compared to list items and the contrast of various text elements is too low for me to be able to see easily. Therefore, alter the HTML theme overrides to make the text larger and increase the contrast for better visibility, and trust the typeface choices of the reader's browser. For the PDF output, increase the text size, use a sans-serif typeface for sans-serif text, and use a serif typeface for "roman" serif text. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2018-09-09Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

2018-08-24arm64: dts: Fix various entry-method properties to reflect documentationAmit Kucheria
The idle-states binding documentation[1] mentions that the 'entry-method' property is required on 64-bit platforms and must be set to "psci". commit a13f18f59d26 ("Documentation: arm: Fix typo in the idle-states bindings examples") attempted to fix this earlier but clearly more is needed. Fix the cpu-capacity.txt documentation that uses the incorrect value so we don't get copy-paste errors like these. Clarify the language in idle-states.txt by removing the reference to the psci bindings that might be causing this confusion. Finally, fix devicetrees of various boards to reflect current documentation.

Almost all files in the kernel are either plain text or UTF-8 encoded. A couple however are ISO_8859-1, usually just a few characters in a C comments, for historic reasons. This converts them all to UTF-8 for consistency.

2018-08-23namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular filesSalvatore Mesoraca
Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.
