2005-09-07[PATCH] use get_fs_struct() in procMiklos Szeredi
This patch cleans up proc_cwd_link() and proc_root_link() by factoring out common code into get_fs_struct().

2005-09-07[PATCH] proc: link count fixMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes bug titled "sunrpc as module and bad proc/sys link count" reported by Jiri Slaby. The problem was, that only proc_dir_entry->nlink was updated and the corresponding inode->i_nlink was not. The fix is to implement the inode->getattr() method, and update i_nlink (if necessary). A quick audit of proc code shows that no other attribute changes after creation.

2005-09-05[PATCH] add /proc/pid/smapsMauricio Lin
Add a "smaps" entry to /proc/pid: show howmuch memory is resident in each mapping. People that want to perform a memory consumption analysing can use it mainly if someone needs to figure out which libraries can be reduced for embedded systems. So the new features are the physical size of shared and clean [or dirty]; private and clean [or dirty]. Take a look the example below: # cat /proc/4576/smaps 08048000-080dc000 r-xp /bin/bash Size: 592 KB Rss: 500 KB Shared_Clean: 500 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 0 KB 080dc000-080e2000 rw-p /bin/bash Size: 24 KB Rss: 24 KB Shared_Clean: 0 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 24 KB 080e2000-08116000 rw-p Size: 208 KB Rss: 208 KB Shared_Clean: 0 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 208 KB b7e2b000-b7e34000 r-xp /lib/tls/libnss_files-2.3.2.so Size: 36 KB Rss: 12 KB Shared_Clean: 12 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 0 KB ... (Includes a cleanup from "Richard Purdie" <rpurdie@rpsys.net>) From: Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch@gmx.net> show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after the additional information is also written. The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls it with a real pointer. Now the final if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */ m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0; is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

2005-09-05[PATCH] /proc/<pid>/numa_maps to show on which nodes pages resideChristoph Lameter
This patch was recently discussed on linux-mm: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112085728500002&r=1&w=2 I inherited a large code base from Ray for page migration. There was a small patch in there that I find to be very useful since it allows the display of the locality of the pages in use by a process. I reworked that patch and came up with a /proc/<pid>/numa_maps that gives more information about the vma's of a process. numa_maps is indexes by the start address found in /proc/<pid>/maps. F.e. with this patch you can see the page use of the "getty" process: margin:/proc/12008 # cat maps 00000000-00004000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 2000000000000000-200000000002c000 r-xp 00000000 08:04 516 /lib/ld-2.3.3.so 2000000000038000-2000000000040000 rw-p 00028000 08:04 516 /lib/ld-2.3.3.so 2000000000040000-2000000000044000 rw-p 2000000000040000 00:00 0 2000000000058000-2000000000260000 r-xp 00000000 08:04 54707842 /lib/tls/libc.so.6.1 2000000000260000-2000000000268000 ---p 00208000 08:04 54707842 /lib/tls/libc.so.6.1 2000000000268000-2000000000274000 rw-p 00200000 08:04 54707842 /lib/tls/libc.so.6.1 2000000000274000-2000000000280000 rw-p 2000000000274000 00:00 0 2000000000280000-20000000002b4000 r--p 00000000 08:04 9126923 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_CTYPE 2000000000300000-2000000000308000 r--s 00000000 08:04 60071467 /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache 2000000000318000-2000000000328000 rw-p 2000000000318000 00:00 0 4000000000000000-4000000000008000 r-xp 00000000 08:04 29576399 /sbin/mingetty 6000000000004000-6000000000008000 rw-p 00004000 08:04 29576399 /sbin/mingetty 6000000000008000-600000000002c000 rw-p 6000000000008000 00:00 0 [heap] 60000fff7fffc000-60000fff80000000 rw-p 60000fff7fffc000 00:00 0 60000ffffff44000-60000ffffff98000 rw-p 60000ffffff44000 00:00 0 [stack] a000000000000000-a000000000020000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] cat numa_maps 2000000000000000 default MaxRef=43 Pages=11 Mapped=11 N0=4 N1=3 N2=2 N3=2 2000000000038000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=2 Mapped=2 Anon=2 N0=2 2000000000040000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 2000000000058000 default MaxRef=43 Pages=61 Mapped=61 N0=14 N1=15 N2=16 N3=16 2000000000268000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=2 Mapped=2 Anon=2 N0=2 2000000000274000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=3 Mapped=3 Anon=3 N0=3 2000000000280000 default MaxRef=8 Pages=3 Mapped=3 N0=3 2000000000300000 default MaxRef=8 Pages=2 Mapped=2 N0=2 2000000000318000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N2=1 4000000000000000 default MaxRef=6 Pages=2 Mapped=2 N1=2 6000000000004000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 6000000000008000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 60000fff7fffc000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 60000ffffff44000 default MaxRef=1 Pages=1 Mapped=1 Anon=1 N0=1 getty uses ld.so.

2005-06-23[PATCH] setuid core dumpAlan Cox
Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl: This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are 0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped 1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked. 2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment. (akpm: > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(suid_dumpable); > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? No problem to me. > > if (current->euid == current->uid && current->egid == current->gid) > > current->mm->dumpable = 1; > > Should this be SUID_DUMP_USER? Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used as a bool in untouched code) > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something. Doing that > would help us catch any code which isn't using the #defines, too. Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat rather than for merging.

2005-06-01[PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-treeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things: - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in /proc with random result... - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was buggy and didn't always work anyway. - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching dentry and inode cache bloat. This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

2005-05-01[PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts for /proc/<PID>/taskDaniel Drake
The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a single child task.

Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86031 I also noticed that CONFIG_SECURITY can add a 5th: attr, and performed a similar fix on the task directories too.

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!
