* SELinux: move SELINUX_MAGIC into magic.hEric Paris2009-05-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | The selinuxfs superblock magic is used inside the IMA code, but is being defined in two places and could someday get out of sync. This patch moves the declaration into magic.h so it is only done once. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

| * xen: add xenfs to allow usermode <-> Xen interactionAlex Zeffertt2009-01-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode. Initially this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore. Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen. Rather than extending procfs, this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

* | stackprotector: use canary at end of stack to indicate overruns at oops timeEric Sandeen2008-05-261-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches) Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed. This is a very simple implementation with a couple of drawbacks: 1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last word on the stack -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim 2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough that the canary location could get skipped over -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :( With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might do: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680 IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8 PGD 8063 PUD 0 Thread overran stack or stack corrupted Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 ... ... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other thread.

* Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup frameworkPaul Menage2007-10-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic Process Control Groups -------------------------- There have recently been various proposals floating around for resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy cgroups, and others. These all need the basic abstraction of being able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in different ways. This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an aggregate. The intention is that the various resource management and virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup clients, with the result that: - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system. - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their chances of getting into the kernel This patch: Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state objects to tasks.

* KVM: Remove kvmfs in favor of the anonymous inodes sourceAvi Kivity2007-07-161-1/+0
| | | | | | | | kvm uses a pseudo filesystem, kvmfs, to generate inodes, a job that the new anonymous inodes source does much better. Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
* signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode sourceDavide Libenzi2007-05-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*). This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd (and whatever else there'll be).

* [PATCH] Minix V3 supportAndries Brouwer2007-02-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my 2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4. Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work, patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/ Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the filesystem it needed to read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field of the fsinfo structure on Linux: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.
