| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation to prune things out of the Sparc, PowerPC and Microblaze asm/prom.h files, change the #include statements to ensure that even if asm/prom.h is included first, linux/of.h gets to determine the order in which files are processed. This patch adds a #include <linux/of.h> to each of the prom.h files *above* the multi-include protection macros to ensure that linux/of.h can define things before prom.h gets processed. At the end of the merge the cross dependencies between the files should be gone and a sane #include scheme can be restored. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Acked-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that sys_sysctl is an emulation on top of proc sys all sysctl operations look like normal filesystem operations and we don't need to use the special sysctl hook to authenticate them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | proc mount. With the change of sys_sysctl going through the internal proc mount we no longer need to handle security_sysctl in tomoyo as we have valid pathnames for all sysctl accesses. There is one slight caveat to that in that all of the paths from the internal mount look like "/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" instead of "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range" so tomoyo needs to add the "/proc" portion manually when resolving to full path names to get what it expects. This change teaches tomoyo perform that modification. Acked-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Acked-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Remove them. Remove a smattering of ctl_names used in sysctl paths, and kill the ctl_names in the recently added mach-bcmring. mach-bcmring never should have had sysctl entries with .ctl_name set. The binary sysctl interface has been frozen for a long time before that code was merged, to prevent probmes with conflicts and lack of testing. The sysctl_check code would have caught this if anyone had ever tested it that way. So I have simply dropped the binary sysctl support instead of adding another compat entry into sysctl_binary.c.

| * | | sysctl: Warn about all uses of sys_sysctl.Eric W. Biederman2009-11-111-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the glibc pthread implemenation no longers uses sysctl() users of sysctl are as rare as hen's teeth. So remove the glibc exception from the warning, and use the standard printk_ratelimit instead of rolling our own. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
| * | | sysctl: Don't look at ctl_name and strategy in the generic codeEric W. Biederman2009-11-113-39/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ctl_name and strategy fields are unused, now that sys_sysctl is a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys. No longer looking at them in the generic code is effectively what we are doing now and provides the guarantee that during further cleanups we can just remove references to those fields and everything will work ok.

| * | | sysctl: Remove references to ctl_name and strategy from the generic sysctl tableEric W. Biederman2009-11-111-188/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys .ctl_name and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
| * | | sysctl: Remove dead code from sysctl_checkEric W. Biederman2009-11-112-1374/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the sys_sysctl is now a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sys we can remove much of sysctl_check and reduce it to a few remaining sanity checks. This completely decouples it from the binary sysctl system call. Little things like ensuring that the sysctl has not already been registered are all that remain. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| * | | sysctl: Neuter the generic sysctl strategy routines.Eric W. Biederman2009-11-111-198/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that sys_sysctl is a compatibility layer on top of /proc/sys these routines are never called but are still put in sysctl tables so I have reduced them to stubs until they can be removed entirely.

| * | | sysctl: Reduce sys_sysctl to a compatibility wrapper around /proc/sysEric W. Biederman2009-11-112-102/+1384
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To simply maintenance and to be able to remove all of the binary sysctl support from various subsystems I have rewritten the binary sysctl code as a compatibility wrapper around proc/sys. The code is built around a hard coded table based on the table in sysctl_check.c that lists all of our current binary sysctls and provides enough information to convert from the sysctl binary input into into ascii and back again. New in this patch is the realization that the only dynamic entries that need to be handled have ifname as the asscii string and ifindex as their ctl_name. When a sys_sysctl is called the code now looks in the translation table converting the binary name to the path under /proc where the value is to be found. Opens that file, and calls into a format conversion wrapper that calls fop->read and then fop->write as appropriate. Since in practice the practically no one uses or tests sys_sysctl rewritting the code to be beautiful is a little silly. The redeeming merit of this work is it allows us to rip out all of the binary sysctl syscall support from everywhere else in the tree. Allowing us to remove a lot of dead (after this patch) and barely maintained code. In addition it becomes much easier to optimize the sysctl implementation for being the backing store of /proc/sys, without having to worry about sys_sysctl. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| * | | sysctl: Make do_sysctl staticEric W. Biederman2009-11-062-5/+1

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that all architechtures are use compat_sys_sysctl and sys32_sysctl does not exist there is not point in retaining a cond_syscall entry for it. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
| * | | sysctl: x86 Use the compat_sys_sysctlEric W. Biederman2009-11-063-62/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have a generic 32bit compatibility implementation there is no need for x86 to implement it's own.
