* [PATCH] Fix regression added by ppoll/pselect code.David S. Miller2006-01-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compat layer timeout handling changes in: 9f72949f679df06021c9e43886c9191494fdb007 are busted. This is most easily seen with an X application that uses sub-second select/poll timeout such as emacs. You hit a key and it takes a second or so before the app responds. The two ROUND_UP() calls upon entry are using {tv,ts}_sec where it should instead be using {tv_usec,ts_nsec}, which perfectly explains the observed incorrect behavior. Another bug shot down with git bisect. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementationDavid Woodhouse2006-01-181-37/+223
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the thread_info. These system calls have to change the signal mask during their operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call. The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the case where there is no handler to be invoked. The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That #ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them with generic versions using the same trick. The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table. This patch: Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

* [PATCH] vfs: *at functions: coreUlrich Drepper2006-01-181-6/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file name. These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous occasions. They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal, they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc. We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the /proc/self/fd magic. But this code is rather expensive. Here are some results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before). The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem. Then rm -fr is used to remove all directories. Without syscall support I get this: real 0m31.921s user 0m0.688s sys 0m31.234s With syscall support the results are much better: real 0m20.699s user 0m0.536s sys 0m20.149s The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used. But they'll be used. coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them. Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using them. I expect a patch to make follow soon. Every program which is walking the filesystem tree will benefit.

* [PATCH] Fix overflow tests for compat_sys_fcntl64 lockingNeilBrown2006-01-081-4/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When making an fctl locking call through compat_sys_fcntl64 (i.e. a 32bit app on a 64bit kernel), the syscall can return a locking range that is in conflict with the queried lock. If some aspect of this range does not fit in the 32bit structure, something needs to be done. The current code is wrong in several respects: - It returns data to userspace even if no conflict was found i.e. it should check l_type for F_UNLCK - It returns -EOVERFLOW too agressively. A lock range covering the last possible byte of the file (start = COMPAT_OFF_T_MAX, len = 1) should be possible, but is rejected with the current test. - A extra-long 'len' should not be a problem. If only that part of the conflicting lock that would be visible to the 32bit app needs to be reported to the 32bit app anyway. This patch addresses those three issues and adds a comment to (hopefully) record it for posterity. Note: this patch mainly affects test-cases. Real applications rarely is ever see the problems. This patch has been tested (LSB test suite), and works.

* Relax the rw_verify_area() error checking.Linus Torvalds2006-01-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, allow over-large read- or write-requests to be downgraded to a more reasonable range, rather than considering them outright errors. We want to protect lower layers from (the sadly all too common) overflow conditions, but prefer to do so by chopping the requests up, rather than just refusing them outright.

* [PATCH] Fix error handling with put_compat_statfs()David Gibson2005-11-221-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In fs/compat.c, whenever put_compat_statfs() returns an error, the containing syscall returns -EFAULT. This is presumably by analogy with the non-compat case, where any non-zero code from copy_to_user() should be translated into an EFAULT. However, put_compat_statfs() is also return -EOVERFLOW. The same applies for put_compat_statfs64(). This bug can be observed with a statfs() on a hugetlbfs directory. hugetlbfs, when mounted without limits reports available, free and total blocks as -1 (itself a bug, another patch coming). statfs() will mysteriously return EFAULT although it's parameters are perfectly valid addresses. This patch causes the compat versions of statfs() and statfs64() to correctly propogate the return values from put_compat_statfs() and put_compat_statfs64().

* [PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in timeHugh Dickins2005-10-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.

* [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_tStephen Rothwell2005-09-071-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few bugs along the way. compat type type in compat arch __compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t __compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

* [PATCH] inotifyRobert Love2005-07-121-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds 32-bit compatibility for mounting an NFSv4 mount on a 64-bit kernel (such as happens with PPC64). The problem is that the mount data for the NFS4 mount process includes auxilliary data pointers, probably because the NFS4 mount data may conceivably exceed PAGE_SIZE in size - thus breaking against the hard limit imposed by sys_mount().

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+1950
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!
