Paul Mundt 9b14ec35f0 binfmt_elf_fdpic: Magical stack pointer index, for NEW_AUX_ENT compat.
While implementing binfmt_elf_fdpic on SH it quickly became apparent
that SH was the first platform to support both binfmt_elf_fdpic and
binfmt_elf, as well as the only of the FDPIC platforms to make use of the
auxvt.

Currently binfmt_elf_fdpic uses a special version of NEW_AUX_ENT() where
the first argument is the entry displacement after csp has been adjusted,
being reset after each adjustment. As we have no ability to sort this out
through the platform's ARCH_DLINFO, this index needs to be managed
entirely in create_elf_fdpic_tables(). Presently none of the platforms
that set their own auxvt entries are able to do so through their
respective ARCH_DLINFOs when using binfmt_elf_fdpic.

In addition to this, binfmt_elf_fdpic has been looking at
DLINFO_ARCH_ITEMS for the number of architecture-specific entries in the
auxvt. This is legacy cruft, and is not defined by any platforms in-tree,
even those that make heavy use of the auxvt. AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH is
always available, and contains the number that is of interest here, so we
switch to using that unconditionally as well.

As this has direct bearing on how much stack is used, platforms that have
configurable (or dynamically adjustable) NEW_AUX_ENT calls need to either
make AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH more fine-grained, or leave it as a worst-case
and live with some lost stack space if those entries aren't pushed (some
platforms may also need to purposely sacrifice some space here for
alignment considerations, as noted in the code -- although not an issue
for any FDPIC-capable platform today).

Roland McGrath 6341c393fc tracehook: exec
This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines.

This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks
into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module.  This
change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions
did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does
it immediately after return if successful.  We consolidate the repeated
code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().

Oleg Nesterov 24d5288f06 coredump: elf_core_dump: skip kernel threads
linux_binfmt->core_dump() runs before the process does exit_aio(), this
means that we can hit the kernel thread which shares the same ->mm.
Afaics, nothing really bad can happen, but perhaps it makes sense to fix
this minor bug.

It is sad we have to iterate over all threads in system and use
GFP_ATOMIC.  Hopefully we can kill theses ugly do_each_thread()s, but this
needs some nontrivial changes in mm_struct and do_coredump.

Pavel Emelyanov b488893a39 pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to user
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

Pavel Emelianov a47afb0f9d pid namespaces: round up the API
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

Neil Horman 7dc0b22e3c core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:

1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
   when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
   consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
   at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
   restrictions.

2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
   user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
   crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
   is overridden to zero when called).

3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
   recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
   crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
   mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
   the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
   deadlock.

This patch:

Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Mark Nelson 5b20cd80b4 x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #define
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps.  New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.

This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.

This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
(signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
Freescale have.

Nick Piggin 557ed1fa26 remove ZERO_PAGE
The commit b5810039a5 contains the note

  A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap
  (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to
  the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big
  systems.  There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is
  an issue.

And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).

There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely

I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.

Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).

As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.

When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.

Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.

The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked.  I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks.  All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

Ollie Wild b6a2fea393 mm: variable length argument support
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.

We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space.  Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.

It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.

Before the patch is applied, the bug can be seen by examining, say, inetd:

 	3273467584 0 0 4096 90115 3221712796 0 0 17 0 0 0 0

The code boundaries are 3233480704 to 3233523592, which are:

	(gdb) p/x 3233480704
	$1 = 0xc0bb0000
	(gdb) p/x 3233523592
	$2 = 0xc0bba788

Which corresponds to this line in the maps file:

	c0bb0000-c0bba788 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 14582157  /lib/ld-uClibc-0.9.28.so

Which is wrong.  After the patch is applied, the maps file is pretty much
identical (there's some minor shuffling of the location of some of the
anonymous VMAs), but the stat file is now:

	# cat /proc/610/stat
	610 (inetd) S 1 610 610 0 -1 256 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 0 18 0 1 0 94392000722

	3273467584 0 0 4096 90115 3221712796 0 0 17 0 0 0 0

The code boundaries are then 3276111872 to 3276141668, which are:

	(gdb) p/x 3276111872
	$1 = 0xc3458000
	(gdb) p/x 3276141668
	$2 = 0xc345f464

And these correspond to this line in the maps file instead:

	c3458000-c345f464 r-xs 00000000 00:0b 16384612  /usr/sbin/inetd

Which is now correct.

users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

Magnus Damm 386d9a7edd [PATCH] elf: Always define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h
Define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h.  The size of the type is determined using
ELF_CLASS.  This allows us to remove the defines that today are spread all
over .c and .h files.

Oleg Nesterov bce9a234ce [PATCH] elf_fdpic_core_dump: don't take tasklist_lock
do_each_thread() is rcu-safe, and all tasks which use this ->mm must sleep
in wait_for_completion(&mm->core_done) at this point, so we can use RCU
locks.

Also, remove unneeded INIT_LIST_HEAD(new) before list_add(new, head).

David Howells 8a2ab7f5df [PATCH] FDPIC: Adjust the ELF-FDPIC driver to conform more to the CodingStyle
Adjust the ELF-FDPIC binfmt driver to conform much more to the CodingStyle,
silly though it may be.

Further changes:

 (*) Drop the casts to long for addresses in kdebug() statements (they're
     unsigned long already).

 (*) Use extra variables to avoid expressions longer than 80 chars by splitting
     the statement into multiple statements and letting the compiler optimise
     them back together.

 (*) Eliminate duplicate call of ksize() when working out how much space was
     actually allocated for the stack.

 (*) Discard the commented-out load_shlib prototype and op pointer as this will
     not be supported in ELF-FDPIC for the foreseeable future.

Hugh Dickins 404351e67a [PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_counters
How is anon_rss initialized?  In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but
that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type.  And how is rss
initialized?  By set_mm_counter, all over the place.  Come on, we just need to
initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the
memcpy when forking).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
