copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
It never returns a negative value. The correct return code is -EFAULT and
not -EIO.
All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return
code is passed to the user so we should fix this.

To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.
This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.
The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

alloc_pidmap() calculates max_scan so that if the initial offset != 0 we
inspect the first map->page twice. This is correct, we want to find the
unused bits < offset in this bitmap block. Add the comment.
But it doesn't make any sense to stop the find_next_offset() loop when we
are looking into this map->page for the second time. We have already
already checked the bits >= offset during the first attempt, it is fine to
do this again, no matter if we succeed this time or not.
Remove this hard-to-understand code. It optimizes the very unlikely case
when we are going to fail, but slows down the more likely case.

A program that repeatedly forks and waits is susceptible to having the
same pid repeated, especially when it competes with another instance of
the same program. This is really bad for bash implementation.
Furthermore, many shell scripts assume that pid numbers will not be used
for some length of time.
Race Description:
A B
// pid == offset == n // pid == offset == n + 1
test_and_set_bit(offset, map->page)
test_and_set_bit(offset, map->page);
pid_ns->last_pid = pid;
pid_ns->last_pid = pid;
// pid == n + 1 is freed (wait())
// Next fork()...
last = pid_ns->last_pid; // == n
pid = last + 1;
Code to reproduce it (Running multiple instances is more effective):
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// The distance mod 32768 between two pids, where the first pid is expected
// to be smaller than the second.
int PidDistance(pid_t first, pid_t second) {
return (second + 32768 - first) % 32768;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
int failed = 0;
pid_t last_pid = 0;
int i;
printf("%d\n", sizeof(pid_t));
for (i = 0; i < 10000000; ++i) {
if (i % 32786 == 0)
printf("Iter: %d\n", i/32768);
int child_exit_code = i % 256;
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid == -1) {
fprintf(stderr, "fork failed, iteration %d, errno=%d", i, errno);
exit(1);
}
if (pid == 0) {
// Child

exit_ptrace() takes tasklist_lock unconditionally. We need this lock to
avoid the race with ptrace_traceme(), it acts as a barrier.
Change its caller, forget_original_parent(), to call exit_ptrace() under
tasklist_lock. Change exit_ptrace() to drop and reacquire this lock if
needed.
This allows us to add the fastpath list_empty(ptraced) check. In the
likely no-tracees case exit_ptrace() just returns and we avoid the lock()
+ unlock() sequence.
"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> suggested to add this
check, and he reports that this change adds about 11% improvement in some

Cleanup, no functional changes.
- __set_personality() always changes ->exec_domain/personality, the
special case when ->exec_domain remains the same buys nothing but
complicates the code. Unify both cases to simplify the code.
- The -EINVAL check in sys_personality() was never right. If we assume
that set_personality() can fail we should check the value it returns
instead of verifying that task->personality was actually changed.
Remove it. Before the previous patch it was possible to hit this case
due to overflow problems, but this -EINVAL just indicated the kernel
bug.
OTOH, probably it makes sense to change lookup_exec_domain() to return
ERR_PTR() instead of default_exec_domain if the search in exec_domains
list fails, and report this error to the user-space. But this means
another user-space change, and we have in-kernel users which need fixes.
For example, PER_OSF4 falls into PER_MASK for unkown reason and nobody
cares to register this domain.

When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly
called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC. Hence swap misusage during
hibernation never occurs.
But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page
allcation has __GFP_WAIT. It is better to have a global indication "we
enter hibernation, don't use swap!".
This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation. (All
user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern).
This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between
hibernate_snapshot() and save_image(). Swap is thawed when swsusp_free()
is called. We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur.

This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

We really shouldn't be asking userspace to create new root filesystems.
So follow along with all of the other in-kernel filesystems, and provide
a mount point in sysfs.
For cgroupfs, this should be in /sys/fs/cgroup/ This change provides
that mount point when the cgroup filesystem is registered in the kernel.

The kernel/hotplug sysctl variable (/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file) was
made conditional on CONFIG_NET by commit
f743ca5e10 (applied in 2.6.18) to fix
problems with undefined references in 2.6.16 when CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y &&
!CONFIG_NET, but this restriction is no longer needed.
This patch makes the kernel/hotplug sysctl variable depend only on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

The kernel console interface stores the number of lines it is
configured to use. The kdb debugger can greatly benefit by knowing how
many lines there are on the console for the pager functionality
without having the end user compile in the setting or have to
repeatedly change it at run time.

When an arch such as mips and microblaze does not implement either HW
or software single stepping the debug core should re-enter kdb. The
kdb code will properly ignore the single step operation. Attempting
to single step the kernel without software or hardware support causes
unpredictable kernel crashes.

Presently the usable registers definitions on x86 are not contiguous
for kgdb. The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register
accesses. The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should
not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register
definitions.
Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is
accessed only through the case statement.
This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided
from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the
register. The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the
inputs from the debugger.

The gdbserial 'p' and 'P' packets allow gdb to individually get and

The kdb shell specification includes the ability to get and set
architecture specific registers by name.
For the time being individual register get and set will be implemented
on a per architecture basis. If an architecture defines
DBG_MAX_REG_NUM > 0 then kdb and the gdbstub will use the capability
for individually getting and setting architecture specific registers.

The gdb debugger understands how to parse short versions of the thread
reference string as long as the bytes are paired in sets of two
characters. The kgdb implementation was always sending 8 leading
zeros which could be omitted, and further optimized in the case of
non-negative thread numbers. The negative numbers are used to
reference a specific cpu in the case of kgdb.
An example of the previous i386 stop packet looks like:
T05thread:00000000000003bb;
New stop packet response:
T05thread:03bb;
The previous ThreadInfo response looks like:
m00000000fffffffe,0000000000000001,0000000000000002,0000000000000003,0000000000000004,0000000000000005,0000000000000006,0000000000000007,000000000000000c,0000000000000088,000000000000008a,000000000000008b,000000000000008c,000000000000008d,000000000000008e,00000000000000d4,00000000000000d5,00000000000000dd

A few bytes saved means better response time when using kgdb over a
