The binary interface for the cdrom sysctls can't possilby work. So remove the binary sysctls and update the test for finding out which sysctl table entry we are dealy with to use the procname and not the ctl_name (which I am removing). Signed-off-by:

- In ipv6 ndisc_ifinfo_syctl_change so it doesn't depend on binary sysctl names for a function that works with proc. - In neighbour.c reorder the table to put the possibly unused entries at the end so we can remove them by terminating the table early. - In neighbour.c kill the entries with questionable binary sysctl handling behavior. - In neighbour.c if we don't have a strategy routine remove the binary path. So we don't the default sysctl strategy routine on data that is not ready for it. Signed-off-by:

There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except for returning 0. Which is not always what we want. The few instances I have seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of sysctl_data. While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential for extra bugs. So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a function everyone can use. Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly formed sysctl tables much easier. Signed-off-by:

In sysctl.h the typedef struct ctl_table ctl_table violates coding style isn't needed and is a bit of a nuisance because it makes it harder to recognize ctl_table is a type name. So this patch removes it from the generic sysctl code. Hopefully I will have enough energy to send the rest of my patches will follow and to remove it from the rest of the kernel. Signed-off-by:

If the ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits are set then any mode change is only for clearing the setuid/setgid bits. For NFS, skip the mode change and let the server handle it. Signed-off-by:
-
Jeff Layton authored
When an unprivileged process attempts to modify a file that has the setuid or setgid bits set, the VFS will attempt to clear these bits. The VFS will set the ATTR_KILL_SUID or ATTR_KILL_SGID bits in the ia_valid mask, and then call notify_change to clear these bits and set the mode accordingly. With a networked filesystem (NFS and CIFS in particular but likely others), the client machine or process may not have credentials that allow for setting the mode. In some situations, this can lead to file corruption, an operation failing outright because the setattr fails, or to races that lead to a mode change being reverted. In this situation, we'd like to just leave the handling of this to the server and ignore these bits. The problem is that by the time the setattr op is called, the VFS has already reinterpreted the ATTR_KILL_* bits into a mode change. The setattr operation has no way to know its intent. The following patch fixes this by making notify_change no longer clear the ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID bits in the ia_valid before handing it off to the setattr inode op. setattr can then check for the presence of these bits, and if they're set it can assume that the mode change was only for the purposes of clearing these bits. This means that we now have an implicit assumption that notify_change is never called with ATTR_MODE and either ATTR_KILL_S*ID bit set. Nothing currently enforces that, so this patch also adds a BUG() if that occurs. Signed-off-by:

reiserfs_setattr can call notify_change recursively using the same iattr struct. This could cause it to trip the BUG() in notify_change. Fix reiserfs to clear those bits near the beginning of the function. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Layton authored
It's theoretically possible for a single SETATTR call to come in that sets the mode and the uid/gid. In that case, don't set the ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits since that would trip the BUG() in notify_change. Just fix up the mode to have the same effect. Signed-off-by:

Make sure ecryptfs doesn't trip the BUG() in notify_change. This also allows the lower filesystem to interpret ATTR_KILL_S*ID in its own way. Signed-off-by:

In order to avoid cache_remove_dev() with that uninitialized cache interface when CPU_DEAD event is delivered we need to have the cache_dev_map cpumask. (We cannot change cache_add_dev() from CPU_ONLINE event handler to CPU_UP_PREPARE event handler. Because cache_add_dev() needs to do cpuid and store the results with its CPU online.)

Akinobu Mita authored
The functions in a CPU notifier chain is called with CPU_UP_PREPARE event before making the CPU online. If one of the callback returns NOTIFY_BAD, it stops to deliver CPU_UP_PREPARE event, and CPU online operation is canceled. Then CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions in a CPU notifier chain again. This CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions which have been called with CPU_UP_PREPARE, not delivered to the functions which haven't been called with CPU_UP_PREPARE. The problem that makes existing cpu hotplug error handlings complex is that the CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the function that has returned NOTIFY_BAD, too. Usually we don't expect to call destructor function against the object that has failed to initialize. It is like: err = register_something(); if (err) { unregister_something(); return err; } So it is natural to deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED event only to the functions that have returned NOTIFY_OK with CPU_UP_PREPARE event and not to call the function that have returned NOTIFY_BAD. This is what this patch is doing. Otherwise, every cpu hotplug notifiler has to track whether notifiler event is failed or not for each cpu. (drivers/base/topology.c is doing this with topology_dev_map) Similary this patch makes same thing with CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED evnets.

Make hibernation_platform_enter() execute the enter-a-sleep-state sequence instead of the mixed shutdown-with-entering-S4 thing. Replace the shutting down of devices done by kernel_shutdown_prepare(), before entering the ACPI S4 sleep state, with suspending them and the shutting down of sysdevs with calling device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND) (just like before entering S1 or S3, but the target state is now S4). Also, disable the nonboot CPUs before entering the sleep state (S4), which generally always is a good idea. This is known to fix the "double disk spin down during hibernation" on some machines, eg. HPC nx6325 (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/7/316 and the following thread). Moreover, it has been reported to make /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm work correctly with hibernation for some users. It also generally causes the hibernation state (ACPI S4) to be entered faster. Signed-off-by:

The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325): * Hibernate with ACPI enabled * Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called (ie. with interrupts disabled). Enabling ACPI after calling device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient. For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel. To make it work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c (it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point). Signed-off-by:

Use temporary page tables for the kernel text mapping during hibernation restore on x86_64. Without the patch, the original boot kernel's page tables that represent the kernel text mapping are used while the core of the image kernel is being restored. However, in principle, if the boot kernel is not identical to the image kernel, the location of these page tables in the image kernel need not be the same, so we should create a safe copy of the kernel text mapping prior to restoring the core of the image kernel.

Since we already pass the address of restore_registers() in the image header, we can also pass the value of the CR3 register from before the hibernation in the same way. This will allow us to avoid using init_level4_pgt page tables during the restore. Signed-off-by:

Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a kernel different from the one in the image. The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to place each of them in a different page. The first part belongs to the boot kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory restoration procedure. Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages. The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored. This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from before the hibernation. The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address. However, this address may be passed to it in the image header. Namely, the part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image kernel. These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure is concerned). It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as compatible. Signed-off-by:

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by:
