saved_max_pfn is used to know the amount of memory that the previous kernel used. And for powerpc, we set saved_max_pfn by passing the kernel commandline parameter "savemaxmem=". The only user of saved_max_pfn in powerpc is read_oldmem interface. Since we have removed read_oldmem, we don't need this parameter anymore. Signed-off-by:

/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this interface. And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64 where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386. So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of code. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: mention /dev/oldmem obsolescence in devices.txt] Suggested-by:

924b42d5 ("Use boot based time for process start time and boot time in /proc") updated copy_process/do_task_stat but forgot about de_thread(). This breaks "ps axOT" if a sub-thread execs. Note: I think that task->start_time should die. Signed-off-by:

copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist. In particular it sets "p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if !thread_group_leader(p). This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid. Signed-off-by:

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say, "ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice. We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully initialized. And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list. attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always called after pid_link->pid was already set.

Cleanup and preparation for the next changes. Move the "if (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)" code down under "if (likely(p->pid))" and turn it into into the "else" branch. This makes the process/thread initialization more symmetrical and removes one check. Signed-off-by:

When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0. A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the task passing the uid=0 check. This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource, since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this capability many places since it is so powerful. This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are launched.) Signed-off-by:

"goto end" should not bypass the "Backward compatibility with core_uses_pid" code, move this label up. While at it, - It is ugly to copy '|' into cn->corename and then inc the pointer for argv_split(). Change format_corename() to increment pat_ptr instead. - Remove the dead "if (*pat_ptr == 0)" in format_corename(), we already checked it is not zero. Signed-off-by:

Imho, "atomic_t call_count" is ugly and should die. It buys nothing and in fact it can grow more than necessary, expand doesn't check if it was already incremented by another task. Kill it, and introduce "static int core_name_size" updated by expand_corename(). This is obviously racy too but harmless, and core_name_size never grows for no reason. We do not bother to to calculate the "right" new size, we simply do kmalloc(size_we_need) and use ksize() to rely on kmalloc_index's decision. Finally change format_corename() to use expand_corename(), krealloc(NULL) is fine. Signed-off-by:

The usage of cn_escape() looks really annoying, imho this sequence needs a wrapper. And it is buggy. If cn_printf() does expand_corename() cn_escape() writes to the freed memory. Introduce cn_esc_printf() which hopefully does this all right. It records the index before cn_vprintf(), not "char *" which is no longer valid (in general) after krealloc(). Signed-off-by:

cn_vprintf() looks really overcomplicated and sub-optimal. We do not need vsnprintf(NULL) to calculate the size we need, we can simply try to print into the current buffer and expand/retry only if necessary. Signed-off-by:

do_coredump() assumes that format_corename() can only fail if expand_corename() fails and frees cn->corename. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can fail and in this case nobody frees cn->corename. Change do_coredump() to always do kfree(cn->corename) after it calls format_corename() (NULL is fine), change expand_corename() to do nothing if kmalloc() fails. Signed-off-by:

call_usermodehelper_exec() does nothing but returns success if path[0] == 0. The only user which needs this strange feature is request_module(), it can check modprobe_path[0] itself like other users do if they want to detect the "disabled by admin" case. Kill it. Not only it looks strange, it can confuse other callers. And this allows us to revert 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check subprocess_info->path != NULL"), do_execve(NULL) is safe. Signed-off-by:

crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE. Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals. This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing. This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask. I think gdb can use this commands too. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: be consistent with brace layout] Signed-off-by:

Currently, NILFS2 returns 0 as free inodes count (f_ffree) and current used inodes count as total file nodes in file system (f_files): df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/loop0 2 2 0 100% /mnt/nilfs2 This patch implements real calculation of free inodes count. First of all, it is calculated total file nodes in file system as (desc_blocks_count * groups_per_desc_block * entries_per_group). Then, it is calculated free inodes count as difference the total file nodes and used inodes count. As a result, we have such output for NILFS2: df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/loop0 4194304 2114701 2079603 51% /mnt/nilfs2 Reported-by:

On CSR SiRFprimaII/atlasVI, there is a programmable 16-bit divider (RTC_DIV) that divides the input 32.768KHz clock to the frequency that users need (E.g. 1 Hz). The divided real-time clock will be used to drive a 32-bit counter (RTC_COUNTER) that provides users with the actual time. In each cycle of the divided real-time clock, there is a Hertz interrupt generated to the RISC. Users can also configure an alarm (RTC_ALARM). When RTC_COUNTER matches the alarm, there will be an alarm interrupt generated to the RISC. The system RTC can generate an alarm wake-up signal to notify the power controller to wake up from power saving mode. Signed-off-by:

rtc-omap driver modules is used both by OMAP1/2, Davinci SoC platforms. However, rtc wake support on OMAP1 is broken. Hence the device_init_wakeup() was removed from rtc-omap driver and moved to platform board files that supported it (DA850/OMAP-L138). [1] However, recently [2] it was suggested that driver should always do a device_init_wakeup(dev, true). Platforms that don't want/need wakeup support can disable it from userspace via: echo disabled > /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup Also, with the new DT boot-up, board file doesn't exist and hence there is no way to have device wakeup support rtc. The fix for above issues, is to hard code device_init_wakeup() inside driver and let platforms that don't need this, handle it through the sysfs power entry.

The bios may clear the rtc control register when resuming the system. Since the cmos interrupt handler may now be run before the rtc_cmos is resumed, this can cause the interrupt handler to ignore an alarm since the alarm bit is not set in the rtc control register. To work around this, check if the rtc_cmos is suspended and use the stored value for the rtc control register. Signed-off-by:
