- Stop validating subdirectories now that we only register leaf tables - Cleanup and improve the duplicate filename check. * Run the duplicate filename check under the sysctl_lock to guarantee we never add duplicate names. * Reduce the duplicate filename check to nearly O(M*N) where M is the number of entries in tthe table we are registering and N is the number of entries in the directory before we got there. - Move the duplicate filename check into it's own function and call it directtly from __register_sysctl_table - Kill the config option as the sanity checks are now cheap enough the config option is unnecessary. The original reason for the config option was because we had a huge table used to verify the proc filename to binary sysctl mapping. That table has now evolved into the binary_sysctl translation layer and is no longer part of the sysctl_check code. - Tighten up the permission checks. Guarnateeing that files only have read or write permissions. - Removed redudant check for parents having a procname as now everything has a procname. - Generalize the backtrace logic so that we print a backtrace from any failure of __register_sysctl_table that was not caused by a memmory allocation failure. The backtrace allows us to track down who erroneously registered a sysctl table. Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=y): make-dummies 0 999 -> 12s rmmod dummy -> 0.08s Bechmark before (CONFIG_SYSCTL_CHECK=n): make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.7s rmmod dummy -> 0.06s make-dummies 0 99999 -> 1m13s rmmod dummy -> 0.38s Benchmark after: make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.65s rmmod dummy -> 0.055s make-dummies 0 9999 -> 1m10s rmmod dummy -> 0.39s The sysctl sanity checks now impose no measurable cost.

Split the registration of a complex ctl_table array which may have arbitrary numbers of directories (->child != NULL) and tables of files into a series of simpler registrations that only register tables of files. Graphically: register('dir', { + file-a + file-b + subdir1 + file-c + subdir2 + file-d + file-e }) is transformed into: wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b}) wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c}) wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e}) return wrapper This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL). Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to __register_sysctl_table whenever possible. This change is derived from a similar patch written by Lucrian Grijincu.

For any component of table passed to __register_sysctl_paths that actually serves as a path, add that to the cstring path that is passed to __register_sysctl_table. The result is that for most calls to __register_sysctl_paths we only pass a table to __register_sysctl_table that contains no child directories. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Make __register_sysctl_table the core sysctl registration operation and make it take a char * string as path. Now that binary paths have been banished into the real of backwards compatibility in kernel/binary_sysctl.c where they can be safely ignored there is no longer a need to use struct ctl_path to represent path names when registering ctl_tables. Start the transition to using normal char * strings to represent pathnames when registering sysctl tables. Normal strings are easier to deal with both in the internal sysctl implementation and for programmers registering sysctl tables. __register_sysctl_paths is turned into a backwards compatibility wrapper that converts a ctl_path array into a normal char * string.

Eric W. Biederman authored
Creating local copies of directory names is a good idea for two reasons. - The dynamic names used by callers must be copied into new strings by the callers today to ensure the strings do not change between register and unregister of the sysctl table. - Sysctl directories have a potentially different lifetime than the time between register and unregister of any particular sysctl table.

I goofed when I made sysctl directories have nlink == 0. nlink == 0 means the directory has been deleted. nlink == 1 meands a directory does not count subdirectories. Use the default nlink == 1 for sysctl directories. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Move the core sysctl code from kernel/sysctl.c and kernel/sysctl_check.c into fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Currently sysctl maintenance is hampered by the sysctl implementation being split across 3 files with artificial layering between them. Consolidate the entire sysctl implementation into 1 file so that it is easier to see what is going on and hopefully allowing for simpler maintenance. For functions that are now only used in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c remove their declarations from sysctl.h and make them static in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Simplify the code by treating the base sysctl table like any other sysctl table and register it with register_sysctl_table. To ensure this table is registered early enough to avoid problems call sysctl_init from proc_sys_init. Rename sysctl_net.c:sysctl_init() to net_sysctl_init() to avoid name conflicts now that kernel/sysctl.c:sysctl_init() is no longer static. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

Remove checks for conditions that will never happen. If procname is NULL the loop would already had bailed out, so there's no need to check it again. At the same time this also compacts the function find_in_table() by refactoring it to be easier to read.

This patch fixes an (ACPI S3) suspend regression introduced in commit 68d6e671 ("tpm: Introduce function to poll for result of self test") and occurring with an Infineon TPM and tpm_tis and tpm_infineon drivers active. The suspend problem occurred if the TPM was disabled and/or deactivated and therefore the TPM_PCRRead checking the result of the (asynchronous) self test returned an error code which then caused the tpm_tis driver to become inactive and this then seemed to have negatively influenced the suspend support by the tpm_infineon driver... Besides that the tpm_tis drive may stay active even if the TPM is disabled and/or deactivated. Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Rafael J.
