      [PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version · 4f3865fb
      Richard Purdie authored
      Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
      version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.
      
      The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
      external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
      than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).
      
      For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
      on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement.  I don't
      consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
      change the zlib_deflate code.
      
      Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
      significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
      This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
      work.
      
      This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
      enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32.  JFFS2 sees an approx.  10% real
      world file read speed improvement.
      
      This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
      We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
      take care of that for us.  This removal is also more in keeping with the
      zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
      added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

      [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use · 4f1bcaf0
      Bjorn Helgaas authored
      VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures.  It makes sense
      to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
      vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
      
      But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
      we aren't going to access memory starting there.  On ia64, which always has
      to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
      incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
      nonsense.
      
      As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
      correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

      [PATCH] Fix dcache race during umount · 0feae5c4
      NeilBrown authored
      The race is that the shrink_dcache_memory shrinker could get called while a
      filesystem is being unmounted, and could try to prune a dentry belonging to
      that filesystem.
      
      If it does, then it will call in to iput on the inode while the dentry is
      no longer able to be found by the umounting process.  If iput takes a
      while, generic_shutdown_super could get all the way though
      shrink_dcache_parent and shrink_dcache_anon and invalidate_inodes without
      ever waiting on this particular inode.
      
      Eventually the superblock gets freed anyway and if the iput tried to touch
      it (which some filesystems certainly do), it will lose.  The promised
      "Self-destruct in 5 seconds" doesn't lead to a nice day.
      
      The race is closed by holding s_umount while calling prune_one_dentry on
      someone else's dentry.  As a down_read_trylock is used,
      shrink_dcache_memory will no longer try to prune the dentry of a filesystem
      that is being unmounted, and unmount will not be able to start until any
      such active prune_one_dentry completes.
      
      This requires that prune_dcache *knows* which filesystem (if any) it is
      doing the prune on behalf of so that it can be careful of other
      filesystems.  shrink_dcache_memory isn't called it on behalf of any
      filesystem, and so is careful of everything.
      
      shrink_dcache_anon is now passed a super_block rather than the s_anon list
      out of the superblock, so it can get the s_anon list itself, and can pass
      the superblock down to prune_dcache.
      
      If prune_dcache finds a dentry that it cannot free, it leaves it where it
      is (at the tail of the list) and exits, on the assumption that some other
      thread will be removing that dentry soon.  To try to make sure that some
      work gets done, a limited number of dnetries which are untouchable are
      skipped over while choosing the dentry to work on.
      
      I believe this race was first found by Kirill Korotaev.

      [PATCH] remove steal_locks() · c89681ed
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      This patch removes the steal_locks() function.
      
      steal_locks() doesn't work correctly with any filesystem that does it's own
      lock management, including NFS, CIFS, etc.
      
      In addition it has weird semantics on local filesystems in case tasks
      sharing file-descriptor tables are doing POSIX locking operations in
      parallel to execve().
      
      The steal_locks() function has an effect on applications doing:
      
      clone(CLONE_FILES)
        /* in child */
        lock
        execve
        lock
      
      POSIX locks acquired before execve (by "child", "parent" or any further
      task sharing files_struct) will after the execve be owned exclusively by
      "child".
      
      According to Chris Wright some LSB/LTP kind of suite triggers without the
      stealing behavior, but there's no known real-world application that would
      also fail.
      
      Apps using NPTL are not affected, since all other threads are killed before
      execve.
      
      Apps using LinuxThreads are only affected if they
      
        - have multiple threads during exec (LinuxThreads doesn't kill other
          threads, the app may do it with pthread_kill_other_threads_np())
        - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec
      
      Both conditions are documented, but not their interaction.
      
      Apps using clone() natively are affected if they
      
        - use clone(CLONE_FILES)
        - rely on POSIX locks being inherited across exec
      
      The above scenarios are unlikely, but possible.
      
      If the patch is vetoed, there's a plan B, that involves mostly keeping the
      weird stealing semantics, but changing the way lock ownership is handled so
      that network and local filesystems work consistently.
      
      That would add more complexity though, so this solution seems to be
      preferred by most people.

      [PATCH] Fix a race condition between ->i_mapping and iput() · 09d967c6
      OGAWA Hirofumi authored
      This race became a cause of oops, and can reproduce by the following.
      
          while true; do
      	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/.static/dev/hdg1 bs=512 count=1000 & sync
          done
      
      This race condition was between __sync_single_inode() and iput().
      
                cpu0 (fs's inode)                 cpu1 (bdev's inode)
                -----------------                 -------------------
                                             close("/dev/hda2")
                                             [...]
      __sync_single_inode()
         /* copy the bdev's ->i_mapping */
         mapping = inode->i_mapping;
      
                                             generic_forget_inode()
                                                bdev_clear_inode()
      					     /* restre the fs's ->i_mapping */
      				             inode->i_mapping = &inode->i_data;
      				          /* bdev's inode was freed */
                                                destroy_inode(inode);
      
         if (wait) {
            /* dereference a freed bdev's mapping->host */
            filemap_fdatawait(mapping);  /* Oops */
      
      Since __sync_single_inode() is only taking a ref-count of fs's inode, the
      another process can be close() and freeing the bdev's inode while writing
      fs's inode.  So, __sync_signle_inode() accesses the freed ->i_mapping,
      oops.
      
      This patch takes a ref-count on the bdev's inode for the fs's inode before
      setting a ->i_mapping, and the clear_inode() of the fs's inode does iput() on
      the bdev's inode.  So if the fs's inode is still living, bdev's inode
      shouldn't be freed.

      [PATCH] Keys: Fix race between two instantiators of a key · 04c567d9
      David Howells authored
      Add a revocation notification method to the key type and calls it whilst
      the key's semaphore is still write-locked after setting the revocation
      flag.
      
      The patch then uses this to maintain a reference on the task_struct of the
      process that calls request_key() for as long as the authorisation key
      remains unrevoked.
      
      This fixes a potential race between two processes both of which have
      assumed the authority to instantiate a key (one may have forked the other
      for example).  The problem is that there's no locking around the check for
      revocation of the auth key and the use of the task_struct it points to, nor
      does the auth key keep a reference on the task_struct.
      
      Access to the "context" pointer in the auth key must thenceforth be done
      with the auth key semaphore held.  The revocation method is called with the
      target key semaphore held write-locked and the search of the context
      process's keyrings is done with the auth key semaphore read-locked.
      
      The check for the revocation state of the auth key just prior to searching
      it is done after the auth key is read-locked for the search.  This ensures
      that the auth key can't be revoked between the check and the search.
      
      The revocation notification method is added so that the context task_struct
      can be released as soon as instantiation happens rather than waiting for
      the auth key to be destroyed, thus avoiding the unnecessary pinning of the
      requesting process.

      [PATCH] selinux: add hooks for key subsystem · d720024e
      Michael LeMay authored
      Introduce SELinux hooks to support the access key retention subsystem
      within the kernel.  Incorporate new flask headers from a modified version
      of the SELinux reference policy, with support for the new security class
      representing retained keys.  Extend the "key_alloc" security hook with a
      task parameter representing the intended ownership context for the key
      being allocated.  Attach security information to root's default keyrings
      within the SELinux initialization routine.
      
      Has passed David's testsuite.

      Al Viro authored
      rd_prompt et.al.  depend on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM, not CONFIG_BLK_INITRD; now
      that those are independent, setup.c blows with INITRD on and BLK_DEV_RAM
      off.

      Jeff Dike authored
      Change a variable from unsigned to signed in order to get sign-extension
      when the thing is negated.  Without this, uptime is horribly confused.
