2006-02-07[PATCH] unshare system call -v5: system call handler functionJANAK DESAI
sys_unshare system call handler function accepts the same flags as clone system call, checks constraints on each of the flags and invokes corresponding unshare functions to disassociate respective process context if it was being shared with another task. Here is the link to a program for testing unshare system call. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/audit/unshare_test.c?download Please note that because of a problem in rmdir associated with bind mounts and clone with CLONE_NEWNS, the test fails while trying to remove temporary test directory. You can remove that temporary directory by doing rmdir, twice, from the command line. The first will fail with EBUSY, but the second will succeed. I have reported the problem to Ram Pai and Al Viro with a small program which reproduces the problem. Al told us yesterday that he will be looking at the problem soon. I have tried multiple rmdirs from the unshare_test program itself, but for some reason that is not working. Doing two rmdirs from command line does seem to remove the directory.

2006-02-07[PATCH] Fix spinlock debugging delays to not time out too earlyIngo Molnar
The spinlock-debug wait-loop was using loops_per_jiffy to detect too long spinlock waits - but on fast CPUs this led to a way too fast timeout and false messages. The fix is to include a __delay(1) call in the loop, to correctly approximate the intended delay timeout of 1 second. The code assumes that every architecture implements __delay(1) to last around 1/(loops_per_jiffy*HZ) seconds.

2006-02-07[PATCH] mm: compound release fixNick Piggin
Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference at the head page - net result is a memory leak. The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself actually did take compound pages into consideration. Fix the bug and the debug check.

2006-02-07[PATCH] sys_hpux: fix strlen_user() raceKyle McMartin
Userspace can alter the string after the kernel has run strlen_user(). Also: the strlen_user() return value includes the \0, so fix that. Also: handle EFAULT from strlen_user(). It's unlikely anyone is using this code. Very, very unlikely. If I remember correctly, CONFIG_HPUX turns this code on, but one would actually need CONFIG_BINFMT_SOM to load a binary that could cause a problem, and BINFMT_SOM has had an #error in it for quite some time.

2006-02-07[PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlined on alphaSteve Langasek
With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see http://bugs.debian.org/347556). It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that __cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined when building with -Os. The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an __attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg() instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

2006-02-07[PATCH] Hugepages need clear_user_highpage() not clear_highpage()David Gibson
When hugepages are newly allocated to a file in mm/hugetlb.c, we clear them with a call to clear_highpage() on each of the subpages. We should be using clear_user_highpage(): on powerpc, at least, clear_highpage() doesn't correctly mark the page as icache dirty so if the page is executed shortly after it's possible to get strange results.

2006-02-07[PATCH] x86_64: Fix the node cpumask of a cpu going downRavikiran G Thirumalai
Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits in the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled. This is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is checked in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in the slab down path). PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This was the reason Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and could not reproduce on other arches). This patch fixes it for x86_64. I won't attempt ia64 as I cannot test it. Credit for spotting this should go to Alok. (akpm: this was applied, then reverted. But it's OK now because we now use for_each_cpu() in the right places).
