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] uml: block SIGWINCH in ptrace tester childJeff Dike

2006-02-07[PATCH] uml: balance list_add and list_del in the network driverJeff Dike
The network driver added an interface to the "opened" list when it was configured, not when it was brought up, and removed it when it was taken down. A sequence of ifconfig up, ifconfig down, ... caused it to be removed multiple times from the list without being added in between, resulting in a crash. This patch moves the add to when the interface is brought up.

2006-02-07[PATCH] uml: close TUN/TAP file descriptorsJeff Dike
When UML opens a TUN/TAP device, the file descriptor could be copied into later, long-lived threads, holding the device open even after the interface is taken down, preventing it from being brought up again. This patch makes these descriptors close-on-exec so that they disappear from helper processes, and adds CLONE_FILES to a UML helper thread so that the descriptors are closed in the thread when they are closed elsewhere in UML.

2006-02-07[PATCH] uml: add debug switch for skas modeJeff Dike
It doesn't do anything but emit a warning, but there's a user population that's used to adding 'debug' to the UML command line in order to gdb it. With skas0 mode, that's not necessary, but these users need some indication that 'debug' doesn't do what they want.

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.
