2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)Alexey Dobriyan
One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: round up the APIPavel Emelianov
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking at the code for a long time. The proposals are to * equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to represent that fact, * and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making the common prefix of the same name. For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

2007-10-18[MIPS] time: Delete dead cycles_per_jiffy, mips_timer_ack and null_timer_ackRalf Baechle
cycles_per_jiffy was only ever getting assigned and the function pointer not being called anymore and mips_timer_ack had gotten similarly stale. I leave the remaining assignments unfixed as a lighthouse pointing platform maintainers to what needs a rewrite. These changes make null_timer_ack() unreferenced, so delete that too.

2007-10-18[MIPS] Always do the ARC64_TWIDDLE_PC thing.Thomas Bogendoerfer

2007-10-17[MIPS] Probe for usability of cp0 compare interrupt.Ralf Baechle
Some processors offer the option of using the interrupt on which normally the count / compare interrupt would be signaled as a normal interupt pin. Previously this required some ugly hackery for each system which is much easier done by a quick and simple probe. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2007-10-17[MIPS] SYNC emulation for MIPS I processorsMaciej W. Rozycki
Userland, including the C library and the dynamic linker, is keen to use the SYNC instruction, even for "generic" MIPS I binaries these days. Which makes it less than useful on MIPS I processors. This change adds the emulation, but as our do_ri() infrastructure was not really prepared to take yet another instruction, I have rewritten it and its callees slightly as follows. Now there is only a single place a possible signal is thrown from. The place is at the end of do_ri(). The instruction word is fetched in do_ri() and passed down to handlers. The handlers are called in sequence and return a result that lets the caller decide upon further processing. If the result is positive, then the handler has picked the instruction, but a signal should be thrown and the result is the signal number. If the result is zero, then the handler has successfully simulated the instruction. If the result is negative, then the handler did not handle the instruction; to make it more obvious the calls do not follow the usual 0/-Exxx result convention they now return -1 instead of -EFAULT. The calculation of the return EPC is now at the beginning. The reason is it is easier to handle it there as emulation callees may modify a register and an instruction may be located in delay slot of a branch whose result depends on the register. It has to be undone if a signal is to be raised, but it is not a problem as this is the slow-path case, and both actions are done in single places now rather than the former being scattered through emulation handlers. The part of do_cpu() being covered follows the changes to do_ri(). Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> ---

2007-10-17core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipeNeil Horman
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

2007-10-17Use list_head in binfmt handlingAlexey Dobriyan
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF + something distro enabled for you). Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.

2007-10-14kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CCSam Ravnborg
The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.
