2007-10-18powerpc: add scaled time accountingMichael Neuling
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting. POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU frequency. This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit. The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read. An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR was read, which included the system call entry and exit path. Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was re-implemented. I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and 5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).

2007-10-18V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcapAndrew Morgan
The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1, can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities, there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on another. Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the implementation of CAP_SETPCAP. The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no process can set the capabilities of another process. The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution rules: pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec) pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI) pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0 at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI capability set. The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch) is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules are applied. Here is how it works: Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI. Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0. That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to be present in pP. The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond the above: if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) { pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */ } This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities are not useful to or needed by the login program itself. One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap) would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

2007-10-18sysctl: Error on bad sysctl tablesEric W. Biederman
After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced. Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table. The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally adds a new binary sysctl value. As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up now are legitimate. [bunk@kernel.org: kernel/sysctl_check.c must #include <linux/string.h>] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-18sysctl: Factor out sysctl_data.Eric W. Biederman
There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except for returning 0. Which is not always what we want. The few instances I have seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of sysctl_data. While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential for extra bugs. So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a function everyone can use. Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly formed sysctl tables much easier. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-18Hibernation: Check if ACPI is enabled during restore in the right placeRafael J. Wysocki
The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325): * Hibernate with ACPI enabled * Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called (ie. with interrupts disabled).  Enabling ACPI after calling device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient. For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel.  To make it work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c (it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point).

2007-10-18Hibernation: Arbitrary boot kernel support on x86_64Rafael J. Wysocki
Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a kernel different from the one in the image. The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to place each of them in a different page.  The first part belongs to the boot kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory restoration procedure.  Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages. The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored. This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from before the hibernation. The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address.  However, this address may be passed to it in the image header.  Namely, the part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image kernel.  These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure is concerned). It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as compatible. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-10-18serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon
Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

2007-10-18PM: Rework struct hibernation_opsRafael J. Wysocki
During hibernation we also need to tell the ACPI core that we're going to put the system into the S4 sleep state. For this reason, an additional method in 'struct hibernation_ops' is needed, playing the role of set_target() in 'struct platform_suspend_operations'. Moreover, the role of the .prepare() method is now different, so it's better to introduce another method, that in general may be different from .prepare(), that will be used to prepare the platform for creating the hibernation image (.prepare() is used anyway to notify the platform that we're going to enter the low power state after the image has been saved).

2007-10-18sched: reduce schedstat variable overhead a bitKen Chen
schedstat is useful in investigating CPU scheduler behavior. Ideally, I think it is beneficial to have it on all the time. However, the cost of turning it on in production system is quite high, largely due to number of events it collects and also due to its large memory footprint. Most of the fields probably don't need to be full 64-bit on 64-bit arch. Rolling over 4 billion events will most like take a long time and user space tool can be made to accommodate that. I'm proposing kernel to cut back most of variable width on 64-bit system. (note, the following patch doesn't affect 32-bit system).

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[NET]: Fix OOPS due to missing check in dev_parse_header().Patrick McHardy
[ This is kernel bugzilla 9174 "linux-2.6.23-git11 kernel panic" ] The device in question is an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel, which doesn't have any header_ops, so the crash happens in dev_parse_header when dereferencing them.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Rename mode to outer_mode and add inner_modeHerbert Xu
This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode. The existing mode object is renamed to outer_mode. This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms. As it is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use. As a result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa. What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound processing and the outer family for the second part. For inbound processing we'd use the opposite pairing. I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode with inter-family transforms. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Store afinfo pointer in xfrm_modeHerbert Xu
It is convenient to have a pointer from xfrm_state to address-specific functions such as the output function for a family. Currently the address-specific policy code calls out to the xfrm state code to get those pointers when we could get it in an easier way via the state itself. This patch adds an xfrm_state_afinfo to xfrm_mode (since they're address-specific) and changes the policy code to use it. I've also added an owner field to do reference counting on the module providing the afinfo even though it isn't strictly necessary today since IPv6 can't be unloaded yet.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Add missing BEET checksHerbert Xu
Currently BEET mode does not reinject the packet back into the stack like tunnel mode does. Since BEET should behave just like tunnel mode this is incorrect. This patch fixes this by introducing a flags field to xfrm_mode that tells the IPsec code whether it should terminate and reinject the packet back into the stack. It then sets the flag for BEET and tunnel mode. I've also added a number of missing BEET checks elsewhere where we check whether a given mode is a tunnel or not.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Move type and mode map into xfrm_state.cHerbert Xu
The type and mode maps are only used by SAs, not policies. So it makes sense to move them from xfrm_policy.c into xfrm_state.c. This also allows us to mark xfrm_get_type/xfrm_put_type/xfrm_get_mode/xfrm_put_mode as static. The only other change I've made in the move is to get rid of the casts on the request_module call for types. They're unnecessary because C will promote them to ints anyway.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Get nexthdr from caller in xfrm6_rcv_spiHerbert Xu
Currently xfrm6_rcv_spi gets the nexthdr value itself from the packet. This means that we need to fix up the value in case we have a 4-on-6 tunnel. Moving this logic into the caller simplifies things and allows us to merge the code with IPv4. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-17[IPSEC]: Move tunnel parsing for IPv4 out of xfrm4_inputHerbert Xu

2007-10-17[NET]: Fix the race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and sk_clone()Pavel Emelyanov
The proposed fix is to delay the reference counter decrement until the quiescent state pass. This will give sk_clone() a chance to get the reference on the cloned filter. Regular sk_filter_uncharge can happen from the sk_free() only and there's no need in delaying the put - the socket is dead anyway and is to be release itself.

2007-10-17[NET]: Move the filter releasing into a separate callPavel Emelyanov
This is done merely as a preparation for the fix. The sk_filter_uncharge() unaccounts the filter memory and calls the sk_filter_release(), which in turn decrements the refcount anf frees the filter. The latter function will be required separately. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-17[INET]: Remove no longer needed ->equal callbackPavel Emelyanov
Since this callback is used to check for conflicts in hashtable when inserting a newly created frag queue, we can do the same by checking for matching the queue with the argument, used to create one.

2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_find() in fragment managementPavel Emelyanov
Here we need another callback ->match to check whether the entry found in hash matches the key passed. The key used is the same as the creation argument for inet_frag_create. Yet again, this ->match is the same for netfilter and ipv6. Running a frew steps forward - this callback will later replace the ->equal one. Since the inet_frag_find() uses the already consolidated inet_frag_create() remove the xxx_frag_create from protocol codes. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_create()Pavel Emelyanov
This one uses the xxx_frag_intern() and xxx_frag_alloc() routines, which are already consolidated, so remove them from protocol code (as promised). The ->constructor callback is used to init the rest of the frag queue and it is the same for netfilter and ipv6. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_alloc()Pavel Emelyanov
Just perform the kzalloc() allocation and setup common fields in the inet_frag_queue(). Then return the result to the caller to initialize the rest. The inet_frag_alloc() may return NULL, so check the return value before doing the container_of(). This looks ugly, but the xxx_frag_alloc() will be removed soon. The xxx_expire() timer callbacks are patches, because the argument is now the inet_frag_queue, not the protocol specific queue.

2007-10-17[INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_internPavel Emelyanov
This routine checks for the existence of a given entry in the hash table and inserts the new one if needed. The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s together, but this one is temporary and will be removed later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same routine to compare frags. The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer, so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific one (with the container_of) without any checks.
