Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

for earlyprintk=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
the handover will happen from earlyser0 to tty0. but what we want is to
hand over to ttyS0.
Later with serial-convert-early_uart-to-earlycon-for-8250.patch,
console=tty0 console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
will handover to ttyS0 instead of tty0.

fix show_task()/show_tasks() output:
- there's no sibling info anymore
- the fields were not aligned properly with the description
- get rid of the lazy-TLB output: it's been quite some time since
we last had a bug there, and when we had a bug it wasnt helped a
bit by this debug output.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/selinux-2.6
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/selinux-2.6:
security: unexport mmap_min_addr
SELinux: use SECINITSID_NETMSG instead of SECINITSID_UNLABELED for NetLabel
security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmap
SELinux: Use %lu for inode->i_no when printing avc
SELinux: allow preemption between transition permission checks
selinux: introduce schedule points in policydb_destroy()
selinux: add selinuxfs structure for object class discovery
selinux: change sel_make_dir() to specify inode counter.
selinux: rename sel_remove_bools() for more general usage.
selinux: add support for querying object classes and permissions from the running policy
|
|
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.
This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)

sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer
in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the
name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh
Dickins a bit.
A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really
there, and that the contents are good.
