* [PATCH] Remove f_error field from struct fileChristoph Lameter2005-06-234-24/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch removes the f_error field and all checks of f_error. Trond said: f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred. Since then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our f_error tracking there too.

* [PATCH] PCDP: handle tables that don't supply baud rateBjorn Helgaas2005-06-232-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The HCDP specs (i.e., PCDP revision < 3) allow zero as a default value for baud rate and data bits. So if firmware doesn't supply them, let early_serial_console_init() probe for them rather than telling it the baud rate is zero. Also, update the URL for the PCDP spec.

* [PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devicesArnd Bergmann2005-06-233-23/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves. As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

* [PATCH] yenta TI: turn off interrupts during card power-on #2Daniel Ritz2005-06-234-23/+223
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - make boot-up card recognition more reliable (ie. redo interrogation always if there is no valid 'card inserted' state) (and yes, i saw it happening on an o2micro controller that both CB_CBARD and CB_16BITCARD bits were set at the same time) - also redo interrogation before probing the ISA interrupts. it's safer to do the probing with the socket in a clean state. - make card insert detect more reliable. yenta_get_status() now returns SS_PENDING as long as the card is not completley inserted and one of the voltage bits is set. also !CB_CBARD doesn't mean CB_16BITCARD. there is CB_NOTACARD as well, so make an explicit check for CB_16BITCARD. - for TI bridges: disable IRQs during power-on. in all-serial and tied interrupt mode the interrupts are always disabled for single-slot controllers. for two-slot contollers the disabling is only done when the other slot is empty. to force disabling there is a new module parameter now: pwr_irqs_off=Y (which is a regression for working setups. that's why it's an option, only use when required) - modparm to disable ISA interrupt probing (isa_probe, defaults to on) - remove unneeded code/cleanups (ie. merge yenta_events() into yenta_interrupts()) Signed-off-by: Daniel Ritz <daniel.ritz@gmx.ch> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Don't force O_LARGEFILE for 32 bit processes on ia64Yoav Zach2005-06-233-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file. This is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution. For such processes, the problem is two-fold: 1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G the operation should fail, but it's not 2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but it's not The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are identified in ia64 systems. Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their personality. With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set. The behavior for all other architectures remains unchanged.

* [PATCH] Support for dx directories in ext3_get_parent (NFSD)Andreas Dilger2005-06-231-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Henrik Grubbstrom noted: The 2.6.10 ext3_get_parent attempts to use ext3_find_entry to look up the entry "..", which fails for dx directories since ".." is not present in the directory hash table. The patch below solves this by looking up the dotdot entry in the dx_root block. Typical symptoms of the above bug are intermittent claims by nfsd that files or directories are missing on exported ext3 filesystems. cf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D150759 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D144556 ext3_get_parent() is IMHO the wrong place to fix this bug as it introduces a lot of internals from htree into that function. Instead, I think this should be fixed in ext3_find_entry() as in the below patch. This has the added advantage that it works for any callers of ext3_find_entry() and not just ext3_lookup_parent().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl: This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are 0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped 1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked. 2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.

Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used as a bool in untouched code) > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In situations where a kprobes handler calls a routine which has a probe on it, then kprobes_handler() disarms the new probe forever. This patch removes the above limitation by temporarily disarming the new probe. When the another probe hits while handling the old probe, the kprobes_handler() saves previous kprobes state and handles the new probe without calling the new kprobes registered handlers. kprobe_post_handler() restores back the previous kprobes state and the normal execution continues. However on x86_64 architecture, re-rentrancy is provided only through pre_handler(). If a routine having probe is referenced through post_handler(), then the probes on that routine are disarmed forever, since the exception stack is gets changed after the processor single steps the instruction of the new probe. This patch includes generic changes to support temporary disarming on reentrancy of probes.

This patch attempts to clean up arch_prepare_kprobes() by moving specific sub task to the following (new)functions 1)valid_kprobe_addr() -->> validate the given kprobe address 2)get_kprobe_inst(slot..)->> Retrives the instruction for a given slot from the bundle 3)prepare_break_inst() -->> Prepares break instruction within the bundle 3a)update_kprobe_inst_flag()-->>Updates the internal flags, required for proper emulation of the instruction at later point in time.

* [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 qp fixRusty Lynch2005-06-231-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug where a kprobe still fires when the instruction is predicated off. So given the p6=0, and we have an instruction like: (p6) move loc1=0 we should not be triggering the kprobe. This is handled by carrying over the qp section of the original instruction into the break instruction.

* [PATCH] Kprobes ia64 cleanupRusty Lynch2005-06-232-101/+84
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A cleanup of the ia64 kprobes implementation such that all of the bundle manipulation logic is concentrated in arch_prepare_kprobe(). With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function. This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe() and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into arch_prepare_kprobe(). By doing this we can add further robustness checks in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.

* [PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: kdebug die notification mechanismAnil S Keshavamurthy2005-06-234-1/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As many of you know that kprobes exist in the main line kernel for various architecture including i386, x86_64, ppc64 and sparc64. Attached patches following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64. I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine. I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various templates including various types of branch instructions. I have also tested this patch using the tool http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the kprobes for IA64 works great. Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon. 1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction 2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address 3) Support Return probes 3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes. For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes for switch case zero.

This simple patch changes the informational string to a more correct "break 0" value, and applies to the 2.6.12-rc2-mm2 tree with all the kprobes patches that were just recently included for the next mm cut.

* [PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific codeRusty Lynch2005-06-236-37/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points by just doing something like: *p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION; The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent functions: * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64). I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe() function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing with the recursive kprobe case. So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still needs to be tested in sparc64.
