We not only added fanotify system calls in the meantime, but asm-generic/unistd.h added a wait4 along with a range of reserved per-architecture system calls.
| * rlimits: implement prlimit64 syscallJiri Slaby2010-07-161-0/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the code to support the sys_prlimit64 syscall which modifies-and-returns the rlim values of a selected process atomically. The first parameter, pid, being 0 means current process. Unlike the current implementation, it is a generic interface, architecture indepentent so that we needn't handle compat stuff anymore. In the future, after glibc start to use this we can deprecate sys_setrlimit and sys_getrlimit in favor to clean up the code finally. It also adds a possibility of changing limits of other processes. We check the user's permissions to do that and if it succeeds, the new limits are propagated online. This is good for large scale applications such as SAP or databases where administrators need to change limits time by time (e.g. on crashes increase core size). And it is unacceptable to restart the service. For safety, all rlim users now either use accessors or doesn't need them due to - locking - the fact a process was just forked and nobody else knows about it yet (and nobody can't thus read/write limits) hence it is safe to modify limits now. The limitation is that we currently stay at ulong internal representation. So the rlim64_is_infinity check is used where value is compared against ULONG_MAX on 32-bit which is the maximum value there. And since internally the limits are held in struct rlimit, converters which are used before and after do_prlimit call in sys_prlimit64 are introduced. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
| * rlimits: switch more rlimit syscalls to do_prlimitJiri Slaby2010-07-162-23/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After we added more generic do_prlimit, switch sys_getrlimit to that. Also switch compat handling, so we can get rid of ugly __user casts and avoid setting process' address limit to kernel data and back. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
| * rlimits: redo do_setrlimit to more generic do_prlimitJiri Slaby2010-07-161-34/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It now allows also reading of limits. I.e. all read and writes will later use this function. It takes two parameters, new and old limits which can be both NULL. If new is non-NULL, the value in it is set to rlimits. If old is non-NULL, current rlimits are stored there. If both are non-NULL, old are stored prior to setting the new ones, atomically. (Similar to sigaction.) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
| * rlimits: do security check under task_lockJiri Slaby2010-07-161-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do security_task_setrlimit under task_lock. Other tasks may change limits under our hands while we are checking limits inside the function. From now on, they can't. Note that all the security work is done under a spinlock here now. Security hooks count with that, they are called from interrupt context (like security_task_kill) and with spinlocks already held (e.g. capable->security_capable).

| * rlimits: allow setrlimit to non-current tasksJiri Slaby2010-07-161-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add locking to allow setrlimit accept task parameter other than current. Namely, lock tasklist_lock for read and check whether the task structure has sighand non-null. Do all the signal processing under that lock still held. There are some points: 1) security_task_setrlimit is now called with that lock held. This is not new, many security_* functions are called with this lock held already so it doesn't harm (all this security_* stuff does almost the same). 2) task->sighand->siglock (in update_rlimit_cpu) is nested in tasklist_lock. This dependence is already existing. 3) tsk->alloc_lock is nested in tasklist_lock. This is OK too, already existing dependence.

| * rlimits: split sys_setrlimitJiri Slaby2010-07-161-16/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create do_setrlimit from sys_setrlimit and declare do_setrlimit in the resource header. This is the first phase to have generic do_prlimit which allows to be called from read, write and compat rlimits code. The new do_setrlimit also accepts a task pointer to change the limits of. Currently, it cannot be other than current, but this will change with locking later. Also pass tsk->group_leader to security_task_setrlimit to check whether current is allowed to change rlimits of the process and not its arbitrary thread because it makes more sense given that rlimit are per process and not per-thread.

| * rlimits: make sure ->rlim_max never grows in sys_setrlimitOleg Nesterov2010-07-161-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mostly preparation for Jiri's changes, but probably makes sense anyway. sys_setrlimit() checks new_rlim.rlim_max <= old_rlim->rlim_max, but when it takes task_lock() old_rlim->rlim_max can be already lowered. Move this check under task_lock(). Currently this is not important, we can only race with our sub-thread, this means the application is stupid. But when we change the code to allow the update of !current task's limits, it becomes important to make sure ->rlim_max can be lowered "reliably" even if we race with the application doing sys_setrlimit().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event should be sent or not.

* | | | sys_personality: remove the bogus checks in ↵Oleg Nesterov2010-08-091-17/+5

Unify both cases to simplify the code. - The -EINVAL check in sys_personality() was never right. If we assume that set_personality() can fail we should check the value it returns instead of verifying that task->personality was actually changed. Remove it. Before the previous patch it was possible to hit this case due to overflow problems, but this -EINVAL just indicated the kernel bug. OTOH, probably it makes sense to change lookup_exec_domain() to return ERR_PTR() instead of default_exec_domain if the search in exec_domains list fails, and report this error to the user-space. But this means another user-space change, and we have in-kernel users which need fixes. For example, PER_OSF4 falls into PER_MASK for unkown reason and nobody cares to register this domain.

* | | | hibernation: freeze swap at hibernationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-08-093-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC. Hence swap misusage during hibernation never occurs. But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page allcation has __GFP_WAIT. It is better to have a global indication "we enter hibernation, don't use swap!". This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation. (All user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern). This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between hibernate_snapshot() and save_image(). Swap is thawed when swsusp_free() is called. We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: "Rafael J.
