31170b6ad4 udf: support files larger than 1G
Make UDF work correctly for files larger than 1GB.  As no extent can be
longer than (1<<30)-blocksize bytes, we have to create several extents if a
big hole is being created.  As a side-effect, we now don't discard
preallocated blocks when creating a hole.

Use sector_t and loff_t for file offsets in UDF filesystem.  Otherwise an

1c710c896e utimensat implementation
Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it

a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
   of the BSD lutimes(3) functions

For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.

Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.

Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
not everybody likes (chroot etc).

1a1c9bb433 inode numbering: change libfs sb creation routines to avoid collisions with their root inodes
This patch makes it so that simple_fill_super and get_sb_pseudo assign their
root inodes to be number 1.  It also fixes up a couple of callers of
simple_fill_super that were passing in files arrays that had an index at
number 1, and adds a warning for any caller that sends in such an array.

It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make
such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode
number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.

866b04fccb inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bits
The problems are:

- on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger
  than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on
  a 64 bit kernel.  We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual
  >32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the
  fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits.  We could trivially fix this
  by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but...

- many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are
  given are unique.  They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static
  counter can wrap.  This problem is exacerbated by the fix for .

- after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get
  a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the
  hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter
  wraps.

This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing
the inodes afterward.  Christoph H.  previously mentioned that he thought that
this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their
inodes.

The questions are:

1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems?
2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it?

What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using
IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be
problematic.

I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and
unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system
time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very
similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add).

The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm
open to ways to try and gauge this.

Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is
acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems.

With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet
<dada1@cosmosbay.com>:

hashing patch (pipebench):
sys     1m15.329s
sys     1m16.249s
sys     1m17.169s

unpatched (pipebench):
sys     1m9.836s
sys     1m12.541s
sys     1m14.153s

Which works out to 1.05642174294555027017.  So ~5-6% slowdown.

This patch:

When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a
stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc
(correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error.  We can't do anything about fs's
with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we
ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field.

This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in
these two functions be 32 bits.

b140f25108 Invalid return value of execve() resulting in oopses
When elf loader fails to map executable (due to memory shortage or because
binary is malformed), it can return 0.  Normally, this is invisible because
process is killed with SIGKILL and it never returns to user space.

But if exec() is called from kernel thread (hotplug, whatever)
consequences are more interesting and vary depending on architecture.

i386.   Nothing especially interesting, execve() just returns
        with "success"  :-)

x86_64. Fake zero frame is used on way to caller, RSP/RIP are loaded
        with zeros, ergo... double fault.

ia64.   Similar to i386, but r32...r95 are corrupted. Sometimes it
        oopses due to return to zero PC, sometimes it sees NaT in
        rXX and oopses due to NaT consumption.

c007c06e3c udf: decrement correct link count in udf_rmdir
It appears that a minor thinko occurred in udf_rmdir and the
(already-cleared) link count on the directory that is being removed was
being decremented instead of the link count on its parent directory.  This
gives rise to lots of kernel messages similar to:

UDF-fs warning (device loop1): udf_rmdir: empty directory has nlink != 2 (8)

when removing directory trees.  No other ill effects have been observed but
I guess it could theoretically result in the link count overflowing on a
very long-lived, much modified directory.

Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for
sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly propagated
into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and users were
wondering...).

Propagate flags such as S_APPEND, S_IMMUTABLE, etc.  from i_flags into
ext3-specific i_flags.  Hence, when someone sets these flags via a
different interface than ioctl, they are stored correctly.

b5e618181a Introduce a handy list_first_entry macro
There are many places in the kernel where the construction like

   foo = list_entry(head->next, struct foo_struct, list);

are used.
The code might look more descriptive and neat if using the macro

   list_first_entry(head, type, member) \
             list_entry((head)->next, type, member)

Here is the macro itself and the examples of its usage in the generic code.
 If it will turn out to be useful, I can prepare the set of patches to
inject in into arch-specific code, drivers, networking, etc.

9d0633cfed Remove redundant check from proc_sys_setattr()
notify_change() already calls security_inode_setattr() before
calling iop->setattr.

Alan sayeth

  This is a behaviour change on all of these and limits some behaviour of
  existing established security modules

  When inode_change_ok is called it has side effects.  This includes
  clearing the SGID bit on attribute changes caused by chmod.  If you make
  this change the results of some rulesets may be different before or after
  the change is made.

  I'm not saying the change is wrong but it does change behaviour so that
  needs looking at closely (ditto all other attribute twiddles)

98701d1b0f (re)register_binfmt returns with -EBUSY
When a binary format is unregistered and re-registered, register_binfmt
fails with -EBUSY.  The reason is that unregister_binfmt does not set
fmt->next to NULL, and seeing (fmt->next != NULL), register_binfmt fails
with -EBUSY.

One can find his way around by explicitly setting fmt->next to NULL after
unregistering, but that is kind of unclean (one should better be using only
the interfaces, and not the interal members, isn't it?)

Attached one-liner can fix it.

Failing code is prefetch hidden in list_for_each_entry() in badness().
badness() is reachable from two points. One is proc_oom_score, another
is out_of_memory() => select_bad_process() => badness().

Second path grabs tasklist_lock, while first doesn't.

c23fbb6bcb VFS: delay the dentry name generation on sockets and pipes
1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'.  This method
   called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
   special filesystems.  It is called without locks.

   Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
   pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
   use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);

2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations

3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
   creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
   /proc/pid/fd/...

4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
   creation.  This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
   /proc/pid/fd/...

A benchmark consisting of 1.000.000 calls to pipe()/close()/close() gives a
*nice* speedup on my Pentium(M) 1.6 Ghz :

3.090 s instead of 3.450 s

2793274298 add file position info to proc
Add support for finding out the current file position, open flags and
possibly other info in the future.

These new entries are added:

  /proc/PID/fdinfo/FD
  /proc/PID/task/TID/fdinfo/FD

For each fd the information is provided in the following format:

pos:	1234
flags:	0100002

c5141e6d64 procfs: reorder struct pid_dentry to save space on 64bit archs, and constify them
Change the order of fields of struct pid_entry (file fs/proc/base.c) in order
to avoid a hole on 64bit archs.  (8 bytes saved per object)

Also change all pid_entry arrays to be const qualified, to make clear they
must not be modified.

Before (on x86_64) :

# size fs/proc/base.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  15549    2192       0   17741    454d fs/proc/base.o

After :

# size fs/proc/base.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  17229     176       0   17405    43fd fs/proc/base.o

Thats 336 bytes saved on kernel size on x86_64

5096add84b proc: maps protection
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes.  Issues:

- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
  kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
  check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
  process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file.  (For reference
  see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
  non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.

This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents.  To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

578c8183c1 proc: remove pathetic ->deleted WARN_ON
WARN_ON(de && de->deleted); is sooo unreliable. Why?

proc_lookup				remove_proc_entry
===========				=================
lock_kernel();
spin_lock(&proc_subdir_lock);
[find proc entry]
spin_unlock(&proc_subdir_lock);
					spin_lock(&proc_subdir_lock);
					[find proc entry]

proc_get_inode
==============
WARN_ON(de && de->deleted);			...

					if (!atomic_read(&de->count))
						free_proc_entry(de);
					else
						de->deleted = 1;

So, if you have some strange oops [1], and doesn't see this WARN_ON it means
nothing.

[1] try_module_get() of module which doesn't exist, two lines below
    should suffice, or not?
