| * | security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmapEric Paris2007-07-111-0/+10
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
* | sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo2007-07-112-7/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

* pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* relay: use splice_to_pipe() instead of open-coding the pipe loopJens Axboe2007-07-101-91/+55
| | | | | | | | | | It cleans up the relay splice implementation a lot, and gets rid of a lot of internal pipe knowledge that should not be in there. Plus fixes for padding and partial first page (and lots more) from Tom Zanussi. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe2007-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* sched: do not set softirqs to nice +19Ingo Molnar2007-07-091-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | do not set softirqs to nice +19. _If_ for whatever reason we missed to process some high-prio softirq and woke up ksoftirqd, we should give it a fair chance to actually get some work done, even if the system is under load. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* sched: add rq_clock()/__rq_clock()Ingo Molnar2007-07-091-0/+46

* sched: cfs rq data typesIngo Molnar2007-07-091-6/+78

* sched: cfs core, kernel/sched_idletask.cIngo Molnar2007-07-091-0/+71
| | | | | | | | | add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS), for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too.

* sched: cfs core, kernel/sched_rt.cIngo Molnar2007-07-091-0/+255

* sched: add init_idle_bootup_task()Ingo Molnar2007-07-091-0/+5

* sched: remove sched_exit()Ingo Molnar2007-07-092-32/+0
| | | | | | | | | remove sched_exit(): the elaborate dance of us trying to recover timeslices given to child tasks never really worked. CFS does not need it either. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing codeIngo Molnar2007-07-091-481/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

* sched: rename idle_type/SCHED_IDLEIngo Molnar2007-07-091-30/+30
| | | | | | | | enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
