Currently the xen support drivers are displayed in the main Device Drivers menu of the config tools instead of in their own sub-menu, so move them to their own sub-menu, like the rest of the driver world uses. This keeps the main Device Drivers menu from becoming messy. Signed-off-by:

Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of pipes. This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe when it is created. The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero Reverts a pipe-affecting change which was accidentally made in : commit c46f739d : Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> : AuthorDate: Wed Nov 28 13:59:18 2007 +0100 : Commit: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org> : CommitDate: Wed Nov 28 10:58:01 2007 -0800 : : vfs: coredumping fix Signed-off-by:

User visible change. do_coredump() kills all threads which share the same ->mm but only the coredumping process gets the proper exit_code. Other tasks which share the same ->mm die "silently" and return status == 0 to parent. This is historical behaviour, not actually a bug. But I think Frank Heckenbach rightly dislikes the current behaviour. Simple test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { int stat; if (!fork()) { if (!vfork()) kill(getpid(), SIGQUIT); } wait(&stat); printf("stat=%x\n", stat); return 0; } Before this patch it prints "stat=0" despite the fact the child was killed by SIGQUIT. After this patch the output is "stat=3" which obviously makes more sense. Even with this patch, only the task which originates the coredumping gets "|= 0x80" if the core was actually dumped, but at least the coredumping signal is visible to do_wait/etc. Reported-by:Frank Heckenbach <f.heckenbach@fh-soft.de> Signed-off-by:

Pass mm->flags as a coredump parameter for consistency. --- 1787 if (mm->core_state || !get_dumpable(mm)) { <- (1) 1788 up_write(&mm->mmap_sem); 1789 put_cred(cred); 1790 goto fail; 1791 } 1792 [...] 1798 if (get_dumpable(mm) == 2) { /* Setuid core dump mode */ <-(2) 1799 flag = O_EXCL; /* Stop rewrite attacks */ 1800 cred->fsuid = 0; /* Dump root private */ 1801 } --- Since dumpable bits are not protected by lock, there is a chance to change these bits between (1) and (2). To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump() and uses it instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core. This copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses dump_filter bits in mm->flags.

The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate correct coredumps. This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent upto 4294967295 vmas. This is supported by AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/). Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will support extended numbering and so will produce the corefiles with section header table in a special case. The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header. ELF header is positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the end. So, we need to take which of the following ways: 1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header after writing process for a whole part 2. Make offset calculation process and writing process totally sequential The clause 1. is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system supports seek function. Consider the no_llseek case. Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2. Signed-off-by: -

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in order to reduce a range of modification. This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose. Signed-off-by:

My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting them into other newly created *.c files. Then, each files will contain dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the same. So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek(). Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files. Signed-off-by:

The current ELF dumper can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. In particular, the program in 64-bit environment often demands more than 65535 mmaps. If you google max_map_count, then you can find many users facing this problem. Solaris has already dealt with this issue, and other OSes have also adopted the same method as in Solaris. Currently, Sun's document and AMD 64 ABI include the description for the extension, where they call the extension Extended Numbering. See Reference for further information. I believe that linux kernel should adopt the same way as they did, so I've written this patch. I am also preparing for patches of GDB and binutils. How to fix ========== In new dumping process, there are two cases according to weather or not the number of program headers is equal to or more than 65535. - if less than 65535, the produced corefile format is exactly the same as the ordinary one. - if equal to or more than 65535, then e_phnum field is set to newly introduced constant PN_XNUM(0xffff) and the actual number of program headers is set to sh_info field of the section header at index 0. Compatibility Concern ===================== * As already mentioned in Summary, Sun and AMD64 has already adopted this. See Reference. * There are four combinations according to whether kernel and userland tools are respectively modified or not. The next table summarizes shortly for each combination. --------------------------------------------- Original Kernel | Modified Kernel --------------------------------------------- < 65535 | >= 65535 | < 65535 | >= 65535 ------------------------------------------------------------- Original Tools | OK | broken | OK | broken (#) ------------------------------------------------------------- Modified Tools | OK | broken | OK | OK ------------------------------------------------------------- Note that there is no case that `OK' changes to `broken'. (#) Although this case remains broken, O-M behaves better than O-O. That is, while in O-O case e_phnum field would be extremely small due to integer overflow, in O-M case it is guaranteed to be at least 65535 by being set to PN_XNUM(0xFFFF), much closer to the actual correct value than the O-O case. Test Program ============ Here is a test program mkmmaps.c that is useful to produce the corefile with many mmaps. To use this, please take the following steps: $ ulimit -c unlimited $ sysctl vm.max_map_count=70000 # default 65530 is too small $ sysctl fs.file-max=70000 $ mkmmaps 65535 Then, the program will abort and a corefile will be generated. If failed, there are two cases according to the error message displayed. * ``out of memory'' means vm.max_map_count is still smaller * ``too many open files'' means fs.file-max is still smaller So, please change it to a larger value, and then retry it. mkmmaps.c == #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int maps_num; if (argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "mkmmaps [number of maps to be created]\n"); exit(1); } if (sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &maps_num) == EOF) { perror("sscanf"); exit(2); } if (maps_num < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%d is invalid\n", maps_num); exit(3); } for (; maps_num > 0; --maps_num) { if (MAP_FAILED == mmap((void *)NULL, (size_t) 1, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, (int) -1, (off_t) NULL)) { perror("mmap"); exit(4); } } abort(); { char buffer[128]; sprintf(buffer, "wc -l /proc/%u/maps", getpid()); system(buffer); } return 0; } Tested on i386, ia64 and um/sys-i386.

URL: http://www.x86-64.org/ This patch: There are three different definitions for dump_seek() functions in binfmt_aout.c, binfmt_elf.c and binfmt_elf_fdpic.c, respectively. The only for binfmt_elf.c. My next patch will move dump_seek() into a header file in order to share the same implementations for dump_write() and dump_seek(). As the first step, this patch unify these three definitions for dump_seek() by applying the past commits that have been applied only for binfmt_elf.c.

Here is a small code snippet, which will be complained about by checkpatch.pl: #define __STRUCT_KFIFO_COMMON(recsize, ptrtype) \ union { \ struct { \ unsigned int in; \ unsigned int out; \ }; \ char rectype[recsize]; \ ptrtype *ptr; \ const ptrtype *ptr_const; \ }; This construct is legal and safe, so checkpatch.pl should accept this. It should be also true for struct defined in a macro. Add the `struct' and `union' keywords to the exceptions list of the checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple statements should be enclosed in a do - while loop". Otherwise it is not possible to build a struct or union with a macro. Signed-off-by:Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by:

This patch is setting some max_ variables for the IO elevator, so the elevator will put requests for large data blocks to the driver. This is critical for a) speed and b) wear leveling of the flash chip controller: Otherwise the controller will treat the SD card badly with millions of single 4 KByte write commands. This will lead to a shorter life time for the SD cards. Signed-off-by:

If no platform_data was givin to the device it's going to use it's default platform data struct which has all fields initialized to zero. As a result the driver is going to try to request gpio0 both as write protect and card detect pin. Which of course will fail and makes the driver unusable Previously to the introduction of no_wprotect and no_detect the behavior was to assume that if no platform data was given there is no write protect or card detect pin. This patch restores that behavior. Signed-off-by:

This patch series provides the core changes needed to allow SDIO cards to remain powered and active while the host system is suspended, and let them wake up the host system when needed. This is used to implement wake-on-lan with SDIO wireless cards at the moment. Patches to add that support to the libertas driver will be posted separately. This patch: Some SDIO cards have the ability to keep on running autonomously when the host system is suspended, and wake it up when needed. This however requires that the host controller preserve power to the card, and configure itself appropriately for wake-up. There is however 4 layers of abstractions involved: the host controller driver, the MMC core code, the SDIO card management code, and the actual SDIO function driver. To make things simple and manageable, host drivers must advertise their PM capabilities with a feature bitmask, then function drivers can query and set those features from their suspend method. Then each layer in the suspend call chain is expected to act upon those bits accordingly. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix typo in comment] Signed-off-by:
