Well, it's not especially important that target->d_iname get the contents of dentry->d_iname, but it's important that it get initialized with *something*, otherwise we're just exposing some random piece of memory to anyone who reads the link at /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> for the deleted file, when it's still held open by someone. I've run a test program that copies a short (<36 character) name ontop of a long (>=36 character) name and see that the first time I run it, without this patch, I get unpredicatable results out of /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>.

Simplify the vfs_cap_data structure. Also fix get_file_caps which was declaring __le32 v1caps[XATTR_CAPS_SZ] on the stack, but XATTR_CAPS_SZ is already * sizeof(__le32).

Fix a panic due to access NULL pointer of kmem_cache_node at discard_slab() after memory online. When memory online is called, kmem_cache_nodes are created for all SLUBs for new node whose memory are available. slab_mem_going_online_callback() is called to make kmem_cache_node() in callback of memory online event. If it (or other callbacks) fails, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called for rollback. In memory offline, slab_mem_going_offline_callback() is called to shrink all slub cache, then slab_mem_offline_callback() is called later.

Yasunori Goto authored
Current memory notifier has some defects yet. (Fortunately, nothing uses it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them. - Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions. Callbacks can't do anything without those information. - Add notification going-online status. It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's pages are available. - Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation. It is good place for return memory like cache for callback, because returned page is not used again. - Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs. - Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used. - Fix compile error of (un)register_memory_notifier().

This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot. If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things: 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but inapproprate for others. 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we simply do the normal boot sequence.

Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes: load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.

This path mustn't have been tested :( I did attempt to exercise it by injecting failures here, but I suspect PageMappedToDisk may have been getting in the way. Will need more of a look, although I think nobh mode is OK for an -rc1 (it shouldn't eat anyone's data). Commit 03158cd7 ("fs: restore nobh") introcduced a NULL deref.

force irq_flags into the .data section by initializing it to the hardware masks that cannot be disabled. this way if we use irq enable/disable functions before the .bss has been zeroed out (as does our l1 relocate/dma functions), we dont hit a problem where bss contains bogus crap.

New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree". The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations: * if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously) * if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees * if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false positives. Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

get_rtc_time, in the case that PDC returns that the battery is bad, returns an unmodified rtc_time arg to the caller, which then uses uninitialized values. Fix this by memset-ing the arg with zeroes, so it will at least be cleared if we return failure. Spotted by John David Anglin. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>
