      In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if the · 4b396ba6
      Roland McGrath authored 
      PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss.  This generates EFAULT.

Here is a small test case.  (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP which
have only .text and no .data/.bss.)

	----- ptinterp.S
	_start: .globl _start
		 nop
		 int3
	-----
	$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
	$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
	$ ./hello
	Segmentation fault  # during execve() itself

	After applying the patch:
	$ ./hello
	Trace trap  # user-mode execution after execve() finishes

If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine. 
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if there
is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e.  bss).  John Reiser suggested
checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic.  I think it makes most sense to
simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.

This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.  It
just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

      A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage, · 3204de64
      Stefani Seibold authored 
      especially for embedded linux.

Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage
which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value.  But you get no
information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads.

There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks
the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack
xxxxxxxx]".  xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack.  This is a value
information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the
top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage.

A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like:

08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312       /opt/z
08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312       /opt/z

ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0          [vdso]


Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status
which will you give the current stack usage in kb.

A sample output of /proc/self/status looks like:

Name:	cat
State:	R (running)
Tgid:	507
Pid:	507
.
.
.
CapBnd:	fffffffffffffeff
voluntary_ctxt_switches:	0
nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches:	0
Stack usage:	12 kB

I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base
address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main
process.  This makes more sense.

      Enable the coretemp driver on an Intel Atom. · 62c54ac4
      Michael Riepe authored 
      I'm not sure if the readings are correct, however - on my 330, the driver
reports values between 27 and 41 °C (with core1 being about 8°C hotter
than core0, given the same load).  Maybe the maximum temperature of 100 °C
is wrong for Atom CPUs.
