Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the kernel. This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke cvs control strings] Signed-off-by:

net2280 can't have a function called show_registers() because this can produce a namespace clash with an arch function of the same name. All this driver's functions and variables should really be prefixed with "net2280_" to avoid such a problem in future. Signed-off-by:

Remove now unnecessary inclusions of {asm,linux}/a.out.h. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha build] Signed-off-by: -
David Howells authored
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set. Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either. To make this work, this patch also does the following: (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT core dumping code. (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than the core kernel. (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not needed) and FRV. This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT format is available.

Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their master Kconfig files: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT def_bool y This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for sparc. I've guessed at which arches don't, based on comments in the code, however I'm sure that some of the ones I've marked as 'yes' actually should be 'no'. Signed-off-by:

This is the first step (of two) in removing the kill_pgrp_info. All the users of this function are in kernel/signal.c, but all they need is to call __kill_pgrp_info() with the tasklist_lock read-locked. Fortunately, one of its users is the kill_something_info(), which already needs this lock in one of its branches, so clean these branches up and call the __kill_pgrp_info() directly. Based on Oleg's view of how this function should look. Signed-off-by:

When sending the pid namespaces patches I wrongly converted the tsk->tgid into task_pid_vnr(tsk) in mqueue-s (the git id of this patch is b488893a). The proper behavior is to get the task_tgid_vnr(tsk). This seem to be the only mistake of that kind. Signed-off-by:

Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were _all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo) one. Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where appropriate. Signed-off-by:

signal_struct->tsk points to the ->group_leader and thus we have the nasty code in de_thread() which has to change it and restart ->real_timer if the leader is changed. Use "struct pid *leader_pid" instead. This also allows us to kill now unneeded send_group_sig_info(). Signed-off-by:

There is a window when de_thread() switches the leader and drops tasklist_lock. In that window do_each_pid_task(PIDTYPE_PID) finds both new and old leaders. The problem is pretty much theoretical and probably can be ignored. Currently the only users of do_each_pid_task(PIDTYPE_PID) are send_sigio/send_sigurg, so they can send the signal to the same process twice. Signed-off-by:

kill_pid_info()->pid_task() could be the old leader of the execing process. In that case it is possible that the leader will be released before we take siglock. This means that kill_pid_info() (and thus sys_kill()) can return a false -ESRCH. Change the code to retry when lock_task_sighand() fails. The endless loop is not possible, __exit_signal() both clears ->sighand and does detach_pid(). Signed-off-by:

pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current. pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid was allocated in our pid namespace. Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in get_signal_to_deliver. So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and much less error prone. Signed-off-by:

This modifies do_wait and eligible child to take a pair of enum pid_type and struct pid *pid to precisely specify what set of processes are eligible to be waited for, instead of the raw pid_t value from sys_wait4. This fixes a bug in sys_waitid where you could not wait for children in just process group 1. This fixes a pid namespace crossing case in eligible_child. Allowing us to wait for a processes in our current process group even if our current process group == 0. This allows the no child with this pid case to be optimized. This allows us to optimize the pid membership test in eligible child to be optimized. This even closes a theoretical pid wraparound race where in a threaded parent if two threads are waiting for the same child and one thread picks up the child and the pid numbers wrap around and generate another child with that same pid before the other thread is scheduled (teribly insanely unlikely) we could end up waiting on the second child with the same pid# and not discover that the specific child we were waiting for has exited.

The previous bugfix was not optimal, we shouldn't care about group stop when we are the only thread or the group stop is in progress. In that case nothing special is needed, just set PF_EXITING and return. Also, take the related "TIF_SIGPENDING re-targeting" code from exit_notify(). So, from the performance POV the only difference is that we don't trust !signal_pending() until we take ->siglock. But this in fact fixes another ___pure___ theoretical minor race. __group_complete_signal() finds the task without PF_EXITING and chooses it as the target for signal_wake_up(). But nothing prevents this task from exiting in between without noticing the pending signal and thus unpredictably delaying the actual delivery. Signed-off-by:

do_signal_stop() counts all sub-thread and sets ->group_stop_count accordingly. Every thread should decrement ->group_stop_count and stop, the last one should notify the parent. However a sub-thread can exit before it notices the signal_pending(), or it may be somewhere in do_exit() already. In that case the group stop never finishes properly. Note: this is a minimal fix, we can add some optimizations later. Say we can return quickly if thread_group_empty(). Also, we can move some signal related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals().

As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid == 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18. Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates the rules for sys_setsid(). This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so update the comment only. Signed-off-by:

Daemonized kernel threads run in the init's session. This doesn't match the behaviour of kthread_create()'ed threads, and this is one of the 2 reasons why we need a special hack in sys_setsid(). Now that set_special_pids() was changed to use struct pid, not pid_t, we can use init_struct_pid and set 0,0 special pids. Signed-off-by:

sys_setsid() still deals with pid_t's from the global namespace. This means that the "session > 1" check can't help for sub-namespace init, setsid() can't succeed because copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) populates PIDTYPE_PGID/SID links. Remove the usage of task_struct->pid and convert the code to use "struct pid". This also simplifies and speedups the code, saves one find_pid(). Signed-off-by:

sys_setpgid() does unneeded conversions from pid_t to "struct pid" and vice versa. Use "struct pid" more consistently. Saves one find_vpid() and eliminates the explicit usage of ->nsproxy->pid_ns. Imho, cleanups the code. Also use the same_thread_group() helper. Signed-off-by:

The first "p->exit_state != EXIT_ZOMBIE" check doesn't make too much sense. The exit_state was EXIT_ZOMBIE when the function was called, and another thread can change it to EXIT_DEAD right after the check. The second condition is not possible, detached non-traced threads were already filtered out by eligible_child(), we didn't drop tasklist since then. Signed-off-by:

Surprise, the other two wait_task_*() functions also abuse the task_pid_nr_ns() function, and may cause read-after-free or report nr == 0 in wait_task_continued(). wait_task_zombie() doesn't have this problem, but it is still better to cache pid_t rather than call task_pid_nr_ns() three times on the saved pid_namespace.

Imho, the current usage of security_task_wait() is not logical. Suppose we have the single child p, and security_task_wait(p) return -EANY. In that case waitpid(-1) returns this error. Why? Isn't it better to return ECHLD? We don't really have reapable children. Now suppose that child was stolen by gdb. In that case we find this child on ->ptrace_children and set flag = 1, but we don't check that the child was denied. So, do_wait(..., WNOHANG) returns 0, this doesn't match the behaviour above. Without WNOHANG do_wait() blocks only to return the error later, when the child will be untraced. Inho, really strange. I think eligible_child() should return the error only if the child's pid was requested explicitly, otherwise we should silently ignore the tasks which were nacked by security_task_wait().

eligible_child() == 2 means delay_group_leader(). With the previous patch this only matters for EXIT_ZOMBIE task, we can move that special check to the only place it is really needed. Also, with this patch we don't skip security_task_wait() for the group leaders in a non-empty thread group. I don't really understand the exact semantics of security_task_wait(), but imho this change is a bugfix. Also rearrange the code a bit to kill an ugly "check_continued" backdoor. Signed-off-by:

wait_task_stopped() doesn't need the "delay_group_leader" parameter. If the child is not traced it must be a group leader. With or without subthreads ->group_stop_count == 0 when the whole task is stopped. Signed-off-by:

If the tracer is gone and we are not going to stop, ptrace_stop() sets ->exit_code = nostop_code. However, the tracer could actually clear the exit code before detaching. In that case get_signal_to_deliver() "resends" the signal which was cancelled by the debugger. For example, it is possible that a quick PTRACE_ATTACH + PTRACE_DETACH can leave the tracee in STOPPED state. Change the behaviour of ptrace_stop(). If the caller is ptrace notify(), we should always clear ->exit_code. If the caller is get_signal_to_deliver(), we should not touch it at all. To do so, change the nonstop_code parameter to "bool clear_code" and change the callers accordingly. Signed-off-by:

wait_task_stopped() has multiple races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL. tasklist_lock does not pin the child in TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED stated, almost all info reported (including exit_code) may be wrong. In fact, the code under write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) is not safe. The child may be PTRACE_DETACH'ed at this time by another subthread, in that case it is possible we are no longer its ->parent. Change wait_task_stopped() to take ->siglock before inspecting the task. This guarantees that the child can't resume and (for example) clear its ->exit_code, so we don't need to use xchg(&p->exit_code) and re-check. The only exception is ptrace_stop() which changes ->state and ->exit_code without ->siglock held during abort. But this can only happen if both the tracer and the tracee are dying (coredump is in progress), we don't care. With this patch wait_task_stopped() doesn't move the child to the end of the ->parent list on success. This optimization could be restored, but in that case we have to take write_lock(tasklist) and do some nasty checks. Also change the do_wait() since we don't return EAGAIN any longer.
