Ed L. Cashin abdbf94d7c aoe: remove unecessary wrapper function
We can just use skb_mac_header now, and we don't need a wrapper function to
perform the cast.  Instead of requiring the reader to check aoe.h to look
up what an aoe_hdr function does, I'd rather do without it.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 7c9e69faa2 ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation
When a new block bitmap is read from disk in read_block_bitmap() there are
a few bits that should ALWAYS be set.  In particular, the blocks given by
ext4_blk_bitmap, ext4_inode_bitmap and ext4_inode_table.  Validate the
block bitmap against these blocks.

Roland McGrath 82df39738b Add MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS
This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter.
This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to
be a mapping of an ELF file.  Including these pages in the core dump may
give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and
executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in
a generic way just from its contents (e.g.  when those binaries were built
with ld --build-id).  I expect this to become the default behavior
eventually.  Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it
creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come.  Soon many
people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can
arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide.

This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not
need to be using atomic macros.

The child was found on ->children list under tasklist_lock, it must have a
valid ->signal. __exit_signal() both removes the task from parent->children
and clears ->signal "atomically" under write_lock(tasklist).

Oleg Nesterov 2f4e6e2a81 wait_task_zombie: fix 2/3 races vs forget_original_parent()
Two threads, T1 and T2.  T2 ptraces P, and P is not a child of ptracer's
thread group.  P exits and goes to TASK_ZOMBIE.

T1 does wait_task_zombie(P):

	P->exit_state = TASK_DEAD;
	...
	read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);

					T2 does exit(), takes tasklist,
					forget_original_parent() does
					__ptrace_unlink(P) but doesn't
					call do_notify_parent(P) because
					p->exit_state == EXIT_DEAD.

Now, P is not visible to our process: __ptrace_unlink() removed it from
->children. We should send notification to P->parent and release P if and
only if SIGCHLD is ignored.

And we have 3 bugs:

1. P->parent does do_wait() and gets -ECHILD (P is on ->parent->children,
   but its state is TASK_DEAD).

2. // wait_task_zombie() continues

	if (put_user(...)) {
		// TODO: is this safe?
		p->exit_state = EXIT_ZOMBIE;
		return;
	}

   we return without notification/release, task_struct leaked.

   Solution: ignore -EFAULT and proceed. It is an application's bug if
   we can't fill infop/stat_addr (in case of VM_FAULT_OOM we have much
   more problems).

3. // wait_task_zombie() continues

	if (p->real_parent != p->parent) {
		// Not taken, it was untraced'ed
		...
	}

	release_task(p);

   we released the task which we shouldn't.

   Solution: check ->real_parent != ->parent before, under tasklist_lock,
   but use ptrace_unlink() instead of __ptrace_unlink() to check ->ptrace.

This patch hopefully solves 2 and 3, the 1st bug will be fixed later, we need
some cleanups in forget_original_parent/reparent_thread.

However, the first race is very unlikely and not critical, so I hope it makes
sense to fix 1 and 2 for now.

4. Small cleanup: don't "restore" EXIT_ZOMBIE unless we know we are not going
   to realease the child.

Roland McGrath ab799dede9 Add linux/elfcore-compat.h
This adds the linux/elfcore-compat.h header file, which is the CONFIG_COMPAT
analog of the linux/elfcore.h header.  Each arch that needs to fake out
fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the
hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al.
Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define
compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used.

It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit
from.  I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home.  Doing the same
for each other arch should be straightforward, and I'm happy to offer tips.

Satyam Sharma 48ef09a16e ufs: Fix mount check in ufs_fill_super()
The current code skips the check to verify whether the filesystem was
previously cleanly unmounted, if (flags & UFS_ST_MASK) == UFS_ST_44BSD or
UFS_ST_OLD.  This looks like an inadvertent bug that slipped in due to
parantheses in the compound conditional to me, especially given that
ufs_get_fs_state() handles the UFS_ST_44BSD case perfectly well.  So, let's
fix the compound condition appropriately.

Oleg Nesterov 84eb646b6e handle the multi-threaded init's exit() properly
With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported,
but do_exit() is completely wrong.  This becomes a real problem when we
support pid namespaces.

1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not
   until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the
   "if (group_dead)" check.

   Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead
   child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because

   	- do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate
   	  over all sub-thread's ->children lists

   	- do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends
   	  the group-wide signal

   However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state)
   for this.

2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and
   it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just
   remove it.

Andi Kleen 8e9073ed02 Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters
The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could
probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter).  One particular
messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos.  This was
originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an
a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit.  But by
now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up
binfmt_elf.c up a bit.

I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25.

Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so
they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel.

This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk
warning users.

Neil Horman 3232113710 core_pattern: fix up a few miscellaneous bugs
Fix do_coredump to detect a crash in the user mode helper process and abort
the attempt to recursively dump core to another copy of the helper process,
potentially ad-infinitum.

Neil Horman 74aadce986 core_pattern: allow passing of arguments to user mode helper when core_pattern is a pipe
A rewrite of my previous post for this enhancement.  It uses jeremy's
split_argv/free_argv library functions to translate core_pattern into an argv
array to be passed to the user mode helper process.  It also adds a
translation to format_corename such that the origional value of RLIMIT_CORE
can be passed to userspace as an argument.

Neil Horman 7dc0b22e3c core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core.  This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced.  Specifically:

1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
   when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
   consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
   at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
   restrictions.

2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
   user space helper as an argv array.  The real core limit of the uid of the
   crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
   is overridden to zero when called).

3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
   recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
   crash.  Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
   mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
   the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
   deadlock.

This patch:

Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe.  In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Neil Horman 8e2b705649 argv_split: allow argv_split to handle NULL pointer in argcp parameter gracefully
It would be nice if the argv_split library function could gracefully handle
a NULL pointer in the argcp parameter, so as to allow functions using it
that did not care about the value of argc to not have to declare a useless
variable.  This patch accomplishes that.  Tested by me, with successful
results.

Add in support for SunOS 4.1.x flavor of BSD 4.2 UFS filing system Macros have
been put in to alow suport for the old static table Cylinder Groups but this
implementation does not use them yet.

This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic
links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links.

Tested by:
  Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on
  one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system.
  Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of
  files to the UFS partition.
  Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files.
The test host is a sun4c SS1 Clone.

ext[234]_get_group_desc never tests the bh argument, and only sets it if it
is passed in; it is perfectly happy with a NULL bh argument.  But, many
callers send one in and never use it.  May as well call with NULL like
other callers who don't use the bh.

Denis Cheng 74bf17cffc fs: remove the unused mempages parameter
Since the mempages parameter is actually not used, they should be removed.

Now there is only files_init use the mempages parameter,

 	files_init(mempages);

but I don't think the adaptation to mempages in files_init is really
useful; and if files_init also changed to the prototype void (*func)(void),
the wrapper vfs_caches_init would also not need the mempages parameter.

Andy Gospodarek pointed out that because we return in the middle of the
free_irq() function, we never actually do call the IRQ handler that just
got deregistered. This should fix it, although I expect Andrew will want
to convert those 'return's to 'break'. That's a separate change though.

Ravikiran G Thirumalai f13ef7754f report the per-irq statistics on all arches
Commit 4004c69ad6 avoids too many remote cpu
references while reporting per-irq stats.  Since we will not have the same
performance penalty of bringing in remote cpu cachelines while reporting
per-irq stats anymore, we can now afford to be consistent and report this
statistic on all arches, all configs.

akpm: affects ia64, alpha and ppc64, mainly.

Kiran earlier said:

Read to /proc/stat takes:
Plain: 	2.622832
With speedup patch: 0.013194
With the per-irq stats commented out: 0.008124

So the performance problems which originally caused those architectures to
disable this statistic should now be fixed up.

Rusty Russell af49d9248f Remove "unsafe" from module struct
Adrian Bunk points out that "unsafe" was used to mark modules touched by
the deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT interface, which has long gone.  It's time
to remove the member from the module structure, as well.

If you want a module which can't unload, don't register an exit function.

(Vlad Yasevich says SCTP is now safe to unload, so just remove the
__unsafe there).

Miklos Szeredi 93d44cb275 ext2: show all mount options
Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that
unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there.  So we want to get rid of it, and
use /proc/mounts instead.

But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options.  Which
means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
options.

It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems.  But this is not
easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
not tough the rest.  This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
/etc/mtab will be broken in this case.

This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

Fengguang Wu e57aa839ce convert ill defined log2() to ilog2()
It's *wrong* to have
			#define log2(n) ffz(~(n))
It should be *reversed*:
			#define log2(n) flz(~(n))
or
			#define log2(n) fls(n)
or just use
			ilog2(n) defined in linux/log2.h.

This patch follows the last solution, recommended by Andrew Morton.
