Pavel Emelianov a47afb0f9d pid namespaces: round up the API
The set of functions process_session, task_session, process_group and
task_pgrp is confusing, as the names can be mixed with each other when looking
at the code for a long time.

The proposals are to
* equip the functions that return the integer with _nr suffix to
  represent that fact,
* and to make all functions work with task (not process) by making
  the common prefix of the same name.

For monotony the routines signal_session() and set_signal_session() are
replaced with task_session_nr() and set_task_session(), especially since they
are only used with the explicit task->signal dereference.

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.

Alexey Dobriyan e4dc1b14d8 Use list_head in binfmt handling
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's.  This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt().  The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt.  This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).

Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.

Eric W. Biederman a928972864 [PATCH] Don't uselessly export task_struct to userspace in core dumps
task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good
information, that is probably interesting in core dumps.  However there is
no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it
useless.

I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not
used anywhere else.  So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is
missing.

In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak.  I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.

So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially
dangerous, let's just not export it.

(akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> "would be amazed" if anything was
using NT_TASKSTRUCT).

Hugh Dickins 404351e67a [PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_counters
How is anon_rss initialized?  In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but
that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type.  And how is rss
initialized?  By set_mm_counter, all over the place.  Come on, we just need to
initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the
memcpy when forking).

the 'load_irix_binary' and having kernel faults, Irix support is

investigate further.

Static IRIX binaries are now being detected properly and are using the

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
