Amy Griffis f368c07d72 [PATCH] audit: path-based rules
In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
directories of paths specified in audit rules.  When audit's inotify
event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
filesystem event.  If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
inotify watch.

To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory.  Given
a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:

    passwd modified -- audit event logged
    passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
    bar renamed     -- rule removed
    foo renamed     -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
		       the new location

Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance.  This
patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
situation.

The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary
and uses the inotify kernel API:

Andy Whitcroft be6e028b64 [PATCH] root mount failure: emit filesystems attempted
When we fail to mount from a valid root device list out the filesystems we
have tried to mount it with.  This gives the user vital diagnostics as to
what is missing from their kernel.

For example in the fragment below the kernel does not have CRAMFS compiled
into the kernel and yet appears to recognise it at the RAMDISK detect
stage.  Later the mount fails as we don't have the filesystem.

  RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0

  XFS: bad magic number
  XFS: SB validate failed
  No filesystem could mount root, tried: reiserfs ext3 ext2 msdos vfat

Copy the filenames of hardlinks when inserting them into the hash, since
the "name" pointer may point to scratch space (name_buf).  Not doing so
results in corruption if the scratch space is later overwritten: the wrong

will fail and a 0-byte file will be created instead.

Andrew Morton 9a98e2f732 [PATCH] remove fixup_cpu_present_map()
Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a
no-op.  That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if
it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit.

So remove fixup_cpu_present_map().

A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the
architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in
smp_prepare_cpus()).  fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more.

If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU.

The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no
longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps -
boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

Zdenek Pavlas 340e48e662 [PATCH] BLK_DEV_INITRD: do not require BLK_DEV_RAM=y
Initramfs initrd images do not need a ramdisk device, so remove this
restriction in Kconfig.  BLK_DEV_RAM=n saves about 13k on i386.  Also
without ramdisk device there's no need for "dry run", so initramfs unpacks
much faster.

People using cramfs, squashfs, or gzipped ext2/minix initrd images are
probably smart enough not to turn off ramdisk support by accident.

Andrew Morton c1cda48af8 [PATCH] initcall failure reporting
We presently ignore the return values from initcalls.  But that can carry
useful debugging information.  So print it out if it's non-zero.

It turns out the -ENODEV happens quite a lot, due to built-in drivers which
have no hardware to drive.  So suppress that unless initcall_debug was
specified.

Also make the warning message more friendly by printing the name of the
initcall function.

Also drop the KERN_DEBUG from the initcall_debug message.  If we specified
inticall_debug then we obviously want to see the messages.

Theodore Ts'o 9b04c997b1 [PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT
The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really means,
"don't be verbose".  This is confusing and counter-intuitive.

In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define options
which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined, which
unfortunately we do not:

#ifdef MS_SILENT
  { "quiet",    0, 0, MS_SILENT    },   /* be quiet  */
  { "loud",     0, 1, MS_SILENT    },   /* print out messages. */
#endif

So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it
with MS_SILENT.

Eric Dumazet b73b459f72 [PATCH] __GENERIC_PER_CPU changes
Now CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is in, initial percpu data
[__per_cpu_start,__per_cpu_end] can be declared as a redzone, and invalid
accesses after boot can be detected, at least for i386.

We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of
NULL .

NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be
readable and invalid accesses may happen unnoticed.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to
the initial percpu data (__per_cpu_offset[cpu] == 0), thus invalid accesses
wont be detected/crash.

This patch also moves __per_cpu_offset[] to read_mostly area to avoid false
sharing.

Rafael J. Wysocki 6e1819d615 [PATCH] swsusp: userland interface
This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.

The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
 Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.

The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.

The interface documentation is included in the patch.

The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie.  misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.

Haren Myneni 9c15e852a5 [PATCH] kexec: fix in free initrd when overlapped with crashkernel region
It is possible that the reserved crashkernel region can be overlapped with
initrd since the bootloader sets the initrd location.  When the initrd
region is freed, the second kernel memory will not be contiguous.  The
Kexec_load can cause an oops since there is no contiguous memory to write
the second kernel or this memory could be used in the first kernel itself
and may not be part of the dump.  For example, on powerpc, the initrd is
located at 36MB and the crashkernel starts at 32MB.  The kexec_load caused
panic since writing into non-allocated memory (after 36MB).  We could see
the similar issue even on other archs.

One possibility is to move the initrd outside of crashkernel region.  But,
the initrd region will be freed anyway before the system is up.  This patch
fixes this issue and frees only regions that are not part of crashkernel
memory in case overlaps.

Additionally, it changes the fragile negative dependencies of UID16 to
positive dependencies (new architectures are more likely to not require
UID16 support).

Matt Mackall 64ca9004b8 [PATCH] Make vm86 support optional
This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  Saves
about 5k.

This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
instead uses function stubs in vm86.h.  Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
can live together.

There's one scsi driver which doesn't compile due to weird __VA_ARGS__ tricks
and the rather useful scsi/sd.c is currently getting an ICE.  None of the new
SAS code compiles, due to extensive use of anonymous unions.  The V4L guys are
very good at exploiting the gcc-2.95.x macro expansion bug (_why_ does each
driver need to implement its own debug macros?) and various people keep on
sneaking in anonymous unions, which are rather nice.

Plus anonymous unions are rather useful.

Paul Jackson c417f0242e [PATCH] cpuset: remove test for null cpuset from alloc code path
Remove a couple of more lines of code from the cpuset hooks in the page
allocation code path.

There was a check for a NULL cpuset pointer in the routine
cpuset_update_task_memory_state() that was only needed during system boot,
after the memory subsystem was initialized, before the cpuset subsystem was
initialized, to catch a NULL task->cpuset pointer.

Add a cpuset_init_early() routine, just before the mem_init() call in
init/main.c, that sets up just enough of the init tasks cpuset structure to
render cpuset_update_task_memory_state() calls harmless.

Matt Mackall 10cef60295 [PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator
configurable replacement for slab allocator

This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  When CONFIG_SLAB is
disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator.

SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer,
similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced.  It's
signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient.  But like all
similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more
than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems.

It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree.  I've also
stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not
recommended).

Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving
nearly half a megabyte of RAM:

NeilBrown 2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  The numbers
are use to:
 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
    are recorded
 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
    personality.

Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely).  Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.

The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality.  This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.

With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.

This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
 This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

David Howells b0e15190ea [PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMU
The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.

The following changes are made:

 (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
     allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
     code.

 (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
     the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
     attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.

 (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.
