Adds an expert Kconfig option, CONFIG_COREDUMP, which allows disabling of core dump. This saves approximately 2.6k in the compiled kernel, and complements CONFIG_ELF_CORE, which now depends on it. CONFIG_COREDUMP also disables coredump-related sysctls, except for suid_dumpable and related functions, which are necessary for ptrace.

The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices. The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally: since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient. This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure. The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed, respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default policy: # cat devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a >devices.deny # cat devices.list # echo a >devices.allow # cat devices.list a *:* rwm The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access to /dev/null: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null # echo a >devices.allow # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny # cat /dev/null cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow # cat /dev/null # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 # Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the next one to make reviewing easier.

deny_all will determine if the default policy is to deny all device access unless for the ones in the exception list. This variable will be used in the next patches to convert device_cgroup internally into a default policy + rules. Signed-off-by:

A section with the name "Example" (case-insensitive) has a special meaning to kernel-doc. These sections are output using mono-type fonts. However, leading whitespace is stripped, thus robbing a lot of meaning from this, as indented code examples will be mangled. This patch preserves the leading whitespace for "Example" sections. More accurately, it preserves it for all sections, but removes it later if the section isn't an "Example" section. Signed-off-by:

If you have a section named "Example" that contains an empty line, attempting to generate htmldocs give you the error: /path/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml:3455: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: programlisting line 3449 and para </para><para> ^ /path/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml:3473: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: para line 3467 and programlisting </programlisting></informalexample> ^ /path/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml:3678: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: programlisting line 3672 and para </para><para> ^ /path/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml:3701: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: para line 3690 and programlisting </programlisting></informalexample> ^ unable to parse /path/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml Essentially, the script attempts to close a <programlisting> with a closing tag for a <para> block. This patch corrects the problem by simply not outputting anything extra when we're dumping pre-formatted text, since the empty line will be rendered correctly anyway. Signed-off-by: -

Prior to this patch the following code breaks: /** * multiline_example - this breaks kernel-doc */ #define multiline_example( \ myparam) Producing this error: Error(somefile.h:983): cannot understand prototype: 'multiline_example( \ ' This patch fixes the issue by appending all lines ending in a blackslash (optionally followed by whitespace), removing the backslash and any whitespace after it prior to appending (just like the C pre-processor would). This fixes a break in kerel-doc introduced by the additions to rbtree.h. Signed-off-by:

Maintain an index of directory inodes by starting cluster, so that fat_get_parent() can return the proper cached inode rather than inventing one that cannot be traced back to the filesystem root. Add a new msdos/vfat binary mount option "nfs" so that FAT filesystems that are _not_ exported via NFS are not saddled with maintenance of an index they will never use. Finally, simplify NFS file handle generation and lookups. An ext2-congruent implementation is adequate for FAT needs. Signed-off-by:

Under memory pressure, the system may evict dentries from cache. When the FAT driver receives a NFS request involving an evicted dentry, it is unable to reconnect it to the filesystem root. This causes the request to fail, often with ENOENT. This is partially due to ineffectiveness of the current FAT NFS implementation, and partially due to an unimplemented fh_to_parent method. The latter can cause file accesses to fail on shares exported with subtree_check. This patch set provides the FAT driver with the ability to reconnect dentries. NFS file handle generation and lookups are simplified and made congruent with ext2. Testing has involved a memory-starved virtual machine running 3.5-rc5 that exports a ~2 GB vfat filesystem containing a kernel tree (~770 MB, ~40000 files, 9 levels). Both 'cp -r' and 'ls -lR' operations were performed from a client, some overlapping, some consecutive. Exports with 'subtree_check' and 'no_subtree_check' have been tested. Note that while this patch set improves FAT's NFS support, it does not eliminate ESTALE errors completely. The following should be considered for NFS clients who are sensitive to ESTALE: * Mounting with lookupcache=none Unfortunately this can degrade performance severely, particularly for deep filesystems. * Incorporating VFS patches to retry ESTALE failures on the client-side, such as https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/29/381 * Handling ESTALE errors in client application code This patch: Move NFS-related code into its own C file. No functional changes. Signed-off-by:

Commit c3b79770 ("rtc: m41t80: Workaround broken alarm functionality") disabled m41t80's alarm functions. But since those functions were not touched, building this driver triggers these GCC warnings: drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:216:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_alarm_irq_enable' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:238:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_set_alarm' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.c:308:12: warning: 'm41t80_rtc_read_alarm' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] Remove these functions (and the commented out references to them) to silence these warnings. Anyone wanting to fix the alarm irq functionality can easily find the removed code in the git log of this file or through some web searches. Signed-off-by:

Without this patch /sys/class/rtc/$CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE/hctosys contains a 1 (meaning "This rtc was used to initialize the system clock") even if setting the time by do_settimeofday() at bootup failed. The RTC can also be used to set the clock on resume, if it did 1, otherwise 0. Previously there was no indication if the RTC was used to set the clock in resume. This uses only CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE for conditional compilation instead of it and CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS to be more consistent. rtc_hctosys_ret was moved to class.c so class.c no longer depends on hctosys.c.

There are several comparisons of a unsigned int to less than zero int spear RTC driver. Such a check will always be true. In all these cases a signed int is assigned to the unsigned variable, which is checked, before. So the right fix is to make the checked variable signed as well. In one case the check can be dropped completely, because all it does it returns 'err' if 'err' is less than zero, otherwise it returns 0. Since in this particular case 'err' is always either 0 or less this is the same as just returning 'err'.

The irq field of the jz4740_irc struct is unsigned. Yet we assign the result of platform_get_irq() to it. platform_get_irq() may return a negative error code and the code checks for this condition by checking if 'irq' is less than zero. But since 'irq' is unsigned this test will always be false. Fix it by making 'irq' signed.
