Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement patches build on IA64. This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should be fixed in a different manner. Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat(). This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and ppc64 and run-tested on frv. Signed-off-by:

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

proc_pid_make_inode: ei->pid = get_pid(task_pid(task)); I think this is not safe. get_pid() can be preempted after checking "pid != NULL". Then the task exits, does detach_pid(), and RCU frees the pid. Signed-off-by:

task_state() needs tasklist_lock to protect ->parent/->real_parent. However task->parent points to nowhere only when the actions below happen in order 1) release_task(task) 2) release_task(task->parent) 3) a grace period passed But 3) implies that the memory ops from 1) should be finished, so pid_alive() can't be true in such a case. Otherwise, we don't care if ->parent/->real_parent changes under us. Signed-off-by:

Drop tasklist_lock. ->siglock protects almost all interesting data (including sub-threads traversal) except: ->signal->tty protected by tty_mutex ->real_parent the task can't be unhashed while we are holding ->siglock, so ->real_parent can change from under us but we can safely dereference it under rcu_read_lock() ->pgrp/->session we can get inconsistent numbers if the task does sys_setsid/daemonize at the same time. I hope this is acceptable. Signed-off-by:

The implementation is exactly the same and there is currently nothing to distinguish proc_tid_attr, and proc_tgid_attr. So it is pointless to have two separate implementations. Signed-off-by:

The hard coded inode numbers in proc currently limit its maintainability, its flexibility, and what can be done with the rest of system. /proc limits pid-max to 32768 on 32 bit systems it limits fd-max to 32768 on all systems, and placing the pid in the inode number really gets in the way of implementing subdirectories of per process information. Ever since people started adding to the middle of the file type enumeration we haven't been maintaing the historical inode numbers, all we have really succeeded in doing is keeping the pid in the proc inode number. The pid is already available in the directory name so no information is lost removing it from the inode number. So if something in user space cares if we remove the inode number from the /proc inode it is almost certainly broken. Signed-off-by:

To remove the hard coded proc inode numbers it is necessary to be able to create the proc inodes during readdir. The instantiate methods are the subset of lookup that is needed to accomplish that. This first step just splits the lookup methods into 2 functions. Signed-off-by:

This patch generalizes the concept of files in /proc that are related to processes but live in the root directory of /proc Ideally this would reuse infrastructure from the rest of the process specific parts of proc but unfortunately security_task_to_inode must not be called on files that are not strictly per process. security_task_to_inode really needs to be reexamined as the security label can change in important places that we are not currently catching, but I'm not certain that simplifies this problem. By at least matching the structure of the rest of proc we get more idiom reuse and it becomes easier to spot problems in the way things are put together. Later things like /proc/mounts are likely to be moved into proc_base as well. If union mounts are ever supported we may be able to make /proc a union mount, and properly split it into 2 filesystems.

Move execve() into arch/avr32/kernel/sys_avr32.c, rename it to kernel_execve() and return the syscall return value directly without setting errno. This also gets rid of the __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ stuff from unistd.h and expands #ifdef __KERNEL__ to cover everything in unistd.h except the __NR_foo definitions. Signed-off-by:

sh64 is using system call macros to call some functions from the kernel. The old debug code can simply be removed, since we don't really have that much of a need for it anymore, it was mostly something that was handy during the initial bringup. This also brings us closer to something that looks like readable code again.. I also added a sane kernel_thread() implementation that gets away from this, so that should take care of sh64 at least.

This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using _syscall3() to implement execve. The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386. Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do it for now.

Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but instead returns the result code directly. Rename these to kernel_execve to get the right semantics there. Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so remove these right away.

The use of execve() in the kernel is dubious, since it relies on the __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ mechanism that stores the result in a global errno variable. As a first step of getting rid of this, change all users to a global kernel_execve function that returns a proper error code. This function is a terrible hack, and a later patch removes it again after the kernel syscalls are gone. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes copy_namespaces()'s error path. when new nsproxy (new_ns) is created pointers to namespaces (ipc, uts) are copied from the old nsproxy. Later in copy_utsname, copy_ipcs, etc. according namespaces are get-ed. On error path needed namespaces are put-ed, so there's no need to put new nsproxy itelf as it woud cause putting namespaces for the second time. Found when incorporating namespaces into OpenVZ kernel. Signed-off-by:

This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects (sem, shm, msg) inside namespace. Basically, it is another building block of containers functionality.

exit_task_namespaces() has replaced the former exit_namespace(). It invalidates task->nsproxy and associated namespaces.

This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy. The mount namespace count now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of tasks. As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no longer checks whether it is being shared. Signed-off-by:
