Change endpoint device name format to use a component tag value instead of device destination ID. RapidIO specification defines a component tag to be a unique identifier for devices in a network. RapidIO switches already use component tag as part of their device name and also use it for device identification when processing error management event notifications. Forming an endpoint's device name using its component tag instead of destination ID allows to keep sysfs device directories unchanged in case if a routing process dynamically changes endpoint's destination ID as a result of route optimization. This change should not affect any existing users because a valid device destination ID always should be obtained by reading "destid" attribute and not by parsing device name. This patch also removes switchid member from struct rio_switch because it simply duplicates the component tag and does not have other use than in device name generation. Signed-off-by:

Add RapidIO-specific modalias generation to enable udev notifications about RapidIO-specific events. The RapidIO modalias string format is shown below: "rapidio:vNNNNdNNNNavNNNNadNNNN" Where: v - Device Vendor ID (16 bit), d - Device ID (16 bit), av - Assembly Vendor ID (16 bit), ad - Assembly ID (16 bit), as they are reported in corresponding Capability Registers (CARs) of each RapidIO device.

Add a configuration option to build RapidIO subsystem core code as a loadable kernel module. Currently this option is available only for x86-based platforms, with the additional patch for PowerPC planned to be provided later. This patch replaces kernel command line parameter "riohdid=" with its module-specific analog "rapidio.hdid=". Signed-off-by:

Update enumeration/discovery method registration mechanism to allow loading enumeration/discovery methods before all mports are registered. Existing statically linked RapidIO subsystem expects that all available RapidIO mport devices are initialized and registered before the enumeration/discovery method is registered. Switching to loadable mport device drivers creates situation when mport device driver can be loaded after enumeration/discovery method is attached (e.g., loadable mport driver in a system with statically linked RapidIO core and enumerator). This also will happen in a system with hot-pluggable RapidIO controllers. To remove the dependency on the initialization/registration order this patch introduces enumeration/discovery registration mechanism that supports arbitrary registration order of mports and enumerator/discovery methods. The following registration rules are implemented: - only one enumeration/discovery method can be registered for given mport ID (including RIO_MPORT_ANY); - when new enumeration/discovery methods tries to attach to the registered mport device, method with matching mport ID will replace a default method previously registered for given mport (if any); - enumeration/discovery method with target ID=RIO_MPORT_ANY will be attached only to mports that do not have another enumerator attached to them; - when new mport device is registered with RapidIO subsystem, registration routine searches for the enumeration/discovery method with the best matching mport ID; Signed-off-by:

Rework probe/remove routines to prevent rionet driver from monopolizing target RapidIO devices. Fix conflict with modular RapidIO switch drivers. Using one of RapidIO messaging channels rionet driver provides a service layer common to all endpoint devices in a system's RapidIO network. These devices may also require their own specific device driver which will be blocked from attaching to the target device by rionet (or block rionet if loaded earlier). To avoid conflict with device-specific drivers, the rionet driver is reworked to be registered as a subsystem interface on the RapidIO bus. The reworked rio_remove_dev() and rionet_exit() routines also include handling of individual rionet peer device removal which was not supported before. Signed-off-by:

Rework RapidIO switch drivers to add an option to build them as loadable kernel modules. This patch removes RapidIO-specific vmlinux section and converts switch drivers to be compatible with LDM driver registration method. To simplify registration of device-specific callback routines this patch introduces rio_switch_ops data structure. The sw_sysfs() callback is removed from the list of device-specific operations because under the new structure its functions can be handled by switch driver's probe() and remove() routines. If a specific switch device driver is not loaded the RapidIO subsystem core will use default standard-based operations to configure a switch. Because the current implementation of RapidIO enumeration/discovery method relies on availability of device-specific operations for error management, switch device drivers must be loaded before the RapidIO enumeration/discovery starts. This patch also moves several common routines from enumeration/discovery module into the RapidIO core code to make switch-specific operations accessible to all components of RapidIO subsystem.

Remove the driver for Tsi500 Parallel RapidIO switch because this device has not been available for several years. Since the first introduction of Tsi500, the parallel RapidIO interface was replaced by the serial RapidIO (sRIO) and therefore there is no value in keeping this driver. Signed-off-by:

/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this interface. And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64 where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386. So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of code. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: mention /dev/oldmem obsolescence in devices.txt] Suggested-by:

copy_process() does a lot of "chaotic" initializations and checks CLONE_THREAD twice before it takes tasklist. In particular it sets "p->group_leader = p" and then changes it again under tasklist if !thread_group_leader(p). This looks a bit confusing, lets create a single "if (CLONE_THREAD)" block which initializes ->exit_signal, ->group_leader, and ->tgid. Signed-off-by:

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID). This means that the lockless next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid. Say, "ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice. We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully initialized. And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch copy_process() initializes child->pids[*].pid first, then calls attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid->tasks list. attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always called after pid_link->pid was already set.

Cleanup and preparation for the next changes. Move the "if (clone_flags & CLONE_THREAD)" code down under "if (likely(p->pid))" and turn it into into the "else" branch. This makes the process/thread initialization more symmetrical and removes one check. Signed-off-by:

When a task is attempting to violate the RLIMIT_NPROC limit we have a check to see if the task is sufficiently priviledged. The check first looks at CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, then if the task is uid=0. A result is that tasks which are allowed by the uid=0 check are first checked against the security subsystem. This results in the security subsystem auditting a denial for sys_admin and sys_resource and then the task passing the uid=0 check. This patch rearranges the code to first check uid=0, since if we pass that we shouldn't hit the security system at all. We then check sys_resource, since it is the smallest capability which will solve the problem. Lastly we check the fallback everything cap_sysadmin. We don't want to give this capability many places since it is so powerful. This will eliminate many of the false positive/needless denial messages we get when a root task tries to violate the nproc limit. (note that kthreads count against root, so on a sufficiently large machine we can actually get past the default limits before any userspace tasks are launched.) Signed-off-by:

Imho, "atomic_t call_count" is ugly and should die. It buys nothing and in fact it can grow more than necessary, expand doesn't check if it was already incremented by another task. Kill it, and introduce "static int core_name_size" updated by expand_corename(). This is obviously racy too but harmless, and core_name_size never grows for no reason. We do not bother to to calculate the "right" new size, we simply do kmalloc(size_we_need) and use ksize() to rely on kmalloc_index's decision. Finally change format_corename() to use expand_corename(), krealloc(NULL) is fine. Signed-off-by:

The usage of cn_escape() looks really annoying, imho this sequence needs a wrapper. And it is buggy. If cn_printf() does expand_corename() cn_escape() writes to the freed memory. Introduce cn_esc_printf() which hopefully does this all right. It records the index before cn_vprintf(), not "char *" which is no longer valid (in general) after krealloc(). Signed-off-by:

cn_vprintf() looks really overcomplicated and sub-optimal. We do not need vsnprintf(NULL) to calculate the size we need, we can simply try to print into the current buffer and expand/retry only if necessary. Signed-off-by:

do_coredump() assumes that format_corename() can only fail if expand_corename() fails and frees cn->corename. This is not true, for example cn_print_exe_file() can fail and in this case nobody frees cn->corename. Change do_coredump() to always do kfree(cn->corename) after it calls format_corename() (NULL is fine), change expand_corename() to do nothing if kmalloc() fails. Signed-off-by:

call_usermodehelper_exec() does nothing but returns success if path[0] == 0. The only user which needs this strange feature is request_module(), it can check modprobe_path[0] itself like other users do if they want to detect the "disabled by admin" case. Kill it. Not only it looks strange, it can confuse other callers. And this allows us to revert 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check subprocess_info->path != NULL"), do_execve(NULL) is safe. Signed-off-by:

crtools uses a parasite code for dumping processes. The parasite code is injected into a process with help PTRACE_SEIZE. Currently crtools blocks signals from a parasite code. If a process has pending signals, crtools wait while a process handles these signals. This method is not suitable for stopped tasks. A stopped task can have a few pending signals, when we will try to execute a parasite code, we will need to drop SIGSTOP, but all other signals must remain pending, because a state of processes must not be changed during checkpointing. This patch adds two ptrace commands to set/get signal-blocked mask. I think gdb can use this commands too. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: be consistent with brace layout] Signed-off-by:
