      prctl: add PR_{SET,GET}_CHILD_SUBREAPER to allow simple process supervision · ebec18a6
      Lennart Poettering authored
      Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started
      services.  Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly
      re-parented to PID 1.  The service manager will no longer be able to
      receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of
      reaping the children with wait().  All information about the children is
      lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes.
      
      With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of
      'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes
      created by the started services.  All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered
      to the service manager.
      
      Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much
      preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific
      PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process
      data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the
      service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened.
      
      As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost
      by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and
      'ps' output:
      
      before:
        # ps afx
        253 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
        294 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd

        917 ?        S      0:00  \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
      
      after:
        # ps afx
        294 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork
        426 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
        449 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/sbin/modem-manager
        635 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/colord
        705 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/upowerd
        959 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
        960 ?        S      0:00  |   \_ udisks-daemon: not polling any devices
        977 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/packagekitd
      
      This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces.  PID namespaces are isolated
      from each other, while a service management process usually requires the
      services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each
      other.
      
      Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides
      init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which
      activates bus services on-demand.  Both need init-like capabilities to
      be able to properly keep track of the services they start.
      
      Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.

      drivers/staging/telephony/ixj.c: fix warning about sequence points · 953326cb
      Uwe Kleine-König authored
      In the statement
      
      	j->caplist[j->caps].handle = j->caps++;
      
      there is no sequence point between the usage of j->caps on the LHS of
      the assignment and the incrementation on its RHS.  So it's not defined
      in Standard C if j->caps is already incremented when used on the LHS
      even though the postfix ++ operator is used.  To properly fix that the
      incrementation has to be done in a separate expression.
      
      This fixes:

      consolidate WARN_...ONCE() static variables · 7ccaba53
      Jan Beulich authored
      Due to the alignment of following variables, these typically consume
      more than just the single byte that 'bool' requires, and as there are a
      few hundred instances, the cache pollution (not so much the waste of
      memory) sums up.  Put these variables into their own section, outside of
      any half way frequently used memory range.
      
      Do the same also to the __warned variable of rcu_lockdep_assert().
      (Don't, however, include the ones used by printk_once() and alike, as
      they can potentially be hot.)

      um: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() · d982d595
      Matt Fleming authored
      As described in commit e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
      retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
      incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
      pending in the shared queue.
      
      Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0
      ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
      which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
      successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
      code across architectures.  In the past some architectures got this code
      wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening
      again.

          iptable_filter and ip6table_filter, from Rusty Russell.
      
       5) If SKB recycling is used via napi_reuse_skb() we end up with
          different amounts of headroom reserved than we had at the original
          SKB allocation.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
       6) Fix races in TG3 driver ring refilling, from Michael Chan.
      
       7) We have callbacks for IPSEC replay notifiers, but some call sites
          were not using the ops method and instead were calling one of the
          implementations directly.  Oops.  Fix from Steffen Klassert.
      
       8) Fix IP address validation properly in the bonding driver, the
          previous fix only works with netlink where the subnet mask and IP
          address are changed in one atomic operation.  When 'ifconfig' ioctls
          are used the IP address and the subnet mask are changed in two
          distinct operations.  Fix from Andy Gospodarek.

       "Scalability improvements for dquots, log grant code cleanups, plus
        bugfixes and cleanups large and small"
      
      Fix up various trivial conflicts that were due to some of the earlier
      patches already having been integrated into v3.3 as bugfixes, and then
      there were development patches on top of those.  Easily merged by just
      taking the newer version from the pulled branch.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull NFS client updates for Linux 3.4 from Trond Myklebust:
       "New features include:
         - Add NFS client support for containers.
      
           This should enable most of the necessary functionality, including
           lockd support, and support for rpc.statd, NFSv4 idmapper and
           RPCSEC_GSS upcalls into the correct network namespace from which
           the mount system call was issued.
      
         - NFSv4 idmapper scalability improvements
      
           Base the idmapper cache on the keyring interface to allow
           concurrent access to idmapper entries.  Start the process of
           migrating users from the single-threaded daemon-based approach to
           the multi-threaded request-key based approach.
      
         - NFSv4.1 implementation id.
      
           Allows the NFSv4.1 client and server to mutually identify each
           other for logging and debugging purposes.
      
         - Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of
           having to use the more counterintuitive 'vers=4,minorversion=1'.
      
         - SUNRPC tracepoints.
      
           Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve
           debugging of the RPC layer.
      
         - pNFS object layout support for autologin.
      
        Important bugfixes include:
      
         - Fix a bug in rpc_wake_up/rpc_wake_up_status that caused them to
           fail to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues.
      
         - Ensure that we handle read delegations correctly, when we try to
           truncate a file.
      
         - A number of fixes for NFSv4 state manager loops (mostly to do with
           delegation recovery)."

      Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
       "Things are really quieting down with the regmap API, while we're still
        seeing a trickle of new features coming in they're getting much
        smaller than they were.  It's also nice to have some features which
        support other subsystems building infrastructure on top of regmap.
        Highlights include:
      
        - Support for padding between the register and the value when
          interacting with the device, sometimes needed for fast interfaces.
        - Support for applying register updates to the device when restoring
          the register state.  This is intended to be used to apply updates
          supplied by manufacturers for tuning the performance of the device
          (many of which are to undocumented registers which aren't otherwise
          covered).
        - Support for multi-register operations on cached registers.
        - Support for syncing only part of the register cache.
        - Stubs and parameter query functions intended to make it easier for
          other subsystems to build infrastructure on top of the regmap API.
      
        plus a few driver updates making use of the new features which it was

      usbnet should centrally handle busy reporting in the rx path
      so subdrivers need not worry. This hurts use cases which do
      rx only or predominantly.

      bonding: remove entries for master_ip and vlan_ip and query devices instead · eaddcd76
      Andy Gospodarek authored
      The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary,
      etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the
      bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values.
      
              commit 917fbdb3
              Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com>
              Date:   Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000
      
                  bonding: only use primary address for ARP
      
      That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from
      sending frames with an invalid source IP address.  Unfortunately, it
      didn't always work as expected.
      
      When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and
      netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask
      if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of
      address.  The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in
      the primary address and would still cause the device address to be
      overwritten.  The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would
      then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done.
      
      This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink
      sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once.  The
      inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that
      needed to be resolved.
      
      While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler
      came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full
      shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan
      devices in the bonding driver.  I didn't like the duplication of the
      list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than
      grow, but liked the general idea.
      
      As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip
      elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively.
      This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to
      determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks
      to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address.  This code
      could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more
      sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly
      what was needed.
      
      I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected.
      Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.
      
      Thanks to Ralf for all his help on this.

      Vosburgh and Dave Miller.

      It used to be an int, and it got changed to a bool parameter at least
      7 years ago.  It happens that NF_ACCEPT and NF_DROP are 0 and 1, so
      this works, but it's unclear, and the check that it's in range is not
      required.

      security: optimize avc_audit() common path · 48aab2f7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      avc_audit() did a lot of jumping around and had a big stack frame, all
      for the uncommon case.
      
      Split up the uncommon case (which we really can't make go fast anyway)
      into its own slow function, and mark the conditional branches
      appropriately for the common likely case.
      
      This causes avc_audit() to no longer show up as one of the hottest
      functions on the branch profiles (the new "perf -b" thing), and makes
      the cycle profiles look really nice and dense too.
      
      The whole audit path is still annoyingly very much one of the biggest
      costs of name lookup, so these things are worth optimizing for.  I wish
      we could just tell people to turn it off, but realistically we do need
      it: we just need to make sure that the overhead of the necessary evil is
      as low as possible.
