It is not possible to see the PT_PTRACED task without ->signal/sighand under tasklist_lock, release_task() does ptrace_unlink() first. If the task was already released before, ptrace_attach() can't succeed and set PT_PTRACED. Remove this check. Signed-off-by:

Now that my_ptrace_child() is trivial we can use the "p->ptrace & PT_PTRACED" inline and simplify the corresponding logic in do_wait: we can't find the child in TASK_TRACED state without PT_PTRACED flag set, ptrace_untrace() either sets TASK_STOPPED or wakes up the tracee. Signed-off-by:

Since the patch "Fix ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme()/de_thread() race" commit f5b40e36 we set PT_ATTACHED and change child->parent "atomically" wrt task_list lock. This means we can remove the checks like "PT_ATTACHED && ->parent != ptracer" which were needed to catch the "ptrace attach is in progress" case. We can also remove the flag itself since nobody else uses it. Signed-off-by:

sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by calling a specific routine. This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function, free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific 'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as parameter. Signed-off-by:

Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids' are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to static variables instead) It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct ipc_namespace. This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace. Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

These commands (SEM_STAT and IPC_STAT) are rather doing the same things (only the meaning of the id given as input and the return value differ). However, for the semaphores, they are handled in two different places (two different functions). This patch consolidates this for clarification by handling these both commands in the same place in semctl_nolock(). It also removes one unused parameter for this function. Signed-off-by:

ipc_lock_check_down(), ipc_lock_check() and ipcget() seem too large to be inline. Besides, they give no optimization being inline as they perform calls inside in any case. Moving them into ipc/util.c saves 500 bytes of vmlinux and shortens IPC internal API. $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux-orig vmlinux add/remove: 3/2 grow/shrink: 0/10 up/down: 490/-989 (-499) function old new delta ipcget - 392 +392 ipc_lock_check_down - 49 +49 ipc_lock_check - 49 +49 sys_semget 119 105 -14 sys_shmget 108 86 -22 sys_msgget 100 78 -22 do_msgsnd 665 631 -34 do_msgrcv 680 644 -36 do_shmat 771 733 -38 sys_msgctl 1302 1229 -73 ipcget_new 80 - -80 sys_semtimedop 1534 1452 -82 sys_semctl 2034 1922 -112 sys_shmctl 1919 1765 -154 ipcget_public 322 - -322 The ipcget() growth is the result of gcc inlining of currently static ipcget_new/_public.

Give architectures that support the new termios2 the possibilty to overide the user_termios_to_kernel_termios and kernel_termios_to_user_termios macros. As soon as all architectures that use the generic variant have been converted the ifdefs can go away again. Architectures in question are avr32, frv, powerpc and s390.

Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like: pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops); if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; Fix most networking users for a start. In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.

Long ago when the CLONE_THREAD support first went it someone thought it would be wise to point /proc/self at /proc/<tgid> instead of /proc/<pid>. Given that /proc/<tgid> can return information about a very different task (if enough things have been unshared) then our current process /proc/<tgid> seems blatantly wrong. So far I have yet to think up an example where the current behavior would be advantageous, and I can see several places where it is seriously non-intuitive. We may be stuck with the current broken behavior for backwards compatibility reasons but lets try fixing our ancient bug for the 2.6.25 time frame and see if anyone screams. Signed-off-by:

Currently if you access a /proc that is not mounted with your processes current pid namespace /proc/self will point at a completely random task. This patch fixes /proc/self to point to the current process if it is available in the particular mount of /proc or to return -ENOENT if the current process is not visible. Signed-off-by:

Currently (as pointed out by Oleg) do_task_stat has a race when calling task_pid_nr_ns with the task exiting. In addition do_task_stat is not currently displaying information in the context of the pid namespace that mounted the /proc filesystem. So "cut -d' ' -f 1 /proc/<pid>/stat" may not equal <pid>. This patch fixes the problem by converting to a single_open seq_file show method. Getting the pid namespace from the filesystem superblock instead of current, and simply using the the struct pid from the inode instead of attempting to get that same pid from the task.

Currently many /proc/pid files use a crufty precursor to the current seq_file api, and they don't have direct access to the pid_namespace or the pid of for which they are displaying data. So implement proc_single_file_operations to make the seq_file routines easy to use, and to give access to the full state of the pid of we are displaying data for. Signed-off-by:
