* pnp: avoid a small unlikely memory leak in proc_read_escd()Jesper Juhl2007-10-171-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | There's a small and unlikely memory leak in drivers/pnp/pnpbios/proc.c::proc_read_escd(). It's inside a sanity check, so it probably won't trigger often (if at all), however it *is* a potential leak and it's easy to avoid, so let's just fix it :) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* Add linux/elfcore-compat.hRoland McGrath2007-10-171-0/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the linux/elfcore-compat.h header file, which is the CONFIG_COMPAT analog of the linux/elfcore.h header. Each arch that needs to fake out fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al. Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used. It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit from. I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home. Doing the same for each other arch should be straightforward, and I'm happy to offer tips.

* ufs: Fix mount check in ufs_fill_super()Satyam Sharma2007-10-171-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current code skips the check to verify whether the filesystem was previously cleanly unmounted, if (flags & UFS_ST_MASK) == UFS_ST_44BSD or UFS_ST_OLD. This looks like an inadvertent bug that slipped in due to parantheses in the compound conditional to me, especially given that ufs_get_fs_state() handles the UFS_ST_44BSD case perfectly well. So, let's fix the compound condition appropriately.

* handle the multi-threaded init's exit() properlyOleg Nesterov2007-10-171-20/+11Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With or without this patch, multi-threaded init's are not fully supported, but do_exit() is completely wrong. This becomes a real problem when we support pid namespaces. 1. do_exit() panics when the main thread of /sbin/init exits. It should not until the whole thread group exits. Move the code below, under the "if (group_dead)" check. Note: this means that forget_original_parent() can use an already dead child_reaper()'s task_struct. This is OK for /sbin/init because - do_wait() from alive sub-thread still can reap a zombie, we iterate over all sub-thread's ->children lists - do_notify_parent() will wakeup some alive sub-thread because it sends the group-wide signal However, we should remove choose_new_parent()->BUG_ON(reaper->exit_state) for this. 2. We are playing games with ->nsproxy->pid_ns. This code is bogus today, and it has to be changed anyway when we really support pid namespaces, just remove it.

* Deprecate a.out ELF interpretersAndi Kleen2007-10-172-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up binfmt_elf.c up a bit. I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25. Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel. This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk warning users.

* core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipeNeil Horman2007-10-1710-39/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

* ext2: show all mount optionsMiklos Szeredi2007-10-172-2/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and use /proc/mounts instead. But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the options. It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so /etc/mtab will be broken in this case. This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

* convert ill defined log2() to ilog2()Fengguang Wu2007-10-174-18/+9Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's *wrong* to have #define log2(n) ffz(~(n)) It should be *reversed*: #define log2(n) flz(~(n)) or #define log2(n) fls(n) or just use ilog2(n) defined in linux/log2.h. This patch follows the last solution, recommended by Andrew Morton.

It's a simple device sitting on localbus, with interrupts and detect/voltage control over GPIO. The driver is implemented as an of_platform driver, and adds localbus as a bus being probed by the of_platform framework.

But, linux/highmem.h is actually used to make it compile everywhere. I'll deal later with this particular i386 surprise. Cross-compile tested on many archs and configs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup. Lessens both the source and compiled code (100 bytes) and imho makes the code much more understandable. With this patch "struct poll_list *head" always points to on-stack stack_pps, so we can remove all "is it on-stack" and "was it initialized" checks. Also, move poll_initwait/poll_freewait and -EINTR detection closer to the do_poll()'s callsite.
