3f2e05e90e [PATCH] BLOCK: Revert patch to hack around undeclared sigset_t in linux/compat.h
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.

9ec52099e4 [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid
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.

1a657f78dc [PATCH] introduce get_task_pid() to fix unsafe get_pid()
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.

b0fa9db6ab [PATCH] proc: drop tasklist lock in task_state()
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.

a593d6edeb [PATCH] proc: convert do_task_stat() to use lock_task_sighand()
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.

61a2878402 [PATCH] proc: Remove the hard coded inode numbers
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.

of lookup that is needed to accomplish that.

801199ce80 [PATCH] proc: Make the generation of the self symlink table driven
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

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.

821278a75d [PATCH] sh64: remove the use of kernel syscalls
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.

fe74290d51 [PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures
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.

6760856791 [PATCH] introduce kernel_execve
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.

Simplify get_undo_list() by dropping the unnecessary cast, removing the
size variable, and switching to kzalloc() instead of a kmalloc() followed
by a memset().

This cleanup was split then modified from Jes Sorenson's Task Notifiers
patches.

5d124e99c2 [PATCH] nsproxy cloning error path fix
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.

ab516013ad [PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxy
This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct.  Later patches will

namespace into the nsproxy.

The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part
by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each
contained in the nsproxy.

bfd241600a [PATCH] knfsd: make rpc threads pools numa aware
Actually implement multiple pools.  On NUMA machines, allocate a svc_pool per
NUMA node; on SMP a svc_pool per CPU; otherwise a single global pool.  Enqueue
sockets on the svc_pool corresponding to the CPU on which the socket bh is run
(i.e.  the NIC interrupt CPU).  Threads have their cpu mask set to limit them
to the CPUs in the svc_pool that owns them.

This is the patch that allows an Altix to scale NFS traffic linearly
beyond 4 CPUs and 4 NICs.

Incorporates changes and feedback from Neil Brown, Trond Myklebust, and
Christoph Hellwig.

a74554429e [PATCH] knfsd: add svc_set_num_threads
Currently knfsd keeps its own list of all nfsd threads in nfssvc.c; add a new
way of managing the list of all threads in a svc_serv.  Add
svc_create_pooled() to allow creation of a svc_serv whose threads are managed
by the sunrpc code.  Add svc_set_num_threads() to manage the number of threads
in a service, either per-pool or globally across the service.

9a24ab5749 [PATCH] knfsd: add svc_get
add svc_get() for those occasions when we need to temporarily bump up
svc_serv->sv_nrthreads as a pseudo refcount.
