ns: Wire up the setns system call

2011-05-28T17:48:39+00:00

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano 
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman 
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

futex: Sanitize futex ops argument types

2011-03-11T11:23:31+00:00

Change futex_atomic_op_inuser and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
prototypes to use u32 types for the futex as this is the data type the
futex core code uses all over the place.

futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API

2011-03-11T11:23:08+00:00

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
    
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

microblaze: Fix /dev/zero corruption from __clear_user()

2011-03-09T07:09:59+00:00

A userland read of more than PAGE_SIZE bytes from /dev/zero results in
(a) not all of the bytes returned being zero, and
(b) memory corruption due to zeroing of bytes beyond the user buffer.

This is caused by improper constraints on the assembly __clear_user function.
The constrints don't indicate to the compiler that the pointer argument is
modified. Since the function is inline, this results in double-incrementing
of the pointer when __clear_user() is invoked through a multi-page read() of
/dev/zero.
