posix-timers: Show clock ID in proc file

2013-05-28T09:41:14+00:00

Expand information about posix-timers in /proc//timers by adding
info about clock, with which the timer was created. I.e. in the forth
line of timer info after "notify:" line go "ClockID: ".

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-05-02T00:51:54+00:00

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

7kloc removed.

fs, proc: truncate /proc/pid/comm writes to first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes

2013-05-01T00:04:07+00:00

Currently, a write to a procfs file will return the number of bytes
successfully written.  If the actual string is longer than this, the
remainder of the string will not be be written and userspace will
complete the operation by issuing additional write()s.

Hence

	$ echo -n "abcdefghijklmnopqrs" > /proc/self/comm

results in

	$ cat /proc/$$/comm
	pqrs

since the final four bytes were written with a second write() since
TASK_COMM_LEN == 16.  This is obviously an undesired result and not
equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_NAME).  The implementation should not need to
know the definition of TASK_COMM_LEN.

This patch truncates the string to the first TASK_COMM_LEN bytes and
returns the bytes written as the length of the string written so the
second write() is suppressed.

	$ cat /proc/$$/comm
	abcdefghijklmno

posix-timers: Show sigevent info in proc file

2013-04-17T18:51:01+00:00

Previous patch added proc file to list posix timers created by task.
Expand the information provided in this file by adding info about
notification method, with which timers were created. I.e. after
the "ID:" line there go

1. "signal:" line, that shows signal number and sigval bits;
2. "notify:" line, that shows the timer notification method.

Thus the timer entry would looke like this:

ID: 123
signal: 14/0000000000b005d0
notify: signal/pid.732

This information is enough to understand how timer_create() was called
for each particular timer.

posix-timers: Introduce /proc/PID/timers file

2013-04-17T18:51:01+00:00

Currently kernel doesn't provide any API for getting info about what
posix timers are configured by processes. It's implied, that a process
which configured some timers, knows what it did. However, for external
tools it's impossible to get this information. In particular, this is
critical for checkpoint-restore project to have this info.

Introduce a per-pid proc file with information about posix
timers. Since these timers are shared between threads, this file is
present on tgid level only, no such thing in tid subdirs.

The file format is expected to be the "/proc//smaps"-like,
i.e. each timer will occupy seveal lines to allow for future
extending.

Each new timer entry starts with the

ID: 

line which is added by this patch.

procfs: switch /proc/self away from proc_dir_entry

2013-04-09T18:13:05+00:00

Just have it pinned in dcache all along and let procfs ->kill_sb()
drop it before kill_anon_super().

fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM

2013-02-26T07:46:14+00:00

According to SUSv3:

[EACCES] Permission denied. An attempt was made to access a file in a way
forbidden by its file access permissions.

[EPERM] Operation not permitted. An attempt was made to perform an operation
limited to processes with appropriate privileges or to the owner of a file
or other resource.

So -EPERM should be returned if capability checks fails.

Strictly speaking this is an API change since the error code user sees is
altered.
