[PATCH] /proc/meminfo: don't put spaces in names

2006-08-27T18:01:33+00:00

None of the other /proc/meminfo lines have a space in the identifier.  This
post-2.6.17 addition has the potential to break existing parsers, so use an
underscore instead (like Committed_AS).

Don't allow chmod() on the /proc// files

2006-07-15T19:26:45+00:00

This just turns off chmod() on the /proc// files, since there is no
good reason to allow it, and had we disallowed it originally, the nasty
/proc race exploit wouldn't have been possible.

The other patches already fixed the problem chmod() could cause, so this
is really just some final mop-up..

This particular version is based off a patch by Eugene and Marcel which
had much better naming than my original equivalent one.

Mark /proc MS_NOSUID and MS_NOEXEC

2006-07-15T19:20:05+00:00

Not that we really need this any more, but at the same time there's no
reason not to do this.

[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: /proc export of aggregated block I/O delays

2006-07-15T04:53:57+00:00

Export I/O delays seen by a task through /proc//stats for use in top
etc.

Note that delays for I/O done for swapping in pages (swapin I/O) is clubbed
together with all other I/O here (this is not the case in the netlink
interface where the swapin I/O is kept distinct)

Relax /proc fix a bit

2006-07-15T04:48:03+00:00

Clearign all of i_mode was a bit draconian. We only really care about
S_ISUID/ISGID, after all.

Fix nasty /proc vulnerability

2006-07-14T23:51:34+00:00

We have a bad interaction with both the kernel and user space being able
to change some of the /proc file status.  This fixes the most obvious
part of it, but I expect we'll also make it harder for users to modify
even their "own" files in /proc.

[PATCH] /fs/proc/: 'larger than buffer size' memory accessed by clear_user()

2006-07-12T19:52:55+00:00

Address a potential 'larger than buffer size' memory access by
clear_user().  Without this patch, this call to clear_user() can attempt to
clear too many (tsz) bytes resulting in a wrong (-EFAULT) return code by
read_kcore().

Move the roundup() macro from binfmt_elf.c into linux/kernel.h as it's
generally useful.
