headers: utsname.h redux

2009-09-24T01:13:10+00:00

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h --
   not needed after kref conversion
 * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it

NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
headers and files alone.

utsname.h: make new_utsname fields use the proper length constant

2009-06-17T02:47:47+00:00

The members of the new_utsname structure are defined with magic numbers
that *should* correspond to the constant __NEW_UTS_LEN+1.  Everywhere
else, code assumes this and uses the constant, so this patch makes the
structure match.

namespaces: move the UTS namespace under UTS_NS option

2008-02-08T17:22:23+00:00

Currently all the namespace management code is in the kernel/utsname.c file,
so just compile it out and make stubs in the appropriate header.

The init namespace itself is in init/version.c and is in the kernel all the
time.

namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned long

2007-07-16T16:05:48+00:00

While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we
were putting clone flags in an int.  Which is weird because the syscall
uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of
the unshare flags.

So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
where we get it wrong today.

remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS

2007-07-16T16:05:47+00:00

CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS have very little value as they only
deactivate the unshare of the uts and ipc namespaces and do not improve
performance.

Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handling

2007-05-08T18:15:00+00:00

sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
namespaces.  But they have different code paths.

This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
handling (as much as possible).  Posted on container list earlier for
feedback.

- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
  caller to attach it to right process.

- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
  instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
  just incase.

- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
  copy_*_ns() instead.

[PATCH] utsns: fix !CONFIG_UTS_NS behavior

2007-03-27T16:05:15+00:00

When CONFIG_UTS_NS=n, clone(CLONE_NEWUTS) quietly refuses.  So correctly does
not unshare a new uts namespace, but also does not return -EINVAL.

Fix this to return -EINVAL so the caller knows his request was denied.
