2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-02-05timerfd: introduce a new hrtimer_forward_now() functionDavide Libenzi
I think that advancing the timer against the timer's current "now" can be a pretty common usage, so, w/out exposing hrtimer's internals, we add a new hrtimer_forward_now() function.

2008-02-05exec: rework the group exit and fix the race with killOleg Nesterov
As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

2008-02-05remove handle_group_stop() in favor of do_signal_stop()Oleg Nesterov
Every time we set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT or clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED we also reset ->group_stop_count. This means that the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT check in handle_group_stop() is not needed, and do_signal_stop() should check SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED only when ->group_stop_count == 0. With these changes handle_group_stop() becomes the subset of do_signal_stop(), we can kill it and use do_signal_stop() instead. Also, a preparation for the next patch.

2008-02-05__group_complete_signal(): fix coredump with group stop raceOleg Nesterov
When __group_complete_signal() sees sig_kernel_coredump() signal, it starts the group stop, but sets ->group_exit_task = t in a hope that "t" will actually dequeue this signal and invoke do_coredump(). However, by the time "t" enters get_signal_to_deliver() it is possible that the signal was blocked/ignored or we have another pending !SIG_KERNEL_COREDUMP_MASK signal which will be dequeued first. This means the task could be stopped but not killed. Remove this code from __group_complete_signal(). Note also this patch removes the bogus signal_wake_up(t, 1). This thread can't be STOPPED/TRACED, note the corresponding check in wants_signal().

2008-02-05clone: prepare to recycle CLONE_STOPPEDAndrew Morton
Ulrich says that we never used this clone flags and that nothing should be using it. As we're down to only a single bit left in clone's flags argument, let's add a warning to check that no userspace is actually using it. Hopefully we will be able to recycle it. Roland said: CLONE_STOPPED was previously used by some NTPL versions when under thread_db (i.e. only when being actively debugged by gdb), but not for a long time now, and it never worked reliably when it was used. Removing it seems fine to me.

2008-02-04Add parameter to add_partial to avoid having two functionsChristoph Lameter
Add a parameter to add_partial instead of having separate functions. The parameter allows a more detailed control of where the slab pages is placed in the partial queues. If we put slabs back to the front then they are likely immediately used for allocations. If they are put at the end then we can maximize the time that the partial slabs spent without being subject to allocations. When deactivating slab we can put the slabs that had remote objects freed (we can see that because objects were put on the freelist that requires locks) to them at the end of the list so that the cachelines of remote processors can cool down. Slabs that had objects from the local cpu freed to them (objects exist in the lockless freelist) are put in the front of the list to be reused ASAP in order to exploit the cache hot state of the local cpu. Patch seems to slightly improve tbench speed (1-2%).

It renames REALVIEW_* macros to REALVIEW_EB_* or REALVIEW_EB11MP_* to distinguish between standard EB and EB + the ARM11MPCore tile.

2008-02-04vm audit: add VM_DONTEXPAND to mmap for drivers that need itNick Piggin
Drivers that register a ->fault handler, but do not range-check the offset argument, must set VM_DONTEXPAND in the vm_flags in order to prevent an expanding mremap from overflowing the resource. I've audited the tree and attempted to fix these problems (usually by adding VM_DONTEXPAND where it is not obvious).
