arm64: fix building without CONFIG_UID16

2016-01-29T05:57:15+00:00

commit fbc416ff86183e2203cdf975e2881d7c164b0271 upstream. As reported by Michal Simek, building an ARM64 kernel with CONFIG_UID16 disabled currently fails because the system call table still needs to reference the individual function entry points that are provided by kernel/sys_ni.c in this case, and the declarations are hidden inside of #ifdef CONFIG_UID16: arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:57:8: error: 'sys_lchown16' undeclared here (not in a function) __SYSCALL(__NR_lchown, sys_lchown16) I believe this problem only exists on ARM64, because older architectures tend to not need declarations when their system call table is built in assembly code, while newer architectures tend to not need UID16 support. ARM64 only uses these system calls for compatibility with 32-bit ARM binaries. This changes the CONFIG_UID16 check into CONFIG_HAVE_UID16, which is set unconditionally on ARM64 with CONFIG_COMPAT, so we see the declarations whenever we need them, but otherwise the behavior is unchanged.

mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin

2012-12-12T01:22:27+00:00

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in between the two calls. The usage is short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX); ... compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj); to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same. This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls. The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj. This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading /proc/pid/oom_score.

merge task_work and rcu_head, get rid of separate allocation for keyring case

2012-07-22T19:57:56+00:00

task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

irq: Kill pointless irqd_to_hw export

2012-04-11T04:39:17+00:00

It makes no sense to export this trivial function. Make it a static inline instead. This patch also drops virq_to_hw from arch/c6x since it is unused by that architecture. v2: Move irq_hw_number_t into types.h to fix ARM build failure Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

rcu: Move rcu_head definition to types.h

2011-09-29T04:36:38+00:00

Take a first step towards untangling Linux kernel header files by placing the struct rcu_head definition into include/linux/types.h and including include/linux/types.h in include/linux/rcupdate.h where struct rcu_head used to be defined. The actual inclusion point for include/linux/types.h is with the rest of the #include directives rather than at the point where struct rcu_head used to be defined, as suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers. Once this is in place, then header files that need only rcu_head can include types.h rather than rcupdate.h. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Paul Gortmaker Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers
