assoc_array: Include rcupdate.h for call_rcu() definition

2015-01-07T16:08:41+00:00

Include rcupdate.h header to provide call_rcu() definition. This was implicitly being provided by slab.h file which include srcu.h somewhere in its include hierarchy which in-turn included rcupdate.h. Lately, tinification effort added support to remove srcu entirely because of which we are encountering build errors like lib/assoc_array.c: In function 'assoc_array_apply_edit': lib/assoc_array.c:1426:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'call_rcu' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Fix these by including rcupdate.h explicitly.

lib/decompress.c: consistency of compress formats for kernel image

2014-12-13T20:42:52+00:00

Magic number of compress formats for kernel image is defined by two bytes. These numbers are written in hexadecimal number, nevertheless magic number for only gunzip is written in octal number. The formats should be consistent for readability. Therefore, magic numbers for gunzip are also defined by hexadecimal number.

decompress_bunzip2: off by one in get_next_block()

2014-12-13T20:42:52+00:00

"origPtr" is used as an offset into the bd->dbuf[] array. That array is allocated in start_bunzip() and has "bd->dbufSize" number of elements so the test here should be >= instead of >. Later we check "origPtr" again before using it as an offset so I don't know if this bug can be triggered in real life.

fault-inject: add ratelimit option

Current debug levels are not optimal. Especially if one want to provoke big numbers of faults(broken device simulator) then any verbose level will produce giant numbers of identical logging messages.

syscalls: implement execveat() system call

2014-12-13T20:42:51+00:00

This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528). The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem, at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments. Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be an appropriate generalization. Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474). Related history: - https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment. - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to "prevent other people from wasting their time". - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve() because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since been fixed. This patch (of 4): Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat() is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and resolves the filename relative to that. In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified, execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/" (and so relies on /proc being mounted). The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/" (for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd//", effectively reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be accessible after exec).
