Inotify was switched to use anon_inode instead of its own private filesystem
which only had one inode in commit c44dcc56d2b5c7 "switch inotify_user to
anon_inode"
The problem with this is that now the inotify inode is not a distinct inode
which can be managed by LSMs. userspace tools which use inotify were allowed
to use the inotify inode but may not have had permission to do read/write type
operations on the anon_inode. After looking at the anon_inode and its users
it looks like the best solution is to just mark the anon_inode as S_PRIVATE
so the security system will ignore it.

Alex Viskovatoff let me know that after copying data to solaris's ufs from
linux, solaris's fsck sees some errors in cylinder summary information.
This is because of solaris expects find some data on another places, then
curernt implementation save it. This patch fixes this issue. It is
tested by me, and also Alex reported that it works for him.

Recent releases of Solaris set the fs_clean state of an unmounted UFS file
system as FSLOG ("logging fs"). However, the Linux kernel currently does
not recognize the value which represents this state. Thus, attempting to
mount such a file system rw produces the message
kernel: ufs_read_super: can't grok fs_clean 0xfffffffd
and the file system is mounted read-only. This patch makes the kernel
recognize that value.

When using slub, having a kmem_cache constructor forces slub to add a free
pointer to the size of the cached object, which can have a significant
impact to the number of small objects that can fit into a slab.
As buffer_head is relatively small and we can have large numbers of them,
removing the constructor is a definite win.
On x86_64 removing the constructor gives me 39 objects/slab, 3 more than
without the patch. And on x86_32 73 objects/slab, which is 9 more.
As alloc_buffer_head() already initializes each new object there is very
little difference in actual code run.

Writing of inode holding unallocated space info was broken because we first
cleared the buffer and after that checked whether it contains a tag meaning the
block holds unallocated space information. Fix the problem by checking
appropriate in memory flag instead.
Also cleanup the function a bit along the way - most importantly lock buffer
when modifying its contents, check for buffer_write_io_error instead of
!buffer_uptodate, etc..

The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode. Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.
Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held. Therefore sysfs can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.
The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).

Acknowledge that the logical sysfs rwsem has one instance per
sysfs attribute with different locking depencencies for different
attributes.
There is a sysfs idiom where writing to one sysfs file causes the
addition or removal of other sysfs files. Lumping all of the
sysfs attributes together in one lock class causes lockdep to
generate lots of false positives.
This introduces the requirement that non-static sysfs attributes
need to be initialized with sysfs_attr_init or sysfs_bin_attr_init.
Strictly speaking this requirement only exists when lockdep is
enabled, and when lockdep is enabled we get a bit fat warning
if this requirement is not met.

It turns out that holding an active reference on a directory is
pointless. The purpose of the active references are to allows us to
block when removing sysfs entries that have custom methods so we don't
remove modules while running modular code and to keep those custom
methods from accessing data structures after the files have been
removed. Further sysfs_remove_dir remove all elements in the
directory before removing the directory itself, so there is no chance
we will remove a directory with active children.

When sysfs_readdir stops short we now cache the next
sysfs_dirent to return to user space in filp->private_data.
There is no impact on the rest of sysfs by doing this and
in the common case it allows us to pick up exactly where
we left off with no seeking.
Additionally I drop and regrab the sysfs_mutex around
filldir to avoid a page fault abritrarily increasing the
hold time on the sysfs_mutex.
v2: Returned to using INT_MAX as the EOF condition.
seekdir is ambiguous unless all directory entries have
a unique f_pos value.

This reverts commit a069c266ae5fdfbf5b4aecf2c672413aa33b2504.
It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.
So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
compiled in. It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
isn't worth it.

Modify uid check in do_coredump so as to not apply it in the case of
pipes.
This just got noticed in testing. The end of do_coredump validates the
uid of the inode for the created file against the uid of the crashing
process to ensure that no one can pre-create a core file with different
ownership and grab the information contained in the core when they
shouldn' tbe able to. This causes failures when using pipes for a core
dumps if the crashing process is not root, which is the uid of the pipe
when it is created.
The fix is simple. Since the check for matching uid's isn't relevant for
pipes (a process can't create a pipe that the uermodehelper code will open
anyway), we can just just skip it in the event ispipe is non-zero

User visible change.
do_coredump() kills all threads which share the same ->mm but only the
coredumping process gets the proper exit_code. Other tasks which share
the same ->mm die "silently" and return status == 0 to parent.
This is historical behaviour, not actually a bug. But I think Frank
Heckenbach rightly dislikes the current behaviour. Simple test-case:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
int main(void)
{
int stat;
if (!fork()) {
if (!vfork())
kill(getpid(), SIGQUIT);
}
wait(&stat);
printf("stat=%x\n", stat);
return 0;
}
Before this patch it prints "stat=0" despite the fact the child was killed
by SIGQUIT. After this patch the output is "stat=3" which obviously makes
more sense.
Even with this patch, only the task which originates the coredumping gets
"|= 0x80" if the core was actually dumped, but at least the coredumping
signal is visible to do_wait/etc.

these bits between (1) and (2).
To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to
coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump() and uses it
instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core.
This copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses
dump_filter bits in mm->flags.

The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.
This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.
This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will support
extended numbering and so will produce the corefiles with section header
table in a special case.
The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section
header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header. ELF header is
positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the
end. So, we need to take which of the following ways:
1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header
after writing process for a whole part
2. Make offset calculation process and writing process
totally sequential
The clause 1. is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system
supports seek function. Consider the no_llseek case.
Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.
This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

My next patch will replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions, putting
them into other newly created *.c files. Then, each files will contain
dump_write(), where each pair of binfmt_*.c and elfcore.c should be the
same. So, this patch moves them into a header file with dump_seek().
Also, the patch deletes confusing DUMP_WRITE macros in each files.

The current ELF dumper can produce broken corefiles if program headers
exceed 65535. In particular, the program in 64-bit environment often
demands more than 65535 mmaps. If you google max_map_count, then you can
find many users facing this problem.
Solaris has already dealt with this issue, and other OSes have also
adopted the same method as in Solaris. Currently, Sun's document and AMD
64 ABI include the description for the extension, where they call the
extension Extended Numbering. See Reference for further information.
I believe that linux kernel should adopt the same way as they did, so I've
written this patch.
I am also preparing for patches of GDB and binutils.
How to fix
==========
In new dumping process, there are two cases according to weather or
not the number of program headers is equal to or more than 65535.
- if less than 65535, the produced corefile format is exactly the same
as the ordinary one.
- if equal to or more than 65535, then e_phnum field is set to newly
introduced constant PN_XNUM(0xffff) and the actual number of program
headers is set to sh_info field of the section header at index 0.
Compatibility Concern
=====================
* As already mentioned in Summary, Sun and AMD64 has already adopted
this. See Reference.
* There are four combinations according to whether kernel and userland
tools are respectively modified or not. The next table summarizes
shortly for each combination.
---------------------------------------------
Original Kernel | Modified Kernel
---------------------------------------------
< 65535 | >= 65535 | < 65535 | >= 65535
-------------------------------------------------------------
Original Tools | OK | broken | OK | broken (#)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Modified Tools | OK | broken | OK | OK
-------------------------------------------------------------
Note that there is no case that `OK' changes to `broken'.
(#) Although this case remains broken, O-M behaves better than
O-O. That is, while in O-O case e_phnum field would be extremely
small due to integer overflow, in O-M case it is guaranteed to be at
least 65535 by being set to PN_XNUM(0xFFFF), much closer to the
actual correct value than the O-O case.
Test Program
============
Here is a test program mkmmaps.c that is useful to produce the
corefile with many mmaps. To use this, please take the following
steps:
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ sysctl vm.max_map_count=70000 # default 65530 is too small
$ sysctl fs.file-max=70000
$ mkmmaps 65535
Then, the program will abort and a corefile will be generated.
If failed, there are two cases according to the error message
displayed.
* ``out of memory'' means vm.max_map_count is still smaller
* ``too many open files'' means fs.file-max is still smaller
So, please change it to a larger value, and then retry it.
mkmmaps.c
==
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int maps_num;
if (argc < 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "mkmmaps [number of maps to be created]\n");
exit(1);
}
if (sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &maps_num) == EOF) {
perror("sscanf");
exit(2);
}
if (maps_num < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "%d is invalid\n", maps_num);
exit(3);
}
for (; maps_num > 0; --maps_num) {
if (MAP_FAILED == mmap((void *)NULL, (size_t) 1, PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, (int) -1,
(off_t) NULL)) {
perror("mmap");
exit(4);
}
}
abort();
{
char buffer[128];
sprintf(buffer, "wc -l /proc/%u/maps", getpid());
system(buffer);
}
return 0;
}
Tested on i386, ia64 and um/sys-i386.
Built on sh4 (which covers fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c)

This patch:
There are three different definitions for dump_seek() functions in
binfmt_aout.c, binfmt_elf.c and binfmt_elf_fdpic.c, respectively. The
only for binfmt_elf.c.
My next patch will move dump_seek() into a header file in order to share
the same implementations for dump_write() and dump_seek(). As the first
step, this patch unify these three definitions for dump_seek() by applying
the past commits that have been applied only for binfmt_elf.c.
Specifically, the modification made here is part of the following commits:
* d025c9db7f31fc0554ce7fb2dfc78d35a77f3487
* 7f14daa19ea36b200d237ad3ac5826ae25360461
This patch does not change a shape of corefiles.

remove_proc_entry() does

lookup parent
unlock
lock
unlink proc entry from lists
unlock
which can be made bit more correct by doing parent translation + unlink
without dropping lock.

Currently we create the initial stack based on the PAGE_SIZE. This is
unnecessary.
This creates this initial stack independent of the PAGE_SIZE.
It also bumps up the number of 4k pages allocated from 20 to 32, to
align with 64K page systems.

Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them
twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented.
I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716abf3 ("resource:
add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.
