We are not counting the lines in the block correctly which causes the comment scan to stop prematurly and thus miss comments which end at the end of the block. Fix this up. Signed-off-by:

Joerg Roedel authored
This series of patches re-introduces the iommu_num_pages function so that it can be used by each architecture specific IOMMU implementations. The series also changes IOMMU implementations for X86, Alpha, PowerPC and UltraSparc. The other implementations are not yet changed because the modifications required are not obvious and I can't test them on real hardware.

Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same results. Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files in a sparate patch.

struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so cp_compat_stat should be, too. Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway. This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with a common one based on the x86-64 one. Signed-off-by:

Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into ->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time, the conditions tested inside the loop are always true. This patch drops the test done inside the re-insertion loop. Signed-off-by:

With MAX_ARG_STRINGS set to 0x7FFFFFFF, and being passed to 'count()' and compat_count(), it would appear that the current max bounds check of fs/exec.c:394: if(++i > max) return -E2BIG; would never trigger. Since 'i' is of type int, so values would wrap and the function would continue looping. Simple fix seems to be chaning ++i to i++ and checking for '>='. Signed-off-by:

On sethostname() and setdomainname(), previous information may be retained if it was longer than than the new hostname/domainname. This can be demonstrated trivially by calling sethostname() first with a long name, then with a short name, and then calling uname() to retrieve the full buffer that contains the hostname (and possibly parts of the old hostname), one just has to look past the terminating zero. I don't know if we should really care that much (hence the RFC); the only scenarios I can possibly think of is administrator putting something sensitive in the hostname (or domain name) by accident, and changing it back will not undo the mistake entirely, though it's not like we can recover gracefully from "rm -rf /" either... The other scenario is namespaces (CLONE_NEWUTS) where some information may be unintentionally "inherited" from the previous namespace (a program wants to hide the original name and does clone + sethostname, but some information is still left). I think the patch may be defended on grounds of the principle of least surprise. But I am not adamant :-) (I guess the question now is whether userspace should be able to write embedded NULs into the buffer or not...) At least the observation has been made and the patch has been presented. Signed-off-by:

Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too much system time and I wonder what is responsible. I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by default. Dang! The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and runtime-alloc it? To use: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile Then run readprofile like normal. This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures. Signed-off-by:

When a process wants to set the limit of open files to RLIM_INFINITY it gets EPERM even if it has CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability. For example, BIND does: ... #elif defined(NR_OPEN) && defined(__linux__) /* * Some Linux kernels don't accept RLIM_INFINIT; the maximum * possible value is the NR_OPEN defined in linux/fs.h. */ if (resource == isc_resource_openfiles && rlim_value == RLIM_INFINITY) { rl.rlim_cur = rl.rlim_max = NR_OPEN; unixresult = setrlimit(unixresource, &rl); if (unixresult == 0) return (ISC_R_SUCCESS); } #elif ... If we allow setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY we increase portability - you don't have to check if OS is linux and then use different schema for limits. The spec says "Specifying RLIM_INFINITY as any resource limit value on a successful call to setrlimit() shall inhibit enforcement of that resource limit." and we're presently not doing that.
