Andrew G. Morgan authored
Filesystem capability support makes it possible to do away with (set)uid-0 based privilege and use capabilities instead. That is, with filesystem support for capabilities but without this present patch, it is (conceptually) possible to manage a system with capabilities alone and never need to obtain privilege via (set)uid-0. Of course, conceptually isn't quite the same as currently possible since few user applications, certainly not enough to run a viable system, are currently prepared to leverage capabilities to exercise privilege. Further, many applications exist that may never get upgraded in this way, and the kernel will continue to want to support their setuid-0 base privilege needs. Where pure-capability applications evolve and replace setuid-0 binaries, it is desirable that there be a mechanisms by which they can contain their privilege. In addition to leveraging the per-process bounding and inheritable sets, this should include suppressing the privilege of the uid-0 superuser from the process' tree of children. The feature added by this patch can be leveraged to suppress the privilege associated with (set)uid-0. This suppression requires CAP_SETPCAP to initiate, and only immediately affects the 'current' process (it is inherited through fork()/exec()). This reimplementation differs significantly from the historical support for securebits which was system-wide, unwieldy and which has ultimately withered to a dead relic in the source of the modern kernel. With this patch applied a process, that is capable(CAP_SETPCAP), can now drop all legacy privilege (through uid=0) for itself and all subsequently fork()'d/exec()'d children with: prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 0x2f); This patch represents a no-op unless CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is enabled at configure time.

Don't perform kobjsize operations on objects the kernel doesn't manage. On Blackfin, drivers can get dma coherent memory by calling a function dma_alloc_coherent(). We do this in nommu by configuring a chunk of uncached memory at the top of memory. Since we don't want the kernel to use the uncached memory, we lie to the kernel, and tell it that it's max memory is between 0, and the start of the uncached dma coherent section. this all works well, until this memory gets exposed into userspace (with a frame buffer), when you look at the process's maps, it shows the framebuf: root:/proc> cat maps [snip] 03f0ef00-03f34700 rw-p 00000000 1f:00 192 /dev/fb0 root:/proc> This is outside the "normal" range for the kernel. When the kernel tries to find the size of this object (when you run ps), it dies in nommu.c in kobjsize. BUG_ON(page->index >= MAX_ORDER); since the page we are referring to is outside what the kernel thinks is it's max valid memory. root:~> while [ 1 ]; ps > /dev/null; done kernel BUG at mm/nommu.c:119! Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG! We fixed this by adding a check to reject out of range object pointers as it already does that for NULL pointers. Signed-off-by:

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem. Freeing usemap is not necessary. The pages of usemap may be necessary for other sections. If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user of usemap page. (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state which all pages are isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon. It will be disaster. So, this patch keeps it as it is. Signed-off-by:

Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this. Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing other sections. This dependency is not desirable for memory removing. Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and section B has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency each other. To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat. If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be removed finally. Signed-off-by:

To free memmap easier, this patch aligns it to page size. Bootmem allocater may mix some objects in one pages. It's not good for freeing memmap of memory hot-remove. Signed-off-by:

This patch set is to free pages which is allocated by bootmem for memory-hotremove. Some structures of memory management are allocated by bootmem. ex) memmap, etc. To remove memory physically, some of them must be freed according to circumstance. This patch set makes basis to free those pages, and free memmaps. Basic my idea is using remain members of struct page to remember information of users of bootmem (section number or node id). When the section is removing, kernel can confirm it. By this information, some issues can be solved. 1) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on other section by bootmem, it should/can be free. 2) When the memmap of removing section is allocated on the same section, it shouldn't be freed. Because the section has to be logical memory offlined already and all pages must be isolated against page allocater. If it is freed, page allocator may use it which will be removed physically soon. 3) When removing section has other section's memmap, kernel will be able to show easily which section should be removed before it for user. (Not implemented yet) 4) When the above case 2), the page isolation will be able to check and skip memmap's page when logical memory offline (offline_pages()). Current page isolation code fails in this case because this page is just reserved page and it can't distinguish this pages can be removed or not. But, it will be able to do by this patch. (Not implemented yet.) 5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this will be able to be solved too by this. (Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.) Fortunately, current bootmem allocator just keeps PageReserved flags, and doesn't use any other members of page struct. The users of bootmem doesn't use them too. This patch: This is to register information which is node or section's id. Kernel can distinguish which node/section uses the pages allcated by bootmem. This is basis for hot-remove sections or nodes. Signed-off-by: -

Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the standard pte functions in certain cases, e.g. because of a different location of the invalid bit. This patch adds some new architecture- specific functions to hugetlb common code, as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support. This won't affect other architectures in functionality, but I need to add some new dummy inline functions to the headers. Acked-by:

A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will remain in the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else. This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush() function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow(). ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390 implementation will come with our large page patch later. Other architectures should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed. Acked-by:
