432870dab8 exit_notify: kill the wrong capable(CAP_KILL) check
The CAP_KILL check in exit_notify() looks just wrong, kill it.

Whatever logic we have to reset ->exit_signal, the malicious user
can bypass it if it execs the setuid application before exiting.

cd5f9a4c31 kernel/sysctl.c: avoid annoying warnings
Some of the limit constants are used only depending on some complex
configuration dependencies, yet it's not worth making the simple
variables depend on those configuration details.  Just mark them as
perhaps not being unused, and avoid the warning.

6d208da89a audit: Fix possible return value truncation in audit_get_context()
The audit subsystem treats syscall return codes as type long, unfortunately
the audit_get_context() function mistakenly converts the return code to an
int type in the parameters which could cause problems on systems where the
sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

55ad2f8d34 audit: ignore terminating NUL in AUDIT_USER_TTY messages
AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent
NUL-terminated.  Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only
from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using
audit_log_n_untrustedstring().

This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL
and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

b3897f5671 Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL characters
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters.  If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.

Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character.  If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

ca96a895a6 audit: EXECVE record - removed bogus newline
(updated)
Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same.

EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

record before this patch:
"type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n"

record after this patch:

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads

     The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool as long as it is
     in use.  This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads

     The maximum number of threads that should in the pool.  This may be
     anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.

 (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage

     The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
     very slow work items.  This may be between 1 and 99.  The resultant number
     is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
     This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
     slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.

07fe7cb7c7 Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items
Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such
as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may
sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable
for workqueues.

The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are
started when there's more work to do, up to a limit.  Because of the nature of
the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool.  A system with
one CPU may well want several threads.

This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such
as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

42af9054c0 kmemtrace: restore original tracing data binary format, improve ABI
When kmemtrace was ported to ftrace, the marker strings were taken as
an indication of how the traced data was being exposed to the userspace.
However, the actual format had been binary, not text.

This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU
field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and
re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field
sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits
wide like they used to.

interrupts if implemented for that architecture.

Initially, make __raw_read_lock_flags and __raw_write_lock_flags stubs
which just do the same thing as non-flags variants.

e8c158bb31 Factor out #ifdefs from kernel/spinlock.c to LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS
SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a
long period of time when waiting for a rwlock.  The following patch series
re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is
already there for spinlocks.

I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the
fast path.  I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other
architectures, because the systems are not so large.  Of course, the
possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture
is still there.

This patch:

The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation
depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when
possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.

1b0f7ffd0e pids: kill signal_struct-> __pgrp/__session and friends
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().

task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4, we can remove it.

task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.

This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.

The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.

52ee2dfdd4 pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe
Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy.

task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current.

As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu.  However, if
task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust
task->group_leader without the special checks.

And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix.

Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say,
task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical".

This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always
safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers.

After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well,
they're are a bit special.

3) The recursion in run_workqueue() will poison cwq->current_work, but

   cwq->current_work.

1ee1184485 ptrace_untrace: fix the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED check
This bug is ancient too. ptrace_untrace() must not resume the task
if the group stop in progress, we should set TASK_STOPPED instead.

Unfortunately, we still have problems here:

	- if the process/thread was traced, SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
	  does not necessary means this thread group is stopped.

	- ptrace breaks the bookkeeping of ->group_stop_count.

95a3540da9 ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic
Another ancient bug. Consider this trivial test-case,

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid = fork();

		if (pid) {
			ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
			wait(NULL);
			ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
		} else {
			pause();
			printf("WE HAVE A KERNEL BUG!!!\n");
		}

		return 0;
	}

the child must not "escape" for sys_pause(), but it can and this was seen
in practice.

This is because ptrace_detach does:

	if (!child->exit_state)
		wake_up_process(child);

this wakeup can happen after this child has already restarted sys_pause(),
because it gets another wakeup from ptrace_untrace().

With or without this patch, perhaps sys_pause() needs a fix.  But this
wakeup also breaks the SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED logic in ptrace_untrace().

Remove this wakeup.  The caller saw this task in TASK_TRACED state, and
unless it was SIGKILL'ed in between __ptrace_unlink()->ptrace_untrace()
should handle this case correctly.  If it was SIGKILL'ed, we don't need to
wakup the dying tracee too.

5dfc80be73 forget_original_parent: do not abuse child->ptrace_entry
By discussion with Roland.

- Use ->sibling instead of ->ptrace_entry to chain the need to be
  release_task'd childs. Nobody else can use ->sibling, this task
  is EXIT_DEAD and nobody can find it on its own list.

- rename ptrace_dead to dead_childs.

- Now that we don't have the "parallel" untrace code, change back
  reparent_thread() to return void, pass dead_childs as an argument.

Actually, I don't understand why do we notify /sbin/init when we
reparent a zombie, probably it is better to reap it unconditionally.
