      [PATCH] sanitize __user_walk_fd() et.al. · 2d8f3038
      Al Viro authored
      
      * do not pass nameidata; struct path is all the callers want.
      * switch to new helpers:
      	user_path_at(dfd, pathname, flags, &path)
      	user_path(pathname, &path)
      	user_lpath(pathname, &path)
      	user_path_dir(pathname, &path)  (fail if not a directory)
        The last 3 are trivial macro wrappers for the first one.
      * remove nameidata in callers.

      flag parameters: signalfd · 9deb27ba
      Ulrich Drepper authored
      
      This patch adds the new signalfd4 syscall.  It extends the old signalfd
      syscall by one parameter which is meant to hold a flag value.  In this
      patch the only flag support is SFD_CLOEXEC which causes the close-on-exec
      flag for the returned file descriptor to be set.
      
      A new name SFD_CLOEXEC is introduced which in this implementation must
      have the same value as O_CLOEXEC.
      
      The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
      x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

      Adds a check for an overflow in the filesystem size so if someone is
      checking with statfs() on a 16G blocksize hugetlbfs in a 32bit binary that
      it will report back EOVERFLOW instead of a size of 0.

      timerfd: new timerfd API · 4d672e7a
      Davide Libenzi authored
      This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
      
      int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
      int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
      		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
      		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
      int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
      
      The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
      parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
      
      The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
      retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
      NULL).
      
      The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
      is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.
      
      The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
      {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
      
      Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
      supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
      exercise the new timerfd APIs:

      utimensat implementation · 1c710c89
      Ulrich Drepper authored
      
      Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it
      
      a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
      b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
      c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
      d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
         of the BSD lutimes(3) functions
      
      For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
      accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.
      
      Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
      which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.
      
      Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
      such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
      not everybody likes (chroot etc).

      [PATCH] Add epoll compat_ code to fs/compat.c · f6dfb4fd
      Davide Libenzi authored
      
      IA64 and ARM-OABI are currently using their own version of epoll compat_
      code.
      
      An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit
      mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode.  If an architecture
      needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in
      asm/compat.h and set CONFIG_HAVE_COMPAT_EPOLL_EVENT and use
      compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.
      
      All 64 bit architecture should use compat_sys_epoll_pwait.
      
      [sfr: restructure and move to fs/compat.c, remove MIPS version
      of compat_sys_epoll_pwait, use __put_user_unaligned]

      [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in size · bbea9f69
      Vadim Lobanov authored
      
      Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
      fdarray and two fdsets.  The code allows the number of fds supported by the
      fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
      of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
      
      In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
      limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
      and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
      larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
      
      Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
      place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal.  This
      patch removes fdtable->max_fdset.  As an added bonus, most of the supporting
      code becomes simpler.

      [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbers · afefdbb2
      David Howells authored
      
      These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when
      communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system.  They are required
      because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS
      for example.  The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace
      automatically where the arch supports it.
      
      Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode
      number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and
      failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and
      so overlaps occur.
      
      This patch:
      
      Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit
      inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace.
      
      The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where
      available and where possible.  If it is not possible to represent the inode
      number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then
      error EOVERFLOW will be issued.
      
      Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode
      number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a
      directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented.
      
      Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit
      system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that
      there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to.
      
      Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a
      32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the
      same reasons.
      
      It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc
      uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions
      exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter
      unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

      [PATCH] Check return value of copy_to_user in compat_sys_pselect7 · 75833345
      Andi Kleen authored
      
      Fix
      
      linux/fs/compat.c: In function compat_sys_pselect7
      linux/fs/compat.c:1869: warning: ignoring return value of copy_to_user, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
      
      To make it easier to handle I changed to semantics to not try to
      write out a timespec if an error occurred. I hope that's ok.

      [PATCH] NFS: fix error handling on access_ok in compat_sys_nfsservctl · d64b1c87
      Lin Feng Shen authored
      
      Functions compat_nfs_svc_trans, compat_nfs_clnt_trans,
      compat_nfs_exp_trans, compat_nfs_getfd_trans and compat_nfs_getfs_trans,
      which are called by compat_sys_nfsservctl(fs/compat.c), don't handle the
      return value of access_ok properly.  access_ok return 1 when the addr is
      valid, and 0 when it's not, but these functions have the reversed
      understanding.  When the address is valid, they always return -EFAULT to
      compat_sys_nfsservctl.
      
      An example is to run /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd(32bit program on Power5).  It
      doesn't function as expected.  strace showes that nfsservctl returns
      -EFAULT.
      
      The patch fixes this by correcting the error handling on the return value
      of access_ok in the five functions.
