The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
similar functions.
Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly
written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed
in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
buggy programs.
The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.
Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only
this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
behaviour is not changed.
Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for
days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded
anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().
The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.
Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

PNFS_BLOCK needs BLK_DEV_DM/MD, which is not a dependency for other

syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG
was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning.
Commit ee24aebffb75 ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping
the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace
we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins
when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a
recent kernel.
Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to
give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted
backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

This reverts commit 8521fc50d433507a7cdc96bec280f9e5888a54cc.
The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE
bit operations is sufficient but that is not true. Johannes Weiner has
reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal:

We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are
checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache. The cache is
already cleaned up, though.
There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed
between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
mem=stock->cached
stock->cached=NULL
clear_bit
test_and_set_bit
test_bit() ...
<preempted> mem_cgroup_destroy
use after free
The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.
It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of
partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that
empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.
Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are
enabled.

The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging. It returns a pointer
to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.
If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
doesn't work. Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.
value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;
The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
is u8. The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
the second line has no effect.
This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

With the UM_SIGNAL alignment fault mode, no siginfo structure is
passed to userspace.
POSIX specifies how siginfo_t should be populated for alignment
faults, so this patch does just that:
* si_signo = SIGBUS
* si_code = BUS_ADRALN
* si_addr = misaligned data address at which access was attempted

access model
Currently, it's possible to set the kernel to ignore alignment
faults when changing the alignment fault handling mode at runtime
via /proc/sys/alignment, even though this is undesirable on ARMv6
and above, where it can result in infinite spins where an un-fixed-
up instruction repeatedly faults.
In addition, the kernel clobbers any alignment mode specified on
the command-line if running on ARMv6 or above.
This patch factors out the necessary safety check into a couple of
new helper functions, and checks and modifies the fault handling
mode as appropriate on boot and on writes to /proc/cpu/alignment.
Prior to ARMv6, the behaviour is unchanged.
For ARMv6 and above, the behaviour changes as follows:
* Attempting to ignore faults on ARMv6 results in the mode being
forced to UM_FIXUP instead. A warning is printed if this
happened as a result of a write to /proc/cpu/alignment. The
user's UM_WARN bit (if present) is still honoured.
* An alignment= argument from the kernel command-line is now
honoured, except that the kernel will modify the specified mode
as described above. This is allows modes such as UM_SIGNAL and
UM_WARN to be active immediately from boot, which is useful for
debugging purposes.

poison_init_mem() used a loop of:
while ((count = count - 4))
which has 2 problems - an off by one error so that we do one less word
than we should, and the other is that if count == 0 then we loop forever
and poison too much. On a platform with HAVE_TCM=y but nothing in the
TCM's, this caused corruption and the platform failed to boot.

The file mm/proc-arm946.S contains a typo and is missing a structure
member in __arm946_proc_info. The former prevents compilation
and the latter causes problems during boot. It is likely this
file was manually copied from a similar file and not tested, then
later updates to the *_proc_info structures missed this file.
This patch will apply (with offset) with or without the
recent macro unification work that has been done in this directory.
This was verified against linux-next/stable last week.

Something changed during the 3.1 merge window in the include files
which now causes the pl08x DMA engine driver to fail to build. Fix
this by adding the now necessary dma-mapping.h include:
drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c: In function ■pl08x_unmap_buffers■:
drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c:1524: error: implicit declaration of function ■dma_unmap_single■

The previous comit made the autofs4 debug printouts check types against
the printout format, and uncovered this bug:
fs/autofs4/waitq.c:106:2: warning: format ‘%08lx’ expects type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘autofs_wqt_t’
which is due to the insane type for wait_queue_token. That thing should
be some fixed well-defined size (preferably just 'unsigned int' or
'u32') but for unexplained reasons it is randomly either 'unsigned long'
or 'unsigned int' depending on the architecture.
For now, cast it to 'unsigned long' for printing, the way we do
elsewhere. Somebody else can try to explain the typedef mess.
(There's a reason we don't support excessive use of typedefs in the
kernel: it's usually just a good way of confusing yourself).

Use 'pr_debug()' for DPRINTK, which will do the proper type checking on
the arguments (without generating code) even when DEBUG isn't #defined.
Also, use the standard __VA_ARGS__ for the macros, and stop the
pointless abuse of 'do { xyz } while (0)' when the macro is already a
perfectly well-formed single statement.

Commit 3295514841c2 ("fix rcu annotations noise in cred.h") accidentally
dropped the const of current->cred inside current_cred() by the
insertion of a cast to deal with an RCU annotation loss warning from
sparce.
Use an appropriate RCU wrapper instead so as not to lose the const.

Adding install-python_ext target to install python extension related
files. Installation directory is governed by python distutils package
and follows the DESTDIR variable settings.
Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build'
directory and making it configurable via PYTHON_EXTBUILD variable.
Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing
as of until now.

In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
$GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
in some unexpected way.
"config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing
context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
variable.
