exec/ptrace: fix get_dumpable() incorrect tests
The get_dumpable() return value is not boolean. Most users of the
function actually want to be testing for non-SUID_DUMP_USER(1) rather than
SUID_DUMP_DISABLE(0). The SUID_DUMP_ROOT(2) is also considered a
protected state. Almost all places did this correctly, excepting the two
places fixed in this patch.
Wrong logic:
if (dumpable == SUID_DUMP_DISABLE) { /* be protective */ }
or
if (dumpable == 0) { /* be protective */ }
or
if (!dumpable) { /* be protective */ }
Correct logic:
if (dumpable != SUID_DUMP_USER) { /* be protective */ }
or
if (dumpable != 1) { /* be protective */ }
Without this patch, if the system had set the sysctl fs/suid_dumpable=2, a
user was able to ptrace attach to processes that had dropped privileges to
that user. (This may have been partially mitigated if Yama was enabled.)
The macros have been moved into the file that declares get/set_dumpable(),
which means things like the ia64 code can see them too.

Discussion at Kernel Summit made it clear that the presence or absence of

In addition, kernel-internal symbols are well established as non-ABI, per

fat: add fat_fallocate operation
Implement preallocation via the fallocate syscall on VFAT partitions.
This patch is based on an earlier patch of the same name which had some
issues detailed below and did not get accepted. Refer
https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/22/130.
a) The preallocated space was not persistent when the
FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was set. It will deallocate cluster at evict
time.
b) There was no need to zero out the clusters when the flag was set
Instead of doing an expanding truncate, just allocate clusters and add
them to the fat chain. This reduces preallocation time.
Compatibility with windows: There are no issues when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
is not set because it just does an expanding truncate. Thus reading from
the preallocated area on windows returns null until data is written to it.
When a file with preallocated area using the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE was
written to on windows, the windows driver freed-up the preallocated
clusters and allocated new clusters for the new data. The freed up
clusters gets reflected in the free space available for the partition
which can be seen from the Volume properties.
The windows chkdsk tool also does not report any errors on a disk
containing files with preallocated space.
And there is also no issue using linux fat fsck. because discard
preallocated clusters at repair time.

AttributesFile during mkfs phase. Also it is a very frequent situation
for the case of users that created HFS+ volumes under Linux. As a result,
xattrs and POSIX ACLs on HFS+ volume are unavailable for such users.
This patchset implements functionality of AttributesFile creation on HFS+

This patch:
Add functionality of metadata file's clump size calculation. Operation of
AttributesFile creation needs in clump size setting. This value will be
used when AttributesFile will be extended.

The PID and the TGID of the process triggering the mount are sent to the

not running in the initial pid namespace.
So send the pid values that are valid in the namespace of the autofs daemon.
The namespace to use is taken from the oz_pgrp pid pointer, which was set
at mount time to the mounting process' pid namespace.
If the pid translation fails (the triggering process is in an unrelated

autofs4: allow autofs to work outside the initial PID namespace
Enable autofs4 to work in a "container". oz_pgrp is converted from pid_t
to struct pid and this is stored at mount time based on the "pgrp=" option
or if the option is missing then the current pgrp.
The "pgrp=" option is interpreted in the PID namespace of the current
process. This option is flawed in that it doesn't carry the namespace
information, so it should be deprecated. AFAICS the autofs daemon always
sends the current pgrp, which is the default anyway.
The oz_pgrp is also set from the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD ioctl.
This ioctl sets oz_pgrp to the current pgrp. It is not allowed to change
the pid namespace.
oz_pgrp is used mainly to determine whether the process traversing the
autofs mount tree is the autofs daemon itself or not. This function now
compares the pid pointers instead of the pid_t values.
One other use of oz_pgrp is in autofs4_show_options. There is shows the
virtual pid number (i.e. the one that is valid inside the PID namespace
of the calling process)
For debugging printk convert oz_pgrp to the value in the initial pid
namespace.

This patch proposes to make init failures more explicit.
Before this, the "No init found" message didn't help much. It could
sometimes be misleading and actually mean "No *working* init found".
This message could hide many different issues:
- no init program candidates found at all
- some init program candidates exist but can't be executed
(missing execute permissions, failed to load shared libraries,
executable compiled for an unknown architecture...)
This patch notifies the kernel user when a candidate init program is found
but can't be executed. In each failure situation, the error code is
displayed, to quickly find the root cause. "No init found" is also
replaced by "No working init found", which is more correct.
This will help embedded Linux developers (especially the newcomers),
regularly making and debugging new root filesystems.

init/do_mounts_rd.c: fix NULL pointer dereference while loading initramfs
Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial
ramdisk image. But this choice does not result in duly compressed initial
ramdisk image. Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected
compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs
file. dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie.
gzip(1).
If a user chose any other compression instead of gzip(1), it leads to a
crash due to NULL pointer dereference in crd_load(), caused by a NULL
function pointer returned by the 'decompress_method()' routine. Because
the initramfs image is gzip(1) compressed, whereas the kernel knows only
to decompress the chosen format and not gzip(1).
This patch replaces the crash by an explicit panic() call with an
appropriate error message. This shall prevent the kernel from
eventually panicking in: init/do_mounts.c: mount_block_root() with

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies
When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached
directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex',
unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the
'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep
wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD
operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor
attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to
hold the 'epmutex'.
This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves
scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb
performance:
"On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In
addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling
well on just over 40 sockets.
...
Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like
I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: remove the on_list check for 'struct epitem'
By removing the 'int on_list' field from 'struct epitem', we avoid hitting
the BUILD_BUG_ON() for 'struct epitem' being larger than 128 bytes.
In file included from include/linux/init.h:4:0,
from fs/eventpoll.c:14:
fs/eventpoll.c: In function 'eventpoll_init':
include/linux/compiler.h:321:20: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_2137' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof(void *) <= 8 && sizeof(struct epitem) > 128
prefix ## suffix(); \
The check to make sure that the 'struct epitem' was actually linked via
epi->fllink was added to avoid having the list removal primitives called
twice for the same 'struct epitem'. However, the double call possibility
was removed by 'Subject: epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu'. There,
the call to 'list_del_init()' in eventpoll_release_file() was removed (we
now rely on the list delete happening entirely in 'ep_remove()', which is
called from eventpoll_release_file()).
There is also the question as to whether multiple ep_remove() calls could
happen concurrently. This can not happen since EPOLL_CTL_DEL can't race
with eventpoll_release_file() or ep_free() - it has to do an fget() to
proceed. Further, eventpoll_release_file() can not race with ep_free(),
since they both acquire the 'epmutex'.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu
Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of
SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is
taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations.
Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path
by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals.
Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for
simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to
a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested.
This patch (of 2):
Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by
converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can
traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes.
Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe.
This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex'
for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in
scalability for SPECjbb.

checkpatch: make the memory barrier test noisier
Peter Zijlstra prefers that comments be required near uses of memory
barriers.
Change the message level for memory barrier uses from a --strict test only
to a normal WARN so it's always emitted.
This might produce false positives around insertions of memory barriers
when a comment is outside the patch context block.
And checkpatch is still stupid, it only looks for existence of any
comment, not at the comment content.

Extend the CamelCase words found to include structure members.

"In general, if checkpatch.pl complains about a variable a patch
introduces that's CamelCase, you should pay attention to it. Otherwise,
[] ignore it."
So, if checking a patch, scan the original patched file if it's available
and add any preexisting CamelCase types so reuses do not generate
CamelCase messages.
That also means Andrew's not so cruelly spurned anymore.
