tracehook: exec

2008-07-26T19:00:08Z

This moves all the ptrace hooks related to exec into tracehook.h inlines. This also lifts the calls for tracing out of the binfmt load_binary hooks into search_binary_handler() after it calls into the binfmt module. This change has no effect, since all the binfmt modules' load_binary functions did the call at the end on success, and now search_binary_handler() does it immediately after return if successful. We consolidate the repeated code, and binfmt modules no longer need to import ptrace_notify().

[PATCH] sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()

2008-04-25T13:23:53Z

* unshare_files() can fail; doing it after irreversible actions is wrong and de_thread() is certainly irreversible. * since we do it unconditionally anyway, we might as well do it in do_execve() and save ourselves the PITA in binfmt handlers, etc. * while we are at it, binfmt_som actually leaked files_struct on failure. As a side benefit, unshare_files(), put_files_struct() and reset_files_struct() become unexported. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe

2007-10-17T15:42:50Z

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

[PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_counters

2005-10-30T04:40:38Z

How is anon_rss initialized? In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type. And how is rss initialized? By set_mm_counter, all over the place. Come on, we just need to initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the memcpy when forking).

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
