Remove the old timers/timer_opts infrastructure which has been disabled.  It

Note that this does not provide any i386 clocksources, so you will only have

late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies
clocksource.

This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the
current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using
shifted nanoseconds.

The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own
interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the

[PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines

This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.

The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the

function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
had NUMA ifdef'ed out.

I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulation

In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is
used for per-process data structure.  The pacct facility also uses it as a
per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt.  But those
members are saved in __exit_signal().  It's too late.

For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a
possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads.  (see, the
following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting
information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure
before writing out an accounting record.

This patch fixes this matter.  Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt
are done before generating accounting record.

[PATCH] pacct: avoidance to refer the last thread as a representation of the process

When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it
refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process.  But any
other task_structs are ignored.

Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are
used by any other threads except the last one.  In addition, AFORK flag is
always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this
process has called execve() after fork().

We have a same matter in ac_exitcode.  The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit
code of the last thread in the process.  There is a possibility this exitcode
is not the group leader's one.

But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling
exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory.  In the results, any

[PATCH] Implement kasprintf

Implement kasprintf, a kernel version of asprintf.  This allocates the
memory required for the formatted string, including the trailing '\0'.
Returns NULL on allocation failure.

18 years ago[PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL buffer
Jeremy Fitzhardinge [Sun, 25 Jun 2006 12:49:17 +0000 (05:49 -0700)]
[PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL buffer

This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer
with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting
formatted string will be.

Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on
32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to
emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would
crash if the buffer is NULL.

This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative
location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0.

vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow
unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).
