[PATCH] rcu_torture_lock deadlock fix

rcu_torture_lock is used in a softirq-unsafe manner, but it is also
taken by rcu_torture_cb(), which may execute in softirq-context,

1) Add/remove "delete" records for sending change reports when
        addition of a filter results in that filter transitioning to/from

3) change an is_in() "return 0" to "return type == MLD2_MODE_IS_INCLUDE".
        It should always be "0" to get here, but it improves code locality
        to not assume it, and if some race allowed otherwise, doing

Al Viro [Thu, 19 Jan 2006 12:57:01 +0000 (12:57 +0000)]
[ARM] safer handling of syscall table padding

ARM entry-common.S needs to know syscall table size; in itself that would
not be a problem, but there's an additional constraint - some of the
instructions using it want a constant that would be a multiple of 4.
So we have to pad syscall table with sys_ni_syscall and that's where
the trouble begins.  .rept pseudo-op wants a constant expression for
number of repetitions and subtraction of two labels (before and after
syscall table) doesn't always get simplified to constant early enough
for .rept.  If labels end up in different frags, we lose.  And while
the frag size is large enough (slightly below 4Kb), the syscall table
is about 1/3 of that.  We used to get away with that, but the recent
changes had been enough to trigger the breakage.

Proper fix is simple: have a macro (CALL(x)) to populate the table
instead of using explicit .long x and the first time we include calls.S
have it defined to .equ NR_syscalls,NR_syscalls+1.  Then we can find
the proper amount of padding on the first inclusion simply by looking
at NR_syscalls at that time.  And that will be constant, no matter what.

Moreover, the same trick kills the need of having an estimate of padded
NR_syscalls - it will be calculated for free at the same time.

18 years ago[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation
David Woodhouse [Thu, 19 Jan 2006 01:44:05 +0000 (17:44 -0800)]
[PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation

The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls
depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the
thread_info.

These system calls have to change the signal mask during their
operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary
signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful
exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal
handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the
original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal
mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call.

The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit
path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by
causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current
signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or
by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the
case where there is no handler to be invoked.

The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system
calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That
#ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented
it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC
kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the
arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them
with generic versions using the same trick.

The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch
adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table.

This patch:

Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by
the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with
their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

 (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.

 (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.

 (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
     rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.

 (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping

 (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
     -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
     kernel.

Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place:

 (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being
     ignored; force_sig() takes care of this.

 (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer
     necessary.

(10) Makes do_signal() static.

(11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused
     argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as
     registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S

Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(),
they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take
arguments normally.

[PATCH] vfs: *at functions: core

Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls
which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file
name.  These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous
occasions.  They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal,
they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working
directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc.

We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the
/proc/self/fd magic.  But this code is rather expensive.  Here are some
results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before).

The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem.  Then
rm -fr is used to remove all directories.  Without syscall support I get
this:

real    0m31.921s
user    0m0.688s
sys     0m31.234s

With syscall support the results are much better:

real    0m20.699s
user    0m0.536s
sys     0m20.149s

The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used.  But they'll
be used.  coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them.
Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using
them.  I expect a patch to make follow soon.  Every program which is walking
the filesystem tree will benefit.
