proc: maps protection
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:
- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.
This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

add filesystem subtype support
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.
From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk. From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types. The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not. So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.
The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source. So an sshfs mount looks like this:
This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems. However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.
A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype". So fuse mounts would look like this:

epoll: optimizations and cleanups
Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of
the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I
noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this
(together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an
epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace
(in a single pass).
This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It
spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many
threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems.
http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c
This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit
possible problems with the new code.
Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark:
http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c
[1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can
be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()):
1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free
This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait
2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and
we're holding it in read during ep_send_events()
3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away
This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get
ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during
ep_send_events()
4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread
They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get
(splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get
its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time
inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will
not re-queue it if it sees it already linked:
if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink))
goto is_linked;
Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(),
coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten.
Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first
epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing
no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in
the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we
will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait().
5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously
This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test
done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the
item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try
to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When
we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy
the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next,
it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still
leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink)
that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point
we're already past it.

exec: fix remove_arg_zero
Petr Tesarik discovered a problem in remove_arg_zero(). He writes:
When a script is loaded, load_script() replaces argv[0] with the
name of the interpreter and the filename passed to the exec syscall.
However, there is no guarantee that the length of the interpreter
name plus the length of the filename is greater than the length of
the original argv[0]. If the difference happens to cross a page boundary,
setup_arg_pages() will call put_dirty_page() [aka install_arg_page()]
with an address outside the VMA.
Therefore, remove_arg_zero() must free all pages which would be unused
after the argument is removed.
So, rewrite the remove_arg_zero function without gotos, with a few comments,
and with the commonly used explicit index/offset. This fixes the problem
and makes it easier to understand as well.

timestamps into the distant past.
If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this
will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
(files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.

Add white list into modpost.c for memory hotplug code and ia64's machvec section
This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and
ia64's section to fix section mismatchs.
sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator
at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config
memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text)
from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch.
Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be
used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for
section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc()
and zone_wait_table_init() into white list.
In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform
dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These
reference of __init functions are valid too.

Increase slab redzone to 64bits
There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation.
Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit
integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter
modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the
first check in
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks())
On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8.
With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects
aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t.
By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable
redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that
loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it.
When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a
32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set
aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before
or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE
machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of
poison value.
One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit
redzones in all cases.

More trimming of the page fault path.
Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int. The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.
The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.
wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers. It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two. The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub. This gets rid of an
argument and some logic. The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.
user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.
The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.
