2007-10-17core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipeNeil Horman1-2/+2
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.

2007-10-03Binfmt_flat: Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocationsBernd Schmidt1-1/+4
Add minimum support for the Blackfin relocations, since we don't have enough space in each reloc. The idea is to store a value with one relocation so that subsequent ones can access it. Actually, this patch is required for Blackfin. Currently if BINFMT_FLAT is enabled, git-tree kernel will fail to compile.

2007-02-09[PATCH] uclinux: correctly remap bin_fmtflat exe allocated mem regionsGreg Ungerer1-7/+24
remap() the region we get from mmap() to mark the fact that we are using all of the available slack space. Any slack space is used to form a simple brk region, and potentially more stack space than requested at load time. Any searches of the vma chain may well fail looking for stack (and especially arg) addresses if the remaping is not done. The simplest example is /proc/<pid>/cmdline, since the args are pretty much always at the top of the data/bss/stack region.

2006-12-08[PATCH] VFS: change struct file to use struct pathJosef "Jeff" Sipek1-1/+1
This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}. Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

2006-06-25[PATCH] uclinux: use PER_LINUX_32BIT in binfmt_flatMalcolm Parsons1-1/+1
binfmt_flat.c calls set_personality with PER_LINUX as the personality. On the arm architecture this results in the program running in 26bit usermode. PER_LINUX_32BIT should be used instead. This doesn't affect other architectures that use binfmt_flat. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-05-21[PATCH] binfmt_flat: don't check for EMFILEAndrew Morton1-21/+9
Bernd Schmidt points out that binfmt_flat is now leaving the exec file open while the application runs. This offsets all the application's fd numbers. We should have closed the file within exec(), not at exit()-time. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in doing all this just to avoid going over RLIMIT_NOFILE by one fd for a few microseconds. So take the EMFILE checking out again. This will cause binfmt_flat to again fail LTP's exec-should-return-EMFILE-when-fdtable-is-full test. That test appears to be wrong anyway - Open Group specs say nothing about exec() returning EMFILE.

2006-01-10[PATCH] uclinux: delay binfmt_flat traceGreg Ungerer1-7/+10
Modify the initial trace output (which is based on flags in the binary header) so that it is not done until after the magic number check. This may well not be a flat format binary, so the flags could be invalid. (Prime example, running a script). Changes prompted by patches from Stuart Hughs.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: mm_init set_mm_countersHugh Dickins1-1/+0
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).

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+901
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!
