2011-01-13dm: raid456 basic supportNeilBrown1-0/+70
This patch is the skeleton for the DM target that will be the bridge from DM to MD (initially RAID456 and later RAID1). It provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to the MD RAID456 drivers. As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following: 1: <s> <l> raid \ 2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \ 3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN> Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in this case is "raid". Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la, raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (again, raid1 is planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs. The possible parameters are as follows: <chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors. [[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization [rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index [daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits [min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization [max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization [max_write_behind <value>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm) [stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-' is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and data drives for a given position. Examples: # RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity # No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info # Chunk size of 1MiB # (Lines separated for easy reading) 0 1960893648 raid \ raid4 1 2048 \ 5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81 # RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices) # Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization, # min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk 0 1960893648 raid \ raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\ 5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81 Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional parameters). Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and health of the array. The output is as follows: 1: <s> <l> raid \ 2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio> Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example: 0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568 Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

2011-01-13dm crypt: add multi key capabilityMilan Broz1-1/+6
This patch adds generic multikey handling to be used in following patch for Loop-AES mode compatibility. This patch extends mapping table to optional keycount and implements generic multi-key capability. With more keys defined the <key> string is divided into several <keycount> sections and these are used for tfms. The tfm is used according to sector offset (sector 0->tfm[0], sector 1->tfm[1], sector N->tfm[N modulo keycount]) (only power of two values supported for keycount here). Because of tfms per-cpu allocation, this mode can be take a lot of memory on large smp systems.

2011-01-13x86: support XZ-compressed kernelLasse Collin1-3/+3
This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code. mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for kernel decompression. It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to keep the code simpler. The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64. Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number. With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2011-01-13decompressors: add XZ decompressor moduleLasse Collin1-0/+121
In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by XZ Utils. These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>. It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too. Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel: - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. - Integrity check support (CRC32) - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower. This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module (xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool, and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ decompressor e.g. for Squashfs. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

2011-01-13kptr_restrict for hiding kernel pointers from unprivileged usersDan Rosenberg1-0/+14
Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict sysctl. The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)".

2011-01-13leds: add output inversion option to backlight triggerJanusz Krzysztofik1-0/+9
Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for inverting the trigger output polarity. With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was turned off, without touching it. The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO trigger driver.
