utsname: completely overwrite prior information
On sethostname() and setdomainname(), previous information may be retained
if it was longer than than the new hostname/domainname.
This can be demonstrated trivially by calling sethostname() first with a
long name, then with a short name, and then calling uname() to retrieve
the full buffer that contains the hostname (and possibly parts of the old
hostname), one just has to look past the terminating zero.
I don't know if we should really care that much (hence the RFC); the only
scenarios I can possibly think of is administrator putting something
sensitive in the hostname (or domain name) by accident, and changing it
back will not undo the mistake entirely, though it's not like we can
recover gracefully from "rm -rf /" either... The other scenario is
namespaces (CLONE_NEWUTS) where some information may be unintentionally
"inherited" from the previous namespace (a program wants to hide the
original name and does clone + sethostname, but some information is still
left).
I think the patch may be defended on grounds of the principle of least
surprise. But I am not adamant :-)
(I guess the question now is whether userspace should be able to
write embedded NULs into the buffer or not...)
At least the observation has been made and the patch has been presented.

profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtime
Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy
behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too
much system time and I wonder what is responsible.
I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by
default. Dang!
The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we
generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and
runtime-alloc it?
To use:
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile
Then run readprofile like normal.
This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested
on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

rlimit: permit setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY
When a process wants to set the limit of open files to RLIM_INFINITY it
gets EPERM even if it has CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability.
For example, BIND does:
...
#elif defined(NR_OPEN) && defined(__linux__)
/*
* Some Linux kernels don't accept RLIM_INFINIT; the maximum
* possible value is the NR_OPEN defined in linux/fs.h.
*/
if (resource == isc_resource_openfiles && rlim_value == RLIM_INFINITY) {
rl.rlim_cur = rl.rlim_max = NR_OPEN;
unixresult = setrlimit(unixresource, &rl);
if (unixresult == 0)
return (ISC_R_SUCCESS);
}
#elif ...
If we allow setting RLIMIT_NOFILE to RLIM_INFINITY we increase portability
- you don't have to check if OS is linux and then use different schema for
limits.
The spec says "Specifying RLIM_INFINITY as any resource limit value on a
successful call to setrlimit() shall inhibit enforcement of that resource
limit." and we're presently not doing that.

Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit

Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it

It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit

initramfs: add option to preserve mtime from initramfs cpio images
When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows
mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the
initramfs.
For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the initramfs, this
is invaluable:
When building embedded application initramfs images, its nice to know when
the files were actually created during the build process - that makes it
easier to see what files were modified when so we can compare the files
that are being used on the image with the files used during the build
process. This might help (for example) to determine if the target system
has all the updated files you expect to see w/o having to check MD5s etc.
In our environment, the whole system runs off the initramfs partition, and
seeing the modified times of the shared libraries (for example) helps us
find bugs that may have been introduced by the build system incorrectly
propogating outdated shared libraries into the image.
Similarly, many of the initializion/configuration files in /etc might be
dynamically built by the build system, and knowing when they were modified
helps us sanity check whether the target system has the "latest" files
etc.
Finally, we might use last modified times to determine whether a hot fix
should be applied or not to the running ramfs.

wait: kill is_sync_wait()
is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits.
Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry()
and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async
distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only
function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async.
This has a few problems.
* No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait()
functions, so the code path never gets executed.
* The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only
by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p
and poll/select.
* Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how
@wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API.
* It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good
reason.
This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from
prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths,
this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

pm: rework disabling of user mode helpers during suspend/hibernation
We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend
and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume. However, this is not
an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into
memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and
there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as
expected (ie. the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run
after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware).
For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of
user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core
as necessary.

hugetlb: handle updating of ACCESSED and DIRTY in hugetlb_fault()
The page fault path for normal pages, if the fault is neither a no-page
fault nor a write-protect fault, will update the DIRTY and ACCESSED bits
in the page table appropriately.
The hugepage fault path, however, does not do this, handling only no-page
or write-protect type faults. It assumes that either the ACCESSED and
DIRTY bits are irrelevant for hugepages (usually true, since they are
never swapped) or that they are handled by the arch code.
This is inconvenient for some software-loaded TLB architectures, where the
_PAGE_ACCESSED (_PAGE_DIRTY) bits need to be set to enable read (write)
access to the page at the TLB miss. This could be worked around in the
arch TLB miss code, but the TLB miss fast path can be made simple more
easily if the hugetlb_fault() path handles this, as the normal page fault
path does.

introduce generic header file for the software IO/TLB
A series of patches introduce a generic header file for the software
IO/TLB implementation in lib/swiotlb.c. Currently each architecture using
this code defines the prototypes itself. The prototypes are moved to
include/linux/swiotlb.h and this file is included in architecture specific
code for X86 and IA64.
This patch:
Create include/linux/swiotlb.h file which contains all function prototypes
for the lib/swiotlb.c file.

xfs: fix remount rw with unrecognized options
When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just break
out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing
the xfs-internal read-only flag. This will only show up on some
operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS
which thinks this filesystem is r/w. Eventually we should replace the
XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to make
sure they can never get out of sync.
