de_thread() yields waiting for ->group_leader to be a zombie. This deadlocks
if an rt-prio execer shares the same cpu with ->group_leader. Change the code
to use ->group_exit_task/notify_count mechanics.
This patch certainly uglifies the code, perhaps someone can suggest something
better.

de_thread() pre-allocates newsighand to make sure that exec() can't fail after
killing all sub-threads. Imho, this buys nothing, but complicates the code:
- this is (mostly) needed to handle CLONE_SIGHAND without CLONE_THREAD
tasks, this is very unlikely (if ever used) case
- unless we already have some serious problems, GFP_KERNEL allocation
should not fail
- ENOMEM still can happen after de_thread(), ->sighand is not the last
object we have to allocate
Change the code to allocate the new ->sighand on demand.

There is no any reason to do recalc_sigpending() after changing ->sighand.
To begin with, recalc_sigpending() does not take ->sighand into account.
This means we don't need to take newsighand->siglock while changing sighands.
rcu_assign_pointer() provides a necessary barrier, and if another process
reads the new ->sighand it should either take tasklist_lock or it should use
lock_task_sighand() which has a corresponding smp_read_barrier_depends().

Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of long
There is a type inconsistency between struct inode i_version and struct file
f_version.
fs.h:
struct inode
u64 i_version;
and
struct file
unsigned long f_version;
Users do:
fs/ext3/dir.c:
if (filp->f_version != inode->i_version) {
So why isn't f_version a u64 ? It becomes a problem if versions gets
higher than 2^32 and we are on an architecture where longs are 32 bits.
This patch changes the f_version type to u64, and updates the users accordingly.
It applies to 2.6.23-rc2-mm2.

Some months back I proposed changing the schedule() call in
read_events to an io_schedule():
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.aio.general/2006-10/msg00024.html
This was rejected as there are AIO operations that do not initiate
disk I/O. I've had another look at the problem, and the only AIO
operation that will not initiate disk I/O is IOCB_CMD_NOOP. However,
this command isn't even wired up!
Given that it doesn't work, and hasn't for *years*, I'm going to

Lomesh reported poll returning EINTR during suspend/resume cycle. This is
caused by the STOP/CONT cycle that the freezer uses, generating a pending
signal for what in effect is an ignored signal. In general poll is a
little eager in returning EINTR, when it could try not bother userspace and
simply restart the syscall. Both select and ppoll do use ERESTARTNOHAND to
restart the syscall. Oleg points out that simply using ERESTARTNOHAND will
cause poll to restart with original timeout value. which could ultimately
lead to process never returning to userspace. Instead use
ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, and restart poll with updated timeout value.
Inspired by Manfred's use ERESTARTNOHAND in poll patch.

permission() checks that MAY_EXEC is only allowed on regular files if at least

generic_permission() already ensures this, so the extra check in permission()
is superfluous.
If the filesystem defines it's own ->permission() the check may still be
needed. In this case move it after ->permission(). This is needed because
filesystems such as FUSE may need to refresh the inode attributes before
checking permissions.
This check should be moved inside ->permission(), but that's another story.

This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter.
This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to
be a mapping of an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may
give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and
executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in
a generic way just from its contents (e.g. when those binaries were built
with ld --build-id). I expect this to become the default behavior
eventually. Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it
creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come. Soon many
people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can
arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide.
This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not
need to be using atomic macros.

The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could
probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular
messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was
originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an
a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by
now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up
binfmt_elf.c up a bit.
I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25.
Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so
they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel.
This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk
warning users.

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.

Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of

Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files.

Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that
unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and
use /proc/mounts instead.
But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which
means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
options.
It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not
easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
/etc/mtab will be broken in this case.
This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].

list_del() hardly can fail, so checking for return value is pointless
(and current code always return 0).
Nobody really cared that return value anyway.

Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).
Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert
ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)
to
ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)
throughout the kernel
