proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::name a terminal array rather than a pointer

2011-07-27T19:50:45Z

Since __proc_create() appends the name it is given to the end of the PDE structure that it allocates, there isn't a need to store a name pointer. Instead we can just replace the name pointer with a terminal char array of _unspecified_ length. The compiler will simply append the string to statically defined variables of PDE type overlapping any hole at the end of the structure and, unlike specifying an explicitly _zero_ length array, won't give a warning if you try to statically initialise it with a string of more than zero length. Also, whilst we're at it: (1) Move namelen to end just prior to name and reduce it to a single byte (name shouldn't be longer than NAME_MAX). (2) Move pde_unload_lock two places further on so that if it's four bytes in size on a 64-bit machine, it won't cause an unused hole in the PDE struct.

mm: extract exe_file handling from procfs

2011-05-27T00:12:36Z

Setup and cleanup of mm_struct->exe_file is currently done in fs/proc/. This was because exe_file was needed only for /proc//exe. Since we will need the exe_file functionality also for core dumps (so core name can contain full binary path), built this functionality always into the kernel. To achieve that move that out of proc FS to the kernel/ where in fact it should belong. By doing that we can make dup_mm_exe_file static. Also we can drop linux/proc_fs.h inclusion in fs/exec.c and kernel/fork.c. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Cc: Alexander Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: make struct proc_maps_private truly private

2011-05-25T15:39:35Z

Now that mm/mempolicy.c is no longer implementing /proc/pid/numa_maps there is no need to export struct proc_maps_private to the world. Move it to fs/proc/internal.h instead.

ns: proc files for namespace naming policy.

2011-05-10T21:31:44Z

Create files under /proc//ns/ to allow controlling the namespaces of a process. This addresses three specific problems that can make namespaces hard to work with. - Namespaces require a dedicated process to pin them in memory. - It is not possible to use a namespace unless you are the child of the original creator. - Namespaces don't have names that userspace can use to talk about them. The namespace files under /proc//ns/ can be opened and the file descriptor can be used to talk about a specific namespace, and to keep the specified namespace alive. A namespace can be kept alive by either holding the file descriptor open or bind mounting the file someplace else. aka: mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /some/filesystem/path mount --bind /proc/self/fd/ /some/filesystem/path This allows namespaces to be named with userspace policy. It requires additional support to make use of these filedescriptors and that will be comming in the following patches. Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman
