bsd_acct: using task_struct->tgid is not right in pid-namespaces

2008-03-25T02:22:20Z

In case we're accounting from a sub-namespace, the tgids reported will not refer to the right namespace. Save the pid_namespace we're accounting in on the acct_glbs and use it in do_acct_process. Two less :) places using the task_struct.tgid member. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Paul E. McKenney" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

bsd_acct: plain current->real_parent access is not always safe

2008-03-25T02:22:19Z

This is minor, but dereferencing even current real_parent is not safe on debug kernels, since the memory, this points to, can be unmapped - RCU protection is required. Besides, the tgid field is deprecated and is to be replaced with task_tgid_xxx call (the 2nd patch), so RCU will be required anyway. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Paul E.

acct: real_parent ppid

2008-01-07T22:55:37Z

The ac_ppid field reported in process accounting records should match what getppid() would have returned to that process, regardless of whether a debugger is attached. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Cleanup non-arch xtime uses, use get_seconds() or current_kernel_time().

2007-07-25T17:09:20Z

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

[PATCH] do_acct_process(): don't take tty_mutex

2006-12-08T16:28:38Z

No need to take the global tty_mutex, signal->tty->driver can't go away while we are holding ->siglock. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking

2006-12-08T16:28:38Z

Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Alan Cox Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Prarit Bhargava Cc: Chris Wright Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: Stephen Smalley Cc: James Morris Cc: "David S.
