exec: kill task_struct->did_exec

2014-01-24T00:37:02Z

We can kill either task->did_exec or PF_FORKNOEXEC, they are mutually exclusive. The patch kills ->did_exec because it has a single user. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: KOSAKI Motohiro Cc: Al Viro Cc: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel/sys.c: remove obsolete #include

2013-11-13T03:09:13Z

Commit 15d94b82565e ("reboot: move shutdown/reboot related functions to kernel/reboot.c") moved all kexec-related functionality to kernel/reboot.c, so kernel/sys.c no longer needs to include .

userns: Kill nsown_capable it makes the wrong thing easy

2013-08-31T06:44:11Z

nsown_capable is a special case of ns_capable essentially for just CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID. For the existing users it doesn't noticably simplify things and from the suggested patches I have seen it encourages people to do the wrong thing. So remove nsown_capable.

exit.c: unexport __set_special_pids()

2013-07-03T23:08:02Z

Move __set_special_pids() from exit.c to sys.c close to its single caller and make it static. And rename it to set_special_pids(), another helper with this name has gone away. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel/sys.c:do_sysinfo(): use get_monotonic_boottime()

If LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT for reboot failed, the message "cannot halt" will stay on the same line with the next message, so append a '\n'. Signed-off-by: liguang Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu

2013-06-12T23:29:44Z

We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2dc63 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter.
