2007-10-19Console keyboard events and accessibilitySamuel Thibault2-0/+20
Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen. They use the PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are typing, the caps lock status, etc.) Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly. Below is a patch to add a notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog above for details. You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer. The problem is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes). This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard events and possibly eat them, at several stages: - keycodes: even before translation into keysym. - unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound. - unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character. - keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym. - post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result (caps lock, etc.) This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of keypresses.

2007-10-18fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attrMiklos Szeredi1-0/+7
There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single read or write call, namely: 1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs 2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to do larger write requests. But only if the original write() was also bigger than a page. In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app about the optimal I/O size. Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by stat() and friends. If the field is zero, it defaults to the old PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

This patch adds a new helper function fuse_write_fill() which makes it possible to send WRITE requests asynchronously.

2007-10-18ext3: support large blocksize up to PAGESIZETakashi Sato1-2/+2
This patch set supports large block size(>4k, <=64k) in ext3 just enlarging the block size limit. But it is NOT possible to have 64kB blocksize on ext3 without some changes to the directory handling code. The reason is that an empty 64kB directory block would have a rec_len == (__u16)2^16 == 0, and this would cause an error to be hit in the filesystem. The proposed solution is treat 64k rec_len with a an impossible value like rec_len = 0xffff to handle this. The Patch-set consists of the following 2 patches. [1/2] ext3: enlarge blocksize - Allow blocksize up to pagesize [2/2] ext3: fix rec_len overflow - prevent rec_len from overflow with 64KB blocksize Now on 64k page ppc64 box runs with this patch set we could create a 64k block size ext3, and able to handle empty directory block.

2007-10-18Redefine {un}register_hotcpu_notifier() !HOTPLUG_CPU stubsSatyam Sharma1-2/+3
The return of the present "do {} while" based stub definition of register_hotcpu_notifier() cannot be checked. This makes the stub asymmetric w.r.t. the real HOTPLUG_CPU=y implementation that is int-returning. So let us redefine this to be consistent with the full version. Also do the same for unregister_hotcpu_notifier(). We cannot define these as static inline functions due to an existing GCC bug (#33172). So define as macros that return appropriately instead (int '0' for the register_hotcpu_notifier case and void for unregister_hotcpu_notifier).

2007-10-18powerpc: add scaled time accountingMichael Neuling1-0/+3
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting. POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU frequency. This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit. The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read. An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR was read, which included the system call entry and exit path. Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was re-implemented. I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and 5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).

2007-10-18V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcapAndrew Morgan2-4/+7
The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1, can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities, there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on another. Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the implementation of CAP_SETPCAP. The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no process can set the capabilities of another process. The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution rules: pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec) pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI) pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0 at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI capability set. The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch) is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules are applied. Here is how it works: Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI. Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0. That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to be present in pP. The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond the above: if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) { pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */ } This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities are not useful to or needed by the login program itself. One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap) would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

2007-10-18sysctl: Error on bad sysctl tablesEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced. Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table. The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally adds a new binary sysctl value. As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up now are legitimate. [bunk@kernel.org: kernel/sysctl_check.c must #include <linux/string.h>] Signed-off-by: Eric W.
