linux.git/fs/proc, branch v4.8-rc5

Merge branch 'stable-4.8' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit

2016-09-01T22:55:56+00:00

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
 "Two small patches to fix some bugs with the audit-by-executable
  functionality we introduced back in v4.3 (both patches are marked
  for the stable folks)"

* 'stable-4.8' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: fix exe_file access in audit_exe_compare
  mm: introduce get_task_exe_file

mm: introduce get_task_exe_file

2016-08-31T20:11:20+00:00

For more convenient access if one has a pointer to the task.

As a minor nit take advantage of the fact that only task lock + rcu are
needed to safely grab ->exe_file. This saves mm refcount dance.

Use the helper in proc_exe_link.

proc, meminfo: use correct helpers for calculating LRU sizes in meminfo

2016-08-11T23:58:13+00:00

meminfo_proc_show() and si_mem_available() are using the wrong helpers
for calculating the size of the LRUs.  The user-visible impact is that
there appears to be an abnormally high number of unevictable pages.

Merge branch 'work.const-qstr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2016-08-06T13:49:02+00:00

Pull qstr constification updates from Al Viro:
 "Fairly self-contained bunch - surprising lot of places passes struct
  qstr * as an argument when const struct qstr * would suffice; it
  complicates analysis for no good reason.

  I'd prefer to feed that separately from the assorted fixes (those are
  in #for-linus and with somewhat trickier topology)"

fs/proc: Add compiler check for -Wno-override-init to support gcc < 4.2

2016-08-03T16:45:23+00:00

With gcc < 4.2 (e.g. 4.1.2):

      CC      fs/proc/task_mmu.o
    cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-override-init"

To fix this, only enable the compiler option when it is actually
supported by the compiler.

fs/proc/task_mmu.c: suppress compilation warnings with W=1

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

Suppress a bunch of warnings of the form:

  fs/proc/task_mmu.c: In function 'show_smap_vma_flags':
  fs/proc/task_mmu.c:635:22: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Wt override-init]
     [ilog2(VM_READ)] = "rd",
                        ^~~~
  fs/proc/task_mmu.c:635:22: note: (near initialization for 'mnemonics[0]')

They happen because of the way we intentionally build the table, so
silence the warning when building with 'make W=1'.

procfs: avoid 32-bit time_t in /proc/*/stat

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

/proc/stat shows (among lots of other things) the current boottime (i.e.
number of seconds since boot).  While a 32-bit number is sufficient for
this particular case, we want to get rid of the 'struct timespec'
suffers from a 32-bit overflow in 2038.

This changes the code to use a struct timespec64, which is known to be
safe in all cases.

proc_oom_score: remove tasklist_lock and pid_alive()

2016-08-02T21:31:41+00:00

This was needed before to ensure that ->signal != 0 and do_each_thread()
is safe, see commit b95c35e76b29b ("oom: fix the unsafe usage of
badness() in proc_oom_score()") for details.

Today tsk->signal can't go away and for_each_thread(tsk) is always safe.
