proc: fix inconsistent lock state

Lockdep found an inconsistent lock state when rcu is processing delayed work in softirq. Currently, kernel is using spin_lock/spin_unlock to protect proc_inum_ida, but proc_free_inum is called by rcu in softirq context.

procfs: add ability to plug in auxiliary fdinfo providers

2012-12-18T01:15:27Z

This patch brings ability to print out auxiliary data associated with file in procfs interface /proc/pid/fdinfo/fd. In particular further patches make eventfd, evenpoll, signalfd and fsnotify to print additional information complete enough to restore these objects after checkpoint. To simplify the code we add show_fdinfo callback inside struct file_operations (as Al and Pavel are proposing).

proc: pid/status: show all supplementary groups

2012-12-18T01:15:23Z

We display a list of supplementary group for each process in /proc//status. However, we show only the first 32 groups, not all of them. Although this is rare, but sometimes processes do have more than 32 supplementary groups, and this kernel limitation breaks user-space apps that rely on the group list in /proc//status. Number 32 comes from the internal NGROUPS_SMALL macro which defines the length for the internal kernel "small" groups buffer. There is no apparent reason to limit to this value. This patch removes the 32 groups printing limit. The Linux kernel limits the amount of supplementary groups by NGROUPS_MAX, which is currently set to 65536. And this is the maximum count of groups we may possibly print. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Acked-by: Serge E.

/proc/pid/status: add "Seccomp" field

2012-12-18T01:15:22Z

It is currently impossible to examine the state of seccomp for a given process. While attaching with gdb and attempting "call prctl(PR_GET_SECCOMP,...)" will work with some situations, it is not reliable. If the process is in seccomp mode 1, this query will kill the process (prctl not allowed), if the process is in mode 2 with prctl not allowed, it will similarly be killed, and in weird cases, if prctl is filtered to return errno 0, it can look like seccomp is disabled. When reviewing the state of running processes, there should be a way to externally examine the seccomp mode. ("Did this build of Chrome end up using seccomp?" "Did my distro ship ssh with seccomp enabled?") This adds the "Seccomp" line to /proc/$pid/status.
