x86: DEBUG_PAGEALLOC: enable after mem_init()

2008-02-09T22:24:09Z

DEBUG_PAGEALLOC must not be enabled before mem_init(). Before this point there is nothing to allocate. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Convert loglevel-related kernel boot parameters to early_param

2008-02-08T17:22:42Z

So we can use them for the early console like console=uart8250 or earlycon=uart8250 or early_printk Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Cc: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

start the global /sbin/init with 0,0 special pids

2008-02-08T17:22:27Z

As Eric pointed out, there is no problem with init starting with sid == pgid == 0, and this was historical linux behavior changed in 2.6.18. Remove kernel_init()->__set_special_pids(), this is unneeded and complicates the rules for sys_setsid(). This change and the previous change in daemonize() mean that /sbin/init does not need the special "session != 1" hack in sys_setsid() any longer. We can't remove this check yet, we should cleanup copy_process(CLONE_NEWPID) first, so update the comment only. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: "Eric W.

teach set_special_pids() to use struct pid

2008-02-08T17:22:27Z

Change set_special_pids() to work with struct pid, not pid_t from global name space. This again speedups and imho cleanups the code, also a preparation for the next patch.

namespaces: cleanup the code managed with PID_NS option

2008-02-08T17:22:23Z

Just like with the user namespaces, move the namespace management code into the separate .c file and mark the (already existing) PID_NS option as "depend on NAMESPACES" [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Cc: Cedric Le Goater Cc: "Eric W.

namespaces: cleanup the code managed with the USER_NS option

2008-02-08T17:22:23Z

Make the user_namespace.o compilation depend on this option and move the init_user_ns into user.c file to make the kernel compile and work without the namespaces support. This make the user namespace code be organized similar to other namespaces'. Also mask the USER_NS option as "depend on NAMESPACES".

namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option

2008-02-08T17:22:23Z

Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

namespaces: move the UTS namespace under UTS_NS option

2008-02-08T17:22:23Z

Currently all the namespace management code is in the kernel/utsname.c file, so just compile it out and make stubs in the appropriate header. The init namespace itself is in init/version.c and is in the kernel all the time. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Cc: Cedric Le Goater Cc: "Eric W.
