broken. Inside the kernel, we always have to use the real values of the
st_name fields, and only do the math when the request comes from userland.
No need for ksyms_getval_from{kernel,userland} hack anymore. However, a
different version will be asked for pull-up in -2{,-0}, one that doesn't
break the API, that is.
Fixes PR#29133 from Jens Kessmeier.
define and use vm_map_set{min,max}() for modifying these values.
remove the {min,max}_offset aliases for these vm_map fields to be more
namespace-friendly. PR 26475.
section headers. We only allocate memory for those headers on compat_linux
and compat_ibcs2 while we probe, and although 32K is not such a big number,
we could fix the code in those two places to read section-by-section instead
of all the sections at once as it does now, if we really felt like it.
doing a context switch. use this on sparc and sparc64 to avoid trying
to access user memory (writing the register windows back to the stack)
in this case (since it's both unnecessary and wrong).
compare fd and fdp->fd_lastfile in fdrelease(), so change the test to a
more explicit one. Spotted by Matt Thomas.
Should fix the panic reported by Matthias Scheler.
Hence, make find_last_set return -1 in such situation, and initialize it
such. Otherwise, with 0 meaning two things, it confused the F_CLOSEM
fcntl which could end up looping indifintely (PR#28929 by Brian Marcotte).
However, this change enlightens another bug in fdcopy(), where more entries
than needed were cleared in the new file descriptor table, so the memset()
call there is fixed too.
Analyzed with the help of Greg Oster.
can in some situations exceed the high-water mark, and stay there once it
gets there. Adjust the canrelease function so that it will immediately
bring us back down to the high-water mark in this situation.
How can this happen at all? Consider a machine with two filesystems, one
with a much larger blocksize than the other. If the small-block filesystem
is very busy, growing the cache up to the high-water mark, and then the
large-block filesystem becomes busy, buffers will be recycled (since we
are at the high-water mark) but _grow each time they're recycled_. Once
we're above the high-water mark, the canrelease call in allocbuf (without
this change) doesn't shrink us back down below it; so things get worse and
worse.
and just passes it on to the file system functions. This avoids opening and
closing the device several times.
Mentioned on tech-kern some time ago, IIRC. I've been running this for a
long time.
do not leak siginfo structures.
Note that in the cases of trap signals and timer events, losing this
information could be very bad; right now it will cause us to spin until the
process is SIGKILLed.

(sanity change only, this can never happen at the moment)
* only add the symbol table for the current module if the LKM_E_LOAD
hook returns success; otherwise we overwrite the LKM_E_LOAD error,
which may ultimately lead to (incorrectly) allowing the module load
* only delete the sumbol table for current module if we actually added
the symbol table; avoids deleting symbol table of previously loaded
module when the same module is loaded twice, when the second load
fails with EEXIST

- Use bitmask_snprintf() instead of hand-rolled code.
- Always check array bounds before dereferencing print arrays.
- Order arguments in the vnode printing functions consistently.
