proc: fix -ESRCH error when writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter

2015-12-18T22:25:40Z

Writing to /proc/$pid/coredump_filter always returns -ESRCH because commit 774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()") removed the setting of ret after the get_proc_task call and incorrectly left it as -ESRCH. Instead, return 0 when successful. Example breakage: echo 0 > /proc/self/coredump_filter bash: echo: write error: No such process Fixes: 774636e19ed51 ("proc: convert to kstrto*()/kstrto*_from_user()") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Acked-by: Kees Cook Cc: [4.3+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: actually make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

The commit 96d0df79f264 ("proc: make proc_fd_permission() thread-friendly") fixed the access to /proc/self/fd from sub-threads, but introduced another problem: a sub-thread can't access /proc//fd/ or /proc/thread-self/fd if generic_permission() fails. Change proc_fd_permission() to check same_thread_group(pid_task(), current).

fs/proc/array.c: set overflow flag in case of error

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

For now in task_name() we ignore the return code of string_escape_str() call. This is not good if buffer suddenly becomes not big enough. Do the proper error handling there. Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Cc: Alexander Viro Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm, oom: add comment for why oom_adj exists

2015-11-06T03:34:48Z

/proc/pid/oom_adj exists solely to avoid breaking existing userspace binaries that write to the tunable. Add a comment in the only possible location within the kernel tree to describe the situation and motivation for keeping it around.

mm: clear pte in clear_soft_dirty()

2015-11-06T03:34:48Z

As mentioned in the commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit"), architectures like ppc64 don't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions. So when dealing with existing pte in clear_soft_dirty, the pte must be cleared before being modified.

mm: hugetlb: proc: add HugetlbPages field to /proc/PID/status

2015-11-06T03:34:48Z

Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages, which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory (including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access to the info via /proc/PID/status.

mm: hugetlb: proc: add hugetlb-related fields to /proc/PID/smaps

2015-11-06T03:34:48Z

Currently /proc/PID/smaps provides no usage info for vma(VM_HUGETLB), which is inconvenient when we want to know per-task or per-vma base hugetlb usage.
