mm: memcontrol: rein in the CONFIG space madness

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

What CONFIG_INET and CONFIG_LEGACY_KMEM guard inside the memory controller code is insignificant, having these conditionals is not worth the complication and fragility that comes with them.

mm: memcontrol: introduce CONFIG_MEMCG_LEGACY_KMEM

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

Let the user know that CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM does not apply to the cgroup2 interface. This also makes legacy-only code sections stand out better.

init/do_mounts: initrd_load() can be boolean

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit

2016-01-18T02:48:49Z

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore: "Seven audit patches for 4.5, all very minor despite the diffstat. The diffstat churn for linux/audit.h can be attributed to needing to reshuffle the linux/audit.h header to fix the seccomp auditing issue (see the commit description for details). Besides the seccomp/audit fix, most of the fixes are around trying to improve the connection with the audit daemon and a Kconfig simplification. Nothing crazy, and everything passes our little audit-testsuite" * 'upstream' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit: audit: always enable syscall auditing when supported and audit is enabled audit: force seccomp event logging to honor the audit_enabled flag audit: Delete unnecessary checks before two function calls audit: wake up threads if queue switched from limited to unlimited audit: include auditd's threads in audit_log_start() wait exception audit: remove audit_backlog_wait_overflow audit: don't needlessly reset valid wait time

Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - more MM stuff: - Kirill's page-flags rework - Kirill's now-allegedly-fixed THP rework - MADV_FREE implementation - DAX feature work (msync/fsync). This isn't quite complete but DAX is new and it's good enough and the guys have a handle on what needs to be done - I expect this to be wrapped in the next week or two. - some vsprintf maintenance work - various other misc bits * emailed patches from Andrew Morton : (145 commits) printk: change recursion_bug type to bool lib/vsprintf: factor out %pN[F] handler as netdev_bits() lib/vsprintf: refactor duplicate code to special_hex_number() printk-formats.txt: remove unimplemented %pT printk: help pr_debug and pr_devel to optimize out arguments lib/test_printf.c: test dentry printing lib/test_printf.c: add test for large bitmaps lib/test_printf.c: account for kvasprintf tests lib/test_printf.c: add a few number() tests lib/test_printf.c: test precision quirks lib/test_printf.c: check for out-of-bound writes lib/test_printf.c: don't BUG lib/kasprintf.c: add sanity check to kvasprintf lib/vsprintf.c: warn about too large precisions and field widths lib/vsprintf.c: help gcc make number() smaller lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits lib/vsprintf.c: eliminate potential race in string() lib/vsprintf.c: move string() below widen_string() lib/vsprintf.c: pull out padding code from dentry_name() printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles ...

uselib: default depending if libc5 was used

2016-01-16T19:17:24Z

uselib hasn't been used since libc5; glibc does not use it. Deprecate uselib a bit more, by making the default y only if libc5 was widely used on the plaform.

audit: always enable syscall auditing when supported and audit is enabled

2016-01-13T14:18:55Z

To the best of our knowledge, everyone who enables audit at compile time also enables syscall auditing; this patch simplifies the Kconfig menus by removing the option to disable syscall auditing when audit is selected and the target arch supports it. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore

Merge branch 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup

2016-01-13T03:20:32Z

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - cgroup v2 interface is now official. It's no longer hidden behind a devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type. Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the moment. - The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface. - Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths. The actual netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in the said branch. - Various cleanups * 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: rename cgroup documentations cgroup: fix a typo. cgroup: Remove resource_counter.txt in Documentation/cgroup-legacy/00-INDEX. cgroup: demote subsystem init messages to KERN_DEBUG cgroup: Fix uninitialized variable warning cgroup: put controller Kconfig options in meaningful order cgroup: clean up the kernel configuration menu nomenclature cgroup_pids: fix a typo. Subject: cgroup: Fix incomplete dd command in blkio documentation cgroup: kill cgrp_ss_priv[CGROUP_CANFORK_COUNT] and friends cpuset: Replace all instances of time_t with time64_t cgroup: replace unified-hierarchy.txt with a proper cgroup v2 documentation cgroup: rename Documentation/cgroups/ to Documentation/cgroup-legacy/ cgroup: replace __DEVEL__sane_behavior with cgroup2 fs type
