2018-08-11sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memoryJann Horn
Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem. Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory while uts_sem is held.

2017-03-03sched/headers: Remove <linux/rwsem.h> from <linux/sched.h>Ingo Molnar
This is a stray header that is not needed by anything in sched.h, so remove it. Update files that relied on the stray inclusion. This reduces the size of the header dependency graph.

2011-11-02sysctl: add support for poll()Lucas De Marchi
Adding support for poll() in sysctl fs allows userspace to receive notifications of changes in sysctl entries. This adds a infrastructure to allow files in sysctl fs to be pollable and implements it for hostname and domainname.

2011-10-31kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.hPaul Gortmaker
The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them onto the isolated export header for faster compile times. Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of: -#include <linux/module.h> +#include <linux/export.h> This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

2009-09-24sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handlerAlexey Dobriyan
It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

2009-04-02proc_sysctl: use CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL around ipc and utsname proc_handlersSerge E. Hallyn
As pointed out by Cedric Le Goater (in response to Alexey's original comment wrt mqns), ipc_sysctl.c and utsname_sysctl.c are using CONFIG_PROC_FS, not CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, to determine whether to define the proc_handlers.

2008-10-16sysctl: simplify ->strategyAlexey Dobriyan
name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array may be needed (name).

2007-11-29Isolate the UTS namespace's domainname and hostname backPavel Emelyanov
Commit 7d69a1f4a72b18876c99c697692b78339d491568 ("remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS") by Cedric Le Goater accidentally removed the code that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being overwritten from another namespace. In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx > /proc/sys/kernel/(host|domain)name) cased the new value to be set in init UTS namespace only. Return the isolation back.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
