* [PATCH] timespec: normalize off by one errorsGeorge Anzinger2005-11-131-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | It would appear that the timespec normalize code has an off by one error. Found in three places. Thanks to Ben for spotting.

* [PATCH] Call exit_itimers from do_exit, not __exit_signalRoland McGrath2005-10-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work. This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers. [ This replaces e03d13e985d48ac4885382c9e3b1510c78bd047f, which is why it was just reverted. ] Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] fix send_sigqueue() vs thread exit raceOleg Nesterov2005-09-071-13/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case) does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops (->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand). This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal to thread group. Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event.

* [PATCH] posix timers: fix normalization problemGeorge Anzinger2005-07-281-14/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (We found this (after a customer complained) and it is in the kernel.org kernel. Seems that for CLOCK_MONOTONIC absolute timers and clock_nanosleep calls both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted prior to the normalize resulting in an overflow in the existing normalize test. This causes the result to be shifted ~4 seconds ahead instead of ~2 seconds back in time.) The normalize code in posix-timers.c fails when the tv_nsec member is ~1.2 seconds negative. This can happen on absolute timers (and clock_nanosleeps) requested on CLOCK_MONOTONIC (both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted resulting in the possibility of a number close to -2 seconds.) This fix uses the set_normalized_timespec() (which does not have an overflow problem) to fix the problem and as a side effect makes the code cleaner.

* [PATCH] posix-timers: use try_to_del_timer_sync()Oleg Nesterov2005-06-231-27/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_timer_settime/sys_timer_delete needs to delete k_itimer->real.timer synchronously while holding ->it_lock, which is also locked in posix_timer_fn. This patch removes timer_active/set_timer_inactive which plays with timer_list's internals in favour of using try_to_del_timer_sync(), which was introduced in the previous patch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
