Hi all

i want create a LSM function that checks the properties of an inode using as criteria for filtering the pathname requested by a process, not this with symlinks resolved. In what part of the fs code is this information available? There's an existent security hook suitable for this purpose?

Thanks for replies.

Hi,

I am trying to port Synopsys OTG USB driver 2.90. to Xtensa Linux 2.6.29.1.

I got Synopsys OTG USB driver which was for the IPMate platform.

It has the support for the LM_bus and PCI bus. I am not using either

LM bus or PCI for the USB but Xtensa is using Platform bus, So I tried to use the same.

Hi all !
I am working on writing a generic system call handler, which can intercept (almost) all linux system calls. I have already written a simple module which intercepts chdir() system call. But, the thing is it doesn't sounds like a good idea to write separate function for each system call. So, I am trying to write a generic function which can intercept all the system calls.

my requirement is as follows.

I want disable preemption on all cpus. and then call a function

with on_each_cpu(preempt_disable, NULL, 1, 1); call I dont think it will work.

is there a way to achieve it ?

I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with...

I have an NFS server/client setup. On the server side, I export a romfs filesystem to the NFS. The client computers boot via PXE bootloader and mount their root filesystem via NFS, using tempfs/unionfs to make parts of the filesystem read/write (i.e., /etc, /var, etc)

Hi,

I´m looking for this kernel messages. I would like to know how resolve this problem. Please help me. :)
My system is: CentOS 5.4 - kernel version 2.6.18-164.el5PAE
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
eth0: Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

Im' trying to upgrade a Linux kernel from 2.6.18 to 2.6.30.
The machine is a HP Proliant with Intel Xeon processor double six core. The 2.6.18 kernel work fine.

When booting with the 2.6.30, the kernel can not identify more than 8 CPU and i get this message :

checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#8]: passed.

And the kernel could not boot.
Please can you help me with this

In older kernels, GDT is set in arch/i386/kernel/head.S. Now, in newer kernels everything moved to arch/x86, bud in arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S i can't find where is GDT set. I mean something like


.quad 0x0000000000000000 /* NULL descriptor */
.quad 0x0000000000000000 /* not used */
