2006-10-01[PATCH] csa: convert CONFIG tag for extended accounting routinesJay Lan
There were a few accounting data/macros that are used in CSA but are #ifdef'ed inside CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT. This patch is to change those ifdef's from CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT to CONFIG_TASK_XACCT. A few defines are moved from kernel/acct.c and include/linux/acct.h to kernel/tsacct.c and include/linux/tsacct_kern.h.

2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: avoidance to refer the last thread as a representation of the ↵KaiGai Kohei
process When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any other task_structs are ignored. Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this process has called execve() after fork(). We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode is not the group leader's one.
2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: add pacct_struct to fix some pacct bugs.KaiGai Kohei
The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is generated. There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up. If OOM killer is activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory regions. But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory. In the results, any processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.

2005-11-08[PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umountAl Viro
The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off) b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics. The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of reference to vfsmount. Semantics: - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done. - normal reference can be cloned into a special one - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e. mntput() had converted special references to normal and started cleanup). The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no normal references are left. That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2) and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. Which is exactly what we want... The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone. quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all. DQUOT_OFF() is done from deactivate_super(), where it really belongs. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-10-15[PATCH] Fix copy-and-paste error in BSD accountingTim Schmielau
Fix copy and paste error in jiffies_to_AHZ conversion which leads to wrong BSD accounting information on alpha and ia64 when CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3 is turned on. Also update comment to match reorganised header files.

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!
