* kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: Fix hostname pollingLinus Torvalds2022-10-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit bfca3dd3d068 ("kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: print kernel arch") added a new entry to the uts_kern_table[] array, but didn't update the UTS_PROC_xyz enumerators of older entries, breaking anything that used them. Which is admittedly not many cases: it's really just the two uses of uts_proc_notify() in kernel/sys.c. But apparently journald-systemd actually uses this to detect hostname changes.

* | utsname: contribute changes to RNGJason A. Donenfeld2022-09-291-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some small machines with little entropy, a quasi-unique hostname is sometimes a relevant factor. I've seen, for example, 8 character alpha-numeric serial numbers. In addition, the time at which the hostname is set is usually a decent measurement of how long early boot took. So, call add_device_randomness() on new hostnames, which feeds its arguments to the RNG in addition to a fresh cycle counter. Low cost hooks like this never hurt and can only ever help, and since this costs basically nothing for an operation that is never a fast path, this is an overall easy win.

* sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handlerChristoph Hellwig2020-04-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
