From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
There are 7 architecures with "config SECCOMP". They all have
virtually the same help text except for those referencing the
/proc interface which was removed in 2007.
There is *NOTHING* architecture-specific about SECCOMP except
that the syscalls have per-architecture definitions, like every
other syscall. It is absurd to have the option in the
arch-specific menus.
Move it to the security menu, consolidate the 7 down to one,
and remove the embarassingly-ancient references to the /proc
interface.

Initrd support takes up 8 lines of space in the general menu,
pushing down options like OProfile or the VM event counters.
Stick it in its own menu to trim it down.

This continues in a series of patches to clean up the
configuration menus. I believe they've become really hard to
navigate and there are some simple things we can do to make
things easier to find.
This creates a "Memory Options" menu and moves some things like
swap and slab configuration under them. It also moves SLUB_DEBUG
to the debugging menu.
After this patch, the menu has the following options:
[ ] Memory placement aware NUMA scheduler
[*] Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat
[ ] Disable heap randomization
[*] Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)
Choose SLAB allocator (SLUB (Unqueued Allocator))
[*] SLUB per cpu partial cache
[*] SLUB: attempt to use double-cmpxchg operations

@ 2014-01-02 20:20 ` Dave Hansen
0 siblings, 0 replies; 18+ messages in thread
From: Dave Hansen @ 2014-01-02 20:20 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-kernel; +Cc: Dave Hansen, linux-mm
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
This continues in a series of patches to clean up the
configuration menus. I believe they've become really hard to
navigate and there are some simple things we can do to make
things easier to find.
This creates a "Memory Options" menu and moves some things like
swap and slab configuration under them. It also moves SLUB_DEBUG
to the debugging menu.
After this patch, the menu has the following options:
[ ] Memory placement aware NUMA scheduler
[*] Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat
[ ] Disable heap randomization
[*] Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)
Choose SLAB allocator (SLUB (Unqueued Allocator))
[*] SLUB per cpu partial cache
[*] SLUB: attempt to use double-cmpxchg operations

Is there any reason to keep them in init/Kconfig rather than
mm/Kconfig? It would sound like a logical place to have them all, no?

Is there any reason to keep them in init/Kconfig rather than
mm/Kconfig? It would sound like a logical place to have them all, no?

These options are the memory-related ones that fall under the "General
setup" menu and the mm/Kconfig ones fall in to "Processor type and
features". I've been hesitant to move these over to mm/Kconfig just
because I don't want to put more stuff in the arch-specific menus.
You raise a good point, though, that there isn't a great logical
separation about what should go where. Things like zram and KSM end up
in "Processor type and features" when they're really pretty
architecture-neutral.

Hi Dave,
I haven't looked at the other 'CONFIG_HAVE' options, but shouldn't
'HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP' be dependent on 'SECCOMP'?

Ahh, you're backwards, but right. :)
I forgot to make sure that SECCOMP depends on the architecture option
being set. Fixed patch is attached.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
There are 7 architecures with "config SECCOMP". They all have
virtually the same help text except for those referencing the
/proc interface which was removed in 2007.
There is *NOTHING* architecture-specific about SECCOMP except
that the syscalls have per-architecture definitions, like every
other syscall. It is absurd to have the option in the
arch-specific menus.
Move it to the security menu, consolidate the 7 down to one,
and remove the embarassingly-ancient references to the /proc
interface.

You seem to have (mostly) lost the dependency some of the architecture
versions of config SECCOMP had on PROC_FS ...

I _believe_ the /proc interface has gone away. I can't find any
reference to /proc/<pid>/seccomp in any of the code. Is there some
/proc dependency that I'm missing outside of the removed
/proc/<pid>/seccomp interface?

I don't know, but if it has gone then it is worth mentioning in the
commit message ... and you did preserve the dependency in the sparc64
case.

I guess I could call it out a _bit_ more clearly that I removed the
dependency because the code is gone.
> ... and you did preserve the dependency in the sparc64 case.
Ahh, I did. I'll remove it. Thanks!

Changes from last version:
* Change one sentence in the existing SECCOMP description to be
the text that Ingo wants.
This continues in a series of patches to clean up the
configuration menus. I believe they've become really hard to
navigate and there are some simple things we can do to make
things easier to find.

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
There are 7 architecures with "config SECCOMP". They all have
virtually the same help text except for those referencing the
/proc interface. The /proc interface was removed in 2007.
There is *NOTHING* architecture-specific about SECCOMP except
that the syscalls have per-architecture definitions, like every
other syscall. It is absurd to have the option in the
arch-specific menus.
Move it to the security menu, consolidate the 7 down to one, and
remove the embarassingly-ancient help text references and
dependencies on /proc.
Note that this changes the generic help text in the new,
consolidated config option. We want to emphasize that this
feature is about all untrusted machine code, not just bytecode.
