2013-03-15all: import netsniff-ng 0.5.8-rc0 sourceDaniel Borkmann1-0/+4
We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for several reasons: *) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body. We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches or pull them manually. *) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason. This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore. The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

binfmt_elf: use vmalloc() for allocation of vma_filesz
We have observed page allocations failures of order 4 during core dump while trying to allocate vma_filesz. This results in a useless core file of size 0. To improve reliability use vmalloc(). Note that the vmalloc() allocation is bounded by sysctl_max_map_count, which is 65,530 by default. So with a 4k page size, and 8 bytes per seg, this is a max of 128 pages or an order 7 allocation. Other parts of the core dump path, such as fill_files_note() are already using vmalloc() for presumably similar reasons.
