[PATCH 0/5] A config option to compile out some namespaces code (v2)

[PATCH 0/5] A config option to compile out some namespaces code (v2)

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Changes from v1:
* make the NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL selectable even in !EMBEDDED case

There were some questions like "do I need this on my cellphone"
in reply to different namespaces patches. Indeed, the namespaces
are not useful for most of the embedded systems, but the code
creating and releasing them weights a lot.

So I propose to add a config option which will help embedded
people to reduce the vmlinux size. This option simply compiles
out the namespaces cloning and releasing code *only*, but keeps
all the other logic untouched (e.g. the notion of init_ns).

When someone tries to clone some namespace with their support
turned off, he will receive an EINVAL error.

This patchset can save more than 2KB from the vmlinux when
turning the config option "NAMESPACES" to "n":

[PATCH 1/5] The config option itself

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The option is called NAMESPACES. It can be selectable only
if EMBEDDED is chosen (this was Eric's requisition). When
the EMBEDDED is off namespaces will be on automatically.

One more option (NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL) was added by 
Serge's request to move there all the namespaces that are 
not finished yet. Currently only the user and the network
namespaces are such. This option is selectable all the
time NAMESPACES are "y" regardless of EMBEDDED one.

[PATCH 2/5] Move the UST namespace under the option

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Currently all the namespace management code is in the
kernel/utsname.c file, so just compile it out and make
stub in .h file.

The init namespace itself is in init/version.c and is
left in the kernel.

[PATCH 3/5] Move the IPC namespace under the option

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Currently all the IPC namespace management code is in 
ipc/util.c. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file
which is compiled out when needed.

The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the
prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs
for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub
for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knoweledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h
file itself in included into many many .c files via the
sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will
make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good.
On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff 
is required in 4 .c files only.

Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions
from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that
moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy
because they use many other calls and macros from the original
file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the
other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I
will make it separately a bit later.

[PATCH 4/5] Move the user namespace under the option

[Pavel Emelyanov]

We currently have a CONFIG_USER_NS option. Just rename it 
into CONFIG_NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL and move the init_user_ns
into user.c file to make the kernel compile and work without 
the namespaces support.

[PATCH 5/5] Move the PID namespace under the option

[Pavel Emelyanov]

For the same reasons as with the IPC namespaces, all the
prototypes and stuns go to the pid_namespace.h file. The
namespace management code itself is moved to the
pid_namespace.c file.

The pid_namespace cache is created inside an initcall,
i.e. a bit later than the pid hash is initialized. This
is OK for now - no code in kernel tries to clone new
pid namespaces before boot.

The zap_pid_namespace() function is expanded into a
BUG() when NAMESPACES is "n". This is normal as exiting
the init namespace (the only namespace in this case)
causes a panic() in exit_child_reaper() function anyway.

[PATCH 0/5] A config option to compile out some namespaces code (v3)

[Pavel Emelyanov]

There were some questions like "do I need this on my cellphone"
in reply to different namespaces patches. Indeed, the namespaces
are not useful for most of the embedded systems, but the code
creating and releasing them weights a lot.

So I propose to add a config option which will help embedded
people to reduce the vmlinux size. This option simply compiles
out the namespaces cloning and releasing code *only*, but keeps
all the other logic untouched (e.g. the notion of init_ns).

When someone tries to clone some namespace with their support
turned off, he will receive an EINVAL error.

This patchset can save more than 2KB from the vmlinux when
turning the config option "NAMESPACES" to "n".

I do not introduce the NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL config option, that
switches all the namespaces we consider experimental, but each 
namespace has its own config that can be mrked with "depends on
EXPERIMENTAL" on demand.

This is mainly done because some people consider pid namespaces broken
ant will probably want to make them depend on BROKEN. In this case
we'll have to introduce the NAMESPACES_BROKEN option which is not that
good.

[PATCH 1/5] The config option itself

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The option is called NAMESPACES. It can be selectable only
if EMBEDDED is chosen (this was Eric's requisition). When
the EMBEDDED is off namespaces will be on automatically.

and when EMBEDDED is on, it looks like NAMESPACES will be off
automatically (but user-changeable)?  Is that intended?

Yes. The namespaces are likely not needed on cell-phones or similar,
but if the user does want them - he may turn them on.

This was one of Eric's wishes to give only the embedded people the
choice.

I'm thinking that Eric's pidns-place-under-config_experimental.patch is for
2.6.24, so I attempted to rework your patches atop that but gave up on the
last one.

So if we're agreeeable, can you please redo these against next -mm, thanks.

Also, please do put a little thought into the choice of patch subjects. 
"the config option itself" will look rather dopey if it goes into the
permanent kernel record under that name.

Probably putting "CONFIG_NAMESPACES: " in front of each of these would
suit.

There were some questions like "do I need this on my cellphone"

[PATCH 1/5] The config option itself

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The option is called NAMESPACES. It can be selectable only
if EMBEDDED is chosen (this was Eric's requisition). When
the EMBEDDED is off namespaces will be on automatically.

One more option (NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL) was added by 
Serge's request to move there all the namespaces that are 
not finished yet. Currently only the user and the network
namespaces are such.

and when EMBEDDED is on, namespaces will be off automatically,
until it is enabled?  Is that what you want?  (It's OK by me.)

Same way for NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL.

Hi Pavel,

Overall this patchset looks good.

However the NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL option should not have the
'if EMBEDDED', right?  This is about EXPERIMENTAL, not about
EMBEDDED, unlike the plain NAMESPACES option.

Actually that doesn't seem to work either.  Even though
SECURITY_NAMESPACES=y, the config system seems to infer that
since NAMESPACES is not user-selectable, NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL
shouldn't be either.  So we end up with NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL
being on and not un-selectable if !EMBEDDED.

Yes. Given that NAMESPACES depends on EMBEDDED, NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL
can simply depend on NAMESPACES and EXPERIMENTAL with a default of N.

BTW, does the position of 'config NAMESPACES' in init/Kconfig file
matter ?  If it is dependent on EMBEDDED, should it not come later
in the file, after 'config EMBEDDED' ?

Nope. The intention is that the NAMESPACES and NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL
must not be selectable if EMBEDDED=n, but if we make NS_EXPERIMENTAL
depend on NAMESPACES only we'll have to make a choice in !EMBEDDED.

No, Eric wanted NAMESPACES to only be unselecteable if EMBEDDED=y, but
NAMESPACES_EXPERIMENTAL should always be unselectable.  If current
config logic can't do that then we should forget about the EMBEDDED
requirement altogether.

The rest of this patchset looks great.  Thanks, Pavel.
