similar to: [PATCH v2 0/4] Support drop directories directly from kinit

Add support for scandir() and alphasort() as defined in POSIX.1-2008.

This patchset applies to klibc mainline. This patchset introduces the ability to kinit to execute scripts or executable files present in in the initramfs before switching over to the root filesystem. This functionality is implemented in a newly introduced run_parts() call, which calls scandir() to iterate through files which in then executes in sequence. run_parts() is also available as a

Following mail advice from maximilian attems (thanks). The following patch changes 2 parts of kinit's command line parameter handling. 1) Parse command line parameters passed to kinit *before* /proc/cmdline, in order to allow overrides 2) Pass this resultant command line to the init program, rather than forcing the kinit caller to pass all /proc/cmdline parameters to the kinit call.

A patch for a few more hiccups and trivialities in kinit.c: * The check_path() calls check for "/root" and "/old_root" - I believe that should be "/root" and "/root/old_root". * chdir("/") is recommended after pivot_root() * init_argv[0] isn't set properly to the basename pointed to by char *s - this fix also eliminates six lines of

This patch adds the ability to kinit to allow the dropping of POSIX capabilities. kinit is modified by this change, such that it understands the new kernel command line "drop_capabilities=" that specifies a comma separated list of capability names that should be dropped before switching over to the next init in the boot strap (typically on the root disk). When processing capabilities

Building on the work in ff0a614bd724f6c4c6a5014a9955dc1bc028f336, this moves the capability code down into the run-init library, so that run-init can use it as well, via the new "-d" flag.

This patchset applies to klibc mainline. As is it will probably collide with Maximilian's recent patch to rename run-init to switch_root posted last week. To boot an untrusted environment with certain capabilities locked out, we'd like to be able to drop the capabilities up front from early userspace, before we actually transition onto the root volume. This patchset implements this by

Hello, These are implementations of strverscmp, scandir, alphasort and versionsort, and some test cases for them. I know these aren't in POSIX, but they're useful, nonetheless, and someone else might be interested in them.

initramfs-tools wants to validate the real init program before running it, as there is no way out once it has exec'd run-init. This is complicated by the increasing use of symlinks for /sbin/init and for /sbin itself. We can't simply resolve them with 'readlink -f' because any absolute symlinks will be resolved using the wrong root. Add a dry-run mode (-n option) to run-init

remove 'NFS-Root' from an error message, and get rid of the old_root check, as it's unused and fails if the target filesystem is mounted 'ro' for no good reason. --- kinit.c 2006-03-21 23:48:15.000000000 -0600 +++ kinit.c 2006-03-22 01:09:39.000000000 -0600 @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ } } else if (!S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) { - fprintf(stderr, "NFS-Root:

Hi, I noticed that brctl (or more accurately, libbridge) is using the wrong path when doing various lookups in sysfs: e.g. /sys/class/net/brXXX/stp_state when it should use /sys/class/net/brXXX/bridge/stp_state. This doesn't cause any problems on most systems as it falls back to the ioctl when the sysfs attempt fails; however the ioctl method is apparently deprecated. I believe the

Move the OCaml binding to C _exit to an own module.

For our platforms, we'd like to embed several different userland scripts / programs that are executed before we have mounted the root filesystem as part of the initramfs payload. Specifically, I'd like to have multiple scripts executed before do_mounts(), so I coded up this simple do_initscripts function that executes all executables found in /etc/init.d in alphabetically sorted order. I

Would a patch to ogg123 for using scandir(3) and alphasort(3) instead of opendir(3) and readdir(3) in playlist_append_directory() be accepted, or are those not sufficiently portable? On Linux, _SVID_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE is required to use them. This shouldn't be hard to implement and I'd like very much to have directories added to the playlist in sorted order.

Why does ZFS report such small directory sizes? For example, take a maildir directory with ten entries: total 2385 drwx------ 8 17121 vmail 10 Jun 8 23:50 . drwx--x--x 14 root root 14 May 12 2006 .. drwx------ 5 17121 vmail 5 May 25 18:16 .Trash drwx------ 5 17121 staff 6 Jun 9 00:01 .testing -rw------- 1 17121 staff 0 Jun

systemd supports switching back to the initramfs during shutdown in order to make it easier to clean up the root file system. This is desirable in order to allow us to remove keys from RAM before rebooting, making it harder to obtain confidential information by rebooting into an environment that scrapes RAM contents. --- debian/changelog | 4 +

Hi all, the commands "btrfs filesystem show" and "btrfs device scan" look at the /dev directory (and it subdirectories) for every block devices. This is a slow process because floppy and cdrom are also checked. Moreover, as highlighted by Helmut, if udev is not used, the /dev directory is populated by high number of non-existant devices, which slow the process. My patch

On a train ride to Bruxelles, brought out my axe and directly attacked run_init(8). run_init(8) is dead, long live switch_root(8). The next run on switch_root(8) involves fdopendir, so another push for the upcoming stdio 1.6 branch. The following is boot tested with initramfs-tools, kinit(8) tests would very much be appreciated!? Michal Suchanek (1): [klibc] switch_root: Fix single file
