* x86, kaslr: boot-time selectable with hibernationKees Cook2014-06-161-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | Changes kASLR from being compile-time selectable (blocked by CONFIG_HIBERNATION), to being boot-time selectable (with hibernation available by default) via the "kaslr" kernel command line.

* PM / hibernate: introduce "nohibernate" boot parameterKees Cook2014-06-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | To support using kernel features that are not compatible with hibernation, this creates the "nohibernate" kernel boot parameter to disable both hibernation and resume. This allows hibernation support to be a boot-time choice instead of only a compile-time choice.

* | kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after ↵Masami Hiramatsu2014-06-071-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | panic_notifers Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure (memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?). Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option. Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump failure rather than increasing the chance of success.

* | init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameterPrarit Bhargava2014-06-051-0/+4

Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem. This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug. There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate. Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these scenarios. Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls> ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and the log contains: blacklisting initcall foo_bar blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init ... ... initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak printk text] Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Richard Weinberger <richard.weinberger@gmail.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org> Cc: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* | cma: add placement specifier for "cma=" kernel parameterAkinobu Mita2014-06-051-2/+5

We want to locate CMA below 4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems without iommu. This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel parameter. Examples: 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G" 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M" Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that page_address() works for the pages to allocate. So this change requires to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of dma_contiguous_reserve().

We have no major new features this time, but there are a few significant changes of how things work. The most visible one will probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID. That was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems going forward. We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual), but it's something to watch nevertheless. The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken Win8 BIOSes. We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy enough to revert if need be. In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met (generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy). However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain (used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today). Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x). The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases, cleanups and fixes all over the place. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424. That includes a number of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE handling, table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping, DSDT/SSDT overriding, and the Unload() operator. The acpidump utility from upstream ACPICA is included too. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box, David Binderman, and Colin Ian King. - Fixes and cleanups related to ACPI video and backlight interfaces from Hans de Goede. That includes blacklist entries for some new machines and using native backlight by default. - ACPI device enumeration changes to create platform devices rather than PNP devices for ACPI device objects with _HID by default. PNP devices will still be created for the ACPI device object with device IDs corresponding to real PNP devices, so that change should not break things left and right, and we're expecting to see more and more ACPI-enumerated platform devices in the future. From Zhang Rui and Rafael J Wysocki. - Updates for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver allowing it to handle system suspend/resume on Asus T100 correctly. From Heikki Krogerus and Rafael J Wysocki. - PM core update introducing a mechanism to allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume transitions if certain additional conditions related to coordination within device hierarchy are met. Related PM documentation update and ACPI PM domain support for the new feature. From Rafael J Wysocki. - Fixes and improvements related to the "freeze" sleep state. They affect several places including cpuidle, PM core, ACPI core, and the ACPI battery driver. From Rafael J Wysocki and Zhang Rui. - Miscellaneous fixes and updates of the ACPI core from Aaron Lu, Bjørn Mork, Hanjun Guo, Lan Tianyu, and Rafael J Wysocki. - Fixes and cleanups for the ACPI processor and ACPI PAD (Processor Aggregator Device) drivers from Baoquan He, Manuel Schölling, Tony Camuso, and Toshi Kani. - System suspend/resume optimization in the ACPI battery driver from Lan Tianyu. - OPP (Operating Performance Points) subsystem updates from Chander Kashyap, Mark Brown, and Nishanth Menon. - cpufreq core fixes, updates and cleanups from Srivatsa S Bhat, Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar. - Updates, fixes and cleanups for the Tegra, powernow-k8, imx6q, s5pv210, nforce2, and powernv cpufreq drivers from Brian Norris, Jingoo Han, Paul Bolle, Philipp Zabel, Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar. - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie, Doug Smythies, and Stratos Karafotis. - Enabling the big.LITTLE cpufreq driver on arm64 from Mark Brown. - Fix for the cpuidle menu governor from Chander Kashyap. - New ARM clps711x cpuidle driver from Alexander Shiyan. - Hibernate core fixes and cleanups from Chen Gang, Dan Carpenter, Fabian Frederick, Pali Rohár, and Sebastian Capella. - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) driver updates from Jacob Pan. - PNP subsystem updates from Bjorn Helgaas and Fabian Frederick. - devfreq core updates from Chanwoo Choi and Paul Bolle. - devfreq updates for exynos4 and exynos5 from Chanwoo Choi and Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz. - turbostat tool fix from Jean Delvare. - cpupower tool updates from Prarit Bhargava, Ramkumar Ramachandra and Thomas Renninger. - New ACPI ec_access.c tool for poking at the EC in a safe way from Thomas Renninger" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (187 commits) ACPICA: Namespace: Remove _PRP method support. intel_pstate: Improve initial busy calculation intel_pstate: add sample time scaling intel_pstate: Correct rounding in busy calculation intel_pstate: Remove C0 tracking PM / hibernate: fixed typo in comment ACPI: Fix x86 regression related to early mapping size limitation ACPICA: Tables: Add mechanism to control early table checksum verification.

This presents an inconsistent kernel interface to userspace, basically there are 2 different scenarios, depending on the laptop model: 1) On some laptops a brightness up/down keypress means: show a brightness osd with the current brightness, iow it is a brightness has changed notification. 2) Where as on (a lot of) other laptops it means a brightness up/down key was pressed, deal with it. Most of the desktop environments interpret any press as in scenario 2, and change the brightness up / down as a response to the key events, causing it to be changed twice, once by acpi-video and once by the DE. With the new default for video.use_native_backlight we will be moving even more laptops over to behaving as in scenario 2. Making the remaining laptops even more of a weird exception. Also note that it is hard to detect scenario 1 properly in userspace, and AFAIK none of the DE-s deals with it. Therefor this commit changes the default of brightness_switch_enabled to 0 making its behavior consistent with all the other backlight drivers.

The root cause is: 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping; 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO mappings. This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum verification can be easily re-enabled. A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad tables. This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.

| | | * ACPICA: Tables: Avoid SSDT installation with acpi_gbl_disable_ssdt_table_load.Lv Zheng2014-04-201-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is reported that when acpi_gbl_disable_ssdt_table_load is specified, user still can see it installed into /sys/firmware/acpi/tables on Linux boxes. This is because the option only stops table "loading", but doesn't stop table "installing", thus it is still in the acpi_gbl_root_table_list. With previous cleanups, it is possible to prevent SSDT installations to make it not such confusing. The global variable is also renamed. Lv Zheng.

However, some user space frameworks only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible. For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument, relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states. Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze" labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform. Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as "serialized" if the method creates any named objects. This will positively prevent the method from being entered by more than one thread and thus preventing a possible abort when an attempt is made to create an object twice. Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table load time. This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature to be turned on for a specific boot.

The parallel method calls can still happen when the interpreter lock is released under the following conditions: 1. External callbacks are invoked, for example, by the region handlers, the exception handlers, etc.; 2. Module level execution is performed when Load/LoadTable opcodes are executed, and 3. The _REG control methods are invoked to complete the region registrations. B. For the following situations, the interpreter lock need to be released even for a serialized method while currently, the lock-releasing operation is marked as a no-op by acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() when this mechanism is enabled: 1. Wait opcode is executed, 2. Acquire opcode is executed, and 3. Sleep opcode is executed. This patch removes this mechanism and the internal acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() APIs. Lv Zheng.

This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come. This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty. Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release. This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this cycle. An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.

There are a few relatively fresh commits in it, but they are mostly fixes and simple cleanups. ACPI took the lead this time, both in terms of the number of commits and the number of modified lines of code, cpufreq follows and there are a few changes in the PM core and in cpuidle too. A new feature that already got some LWN.net's attention is the device PM QoS extension allowing latency tolerance requirements to be propagated from leaf devices to their ancestors with hardware interfaces for specifying latency tolerance. That should help systems with hardware-driven power management to avoid going too far with it in cases when there are latency tolerance constraints. There also are some significant changes in the ACPI core related to the way in which hotplug notifications are handled. They affect PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) and the ACPI dock station code too. The bottom line is that all those notification now go through the root notify handler and are propagated to the interested subsystems by means of callbacks instead of having to install a notify handler for each device object that we can potentially get hotplug notifications for. In addition to that ACPICA will now advertise "Windows 2013" compatibility for _OSI, because some systems out there don't work correctly if that is not done (some of them don't even boot). On the system suspend side of things, all of the device suspend and resume callbacks, except for ->prepare() and ->complete(), are now going to be executed asynchronously as that turns out to speed up system suspend and resume on some platforms quite significantly and we have a few more optimizations in that area. Apart from that, there are some new device IDs and fixes and cleanups all over. In particular, the system suspend and resume handling by cpufreq should be improved and the cpuidle menu governor should be a bit more robust now. Specifics: - Device PM QoS support for latency tolerance constraints on systems with hardware interfaces allowing such constraints to be specified. That is necessary to prevent hardware-driven power management from becoming overly aggressive on some systems and to prevent power management features leading to excessive latencies from being used in some cases. - Consolidation of the handling of ACPI hotplug notifications for device objects. This causes all device hotplug notifications to go through the root notify handler (that was executed for all of them anyway before) that propagates them to individual subsystems, if necessary, by executing callbacks provided by those subsystems (those callbacks are associated with struct acpi_device objects during device enumeration). As a result, the code in question becomes both smaller in size and more straightforward and all of those changes should not affect users. - ACPICA update, including fixes related to the handling of _PRT in cases when it is broken and the addition of "Windows 2013" to the list of supported "features" for _OSI (which is necessary to support systems that work incorrectly or don't even boot without it).

| * | ACPICA: Add boot option to disable auto return object repairLv Zheng2014-02-131-0/+8
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes, there might be bugs caused by unexpected AML which is compliant to the Windows but not compliant to the Linux implementation. There is a predefined validation mechanism implemented in ACPICA to repair the unexpected AML evaluation results that are caused by the unexpected AMLs. For example, BIOS may return misorder _CST result and the repair mechanism can make an ascending order on the returned _CST package object based on the C-state type. This mechanism is quite useful to implement an AML interpreter with better compliance with the real world where Windows is the de-facto standard and BIOS codes are only tested on one platform thus not compliant to the ACPI specification. But if a compliance issue hasn't been figured out yet, it will be difficult for developers to identify if the unexpected evaluation result is caused by this mechanism or by the AML interpreter. For example, _PR0 is expected to be a control method, but BIOS may use Package: "Name(_PR0, Package(1) {P1PR})". This boot option can disable the predefined validation mechanism so that developers can make sure the root cause comes from the parser/executer. This patch adds a new kernel parameter to disable this feature. A build test has been made on a Dell Inspiron mini 1100 (i386 z530) machine when this patch is applied and the corresponding boot test is performed w/ or w/o the new kernel parameter specified.

Modules can only be loaded within a particular range of virtual address space. This patch adds 10 bits of entropy to the load address by adding 1-1024 * PAGE_SIZE to the beginning range where modules are loaded. The single base offset was chosen because randomizing each module load ends up wasting/fragmenting memory too much. Prior approaches to minimizing fragmentation while doing randomization tend to result in worse entropy than just doing a single base address offset. Example kASLR boot without this change, with a single module loaded: ---[ Modules ]--- 0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0001000 4K ro GLB x pte 0xffffffffc0001000-0xffffffffc0002000 4K ro GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc0002000-0xffffffffc0004000 8K RW GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc0004000-0xffffffffc0200000 2032K pte 0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffff000000 1006M pmd ---[ End Modules ]--- Example kASLR boot after this change, same module loaded: ---[ Modules ]--- 0xffffffffc0000000-0xffffffffc0200000 2M pmd 0xffffffffc0200000-0xffffffffc03bf000 1788K pte 0xffffffffc03bf000-0xffffffffc03c0000 4K ro GLB x pte 0xffffffffc03c0000-0xffffffffc03c1000 4K ro GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc03c1000-0xffffffffc03c3000 8K RW GLB NX pte 0xffffffffc03c3000-0xffffffffc0400000 244K pte 0xffffffffc0400000-0xffffffffff000000 1004M pmd ---[ End Modules ]--- Signed-off-by: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140226005916.GA27083@www.outflux.net Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: H.

They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as usual, with a couple of new features in the mix. The most visible change is probably that we will create struct acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that status via _STA. Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the acpi-cpufreq driver. Specifics: - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace scans regardless of the current status of that device. In accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away. - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects allowing user space to check device status by triggering the execution of _STA for its ACPI object. From Srinivas Pandruvada. - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug. - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices. - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218. This adds support for the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves debug facilities. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall. - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization earlier. That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.

This occurs because of the following sequence in the boot: Main kernel boots and sets E820 map. The second kernel is booted with a map generated by the kdump service using memmap= and memmap=exactmap. These parameters are added to the kernel parameters of the kexec/kdump kernel. The kexec/kdump kernel has limited memory resources so as not to severely impact the main kernel. The system then panics and the kdump/kexec kernel boots (which is a completely new kernel boot). During this boot ACPI is initialized and the kernel (as can be seen above) traverses the ACPI namespace and finds an entry for a memory device to be hotadded. ie) [<ffffffff815a1e9f>] __add_pages+0xaf/0x240 [<ffffffff81047359>] arch_add_memory+0x59/0xd0 [<ffffffff815a21d9>] add_memory+0xb9/0x1b0 [<ffffffff81333b9c>] acpi_memory_device_add+0x18d/0x26d [<ffffffff81309a01>] acpi_bus_device_attach+0x7d/0xcd [<ffffffff8132379d>] acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0xc8/0x17f [<ffffffff81309984>] ? acpi_bus_type_and_status+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff81309984>] ? acpi_bus_type_and_status+0x90/0x90 [<ffffffff81323c8c>] acpi_walk_namespace+0x95/0xc5 [<ffffffff8130a6d6>] acpi_bus_scan+0x8b/0x9d [<ffffffff81a2019a>] acpi_scan_init+0x63/0x160 [<ffffffff81a1ffb5>] acpi_init+0x25d/0x2a6 At this point the kernel adds page table information and the the kexec/kdump kernel runs out of memory. This can also be reproduced by using the memmap=exactmap and mem=X parameters on the main kernel and booting. This patchset resolves the problem by adding a kernel parameter, acpi_no_memhotplug, to disable ACPI memory hotplug.

Venturing out was fixing a couple of function prototypes which were inconsistent (didn't hurt anything, but we used the same value as an int, uint, u32, and I think even a long in a couple of places). We also made a couple of minor changes to when a couple of LSMs called the audit system. We hoped to add aarch64 audit support this go round, but it wasn't ready. I'm disappearing on vacation on Thursday. I should have internet access, but it'll be spotty. If anything goes wrong please be sure to cc rgb@redhat.com. He'll make fixing things his top priority" * git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit: (50 commits) audit: whitespace fix in kernel-parameters.txt audit: fix location of __net_initdata for audit_net_ops audit: remove pr_info for every network namespace audit: Modify a set of system calls in audit class definitions audit: Convert int limit uses to u32 audit: Use more current logging style audit: Use hex_byte_pack_upper audit: correct a type mismatch in audit_syscall_exit() audit: reorder AUDIT_TTY_SET arguments audit: rework AUDIT_TTY_SET to only grab spin_lock once audit: remove needless switch in AUDIT_SET audit: use define's for audit version audit: documentation of audit= kernel parameter audit: wait_for_auditd rework for readability audit: update MAINTAINERS audit: log task info on feature change audit: fix incorrect set of audit_sock audit: print error message when fail to create audit socket audit: fix dangling keywords in audit_log_set_loginuid() output audit: log on errors from filter user rules ...

| * | | audit: add kernel set-up parameter to override default backlog limitRichard Guy Briggs2014-01-141-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default audit_backlog_limit is 64. This was a reasonable limit at one time. systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of 2. On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available. On a system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that history until auditd is able to drain the queue. This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot. One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them. This would be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers. Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default based on the system type. An embedded system would get the current (or smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might get more. None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel. This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.
