15 years agoMake %p print '(null)' for NULL pointers
Linus Torvalds [Sat, 3 Jan 2009 19:46:17 +0000 (11:46 -0800)] 
Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointers

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.

However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging.  And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL.  Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.

This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

Enable multiple instances of devpts

To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.

But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:

- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts

To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:

$ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
$ umount /dev/pts
$ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
$ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
$ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234

where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.

USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
  space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
