* [PATCH] isdn: work around excessive udelay()Andrew Morton2006-10-021-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6970, ISDN can issue excessively-long udelays, which triggers a build-time error on ARM. This is very sucky of ISDN, but I doubt if anyone is going to suddenly fix it. So change the macro to do the microsecond counting itself.

* [PATCH] Linux Kernel Dump Test ModuleAnkita Garg2006-10-023-1/+358
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism. This module uses jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points. At different crash points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(), panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow. The user can activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the time of module insertion. Please see the file header for usage information. The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>. This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of tasklet_action().

* [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portableAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2006-10-0210-8/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike2006-10-0257-62/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

* [PATCH] vt: Make vt_pid a struct pid (making it pid wrap around safe).Eric W. Biederman2006-10-023-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily dropped. Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs. Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the struct pid * pointer instead. Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong signal. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This patch does several things. - The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h - A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values. - Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.

After all of the users have been update it is my intention to remove the variants that take a pid_t as using pid_t can be more work (an extra hash table lookup) and difficult to get right in the presence of multiple pid namespaces. There are two kinds of functions introduced in this patch. The are the general use functions kill_pgrp and kill_pid which take a priv argument that is ultimately used to create the appropriate siginfo information, Then there are _kill_pgrp_info, kill_pgrp_info, kill_pid_info the internal implementation helpers that take an explicit siginfo.

* [PATCH] pid: implement access helpers for a tacks various process groupsEric W. Biederman2006-10-021-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the last round of cleaning up the pid hash table a more general struct pid was introduced, that can be referenced counted. With the more general struct pid most if not all places where we store a pid_t we can now store a struct pid * and remove the need for a hash table lookup, and avoid any possible problems with pid roll over. Looking forward to the pid namespaces struct pid * gives us an absolute form a pid so we can compare and use them without caring which pid namespace we are in. This patchset introduces the infrastructure needed to use struct pid instead of pid_t, and then it goes on to convert two different kernel users that currently store a pid_t value. There are a lot more places to go but this is enough to get the basic idea. Before we can merge a pid namespace patch all of the kernel pid_t users need to be examined. Those that deal with user space processes need to be converted to using a struct pid *. Those that deal with kernel processes need to converted to using the kthread api. A rare few that only use their current processes pid values get to be left alone. This patch: task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session. task_pgrp returns the struct pid of a tasks process group. task_tgid returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group. task_pid returns the struct pid of a tasks process id. These can be used to avoid unnecessary hash table lookups, and to implement safe pid comparisions in the face of a pid namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all happens in on system call. This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed while reading the directory entry will be returned. For directory that are either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them. Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen. These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and more importantly that user space expects. Plus it is a simple semantic to implement reliable service. It is just a matter of calling readdir a second time if you are wondering if something new has show up. These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset. The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm. Given that a typical cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids. There are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space. A typical system will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable. If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be sufficient. In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than what we are doing now. Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed. It is possible to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the thread of it's thread group leader. This patch carefully handles that case so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the de_thread dance.

* [PATCH] list module taint flags in Oops/panicRandy Dunlap2006-10-022-3/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When listing loaded modules during an oops or panic, also list each module's Tainted flags if non-zero (P: Proprietary or F: Forced load only). If a module is did not taint the kernel, it is just listed like usbcore but if it did taint the kernel, it is listed like wizmodem(PF) Example: [ 3260.121718] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: [ 3260.121729] [<ffffffff8804c099>] :dump_test:proc_dump_test+0x99/0xc8 [ 3260.121742] PGD fe8d067 PUD 264a6067 PMD 0 [ 3260.121748] Oops: 0002 [1] SMP [ 3260.121753] CPU 1 [ 3260.121756] Modules linked in: dump_test(P) snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_seq snd_seq_device ide_cd generic ohci1394 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_pcm snd_timer snd ieee1394 snd_page_alloc piix ide_core arcmsr aic79xx scsi_transport_spi usblp [ 3260.121785] Pid: 5556, comm: bash Tainted: P 2.6.18-git10 #1 [Alternatively, I can look into listing tainted flags with 'lsmod', but that won't help in oopsen/panics so much.] [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The test for the error from pcmcia_replace_cis() was incorrect, and would always trigger (because if an error didn't happen, the "ret" value would not be zero, it would be the passed-in count). Reported and debugged by Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> Rather than just fix the single broken test, make the code in question use an understandable code-sequence instead, fixing the whole function to be more readable.
