2011-05-11memory hotplug: Speed up add/remove when blocks are larger than ↵Anton Blanchard
PAGES_PER_SECTION On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to memory_section_action. This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB region takes: # time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state 7.9s This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail part way through. The same test to offline one region now takes: # time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state 0.67s Over 11 times faster.

2011-05-06reboot: disable usermodehelper to prevent fs accessKay Sievers
In case CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is not set to "", which it should be on every system, the kernel forks processes during shutdown, which try to access the rootfs, even when the binary does not exist. It causes exceptions and long delays in the disk driver, which gets read requests at the time it tries to shut down the disk. This patch disables all kernel-forked processes during reboot to allow a clean poweroff.

2011-04-29driver: Google Memory ConsoleMike Waychison
This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver. Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines as to what the firmware is doing. The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in the file /sys/firmware/log.

2011-04-29driver: Google EFI SMIMike Waychison
The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for accessing hardware. Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information. Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used. This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various limitations over time, but all are included herein. This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in gsmi_system_valid().

2011-04-22drivers:misc:ti-st: handle delayed tty receivePavan Savoy
When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered. This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered. This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which bluetooth would have unregistered from the system. OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt data coming in after the driver is unregistered.

2011-04-18proc: do proper range check on readdir offsetLinus Torvalds
Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related functions, check that the offset is in range up-front. This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-04-18next_pidmap: fix overflow conditionLinus Torvalds
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow). [ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ] Reported-by: Tavis Ormandy <taviso@cmpxchg8b.com> Analyzed-by: Robert Święcki <robert@swiecki.net> Cc: Eric W.

2011-04-18Input: xen-kbdfront - fix mouse getting stuck after save/restoreIgor Mammedov
Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working condition. If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get into user-space. Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of 5ea5254aa0ad269cfbd2875c973ef25ab5b5e9db ("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates"). Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254.
