This is removes the use of software prefetching from the regular list
iterators. We don't want it. If you do want to prefetch in some
iterator of yours, go right ahead. Just don't expect the iterator to do
it, since normally the downsides are bigger than the upsides.
It also replaces <linux/prefetch.h> with <linux/const.h>, because the
use of LIST_POISON ends up needing it. <linux/poison.h> is sadly not
self-contained, and including prefetch.h just happened to hide that.
Suggested by David Miller (networking has a lot of regular lists that
are often empty or a single entry, and prefetching is not going to do
anything but add useless instructions).

They not only increase the code footprint, they actually make things
slower rather than faster. On internationally acclaimed benchmarks
("make -j16" on an already fully built kernel source tree) the hlist
prefetching slows down the build by up to 1%.
(Almost all of it comes from hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() as used by
avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which is very hot due to all the pathname
lookups to see if there is anything to do).
The cause seems to be two-fold:
- on at least some Intel cores, prefetch(NULL) ends up with some
microarchitectural stall due to the TLB miss that it incurs. The
hlist case triggers this very commonly, since the NULL pointer is the
last entry in the list.
- the prefetch appears to cause more D$ activity, probably because it
prefetches hash list entries that are never actually used (because we
ended the search early due to a hit).
Regardless, the numbers clearly say that the implicit prefetching is
simply a bad idea. If some _particular_ user of the hlist iterators
wants to prefetch the next list entry, they can do so themselves
explicitly, rather than depend on all list iterators doing so
implicitly.

There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run
"git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my
experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems
worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function.
This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has
the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses
it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I
think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.

This patch places every exported symbol in its own section
(i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive
to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section
(i.e. "__ksymtab").
The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols.
To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary
section names.
This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.

Reorder structure kparam_array to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on
64 bit builds, dropping its size from 40 to 32 bytes.
Also update the macro module_param_array_named to initialise the
structure using its member names to allow it to be changed without
touching all its call sites.
'git grep' finds module_param_array in 1037 places so this patch will
save a small amount of data space across many modules.

On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to
align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary.
This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section
in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in
modules.
Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into
independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect
array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the
objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in
different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably
is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and
put those pointers in the special section.

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write
their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time.
Only write the result if the device matches.
In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery
failling.

FS_COW_FL and FS_NOCOW_FL were newly introduced to control per file
COW in btrfs, but FS_NOCOW_FL is sufficient.
The fact is we don't have corresponding BTRFS_INODE_COW flag.
COW is default, and FS_NOCOW_FL can be used to switch off COW for
a single file.
If we mount btrfs with nodatacow, a newly created file will be set with
the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. So to turn on COW for it, we can just clear the
FS_NOCOW_FL flag.

* fbmem:
fbmem: make read/write/ioctl use the frame buffer at open time
fbcon: add lifetime refcount to opened frame buffers
|
|
This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It
does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to
actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end
up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the
call.
Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a
framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a
fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame
buffer.
(The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems,
because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a
switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems
too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the
whole open-close sequence.)
This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu
11.04 boot sequence.

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with
down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack
and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too.
This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with
up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and
when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch.
[ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the
grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and
share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.

That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which
in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly.
I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a
padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can
just use this padding field.

The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.
That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.
And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.
This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.
This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.
[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove
the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ]

Move the SMBus device ID definitions of recent devices from pci_ids.h
to the i2c-i801.c driver file. They don't have to be shared, as they
are clearly identified and only used in this driver. In the future,
such IDs will go to i2c-i801 directly. This will make adding support
for new devices much faster and easier, as it will avoid cross-
subsystem patch sets and merge conflicts.

Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space
should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users
and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before
they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a

Resubmit interrupt URB if device is open. Use a flag set in
usbnet_open() to determine this state. Also kill and free
interrupt URB in usbnet_disconnect().

The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
(which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).
So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).
After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file
check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend
to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

Currently there is a race in the MMC core between a card-detect
rescan work and the clock-gating work, scheduled from a command
completion. Fix it by removing the dedicated clock-gating mutex
and using the MMC standard locking mechanism instead.

When readdir() returns a directory entry for the root of a mounted
filesystem, Linux follows the old convention of returning the inode
number of the covered directory (despite newer versions of POSIX declaring
that this is a bug).
To ensure this continues to work, the NFSv4 readdir implementation requests
the 'mounted-on-fileid' from the server.
However, readdirplus also needs to instantiate an inode for this entry, and
for that, we also need to request the real fileid as per this patch.

Now that the whole dcache_hash_bucket crap is gone, go all the way and
also remove the weird locking layering violations for locking the hash
buckets. Add hlist_bl_lock/unlock helpers to move the locking into the
list abstraction instead of requiring each caller to open code it.
After all allowing for the bit locks is the whole point of these helpers
over the plain hlist variant.

When we are waiting for the bit-lock to be released, and are looping
over the 'cpu_relax()' should not be doing anything else - otherwise we
miss the point of trying to do the whole 'cpu_relax()'.
Do the preemption enable/disable around the loop, rather than inside of
it.
Noticed when I was looking at the code generation for the dcache
__d_drop usage, and the code just looked very odd.

When a task is traced and is in a stopped state, the tracer
may execute a ptrace request to examine the tracee state and
get its task struct. Right after, the tracee can be killed
and thus its breakpoints released.
This can happen concurrently when the tracer is in the middle
of reading or modifying these breakpoints, leading to dereferencing
a freed pointer.
Hence, to prepare the fix, create a generic breakpoint reference
holding API. When a reference on the breakpoints of a task is
held, the breakpoints won't be released until the last reference
is dropped. After that, no more ptrace request on the task's
breakpoints can be serviced for the tracer.

On occasion, it is useful for the NFS layer to distinguish between
soft timeouts and other EIO errors due to (say) encoding errors,
or authentication errors.
The following patch ensures that the default behaviour of the RPC
layer remains to return EIO on soft timeouts (until we have
audited all the callers).

If a server for some reason keeps sending NFS4ERR_DELAY errors, we can end
up looping forever inside nfs4_proc_create_session, and so the usual
mechanisms for detecting if the nfs_client is dead don't work.
Fix this by ensuring that we loop inside the nfs4_state_manager thread
instead.
