2011-05-02timerfd: Allow timers to be cancelled when clock was setThomas Gleixner
Some applications must be aware of clock realtime being set backward. A simple example is a clock applet which arms a timer for the next minute display. If clock realtime is set backward then the applet displays a stale time for the amount of time which the clock was set backwards. Due to that applications poll the time because we don't have an interface. Extend the timerfd interface by adding a flag which puts the timer onto a different internal realtime clock. All timers on this clock are expired whenever the clock was set. The timerfd core records the monotonic offset when the timer is created. When the timer is armed, then the current offset is compared to the previous recorded offset. When it has changed, then timerfd_settime returns -ECANCELED. When a timer is read the offset is compared and if it changed -ECANCELED returned to user space. Periodic timers are not rearmed in the cancelation case.

2011-05-01i2c-i801: Move device ID definitions to driverJean Delvare
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.

2011-04-29ftrace: Remove FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flagSteven Rostedt
Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag is pointless. The FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag was used to denote records that were successfully converted from mcount calls into nops. But if a single record fails, all of ftrace is disabled.

This patch (as1459) updates the documentation for the pre_reset method in struct usb_driver. When a driver is notified of an impending reset, it must cancel all outstanding I/O and not start any new I/O until it has been notified that the reset is complete.

2011-04-29ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned dataDavid Decotigny
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

2011-04-29perf events: Add generic front-end and back-end stalled cycle event definitionsIngo Molnar
Add two generic hardware events: front-end and back-end stalled cycles. These events measure conditions when the CPU is executing code but its capabilities are not fully utilized. Understanding such situations and analyzing them is an important sub-task of code optimization workflows. Both events limit performance: most front end stalls tend to be caused by branch misprediction or instruction fetch cachemisses, backend stalls can be caused by various resource shortages or inefficient instruction scheduling. Front-end stalls are the more important ones: code cannot run fast if the instruction stream is not being kept up. An over-utilized back-end can cause front-end stalls and thus has to be kept an eye on as well. The exact composition is very program logic and instruction mix dependent. We use the terms 'stall', 'front-end' and 'back-end' loosely and try to use the best available events from specific CPUs that approximate these concepts.

2011-04-28inet: add RCU protection to inet->optEric Dumazet
We lack proper synchronization to manipulate inet->opt ip_options Problem is ip_make_skb() calls ip_setup_cork() and ip_setup_cork() possibly makes a copy of ipc->opt (struct ip_options), without any protection against another thread manipulating inet->opt. Another thread can change inet->opt pointer and free old one under us. Use RCU to protect inet->opt (changed to inet->inet_opt). Instead of handling atomic refcounts, just copy ip_options when necessary, to avoid cache line dirtying. We cant insert an rcu_head in struct ip_options since its included in skb->cb[], so this patch is large because I had to introduce a new ip_options_rcu structure.

2011-04-28mm: thp: fix /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE and vm_flags cleanupsAndrea Arcangeli
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.

2011-04-28signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()Oleg Nesterov
In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least can lead to the unexpected results. For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc. kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask() and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle this pending shared signal. I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up. This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask. We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is cheap unless mask & shared_pending. Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will have more callers and some of them can't restart.

EAX : BPF A accumulator EBX : BPF X accumulator RDI : pointer to skb (first argument given to JIT function) RBP : frame pointer (even if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n) r9d : skb->len - skb->data_len (headlen) r8 : skb->data To get a trace of generated code, use : echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable Example of generated code : # tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24 flen=18 proglen=147 pass=3 image=ffffffffa00b5000 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5000: 55 48 89 e5 48 83 ec 60 48 89 5d f8 44 8b 4f 60 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5010: 44 2b 4f 64 4c 8b 87 b8 00 00 00 be 0c 00 00 00 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5020: e8 24 7b f7 e0 3d 00 08 00 00 75 28 be 1a 00 00 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5030: 00 e8 fe 7a f7 e0 24 00 3d 00 14 a8 c0 74 49 be JIT code: ffffffffa00b5040: 1e 00 00 00 e8 eb 7a f7 e0 24 00 3d 00 14 a8 c0 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5050: 74 36 eb 3b 3d 06 08 00 00 74 07 3d 35 80 00 00 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5060: 75 2d be 1c 00 00 00 e8 c8 7a f7 e0 24 00 3d 00 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5070: 14 a8 c0 74 13 be 26 00 00 00 e8 b5 7a f7 e0 24 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5080: 00 3d 00 14 a8 c0 75 07 b8 ff ff 00 00 eb 02 31 JIT code: ffffffffa00b5090: c0 c9 c3 BPF program is 144 bytes long, so native program is almost same size ;) (000) ldh [12] (001) jeq #0x800 jt 2 jf 8 (002) ld [26] (003) and #0xffffff00 (004) jeq #0xc0a81400 jt 16 jf 5 (005) ld [30] (006) and #0xffffff00 (007) jeq #0xc0a81400 jt 16 jf 17 (008) jeq #0x806 jt 10 jf 9 (009) jeq #0x8035 jt 10 jf 17 (010) ld [28] (011) and #0xffffff00 (012) jeq #0xc0a81400 jt 16 jf 13 (013) ld [38] (014) and #0xffffff00 (015) jeq #0xc0a81400 jt 16 jf 17 (016) ret #65535 (017) ret #0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Cc: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-28drm: Export the command-line mode parserChris Wilson
In the absence of configuration data for providing the fixed mode for a panel, I would like to be able to pass such modes along a separate module paramenter. To do so, I then need to parse a modeline from a string, which drm is already capable of. Export that capability to the drivers.
