2008-02-01Suspend: Invoke suspend notifications after console switchJohannes Berg
In order to fix APM emulation it is necessary to enable apm-emulation notifications for suspends triggered in various ways via the suspend notifiers. However, this will cause the systems using APM emulation to lock up between X being needed to switch away from the VT and X already waiting for resume in the APM ioctl. This patch moves the console switch (if enabled) before the suspend notification (and after the resume notification) to avoid this issue.

2008-02-01Suspend: Introduce begin() and end() callbacksRafael J. Wysocki
On ACPI systems the target state set by acpi_pm_set_target() is reset by acpi_pm_finish(), but that need not be called if the suspend fails.  All platforms that use the .set_target() global suspend callback are affected by analogous issues. For this reason, we need an additional global suspend callback that will reset the target state regardless of whether or not the suspend is successful.  Also, it is reasonable to rename the .set_target() callback, since it will be used for a different purpose on ACPI systems (due to ACPI 1.0x code ordering requirements). Introduce the global suspend callback .end() to be executed at the end of the suspend sequence and rename the .set_target() global suspend callback to .begin(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

When trying to debug a suspend failure I started implementing PM_TRACE for powerpc. I then noticed that I'm debugging a suspend failure and so PM_TRACE isn't useful at all, but thought that nonetheless this could be useful in the future.

Make it possible to test the hibernation core code with the help of the /sys/power/pm_test attribute introduced for suspend testing in the previous patch. Writing an appropriate string to this file causes the hibernation code to work in one of the test modes defined as follows: freezer - test the freezing of processes devices - test the freezing of processes and suspending of devices platform - test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices and platform global   control methods(*) processors - test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global   control methods(*) and the disabling of nonboot CPUs core - test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global   control methods(*), the disabling of nonboot CPUs and suspending of   platform/system devices (*) - the platform global control methods are only available on ACPI systems       and are only tested if the hibernation mode is set to "platform" Then, if a hibernation is started by normal means, the hibernation core will perform its normal operations up to the point indicated by given test level. Next, it will wait for 5 seconds and carry out the resume operations needed to transition the system back to the fully functional state. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Writing "none" to /sys/power/pm_test turns the testing off. When open for reading, /sys/power/pm_test contains a space-separated list of all available tests (including "none" that represents the normal functionality) in which the current test level is indicated by square brackets.

2008-02-01[AUDIT] include audit type in audit message when using printkEric Paris
Currently audit drops the audit type when an audit message goes through printk instead of the audit deamon. This is a minor annoyance in that the audit type is no longer part of the message and the information the audit type conveys needs to be carried in, or derived from the message data. The attached patch includes the type number as part of the printk. Admittedly it isn't the type name that the audit deamon provides but I think this is better than dropping the type completely.

2008-02-01futex: Add bitset conditional wait/wakeup functionalityThomas Gleixner
To allow the implementation of optimized rw-locks in user space, glibc needs a possibility to select waiters for wakeup depending on a bitset mask. This requires two new futex OPs: FUTEX_WAIT_BITS and FUTEX_WAKE_BITS These OPs are basically the same as FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE plus an additional argument - a bitset. Further the FUTEX_WAIT_BITS OP is expecting an absolute timeout value instead of the relative one, which is used for the FUTEX_WAIT OP. FUTEX_WAIT_BITS calls into the kernel with a bitset. The bitset is stored in the futex_q structure, which is used to enqueue the waiter into the hashed futex waitqueue. FUTEX_WAKE_BITS also calls into the kernel with a bitset. The wakeup function logically ANDs the bitset with the bitset stored in each waiters futex_q structure. If the result is zero (i.e. none of the set bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is not woken up. If the result is not zero (i.e. one of the set bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is woken. The bitset provided by the caller must be non zero. In case the provided bitset is zero the kernel returns EINVAL. Internaly the new OPs are only extensions to the existing FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE functions. The existing OPs hand a bitset with all bits set into the futex_wait() and futex_wake() functions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tgxl@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-02-01futex: Remove warn on in return fixup pathThomas Gleixner
The WARN_ON() in the fixup return path of futex_lock_pi() can trigger with false positives. The following scenario happens: t1 holds the futex and t2 and t3 are blocked on the kernel side rt_mutex. t1 releases the futex (and the rt_mutex) and assigned t2 to be the next owner of the futex. t2 is interrupted and returns w/o acquiring the rt_mutex, before t1 can release the rtmutex. t1 releases the rtmutex and t3 becomes the pending owner of the rtmutex. t2 notices that it is the designated owner (user space variable) and fails to acquire the rt_mutex via trylock, because it is not allowed to steal the rt_mutex from t3. Now it looks at the rt_mutex pending owner (t3) and assigns the futex and the pi_state to it. During the fixup t4 steals the rtmutex from t3. t2 returns from the fixup and the owner of the rt_mutex has changed from t3 to t4. There is no need to do another round of fixups from t2. The important part (t2 is not returning as the user space visible owner) is done. The further fixups are done, before either t3 or t4 return to user space. For the user space it is not relevant which task (t3 or t4) is the real owner, as long as those are both in the kernel, which is guaranteed by the serialization of the hash bucket lock. Both tasks (which ever returns first to userspace - t4 because it locked the rt_mutex or t3 due to a signal) are going through the lock_futex_pi() return path where the ownership is fixed before the return to user space.
