2010-07-29kgdb: Do not access xtime directlyThomas Gleixner
The xtime cleanup missed the kgdb access to xtime. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2010-07-28fanotify: use both marks when possibleEric Paris
fanotify currently, when given a vfsmount_mark will look up (if it exists) the corresponding inode mark. This patch drops that lookup and uses the mark provided. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: pass both the vfsmount mark and inode markEric Paris
should_send_event() and handle_event() will both need to look up the inode event if they get a vfsmount event. Lets just pass both at the same time since we have them both after walking the lists in lockstep. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: remove group->maskEric Paris
group->mask is now useless. It was originally a shortcut for fsnotify to save on performance. These checks are now redundant, so we remove them. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: cleanup should_send_eventEric Paris
The change to use srcu and walk the object list rather than the global fsnotify_group list means that should_send_event is no longer needed for a number of groups and can be simplified for others. Do that. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28audit: use the mark in handler functionsEric Paris
audit now gets a mark in the should_send_event and handle_event functions. Rather than look up the mark themselves audit should just use the mark it was handed. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: send fsnotify_mark to groups in event handling functionsEric Paris
With the change of fsnotify to use srcu walking the marks list instead of walking the global groups list we now know the mark in question. The code can send the mark to the group's handling functions and the groups won't have to find those marks themselves. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: store struct file not struct pathEric Paris
Al explains that calling dentry_open() with a mnt/dentry pair is only garunteed to be safe if they are already used in an open struct file. To make sure this is the case don't store and use a struct path in fsnotify, always use a struct file. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28sysctl extern cleanup: inotifyDave Young
Extern declarations in sysctl.c should be move to their own head file, and then include them in relavant .c files. Move inotify_table extern declaration to linux/inotify.h Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Move dir_notify_enable declaration to where it belongs -- dnotify.h . Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: split generic and inode specific mark codeEric Paris
currently all marking is done by functions in inode-mark.c. Some of this is pretty generic and should be instead done in a generic function and we should only put the inode specific code in inode-mark.c Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: sys_fanotify_mark declartionEric Paris
This patch simply declares the new sys_fanotify_mark syscall int fanotify_mark(int fanotify_fd, unsigned int flags, u64_mask, int dfd const char *pathname) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fanotify: fanotify_init syscall declarationEric Paris
This patch defines a new syscall fanotify_init() of the form: int sys_fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags, unsigned int priority) This syscall is used to create and fanotify group. This is very similar to the inotify_init() syscall. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: take inode->i_lock inside fsnotify_find_mark_entry()Andreas Gruenbacher
All callers to fsnotify_find_mark_entry() except one take and release inode->i_lock around the call. Take the lock inside fsnotify_find_mark_entry() instead. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: rename fsnotify_find_mark_entry to fsnotify_find_markEric Paris
the _entry portion of fsnotify functions is useless. Drop it. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: rename fsnotify_mark_entry to just fsnotify_markEric Paris
The name is long and it serves no real purpose. So rename fsnotify_mark_entry to just fsnotify_mark. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: put inode specific fields in an fsnotify_mark in a unionEric Paris
The addition of marks on vfs mounts will be simplified if the inode specific parts of a mark and the vfsmnt specific parts of a mark are actually in a union so naming can be easy. This patch just implements the inode struct and the union. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: include vfsmount in should_send_event when appropriateEric Paris
To ensure that a group will not duplicate events when it receives it based on the vfsmount and the inode should_send_event test we should distinguish those two cases. We pass a vfsmount to this function so groups can make their own determinations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: drop mask argument from fsnotify_alloc_groupEric Paris
Nothing uses the mask argument to fsnotify_alloc_group. This patch drops that argument. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28Audit: only set group mask when something is being watchedEric Paris
Currently the audit watch group always sets a mask equal to all events it might care about. We instead should only set the group mask if we are actually watching inodes. This should be a perf win when audit watches are compiled in. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: fsnotify_obtain_group should be fsnotify_alloc_groupEric Paris
fsnotify_obtain_group was intended to be able to find an already existing group. Nothing uses that functionality. This just renames it to fsnotify_alloc_group so it is clear what it is doing. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: remove group_num altogetherEric Paris
The original fsnotify interface has a group-num which was intended to be able to find a group after it was added. I no longer think this is a necessary thing to do and so we remove the group_num. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: include data in should_send callsEric Paris
fanotify is going to need to look at file->private_data to know if an event should be sent or not. This passes the data (which might be a file, dentry, inode, or none) to the should_send function calls so fanotify can get that information when available Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: provide the data type to should_send_eventEric Paris
fanotify is only interested in event types which contain enough information to open the original file in the context of the fanotify listener. Since fanotify may not want to send events if that data isn't present we pass the data type to the should_send_event function call so fanotify can express its lack of interest. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28inotify: remove inotify in kernel interfaceEric Paris
nothing uses inotify in the kernel, drop it! Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28Audit: audit watch init should not be before fsnotify initEric Paris
Audit watch init and fsnotify init both use subsys_initcall() but since the audit watch code is linked in before the fsnotify code the audit watch code would be using the fsnotify srcu struct before it was initialized. This patch fixes that problem by moving audit watch init to device_initcall() so it happens after fsnotify is ready.

2010-07-28Audit: split audit watch KconfigEric Paris
Audit watch should depend on CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL and should select FSNOTIFY. This splits the spagetti like mixing of audit_watch and audit_filter code so they can be configured seperately. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28audit: reimplement audit_trees using fsnotify rather than inotifyEric Paris
Simply switch audit_trees from using inotify to using fsnotify for it's inode pinning and disappearing act information. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28fsnotify: allow addition of duplicate fsnotify marksEric Paris
This patch allows a task to add a second fsnotify mark to an inode for the same group. This mark will be added to the end of the inode's list and this will never be found by the stand fsnotify_find_mark() function. This is useful if a user wants to add a new mark before removing the old one. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28audit: do not get and put just to free a watchEric Paris
deleting audit watch rules is not currently done under audit_filter_mutex. It was done this way because we could not hold the mutex during inotify manipulation. Since we are using fsnotify we don't need to do the extra get/put pair nor do we need the private list on which to store the parents while they are about to be freed. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28audit: redo audit watch locking and refcnt in light of fsnotifyEric Paris
fsnotify can handle mutexes to be held across all fsnotify operations since it deals strickly in spinlocks. This can simplify and reduce some of the audit_filter_mutex taking and dropping. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28audit: convert audit watches to use fsnotify instead of inotifyEric Paris
Audit currently uses inotify to pin inodes in core and to detect when watched inodes are deleted or unmounted. This patch uses fsnotify instead of inotify. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2010-07-28Audit: clean up the audit_watch splitEric Paris
No real changes, just cleanup to the audit_watch split patch which we done with minimal code changes for easy review. Now fix interfaces to make things work better. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2010-07-27dynamic debug: move ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module()Jason Baron
The command echo "file ec.c +p" >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control causes an oops. Move the call to ddebug_remove_module() down into free_module(). In this way it should be called from all error paths. Currently, we are missing the remove if the module init routine fails.

2010-07-27timkeeping: Fix update_vsyscall to provide wall_to_monotonic offsetJohn Stultz
update_vsyscall() did not provide the wall_to_monotoinc offset, so arch specific implementations tend to reference wall_to_monotonic directly. This limits future cleanups in the timekeeping core, so this patch fixes the update_vsyscall interface to provide wall_to_monotonic, allowing wall_to_monotonic to be made static as planned in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1279068988-21864-7-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2010-07-22workqueue: fix how cpu number is stored in work->dataTejun Heo
Once a work starts execution, its data contains the cpu number it was on instead of pointing to cwq. This is added by commit 7a22ad75 (workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts) to reliably determine the work was last on even if the workqueue itself was destroyed inbetween. Whether data points to a cwq or contains a cpu number was distinguished by comparing the value against PAGE_OFFSET. The assumption was that a cpu number should be below PAGE_OFFSET while a pointer to cwq should be above it. However, on architectures which use separate address spaces for user and kernel spaces, this doesn't hold as PAGE_OFFSET is zero. Fix it by using an explicit flag, WORK_STRUCT_CWQ, to mark what the data field contains. If the flag is set, it's pointing to a cwq; otherwise, it contains a cpu number. Reported on s390 and microblaze during linux-next testing.
