2010-07-22trace: strlen() return doesn't account for the NULLDan Carpenter
We need to add one to the strlen() return because of the NULL character. The type->name here generally comes from the kernel and I don't think any of them come close to being MAX_TRACER_SIZE (100) characters long so this is basically a cleanup.

Immediately following an exit from the kdb shell the kgdb_connected variable should be set to zero, unless there are breakpoints planted.

In the process of merging kdb to the mainline, the kdb lsmod command stopped printing the base load address of kernel modules.

2010-07-21repair gdbstub to match the gdbserial protocol specificationJason Wessel
The gdbserial protocol handler should return an empty packet instead of an error string when ever it responds to a command it does not implement. The problem cases come from a debugger client sending qTBuffer, qTStatus, qSearch, qSupported. The incorrect response from the gdbstub leads the debugger clients to not function correctly.

2010-07-21tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessaryKOSAKI Motohiro
Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt says buffer_size_kb: This sets or displays the number of kilobytes each CPU buffer can hold. The tracer buffers are the same size for each CPU. The displayed number is the size of the CPU buffer and not total size of all buffers. The trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size). If the last page allocated has room for more bytes than requested, the rest of the page will be used, making the actual allocation bigger than requested. ( Note, the size may not be a multiple of the page size due to buffer management overhead. ) This can only be updated when the current_tracer is set to "nop". But it's incorrect. currently total memory consumption is 'buffer_size_kb x CPUs x 2'. Why two times difference is there? because ftrace implicitly allocate the buffer for max latency too. That makes sad result when admin want to use large buffer. (If admin want full logging and makes detail analysis). example, If admin have 24 CPUs machine and write 200MB to buffer_size_kb, the system consume ~10GB memory (200MB x 24 x 2). umm.. 5GB memory waste is usually unacceptable. Fortunatelly, almost all users don't use max latency feature. The max latency buffer can be disabled easily. This patch shrink buffer size of the max latency buffer if unnecessary.

2010-07-20workqueue: fix mayday_mask handling on UPTejun Heo
All cpumasks are assumed to have cpu 0 permanently set on UP, so it can't be used to signify whether there's something to be done for the CPU. workqueue was using cpumask to track which CPU requested rescuer assistance and this led rescuer thread to think there always are pending mayday requests on UP, which resulted in infinite busy loops.

2010-07-19PM: Make it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system sleepRafael J. Wysocki
One of the arguments during the suspend blockers discussion was that the mainline kernel didn't contain any mechanisms making it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system suspend. Generally, there are two problems in that area. First, if a wakeup event occurs exactly when /sys/power/state is being written to, it may be delivered to user space right before the freezer kicks in, so the user space consumer of the event may not be able to process it before the system is suspended. Second, if a wakeup event occurs after user space has been frozen, it is not generally guaranteed that the ongoing transition of the system into a sleep state will be aborted. To address these issues introduce a new global sysfs attribute, /sys/power/wakeup_count, associated with a running counter of wakeup events and three helper functions, pm_stay_awake(), pm_relax(), and pm_wakeup_event(), that may be used by kernel subsystems to control the behavior of this attribute and to request the PM core to abort system transitions into a sleep state already in progress. The /sys/power/wakeup_count file may be read from or written to by user space. Reads will always succeed (unless interrupted by a signal) and return the current value of the wakeup events counter. Writes, however, will only succeed if the written number is equal to the current value of the wakeup events counter. If a write is successful, it will cause the kernel to save the current value of the wakeup events counter and to abort the subsequent system transition into a sleep state if any wakeup events are reported after the write has returned. [The assumption is that before writing to /sys/power/state user space will first read from /sys/power/wakeup_count. Next, user space consumers of wakeup events will have a chance to acknowledge or veto the upcoming system transition to a sleep state. Finally, if the transition is allowed to proceed, /sys/power/wakeup_count will be written to and if that succeeds, /sys/power/state will be written to as well. Still, if any wakeup events are reported to the PM core by kernel subsystems after that point, the transition will be aborted.] Additionally, put a wakeup events counter into struct dev_pm_info and make these per-device wakeup event counters available via sysfs, so that it's possible to check the activity of various wakeup event sources within the kernel. To illustrate how subsystems can use pm_wakeup_event(), make the low-level PCI runtime PM wakeup-handling code use it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-07-16rlimits: implement prlimit64 syscallJiri Slaby
This patch adds the code to support the sys_prlimit64 syscall which modifies-and-returns the rlim values of a selected process atomically. The first parameter, pid, being 0 means current process. Unlike the current implementation, it is a generic interface, architecture indepentent so that we needn't handle compat stuff anymore. In the future, after glibc start to use this we can deprecate sys_setrlimit and sys_getrlimit in favor to clean up the code finally. It also adds a possibility of changing limits of other processes. We check the user's permissions to do that and if it succeeds, the new limits are propagated online. This is good for large scale applications such as SAP or databases where administrators need to change limits time by time (e.g. on crashes increase core size). And it is unacceptable to restart the service. For safety, all rlim users now either use accessors or doesn't need them due to - locking - the fact a process was just forked and nobody else knows about it yet (and nobody can't thus read/write limits) hence it is safe to modify limits now. The limitation is that we currently stay at ulong internal representation. So the rlim64_is_infinity check is used where value is compared against ULONG_MAX on 32-bit which is the maximum value there. And since internally the limits are held in struct rlimit, converters which are used before and after do_prlimit call in sys_prlimit64 are introduced. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>

Do all the signal processing under that lock still held. There are some points: 1) security_task_setrlimit is now called with that lock held. This is not new, many security_* functions are called with this lock held already so it doesn't harm (all this security_* stuff does almost the same). 2) task->sighand->siglock (in update_rlimit_cpu) is nested in tasklist_lock. This dependence is already existing. 3) tsk->alloc_lock is nested in tasklist_lock. This is OK too, already existing dependence.

This is the first phase to have generic do_prlimit which allows to be called from read, write and compat rlimits code. The new do_setrlimit also accepts a task pointer to change the limits of. Currently, it cannot be other than current, but this will change with locking later. Also pass tsk->group_leader to security_task_setrlimit to check whether current is allowed to change rlimits of the process and not its arbitrary thread because it makes more sense given that rlimit are per process and not per-thread.

2010-07-16rlimits: make sure ->rlim_max never grows in sys_setrlimitOleg Nesterov
Mostly preparation for Jiri's changes, but probably makes sense anyway. sys_setrlimit() checks new_rlim.rlim_max <= old_rlim->rlim_max, but when it takes task_lock() old_rlim->rlim_max can be already lowered. Move this check under task_lock(). Currently this is not important, we can only race with our sub-thread, this means the application is stupid. But when we change the code to allow the update of !current task's limits, it becomes important to make sure ->rlim_max can be lowered "reliably" even if we race with the application doing sys_setrlimit().

So we can calculate the sequence number and the percpu reorder queue of the next object that needs serialization without searching through the percpu reorder queues. This avoids some accesses to memory of foreign cpus. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2010-07-14padata: make padata_do_parallel to return zero on successSteffen Klassert
To return -EINPROGRESS on success in padata_do_parallel was considered to be odd. This patch changes this to return zero on success. Also the only user of padata, pcrypt is adapted to convert a return of zero to -EINPROGRESS within the crypto layer. This also removes the pcrypt fallback if padata_do_parallel was called on a not running padata instance as we can't handle it anymore. This fallback was unused, so it's save to remove it.

2010-07-14padata: Handle empty padata cpumasksSteffen Klassert
This patch fixes a bug when the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. In this case we get a division by zero in padata_alloc_pd and we end up with a useless padata instance. Padata can end up with an empty cpumask for two reasons: 1. A user removed the last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the active cpumask. 2. The last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the active cpumask goes offline. We introduce a function padata_validate_cpumask to check if the padata cpumask does intersect with the active cpumask. If the cpumasks do not intersect we mark the instance as invalid, so it can't be used. We do not allocate the cpumask dependend recources in this case. This fixes the division by zero and keeps the padate instance in a consistent state. It's not possible to trigger this bug by now because the only padata user, pcrypt uses always the possible cpumask.

2010-07-14padata: Block until the instance is unused on stopSteffen Klassert
This patch makes padata_stop to block until the padata instance is unused. Also we split padata_stop to a locked and a unlocked version. This is in preparation to be able to change the cpumask after a call to patata stop.

2010-07-14padata: Check for valid padata instance on startSteffen Klassert
This patch introduces the PADATA_INVALID flag which is checked on padata start. This will be used to mark a padata instance as invalid, if the padata cpumask does not intersect with the active cpumask. we change padata_start to return an error if the PADATA_INVALID is set. Also we adapt the only padata user, pcrypt to this change. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
