2010-10-22kobject: Introduce kset_find_obj_hinted.Robin Holt
One call chain getting to kset_find_obj is: link_mem_sections() find_mem_section() kset_find_obj() This is done during boot. The memory sections were added in a linearly increasing order and link_mem_sections tends to utilize them in that same linear order. Introduce a kset_find_obj_hinted which is passed the result of the previous kset_find_obj which it uses for a quick "is the next object our desired object" check before falling back to the old behavior.

2010-10-22Dynamic Debug: Initialize dynamic debug earlier via arch_initcallThomas Renninger
Having the ddebug_query= boot parameter it makes sense to set up dynamic debug as soon as possible. I expect sysfs files cannot be set up via an arch_initcall, because this one is even before fs_initcall. Therefore I splitted the dynamic_debug_init function into an early one and a later one providing /sys/../dynamic_debug/control file. Possibly dynamic_debug can be initialized even earlier, not sure whether this still makes sense then. I picked up arch_initcall as it covers quite a lot already. Dynamic debug needs to allocate memory, therefore it's not easily possible to set it up even before the command line gets parsed. Therefore the boot param query string is stored in a temp string which is applied when dynamic debug gets set up. This has been tested with ddebug_query="file ec.c +p" and I could retrieve pr_debug() messages early at boot during ACPI setup: ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: transaction start ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80 ACPI: EC: ~~~> interrupt ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: <--- data = 0xa4 ...

2010-10-22Dynamic Debug: Introduce ddebug_query= boot parameterThomas Renninger
Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time. One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks. This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param. When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be applied.

2010-10-21BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.Arnd Bergmann
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-10-05modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption raceLinus Torvalds
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

2010-10-01lib/list_sort: do not pass bad pointers to cmp callbackDon Mullis
If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73 will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head. This is dangerous because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the "containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head. So the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write access, we can end up with memory corruption.

2010-08-31tracing/lockdep: Fix dependency of TRACE_IRQFLAGSSteven Rostedt
When CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER is set and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not, we get the following error: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig arch/x86/Kconfig warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING) warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING) This is because IRQSOFF_TRACER selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS but TRACE_IRQFLAGS has PROVE_LOCKING as a dependency. This code is incorrect, and this patch changes the TRACE_IRQFLAGS to be just a simple bool that does not depend or select anything. Instead both IRQSOFF_TRACER and PROVE_LOCKING select it.

2010-08-30scatterlist: prevent invalid free when alloc failsJeffrey Carlyle
When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page() or kmalloc(). When alloc fails, our math is wrong (due to sg_size - 1), and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.

2010-08-23radix-tree: radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() can set incorrect tagsDave Chinner
Commit ebf8aa44beed48cd17893a83d92a4403e5f9d9e2 ("radix-tree: omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the range it is searching. Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with the tag we are searching for set. As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or livelock because the lookup cannot make progress. The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in this manner. This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging").

2010-08-23radix-tree: clear all tags in radix_tree_node_rcu_freeDave Chinner
Commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to 3. It did not, however, fix up the code in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink() and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array. The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups, resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree. Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink() leaves behind.

2010-08-19rcu: Allow RCU CPU stall warnings to be off at boot, but manually enablablePaul E. McKenney
Currently, if RCU CPU stall warnings are enabled, they are enabled immediately upon boot. They can be manually disabled via /sys (and also re-enabled via /sys), and are automatically disabled upon panic. However, some users need RCU CPU stalls to be disabled at boot time, but to be enabled without rebuilding/rebooting. For example, someone running a real-time application in production might not want the additional latency of RCU CPU stall detection in normal operation, but might need to enable it at any point for fault isolation purposes. This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel configuration parameter that maintains the current behavior (enable at boot) by default, but allows a kernel to be configured with RCU CPU stall detection built into the kernel, but disabled at boot time.

2010-08-19rcu: define __rcu address space modifier for sparsePaul E. McKenney
This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier. This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(), or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism. There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer() accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock. This patch also updates a number of docbook comments that were showing their age. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
