* checkpatch: update suggested printk conversionsJoe Perches2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Direct conversion of printk(KERN_<LEVEL>... to pr_<level> isn't the preferred conversion when a struct net_device or struct device is available. Hint that using netdev_<level> or dev_<level> is preferred to using pr_<level>. Add netdev_dbg and dev_dbg variants too. Miscellaneous whitespace neatening of a misplaced close brace.

* scatterlist: atomic sg_mapping_iter() no longer needs disabled IRQsTejun Heo2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SG mapping iterator w/ SG_MITER_ATOMIC set required IRQ disabled because it originally used KM_BIO_SRC_IRQ to allow use from IRQ handlers. kmap_atomic() has long been updated to handle stacking atomic mapping requests on per-cpu basis and only requires not sleeping while mapped. Update sg_mapping_iter such that atomic iterators only require disabling preemption instead of disabling IRQ. While at it, convert wte weird @ARG@ notations to @ARG in the comment of sg_miter_start().

* lib/vsprintf.c: improve standard conformance of sscanf()Jan Beulich2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Xen's pciback points out a couple of deficiencies with vsscanf()'s standard conformance: - Trailing character matching cannot be checked by the caller: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x) %n" absence of the closing parenthesis cannot be checked, as input of "(00:00.0)" doesn't cause the %n to be evaluated (because of the code not skipping white space before the trailing %n). - The parameter corresponding to a trailing %n could get filled even if there was a matching error: With a format string of "(%x:%x.%x)%n", input of "(00:00.0]" would still fill the respective variable pointed to (and hence again make the mismatch non-detectable by the caller). This patch aims at fixing those, but leaves other non-conforming aspects of it untouched, among them these possibly relevant ones: - improper handling of the assignment suppression character '*' (blindly discarding all succeeding non-white space from the format and input strings), - not honoring conversion specifiers for %n, - not recognizing the C99 conversion specifier 't' (recognized by vsprintf()).

* lib/spinlock_debug: avoid livelock in do_raw_spin_lock()Vikram Mulukutla2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic in do_raw_spin_lock() attempts to acquire a spinlock by invoking arch_spin_trylock() in a loop with a delay between each attempt. Now consider the following situation in a 2 CPU system: 1. CPU-0 continually acquires and releases a spinlock in a tight loop; it stays in this loop until some condition X is satisfied. X can only be satisfied by another CPU. 2. CPU-1 tries to acquire the same spinlock, in an attempt to satisfy the aforementioned condition X. However, it never sees the unlocked value of the lock because the debug spinlock code uses trylock instead of just lock; it checks at all the wrong moments - whenever CPU-0 has locked the lock. Now in the absence of debug spinlocks, the architecture specific spinlock code can correctly allow CPU-1 to wait in a "queue" (e.g., ticket spinlocks), ensuring that it acquires the lock at some point. However, with the debug spinlock code, livelock can easily occur due to the use of try_lock, which obviously cannot put the CPU in that "queue". This queueing mechanism is implemented in both x86 and ARM spinlock code. Note that the situation mentioned above is not hypothetical. A real problem was encountered where CPU-0 was running hrtimer_cancel with interrupts disabled, and CPU-1 was attempting to run the hrtimer that CPU-0 was trying to cancel. Address this by actually attempting arch_spin_lock once it is suspected that there is a spinlock lockup. If we're in a situation that is described above, the arch_spin_lock should succeed; otherwise other timeout mechanisms (e.g., watchdog) should alert the system of a lockup. Therefore, if there is a genuine system problem and the spinlock can't be acquired, the end result (irrespective of this change being present) is the same. If there is a livelock caused by the debug code, this change will allow the lock to be acquired, depending on the implementation of the lower level arch specific spinlock code.

* genalloc: make it possible to use a custom allocation algorithmBenjamin Gaignard2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Premit use of another algorithm than the default first-fit one. For example a custom algorithm could be used to manage alignment requirements. As I can't predict all the possible requirements/needs for all allocation uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed information to the allocation function. For example 'data' could be used to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the allocation algorithm. An usage example may look like this: struct my_pool_constraints { int align; int bank; ... }; unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size, unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data) { struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data; ... deal with allocation contraints ... return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation } void create_my_pool() { struct my_pool_constraints c; struct gen_pool *pool = gen_pool_create(...); gen_pool_add(pool, ...); gen_pool_set_algo(pool, my_custom_algo, &c); } Add of best-fit algorithm function: most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the best-fit algorithm is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't. This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500 (in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of static allocations becomes unmaintainable: cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM . ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */ ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE 0x40000000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE 0x00020000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 U8500_ESRAM_BASE ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 (U8500_ESRAM_BASE + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 (U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET 0x10000 ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCPA_BASE (U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 + U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET) ./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCLA_BASE U8500_ESRAM_BANK4 I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to fine tune the allocation algorithm.

* lib/parser.c: avoid overflow in match_number()Alex Elder2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The result of converting an integer value to another signed integer type that's unable to represent the original value is implementation defined. (See notes in section 6.3.1.3 of the C standard.) In match_number(), the result of simple_strtol() (which returns type long) is assigned to a value of type int. Instead, handle the result of simple_strtol() in a well-defined way, and return -ERANGE if the result won't fit in the int variable used to hold the parsed result. No current callers pay attention to the particular error value returned, so this additional return code shouldn't do any harm.

* poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()hongfeng2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | orderly_poweroff is trying to poweroff platform in two steps: step 1: Call user space application to poweroff step 2: If user space poweroff fail, then do a force power off if force param is set. The bug here is, step 1 is always successful with param UMH_NO_WAIT, which obey the design goal of orderly_poweroff. We have two choices here: UMH_WAIT_EXEC which means wait for the exec, but not the process; UMH_WAIT_PROC which means wait for the process to complete. we need to trade off the two choices: If using UMH_WAIT_EXEC, there is potential issue comments by Serge E. Hallyn: The exec will have started, but may for whatever (very unlikely) reason fail. If using UMH_WAIT_PROC, there is potential issue comments by Eric W. Biederman: If the caller is not running in a kernel thread then we can easily get into a case where the user space caller will block waiting for us when we are waiting for the user space caller. Thanks for their excellent ideas, based on the above discussion, we finally choose UMH_WAIT_EXEC, which is much more safe, if the user application really fails, we just complain the application itself, it seems a better choice here.

* kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()Shawn Guo2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As kernel_power_off() calls disable_nonboot_cpus(), we may also want to have kernel_restart() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). Doing so can help machines that require boot cpu be the last alive cpu during reboot to survive with kernel restart. This fixes one reboot issue seen on imx6q (Cortex-A9 Quad). The machine requires that the restart routine be run on the primary cpu rather than secondary ones. Otherwise, the secondary core running the restart routine will fail to come to online after reboot.

* tile: fix personality bits handling upon exec()Jiri Kosina2012-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific architectures. We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the personality flags across exec(). This patch fixes tile architecture not to forcefully overwrite personality flags during exec(). In addition to that, we fix two other things along the way: - exec_domain switching is fixed -- set_personality() should always be used instead of directly assigning to current->personality. - as pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, PER_LINUX_32BIT is not used anywhere by tile, so let's just drop that in favor of PER_LINUX Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Acked-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
