* ipmi: add MODULE_ALIAS to load ipmi_devintf with ipmi_siScott James Remnant2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI devices, yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler driver. Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the ipmi_si driver, so that userspace knows of the recommendation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the time being build for ia64-sn2 alone when CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC is specified. This eliminates a dependency of the XP/XPC drivers on having the GRU driver insmod'd in order to insmod them, when running on an ia64-sn2 system. On such a system the GRU driver serves no useful purpose.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently "kill <sig> -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148 As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1" check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's namespace.

* ecryptfs: fix memory corruption when storing crypto info in xattrsEric Sandeen2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When ecryptfs allocates space to write crypto headers into, before copying it out to file headers or to xattrs, it looks at the value of crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front to determine how much space it needs. This is also used as the file offset to the actual encrypted data, so for xattr-stored crypto info, the value was zero. So, we kzalloc'd 0 bytes, and then ran off to write to that memory. (Which returned as ZERO_SIZE_PTR, so we explode quickly). The right answer is to always allocate a page to write into; the current code won't ever write more than that (this is enforced by the (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - offset) length in the call to ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set). To be explicit about this, we now send in a "max" parameter, rather than magically using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE there. Also, since the pointer we pass down the callchain eventually gets the virt_to_page() treatment, we should be using a alloc_page variant, not kzalloc (see also 7fcba054373d5dfc43d26e243a5c9b92069972ee) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The Linux kernel defaulted to 32k (on a 4k page size system) to accommodate the needs of gpg. However, newer gpg2 needs 64k in various circumstances and otherwise fails miserably, see bnc#329675. Change the default to 64k, and make it more agnostic to PAGE_SIZE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23 ( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer ) added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into the current_tracer file. But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny thing is that the tracer would have already been set. This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

| * ftrace: use a real variable for ftrace_nop in x86Steven Rostedt2008-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: avoid section mismatch warning, clean up The dynamic ftrace determines which nop is safe to use at start up. When it finds a safe nop for patching, it sets a pointer called ftrace_nop to point to the code. All call sites are then patched to this nop. Later, when tracing is turned on, this ftrace_nop variable is again used to compare the location to make sure it is a nop before we update it to an mcount call. If this fails just once, a warning is printed and ftrace is disabled. Rakib Mullick noted that the code that sets up the nop is a .init section where as the nop itself is in the .text section. This is needed because the nop is used later on after boot up. The problem is that the test of the nop jumps back to the setup code and causes a "section mismatch" warning. Rakib first recommended to convert the nop to .init.text, but as stated above, this would fail since that text is used later. The real solution is to extend Rabik's patch, and to make the ftrace_nop into an array, and just save the code from the assembly to this array. Now the section can stay as an init section, and we have a nop to use later on.

| * tracepoint: check if the probe has been registeredFrederic Weisbecker2008-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix kernel crash that can trigger during tracing If we try to remove a probe that has not been already registered, the tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function will dereference a NULL pointer. Check the probe before removing it to avoid crashes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: build fix DIE_OOPS is now used in the generic trace handling code so it needs to be defined for all architectures. Define it in asm-generic so that it's available to all by default and doesn't cause build errors for architectures that rely on the generic implementation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this warning: kernel/trace/ftrace.c:189: warning: ‘frozen_record_count’ defined but not used triggers because frozen_record_count is only used in the KCONFIG_MARKERS case. Move the variable it there. Alas, this frozen-record facility seems to have little use. The frozen_record_count variable is not used by anything, nor the flags. So this section might need a bit of dead-code-removal care as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The entire file of ftrace.c in the arch code needs to be marked as notrace. It is much cleaner to do this from the Makefile with CFLAGS_REMOVE_ftrace.o.

| * | ftrace: remove ftrace hashSteven Rostedt2008-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ftrace hash was used by the ftrace_daemon code. The record ip function would place the calling address (ip) into the hash. The daemon would later read the hash and modify that code. The hash complicates the code. This patch removes it.

| * | ftrace: disable dynamic ftrace for all archs that use daemonSteven Rostedt2008-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ftrace daemon is complex and can cause nasty races if something goes wrong. Since it affects all of the kernel, this patch disables dynamic ftrace from any arch that depends on the daemon. Until the archs are ported over to the new MCOUNT_RECORD method, I am disabling dynamic ftrace from them. Note: I am leaving in the arch/<arch>/kernel/ftrace.c code alone since that can be used when the arch is ported to MCOUNT_RECORD. To port the arch to MCOUNT_RECORD, the scripts/recordmcount.pl needs to be updated. I will make that easier to do for 2.6.29. For 28, we will keep the archs disabled.
