* dma-mapping: add asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.hFUJITA Tomonori2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We unified x86 and IA64's handling of multiple dma mapping operations (struct dma_map_ops in linux/dma-mapping.h) so we can remove duplication in their arch/include/asm/dma-mapping.h. This patchset adds include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h that provides some generic dma mapping function definitions for the users of struct dma_map_ops. This enables us to remove about 100 lines. This also enables us to easily add CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support, which only x86 supports for now. The 4th patch adds CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support to IA64 by adding only 8 lines. This patch: This header file provides some mapping function definitions that the users of struct dma_map_ops can use.

* gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

* futex: documentation: fix inconsistent description of futex list_op_pendingMatt Helsley2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Strictly speaking list_op_pending points to the 'lock entry', not the 'lock word' (which is actually at 'offset' from 'lock entry'). We can infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c: struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending; ... if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip)) return; ... if (pending) handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset, curr, pip); Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.

* pids: clean up find_task_by_pid variantsChristoph Hellwig2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument. So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid. While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a pid_t. Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting modules to do it that way.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on Eric's patch which in turn was based on my patch. kthread_stop() has the nasty problems: - it runs unpredictably long with the global semaphore held. - it deadlocks if kthread itself does kthread_stop() before it obeys the kthread_should_stop() request. - it is not useable if kthread exits on its own, see for example the ugly "wait_to_die:" hack in migration_thread() - it is not possible to just tell kthread it should stop, we must always wait for its exit. With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted. ->vfork_done is used as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily wait for kthread's exit.

* kthreads: simplify the startup synchronizationOleg Nesterov2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly. kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread() wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself can wake up the caller of kthread_create(). Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code. The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread() must do complete(&create->done).

* do_wait: kill the old BUG_ON, use while_each_thread()Oleg Nesterov2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | do_wait() does BUG_ON(tsk->signal != current->signal), this looks like a raher obsolete check. At least, I don't think do_wait() is the best place to verify that all threads have the same ->signal. Remove it. Also, change the code to use while_each_thread().

* do_wait: simplify retval/tsk_result/notask_error messOleg Nesterov2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we don't pass &retval down to other helpers we can simplify the code more. - kill tsk_result, just use retval - add the "notask" label right after the main loop, and s/got end/goto notask/ after the fastpath pid check. This way we don't need to initialize retval before this check and the code becomes a bit more clean, if this pid has no attached tasks we should just skip the list search.

* introduce "struct wait_opts" to simplify do_wait() patchesOleg Nesterov2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce "struct wait_opts" which holds the parameters for misc helpers in do_wait() pathes. This adds 13 lines to kernel/exit.c, but saves 256 bytes from .o and imho makes the code much more readable. This patch temporary uglifies rusage/siginfo code a little bit, will be addressed by further cleanups.

* shift "ptrace implies WUNTRACED" from ptrace_do_wait() to wait_task_stopped()Oleg Nesterov2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | No functional changes, preparation for the next patch. ptrace_do_wait() adds WUNTRACED to options for wait_task_stopped() which should always accept the stopped tracee, even if do_wait() was called without WUNTRACED. Change wait_task_stopped() to check "ptrace || WUNTRACED" instead. This makes the code more explicit, and "int options" argument becomes const in do_wait() pathes.

* ptrace: do not use task_lock() for attachOleg Nesterov2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the "Nasty, nasty" lock dance in ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme() - from now task_lock() has nothing to do with ptrace at all. With the recent changes nobody uses task_lock() to serialize with ptrace, but in fact it was never needed and it was never used consistently. However ptrace_attach() calls __ptrace_may_access() and needs task_lock() to pin task->mm for get_dumpable(). But we can call __ptrace_may_access() before we take tasklist_lock, ->cred_exec_mutex protects us against do_execve() path which can change creds and MMF_DUMP* flags. (ugly, but we can't use ptrace_may_access() because it hides the error code, so we have to take task_lock() and use __ptrace_may_access()). NOTE: this change assumes that LSM hooks, security_ptrace_may_access() and security_ptrace_traceme(), can be called without task_lock() held.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add PF_KTHREAD check to prevent attaching to the kernel thread with a borrowed ->mm. With or without this change we can race with daemonize() which can set PF_KTHREAD or clear ->mm after ptrace_attach() does the check, but this doesn't matter because reparent_to_kthreadd() does ptrace_unlink(). - Kill "!task->mm" check. We don't really care about ->mm != NULL, and the task can call exit_mm() right after we drop task_lock(). What we need is to make sure we can't attach after exit_notify(), check task->exit_state != 0 instead. Also, move the "already traced" check down for cosmetic reasons.
