| * | [PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

| * | [PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel modulePaul E. McKenney2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2). This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset. Signed-off-by: "Paul E.

| * | [PATCH] Keys: Add LSM hooks for key management [try #3]David Howells2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable changes are: (1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which programs may access a key. (2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key. (3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules; the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out. (4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather than a boolean value. (5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of attributes (UID, GID, permissions). Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation, but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based on the permission request bits. Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.

| * | [PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch: mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4, but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6. On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm, so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there. Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under and sometimes not?).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time; yet we keep on breaking it more and more. If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all. I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

Only the ADM1032 chip supports it, and in a rather tricky way, which is why this patch comes with documentation reinforcements. At least, this demonstrates that the new PEC support logic in i2c-core can properly deal with chips with partial PEC support. As enabling PEC causes a significant performance drop, it can be disabled through a sysfs file (unsurprisingly named "pec").
