* powerpc/eeh: Remove eeh device from OF nodeGavin Shan2012-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, the PCI sensitive OF node is tracing the eeh device through struct device_node->edev. However, it was regarded as bad idea. The patch removes struct device_node->edev and uses PCI_DN to trace the corresponding eeh device according to BenH's comments.

This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device" which appears so often. Clean up the users as follows: 1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that. 2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply delete the include altogether. 3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h 4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding the required header(s). Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be present have already been dealt with in advance. Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7. As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/* Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them. This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise: CC lib/string.o lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat': lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON' make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1 $ $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c #include <linux/bug.h> $ We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development. With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are: 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the implicit presence of BUG code. 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code. 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h> 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain. During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem areas in advance.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In spinlock_api_smp.h we find a define for assert_raw_spin_locked [which uses BUG_ON]. Then assert_spin_locked (as an inline) uses it, meaning we need bug.h But rather than put linux/bug.h in such a highly used file like spinlock.h, we can just make the un-raw version also a macro. Then the required bug.h presence is limited just to those few files who are actually doing the assert testing.

Several of those tunables are per network device. In several instances people are running with 1000+ network devices in there network stacks, which makes the simple per directory linked list in sysctl a scaling bottleneck. Replace O(N^2) sysctl insertion and lookup times with O(NlogN) by using an rbtree to index the sysctl directories.

Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables. Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache. Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated directories. The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are removed as they are no longer needed. The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of the sysctl code. ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the existing users have been updated.

Graphically: register('dir', { + file-a + file-b + subdir1 + file-c + subdir2 + file-d + file-e }) is transformed into: wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b}) wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c}) wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e}) return wrapper This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL). Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to __register_sysctl_table whenever possible. This change is derived from a similar patch written by Lucrian Grijincu.

We remove it and use a generic approach instead. A new ios_handler is added, the purpose of which e.g. can be to control GPIO pins to a levelshifter. Previously the vdd_handler was also used for making additional changes to the power register bits. This option is superfluous and is therefore removed. Adaptaptions from the old vdd_handler to the new ios_handler is done for mach-ux500 board, which was the only one using the vdd_handler. This patch is based upon a patch from Sebastian Rasmussen.

The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag: MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request memory regions which should not dump core. The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core. This flag might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely make sure that parts of memory are not dumped. To clear the flag use: MADV_DODUMP.

There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

The caller must ensure that subprocess_info->path/etc can not go away until call_usermodehelper_freeinfo(). call_usermodehelper_exec(UMH_KILLABLE) does wait_for_completion_killable. If it fails, it uses xchg(&sub_info->complete, NULL) to serialize with umh_complete() which does the same xhcg() to access sub_info->complete. If call_usermodehelper_exec wins, it can safely return. umh_complete() should get NULL and call call_usermodehelper_freeinfo(). Otherwise we know that umh_complete() was already called, in this case call_usermodehelper_exec() falls back to wait_for_completion() which should succeed "very soon". Note: UMH_NO_WAIT == -1 but it obviously should not be used with UMH_KILLABLE. We delay the neccessary cleanup to simplify the back porting.

New PTRACE_EVENT_STOP is the first event which has no corresponding PTRACE_O_TRACE option. If we will ever want to add another such option, its PTRACE_EVENT's value will collide with PTRACE_EVENT_STOP's value. This patch changes PTRACE_EVENT_STOP value to prevent this. While at it, added a comment - the one atop PTRACE_EVENT block, saying "Wait extended result codes for the above trace options", is not true for PTRACE_EVENT_STOP.

PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with value of PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT-1 is easier to use. PT_TRACE_MASK constant is nuked, the only its use is replaced by (PTRACE_O_MASK << PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT).

An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.
