* tty: expose new methods needed for drivers to get termios rightAlan Cox2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds three new functions (or in one case to be more exact makes it always available) tty_termios_copy_hw Copies all the hardware settings from one termios structure to the other. This is intended for drivers that support little or no hardware setting tty_termios_encode_baud_rate Allows you to set the input and output baud rate in a termios structure. A driver is supposed to set the resulting baud rate from a request so most will want to use this function to set the resulting input and output rates to match the hardware values. Internally it knows about keeping Bxxx encoding when possible to maximise compatibility. tty_encode_baud_rate As above but for the tty's own current termios structure I suspect this will initially need some tweaking as it gets enabled by driver patches over the next few mm cycles so consider this lot -mm only for the moment so it can stabilize and end up neat before it goes to base. I've tried not to break any obscure architectures - if you get a speed you can't represent the code will print warnings on non updated termios systems but not break. Once this is merged and seems sane I've got a growing pile of driver updates to use it - notably for USB serial drivers.

* shrink_dcache_sb speedupDenis V. Lunev2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy. On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some dentries for removal. However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be inserted *before* our dentries. This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb(). Moreover, for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity. We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries. To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end of LRU list. Signed-off-by: Denis V.

* KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronousDavid Howells2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion of construction. Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use it. This is done automatically for userspace. The following auxiliary changes are also made: (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into linux/key-type.h. (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly. (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as discussed on linux-arch.

* NBD: allow hung network I/O to be cancelledPaul Clements2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs. Previously, I/O would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes) occurred. The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit timeout value (in seconds) to be specified. Any network send that exceeds the timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down. I've tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for the timeout. If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O hang) behavior.

* Add vmcoreinfoKen'ichi Ohmichi2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system. makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is hard to install it into each system. To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html) Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.1/1053.html) And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.

* Add MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERSRoland McGrath2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter. This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to be a mapping of an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in a generic way just from its contents (e.g. when those binaries were built with ld --build-id). I expect this to become the default behavior eventually. Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come. Soon many people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide. This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not need to be using atomic macros.

Each arch that needs to fake out fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al. Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used. It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit from. I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home. Doing the same for each other arch should be straightforward, and I'm happy to offer tips.

* printk: add interfaces for external access to the log bufferMike Frysinger2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two new functions for reading the kernel log buffer. The intention is for them to be used by recovery/dump/debug code so the kernel log can be easily retrieved/parsed in a crash scenario, but they are generic enough for other people to dream up other fun uses.

* Add /sys/module/name/notesRoland McGrath2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the /sys/module/<name>/notes/ magic directory, which has a file for each allocated SHT_NOTE section that appears in <name>.ko. This is the counterpart for each module of /sys/kernel/notes for vmlinux. Reading this delivers the contents of the module's SHT_NOTE sections. This lets userland easily glean any detailed information about that module's build that was stored there at compile time (e.g. by ld --build-id).

* core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipeNeil Horman2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

* Add in SunOS 4.1.x compatible mode for UFSMark Fortescue2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add in support for SunOS 4.1.x flavor of BSD 4.2 UFS filing system Macros have been put in to alow suport for the old static table Cylinder Groups but this implementation does not use them yet. This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links. Tested by: Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system. Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of files to the UFS partition. Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files. The test host is a sun4c SS1 Clone.

* fs: remove the unused mempages parameterDenis Cheng2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the mempages parameter is actually not used, they should be removed. Now there is only files_init use the mempages parameter, files_init(mempages); but I don't think the adaptation to mempages in files_init is really useful; and if files_init also changed to the prototype void (*func)(void), the wrapper vfs_caches_init would also not need the mempages parameter.

* Remove "unsafe" from module structRusty Russell2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adrian Bunk points out that "unsafe" was used to mark modules touched by the deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT interface, which has long gone. It's time to remove the member from the module structure, as well. If you want a module which can't unload, don't register an exit function. (Vlad Yasevich says SCTP is now safe to unload, so just remove the __unsafe there).

* ext2: show all mount optionsMiklos Szeredi2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and use /proc/mounts instead. But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the options. It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so /etc/mtab will be broken in this case. This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].
