* genirq: Provide default irq init flagsThomas Gleixner2010-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | Arch code sets it's own irq_desc.status flags right after boot and for dynamically allocated interrupts. That might involve iterating over a huge array. Allow ARCH_IRQ_INIT_FLAGS to set separate flags aside of IRQ_DISABLED which is the default. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* genirq: Remove early_init_irq_lock_class()Thomas Gleixner2010-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | early_init_irq_lock_class() is called way before anything touches the irq descriptors. In case of SPARSE_IRQ=y this is a NOP operation because the radix tree is empty at this point. For the SPARSE_IRQ=n case it's sufficient to set the lock class in early_init_irq().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Low level chip functions need access to irq_desc->handler_data, irq_desc->chip_data and irq_desc->msi_desc. We hand down the irq number to the low level functions, so they need to lookup irq_desc. With sparse irq this means a radix tree lookup. We could hand down irq_desc itself, but low level chip functions have no need to fiddle with it directly and we want to restrict access to irq_desc further. Preparatory patch for new chip functions. Note, that the ugly anon union/struct is there to avoid a full tree wide clean up for now.

* | compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()H. Peter Anvin2010-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could introduce problems on some architectures. This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length. The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the implementation of the new global function. This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space() for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers can also be removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| * | tracing: Do not allow llseek to set_ftrace_filterSteven Rostedt2010-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things. 1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer 2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer 3) shows what triggers are set on any functions 3 is independent from 1 and 2. The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine, and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops. Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter). A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the next major release.

* | | swap: revert special hibernation allocationHugh Dickins2010-09-09

It complicated matters by adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path. I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation, as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a separate fix.

This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified. cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more generic new function.

* | | gcov: fix null-pointer dereference for certain module typesPeter Oberparleiter2010-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gcov-kernel infrastructure expects that each object file is loaded only once. This may not be true, e.g. when loading multiple kernel modules which are linked to the same object file. As a result, loading such kernel modules will result in incorrect gcov results while unloading will cause a null-pointer dereference. This patch fixes these problems by changing the gcov-kernel infrastructure so that multiple profiling data sets can be associated with one debugfs entry. It applies to 2.6.36-rc1.
