* [PATCH] cond_resched() fixAndrew Morton2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug identified by Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>: If the system is in state SYSTEM_BOOTING, and need_resched() is true, cond_resched() returns true even though it didn't reschedule. Consequently need_resched() remains true and JBD locks up. Fix that by teaching cond_resched() to only return true if it really did call schedule(). cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq() have a problem too. If we're in SYSTEM_BOOTING state and need_resched() is true, these functions will drop the lock and will then try to call schedule(), but the SYSTEM_BOOTING state will prevent schedule() from being called. So on return, need_resched() will still be true, but cond_resched_lock() has to return 1 to tell the caller that the lock was dropped. The caller will probably lock up. Bottom line: if these functions dropped the lock, they _must_ call schedule() to clear need_resched(). Make it so. Also, uninline __cond_resched(). It's largeish, and slowpath.

* [PATCH] SELinux: add security hook call to kill_proc_info_as_uidDavid Quigley2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a call to the extended security_task_kill hook introduced by the prior patch to the kill_proc_info_as_uid function so that these signals can be properly mediated by security modules. It also updates the existing hook call in check_kill_permission.

* [PATCH] zoned vm counters: zone_reclaim: remove ↵Christoph Lameter2006-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval The zone_reclaim_interval was necessary because we were not able to determine how many unmapped pages exist in a zone. Therefore we had to scan in intervals to figure out if any pages were unmapped. With the zoned counters and NR_ANON_PAGES we now know the number of pagecache pages and the number of mapped pages in a zone. So we can simply skip the reclaim if there is an insufficient number of unmapped pages. We use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX as the boundary. Drop all support for /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval.

* [NETLINK]: Encapsulate eff_cap usage within security framework.Darrel Goeddel2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch encapsulates the usage of eff_cap (in netlink_skb_params) within the security framework by extending security_netlink_recv to include a required capability parameter and converting all direct usage of eff_caps outside of the lsm modules to use the interface. It also updates the SELinux implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct. This also enables SELinux to perform auditing of netlink capability checks. Please apply, for 2.6.18 if possible.

| * [POWERPC] Add the use of the firmware soft-reset-nmi to kdump.David Wilder2006-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes: 1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset. 2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump processing. When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see crash_soft_reset_check()) When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered. The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above. Two conditions must be handled at this point: 1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See 2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the case of a Panic or oops). The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds as described above. Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

* | [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar2006-06-29

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

* | [PATCH] Add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPLArjan van de Ven2006-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL. These will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the kernel and are on the way out. When a module uses such a symbol, a warning is printk'd at modprobe time. The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary. This patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config option.

* | [PATCH] rtmutex: Propagate priority settings into PI lock chainsThomas Gleixner2006-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the priority of a task, which is blocked on a lock, changes we must propagate this change into the PI lock chain. Therefor the chain walk code is changed to get rid of the references to current to avoid false positives in the deadlock detector, as setscheduler might be called by a task which holds the lock on which the task whose priority is changed is blocked. Also add some comments about the get/put_task_struct usage to avoid confusion.
