* Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handlingBadari Pulavarty2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated namespaces. But they have different code paths. This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for feedback. - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to caller to attach it to right process. - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy. - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines. - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON() just incase. - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of copy_*_ns() instead.

* Use stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driverPrarit Bhargava2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace call_smp_function with stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver. CPU A has done read_lock(&lock) CPU B has done write_lock_irq(&lock) and is waiting for A to release the lock. A third CPU calls call_smp_function and issues the IPI. CPU A takes CPU C's IPI. CPU B is waiting with interrupts disabled and does not see the IPI. CPU C is stuck waiting for CPU B to respond to the IPI. Deadlock. The solution is to use stop_machine_run instead of call_smp_function (call_smp_function should not be called in situations where the CPUs may be suspended).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and free pages. This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for other purposes. Also, the memory needed to store the bitmaps is allocated when necessary (ie. before the suspend) and freed after the resume which is more reasonable. The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some nice simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it. I am going to implement them separately in the future.

* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creationChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a new macro KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>) to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct. Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary. Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.

* cpusets: allow TIF_MEMDIE threads to allocate anywhereDavid Rientjes2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OOM killed tasks have access to memory reserves as specified by the TIF_MEMDIE flag in the hopes that it will quickly exit. If such a task has memory allocations constrained by cpusets, we may encounter a deadlock if a blocking task cannot exit because it cannot allocate the necessary memory. We allow tasks that have the TIF_MEMDIE flag to allocate memory anywhere, including outside its cpuset restriction, so that it can quickly die regardless of whether it is __GFP_HARDWALL.

* Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial valuesChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init. However, it may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before smp_init. So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init() where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot. Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they could take. If we have accidental users before these values are determined then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays to be allocated. If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste some memory for early boot users.

Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are needed in common code. They are: arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec. The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq. set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa. The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure it's not going to fail the irq allocation. Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else for failure.

* rework pm_ops pm_disk_mode, kill misuseJohannes Berg2007-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series cleans up some misconceptions about pm_ops. Some users of the pm_ops structure attempt to use it to stop the user from entering suspend to disk, this, however, is not possible since the user can always use "shutdown" in /sys/power/disk and then the pm_ops are never invoked. Also, platforms that don't support suspend to disk simply should not allow configuring SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (read the help text on it, it only selects suspend to disk and nothing else, all the other stuff depends on PM). The pm_ops structure is actually intended to provide a way to enter platform-defined sleep states (currently supported states are "standby" and "mem" (suspend to ram)) and additionally (if SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is configured) allows a platform to support a platform specific way to enter low-power mode once everything has been saved to disk. This is currently only used by ACPI (S4). This patch: The pm_ops.pm_disk_mode is used in totally bogus ways since nobody really seems to understand what it actually does. This patch clarifies the pm_disk_mode description. It also removes all the arm and sh users that think they can veto suspend to disk via pm_ops; not so since the user can always do echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk, they need to find a better way involving Kconfig or such. ACPI is the only user left with a non-zero pm_disk_mode. The patch also sets the default mode to shutdown again, but when a new pm_ops is registered its pm_disk_mode is selected as default, that way the default stays for ACPI where it is apparently required.

* Extend print_symbol capabilityRobert Peterson2007-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today's print_symbol function dumps a kernel symbol with printk. This patch extends the functionality of kallsyms.c so that the symbol lookup function may be used without the printk. This is useful for modules that want to dump symbols elsewhere, for example, to debugfs. I intend to use the new function call in the GFS2 file system (which will be a separate patch).

* libata/IDE: remove combined mode quirkJeff Garzik2007-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and devices found using normal resource reservation methods. This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode, and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode. Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM performance. For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware. In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

* | make SysRq-T show all tasks againIngo Molnar2007-04-27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | show_state() (SysRq-T) developed the buggy habbit of not showing TASK_RUNNING tasks. This was due to the mistaken belief that state_filter == -1 would be a pass-through filter - while in reality it did not let TASK_RUNNING == 0 p->state values through. Fix this by restoring the original '!state_filter means all tasks' special-case i had in the original version. Test-built and test-booted on i686, SysRq-T now works as intended.

* [NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_tEric Dumazet2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain 'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct sock. This has some drawbacks : - Fixed resolution of micro second. - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16 I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution. As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...) Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS) Note : this patch includes a bug correction in compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> CC: John find <linux.kernel@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.
