* bitops: introduce CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LEAkinobu Mita2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE to tell whether to use generic implementation of find_*_bit_le() in lib/find_next_bit.c or not. For now we select CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE for all architectures which enable CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT. But m68knommu wants to define own faster find_next_zero_bit_le() and continues using generic find_next_{,zero_}bit().

* asm-generic: change little-endian bitops to take any pointer typesAkinobu Mita2011-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the little-endian bitops take any pointer types by changing the prototypes and adding casts in the preprocessor macros. That would seem to at least make all the filesystem code happier, and they can continue to do just something like #define ext2_set_bit __test_and_set_bit_le (or whatever the exact sequence ends up being).

* zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possibleJim Keniston2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter values. For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e., during an oops or panic) or at boot time. I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits (positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

* kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

* printk: allow setting DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL via KconfigMandeep Singh Baines2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg. To make it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL Kconfig-settable. That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any messages <= KERN_WARNING.

* printk: use %pK for /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modulesKees Cook2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and /sys/module/*/sections/*. Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in /proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their starting life as ELF section offsets.

* kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by defaultDon Zickus2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with. Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

* oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom killDavid Rientjes2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The oom killer is extremely verbose for machines with a large number of cpus and/or nodes. This verbosity can often be harmful if it causes other important messages to be scrolled from the kernel log and incurs a signicant time delay, specifically for kernels with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT > 8. This patch causes only memory information to be displayed for nodes that are allowed by current's cpuset when dumping the VM state. Information for all other nodes is irrelevant to the oom condition; we don't care if there's an abundance of memory elsewhere if we can't access it. This only affects the behavior of dumping memory information when an oom is triggered. Other dumps, such as for sysrq+m, still display the unfiltered form when using the existing show_mem() interface. Additionally, the per-cpu pageset statistics are extremely verbose in oom killer output, so it is now suppressed. This removes nodes_weight(current->mems_allowed) * (1 + nr_cpus) lines from the oom killer output. Callers may use __show_mem(SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES) to filter disallowed nodes.

Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address (preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along with the debugobjects type. Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that. So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries, we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them.. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be changed into the bigger one. (So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.) radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot(): 1178 while (ret < max_items) { 1179 unsigned int slots_found; 1180 unsigned long next_index; /* Index of next search */ 1181 1182 if (cur_index > max_index) 1183 break; 1184 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret, 1185 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index, tag); 1186 ret += slots_found; // cannot update ret because slots_found == 0. // so, this while loops forever. 1187 if (next_index == 0) 1188 break; 1189 cur_index = next_index; 1190 } (2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index? Assuming the following: - the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL. - the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other. - In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0. a) __lookup_tag() notices that the tag is set. 1005 static unsigned int 1006 __lookup_tag(struct radix_tree_node *slot, void ***results, unsigned long index, 1007 unsigned int max_items, unsigned long *next_index, unsigned int tag) 1008 { 1009 unsigned int nr_found = 0; 1010 unsigned int shift, height; 1011 1012 height = slot->height; 1013 if (height == 0) 1014 goto out; 1015 shift = (height-1) * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT; 1016 1017 while (height > 0) { 1018 unsigned long i = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK ; 1019 1020 for (;;) { 1021 if (tag_get(slot, tag, i)) 1022 break; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * the index is not updated yet. b) __lookup_tag() notices that the slot is NULL. 1023 index &= ~((1UL << shift) - 1); 1024 index += 1UL << shift; 1025 if (index == 0) 1026 goto out; /* 32-bit wraparound */ 1027 i++; 1028 if (i == RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE) 1029 goto out; 1030 } 1031 height--; 1032 if (height == 0) { /* Bottom level: grab some items */ ... 1055 } 1056 shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT; 1057 slot = rcu_dereference_raw(slot->slots[i]); 1058 if (slot == NULL) 1059 break; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ c) __lookup_tag() doesn't update the index and return with 0. 1060 } 1061 out: 1062 *next_index = index; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1063 return nr_found; 1064 } (3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set? Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY, even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course, some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range. (radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() is called only from tag_pages_for_writeback()) 640 unsigned long radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged(struct radix_tree_root *root, 641 unsigned long *first_indexp, unsigned long last_index, 642 unsigned long nr_to_tag, 643 unsigned int iftag, unsigned int settag) 644 { 645 unsigned int height = root->height; 646 struct radix_tree_path path[height]; 647 struct radix_tree_path *pathp = path; 648 struct radix_tree_node *slot; 649 unsigned int shift; 650 unsigned long tagged = 0; 651 unsigned long index = *first_indexp; 652 653 last_index = min(last_index, radix_tree_maxindex(height)); 654 if (index > last_index) 655 return 0; 656 if (!nr_to_tag) 657 return 0; 658 if (!root_tag_get(root, iftag)) { 659 *first_indexp = last_index + 1; 660 return 0; 661 } 662 if (height == 0) { 663 *first_indexp = last_index + 1; 664 root_tag_set(root, settag); 665 return 1; 666 } ... 733 root_tag_set(root, settag); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 734 *first_indexp = index; 735 736 return tagged; 737 } As the result, there is no radix_tree_node which is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE but the root tag(radix_tree_root) is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE.

* / kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes2011-01-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

| * ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type supportHuang Ying2011-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support. Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that. Known issue: - Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe. v2: - adjust printk format per comments.
