When buf->subbufs_produced wraps around after UINT_MAX and buf->subbufs_consumed is still < UINT_MAX, the condition if (buf->subbufs_consumed > buf->subbufs_produced) will be true even for certain valid values of subbufs_consumed.

It would be nice to be able to extract the dmesg log from a vmcore file without needing to keep the debug symbols for the running kernel handy all the time. We have a facility to do this in /proc/vmcore. This patch adds the log_buf and log_end symbols to the vmcoreinfo area so that tools (like makedumpfile) can easily extract the dmesg logs from a vmcore image.

2009-04-03parport: netmos 9845 & 9855 1P4S fixesPhilippe De Muyter1-5/+25
netmos serial/parallel adapters come in different flavour differing only by the number of parallel and serial ports, which are encoded in the subdevice ID. Last fix of Christian Pellegrin for 9855 2P2S broke support for 9855 1P4S, and works only by side-effect for the first parallel port of a 2P2S, as this first parallel port is found by reading the second addr entry of (struct parport_pc_pci) cards[netmos_9855], which is not initialized, and hence has value 0, which happens to be the BAR of the first parallel port. netmos_9xx5_combo entry in (struct parport_pc_pci) cards[], which is used for a 9845 1P4S must also be fixed for the parallel port support when there are 4 serial ports because this entry currently gives 2 as BAR index for the parallel port. Actually, in this case, BAR 2 is the 3rd serial port while the parallel port is at BAR 4. I fixed 9845 1P4S and 9855 1P4S support, while preserving 9855 2P2S support, - by creating a netmos_9855_2p entry and using it for 9855 boards with 2 parallel ports : 9855 2P2S and 9855 2P0S boards, - and by allowing netmos_parallel_init to change not only the number of parallel ports (0 or 1), but making it also change the BAR index of the parallel port when the serial ports are before the parallel port. PS: the netmos_9855_2p entry in (struct pciserial_board) pci_parport_serial_boards[] is needed because netmos_parallel_init has no clean way to replace FL_BASE2 by FL_BASE4 in the description of the serial ports in function of the number of parallel ports on the card. Tested with 9845 1P4S, 9855 1P4S and 9855 2P2S boards.

2009-04-03edac: new ppc4xx driver moduleGrant Erickson4-1/+1630
This adds support for an EDAC memory controller adaptation driver for the "ibm,sdram-4xx-ddr2" ECC controller realized in the AMCC PowerPC 405EX[r]. At present, this driver has been developed and tested against the controller realization in the AMCC PPC405EX[r] on the AMCC Kilauea and Haleakala boards (256 MiB w/o ECC memory soldered onto the board) and a proprietary board based on those designs (128 MiB ECC memory, also soldered onto the board). In the future, dynamic feature detection and handling needs to be added for the other realizations of this controller found in the 440SP, 440SPe, 460EX, 460GT and 460SX. Eventually, this driver will likely be evolved and adapted to the above variant realizations of this controller as well as broken apart to handle the other known ECC-capable controllers prevalent in other PPC4xx processors: - IBM SDRAM (405GP, 405CR and 405EP) "ibm,sdram-4xx" - IBM DDR1 (440GP, 440GX, 440EP and 440GR) "ibm,sdram-4xx-ddr" - Denali DDR1/DDR2 (440EPX and 440GRX) "denali,sdram-4xx-ddr2" [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Grant Erickson <gerickson@nuovations.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Thompson <dougthompson@xmission.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-04-03pids: kill signal_struct-> __pgrp/__session and friendsOleg Nesterov5-51/+12
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr(). task_session_nr() has no callers since 2e2ba22ea4fd4bb85f0fa37c521066db6775cbef, we can remove it. task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and fs/coda. This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills __pgrp/__session and the related helpers. The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense anyway.

2009-04-03pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safeOleg Nesterov2-22/+36
Inho, the safety rules for vnr/nr_ns helpers are horrible and buggy. task_pid_nr_ns(task) needs rcu/tasklist depending on task == current. As for "special" pids, vnr/nr_ns helpers always need rcu. However, if task != current, they are unsafe even under rcu lock, we can't trust task->group_leader without the special checks. And almost every helper has a callsite which needs a fix. Also, it is a bit annoying that the implementations of, say, task_pgrp_vnr() and task_pgrp_nr_ns() are not "symmetrical". This patch introduces the new helper, __task_pid_nr_ns(), which is always safe to use, and turns all other helpers into the trivial wrappers. After this I'll send another patch which converts task_tgid_xxx() as well, they're are a bit special.

2009-04-03pids: improve get_task_pid() to fix the unsafe sys_wait4()->task_pgrp()Oleg Nesterov2-1/+3
sys_wait4() does get_pid(task_pgrp(current)), this is not safe. We can add rcu lock/unlock around, but we already have get_task_pid() which can be improved to handle the special pids in more reliable manner.

2009-04-03pids: document task_pgrp/task_session is not safe without tasklist/rcuOleg Nesterov1-0/+5
Even if task == current, it is not safe to dereference the result of task_pgrp/task_session. We can race with another thread which changes the special pid via setpgid/setsid. Document this. The next 2 patches give an example of the unsafe usage, we have more bad users.

Arne de Bruijn points out that commit 76fdbb25f963de5dc1e308325f0578a2f92b1c2d ("coredump masking: bound suid_dumpable sysctl") mistakenly limits lease-break-time instead of suid_dumpable.

2009-04-03hpet: fix the possibility of insane return value of hpet_calibrate() against SMIYasunori Goto1-1/+21
hpet_calibrate() has a possibility of miss-calibration due to SMI. If SMI interrupts in the while loop of calibration, then return value will be big. This change calibrates until stabilizing by the return value with a small value.

As pointed out by Cedric Le Goater (in response to Alexey's original comment wrt mqns), ipc_sysctl.c and utsname_sysctl.c are using CONFIG_PROC_FS, not CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, to determine whether to define the proc_handlers.

2009-04-03ipc: make shm_get_stat() more robustTony Battersby1-2/+4
shm_get_stat() assumes idr_find(&shm_ids(ns).ipcs_idr) returns "struct shmid_kernel *"; all other callers assume that it returns "struct kern_ipc_perm *". This works because "struct kern_ipc_perm" is currently the first member of "struct shmid_kernel", but it would be better to use container_of() to prevent future breakage.

2009-04-03workqueue: avoid recursion in run_workqueue()Lai Jiangshan1-30/+11
1) lockdep will complain when run_workqueue() performs recursion. 2) The recursive implementation of run_workqueue() means that flush_workqueue() and its documentation are inconsistent. This may hide deadlocks and other bugs. 3) The recursion in run_workqueue() will poison cwq->current_work, but flush_work() and __cancel_work_timer(), etcetera need a reliable cwq->current_work.
