commit 11c3b5c3e08f4d855cbef52883c266b9ab9df879 Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Date: Tue Dec 16 12:24:56 2008 -0800 driver core: move klist_children into private structure Broke our parisc build pretty badly because we touch the klists directly in three cases (AGP, SBA and GSC). Although GregKH will revert this patch, there's no reason we should be using the iterators directly, we can just move to the standard device_for_each_child() API.

2009-03-13ps3/block: Replace mtd/ps3vram by block/ps3vramGeert Uytterhoeven6-776/+873
Convert the PS3 Video RAM Storage Driver from an MTD driver to a plain block device driver. The ps3vram driver exposes unused video RAM on the PS3 as a block device suitable for storage or swap. Fast data transfer is achieved using a local cache in system RAM and DMA transfers via the GPU. The new driver is ca. 50% faster for reading, and ca. 10% for writing.

2009-03-13tracing: move binary buffers into per cpu directorySteven Rostedt1-21/+5
The binary_buffers directory in /debugfs/tracing held the files to read the trace buffers in a binary format. This held one file per CPU buffer. But we also have a per_cpu directory that holds a way to read the pretty-print formats. This patch moves the binary buffers into the per_cpu_directory: # ls /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/ trace trace_pipe trace_pipe_raw The new name is called "trace_pipe_raw". The binary buffers always acted similar to trace_pipe, except that they produce raw data. Requested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case with dma_alloc_from_coherent(). Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing beyond the end of the bitmap.

If the stack tracing is disabled (by default) the stack_trace file will only contain the header: # cat /debug/tracing/stack_trace Depth Size Location (0 entries) ----- ---- -------- This can be frustrating to a developer that does not realize that the stack tracer is disabled. This patch adds the following text: # cat /debug/tracing/stack_trace Depth Size Location (0 entries) ----- ---- -------- # # Stack tracer disabled # # To enable the stack tracer, either add 'stacktrace' to the # kernel command line # or 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled' # Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-03-13tracing: export trace formats to user spaceSteven Rostedt1-5/+114
The binary printk saves a pointer to the format string in the ring buffer. On output, the format is processed. But if the user is reading the ring buffer through a binary interface, the pointer is meaningless. This patch creates a file called printk_formats that maps the pointers to the formats. # cat /debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff80713d40 : "irq_handler_entry: irq=%d handler=%s\n" 0xffffffff80713d48 : "lock_acquire: %s%s%s\n" 0xffffffff80713d50 : "lock_release: %s\n" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-13tracing: have event_trace_printk use static tracerSteven Rostedt2-10/+17
Impact: speed up on event tracing The event_trace_printk is currently a wrapper function that calls trace_vprintk. Because it uses a variable for the fmt it misses out on the optimization of using the binary printk. This patch makes event_trace_printk into a macro wrapper to use the fmt as the same as the trace_printks. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-03-13tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats stringsFrederic Weisbecker8-39/+213
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

2009-03-13tracing: show that buffer size is not expandedSteven Rostedt1-2/+10
Impact: do not confuse user on small trace buffer sizes When the system boots up, the trace buffer is small to conserve memory. It is only two pages per online CPU. When the tracer is used, it expands to the default value. This can confuse the user if they look at the buffer size and see only 7, but then later they see 1408. # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 7 # echo sched_switch > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 1408 This patch tries to help remove this confustion by showing that the buffer has not been expanded. # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-13ring-buffer: remove unneeded get_online_cpusSteven Rostedt1-76/+14
Impact: speed up and remove possible races The get_online_cpus was added to the ring buffer because the original design would free the ring buffer on a CPU that was being taken off line. The final design kept the ring buffer around even when the CPU was taken off line. This is to allow a user to still read the information on that ring buffer. Most of the get_online_cpus are no longer needed since the ring buffer will not disappear from the use cases.

2009-03-13ocfs2: Use xs->bucket to set xattr value outsideTao Ma1-6/+20
A long time ago, xs->base is allocated a 4K size and all the contents in the bucket are copied to the it. Now we use ocfs2_xattr_bucket to abstract xattr bucket and xs->base is initialized to the start of the bu_bhs[0]. So xs->base + offset will overflow when the value root is stored outside the first block. Then why we can survive the xattr test by now? It is because we always read the bucket contiguously now and kernel mm allocate continguous memory for us. We are lucky, but we should fix it. So just get the right value root as other callers do.

2009-03-13RDMA/nes: Don't allow userspace QPs to use STag zeroFaisal Latif3-5/+37
STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this driver. The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the driver now registers a special MR for this data.

2009-03-13fs: new inode i_state corruption fixNick Piggin2-1/+15
There was a report of a data corruption http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to reproduce the problem. During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or synchronisation problme. i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In my case it would look like this: CPU0 CPU1 unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode() reg <- inode->i_state reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC reg -> inode->i_state Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again. Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them: inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory either. After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes. I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a real problem for me.

2009-03-13acer-wmi: fix regression in backlight detectionMichael Spang1-1/+1
Currently we disable the Acer WMI backlight device if there is no ACPI backlight device. As a result, we end up with no backlight device at all. We should instead disable it if there is an ACPI device, as the other laptop drivers do. This regression was introduced in febf2d9 ("Acer-WMI: fingers off backlight if video.ko is serving this functionality"). Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around febf2d9. The changes to the other drivers look correct; see e.g. a598c82f for a similar but correct change. The regression is also in 2.6.28.
