2007-07-20libata: implement AC_ERR_NCQTejun Heo1-0/+1
When an NCQ command fails, all commands in flight are aborted and the offending one is reported using log page 10h. Depending on controller characteristics and LLD implementation, all commands may appear as having a device error due to shared TF status making it hard to determine what's actually going on. This patch adds AC_ERR_NCQ, marks the command reported by log page 10h with it and print extra "<F>" after the error report for the command to help distinguishing the offending command.

2007-07-20libata: improve EH report formattingTejun Heo1-10/+3
Requiring LLDs to format multiple error description messages properly doesn't work too well. Help LLDs a bit by making ata_ehi_push_desc() insert ", " on each invocation. __ata_ehi_push_desc() is the raw version without the automatic separator. While at it, make ehi_desc interface proper functions instead of macros. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2007-07-20libata: add @is_cmd to ata_tf_to_fis()Tejun Heo1-1/+2

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2-4/+2
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-20user namespace: fix copy_user_ns return valueSerge E. Hallyn1-1/+1
When a CONFIG_USER_NS=n and a user tries to unshare some namespace other than the user namespace, the dummy copy_user_ns returns NULL rather than the old_ns. This value then gets assigned to task->nsproxy->user_ns, so that a subsequent setuid, which uses task->nsproxy->user_ns, causes a NULL pointer deref. Fix this by returning old_ns.

2007-07-19lguest: the guest codeRusty Russell2-0/+133
lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux. Unlike kvm it doesn't need VT/SVM hardware. Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go". Unlike both, it's 5000 lines and self-contained. Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile). But given its hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which it supplies a complete example for. There's also a 64-bit version being worked on and other craziness. But most of all, lguest is awesome fun! Too much of the kernel is a big ball of hair. lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts which scream "fork me!".

2007-07-19lockstat: measure lock bouncingPeter Zijlstra1-1/+16
__acquire | lock _____ | \ | __contended | | | wait | _______/ |/ | __acquired | __release | unlock We measure acquisition and contention bouncing. This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance. Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we move __acquired into the generic path. __acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it. __contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable locks) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-07-19lockstat: core infrastructurePeter Zijlstra1-0/+53
Introduce the core lock statistics code. Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few call-sites that encounter contention are tracked. Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of a too coarse locking scheme. Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective. 1) lock 2) ... do stuff .. unlock 3) The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the hold-time. The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure for lock instrumentation. Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks: lock() lock_acquire() _lock() ... code protected by lock ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention. lock_contended() - used to measure contention events lock_acquired() - completion of the contention These are then placed the following way: lock() lock_acquire() if (!_try_lock()) lock_contended() _lock() lock_acquired() ... do locked stuff ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform dependent lock primitive implementations.) It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using: /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat (esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke unneeded ifdefs] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-19fix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdepPeter Zijlstra2-10/+3
Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock statistics. It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that encountered contention. It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number of event can give the avg). All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read (shared state). The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is minimized via having no global cachemisses. This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance. This patch: raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself relies on it.

2007-07-19fs: introduce vfs_path_lookupJosef 'Jeff' Sipek1-0/+2
Stackable file systems, among others, frequently need to lookup paths or path components starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace (identified by a dentry and a vfsmount). Currently, such file systems use lookup_one_len, which is frowned upon [1] as it does not pass the lookup intent along; not passing a lookup intent, for example, can trigger BUG_ON's when stacking on top of NFSv4. The first patch introduces a new lookup function to allow lookup starting from an arbitrary point in the namespace. This approach has been suggested by Christoph Hellwig [2]. The second patch changes sunrpc to use vfs_path_lookup. The third patch changes nfsctl.c to use vfs_path_lookup. The fourth patch marks link_path_walk static. The fifth, and last patch, unexports path_walk because it is no longer unnecessary to call it directly, and using the new vfs_path_lookup is cleaner. For example, the following snippet of code, looks up "some/path/component" in a directory pointed to by parent_{dentry,vfsmnt}: err = vfs_path_lookup(parent_dentry, parent_vfsmnt, "some/path/component", 0, &nd); if (!err) { /* exits */ ... /* once done, release the references */ path_release(&nd); } else if (err == -ENOENT) { /* doesn't exist */ } else { /* other error */ } VFS functions such as lookup_create can be used on the nameidata structure to pass the create intent to the file system.

2007-07-19mm: variable length argument supportOllie Wild2-6/+21
Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from the old mm into the new mm. We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out where the stack should be, we move it downwards. It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is inactive.

2007-07-19audit: rework execve auditPeter Zijlstra1-0/+1
The purpose of audit_bprm() is to log the argv array to a userspace daemon at the end of the execve system call. Since user-space hasn't had time to run, this array is still in pristine state on the process' stack; so no need to copy it, we can just grab it from there. In order to minimize the damage to audit_log_*() copy each string into a temporary kernel buffer first. Currently the audit code requires that the full argument vector fits in a single packet. So currently it does clip the argv size to a (sysctl) limit, but only when execve auditing is enabled. If the audit protocol gets extended to allow for multiple packets this check can be removed.

2007-07-19jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for usersMichael Ellerman1-0/+1
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

AFAICT now that jprobe.entry is a void *, JPROBE_ENTRY doesn't do anything useful - so remove it ..

2007-07-19jprobes: make struct jprobe.entry a void *Michael Ellerman1-1/+1
Currently jprobe.entry is a kprobe_opcode_t *, but that's a lie. On some platforms it doesn't point to an opcode at all, it points to a function descriptor. It's really a pointer to something that the arch code can turn into a function entry point. And that's what actually happens, none of the generic code ever looks at jprobe.entry, it's only ever dereferenced by arch code. So just make it a void *.
