2006-06-29Fix vsnprintf off-by-one bugLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte. The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]".

2006-06-29[PATCH] Add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPLArjan van de Ven1-0/+16
Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL. These will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the kernel and are on the way out. When a module uses such a symbol, a warning is printk'd at modprobe time. The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary. This patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config option.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL bufferJeremy Fitzhardinge1-32/+33
This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

free blocks counter The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

2006-06-23[PATCH] buglet in radix_tree_tag_setPeter Zijlstra1-2/+1
The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it should also be a BUG. Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree): radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1); to fail silently, but when preceded by: radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item); it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert.

2006-06-23[PATCH] radix-tree: direct dataNick Piggin1-81/+111
The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd. On 64-bit machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in pagecache. Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits. Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions (the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache savings will mean it's actually a speedup). On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in pagecache. Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be improved. This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-23[PATCH] change gen_pool allocator to not touch managed memoryDean Nelson1-142/+121
Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate the touching of the actual memory being allocated. Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator (arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required. Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed.

2006-06-23[PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent versionRichard Purdie18-1910/+1732
Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3. The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%) than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32). For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to change the zlib_deflate code. Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate. This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to work. This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real world file read speed improvement. This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value. We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

2006-04-21[RBTREE] Remove dead code in rb_erase()David Woodhouse1-10/+5
Observe rb_erase(), when the victim node 'old' has two children so neither of the simple cases at the beginning are taken. Observe that it effectively does an 'rb_next()' operation to find the next (by value) node in the tree. That is; we go to the victim's right-hand child and then follow left-hand pointers all the way down the tree as far as we can until we find the next node 'node'. We end up with 'node' being either the same immediate right-hand child of 'old', or one of its descendants on the far left-hand side. For a start, we _know_ that 'node' has a parent. We can drop that check. We also know that if 'node's parent is 'old', then 'node' is the right-hand child of its parent. And that if 'node's parent is _not_ 'old', then 'node' is the left-hand child of its parent. So instead of checking for 'node->rb_parent == old' in one place and also checking 'node's heritage separately when we're trying to change its link from its parent, we can shuffle things around a bit and do it like this...

2006-04-19[PATCH] Kconfig.debug: Set DEBUG_MUTEX to off by defaultTim Chen1-1/+1
DEBUG_MUTEX flag is on by default in current kernel configuration. During performance testing, we saw mutex debug functions like mutex_debug_check_no_locks_freed (called by kfree()) is expensive as it goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the checking. For benchmarks such as Volanomark and Hackbench, we have seen more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms. We suggest to set DEBUG_MUTEX off by default. Or at least do that later when we feel that the mutex changes in the current code have stabilized.

2006-04-14[PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollableNeilBrown1-0/+1
It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-04-11[PATCH] Clean up arch-overrides in linux/string.hKyle McMartin1-0/+2
Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and make strcspn overrideable. Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the rest of the file.

2006-04-11[PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementationsKyle McMartin1-0/+1
While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it." I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines __HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.
