2011-08-15lguest: allow booting guest with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=yRusty Russell1-0/+3
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE code tries to align the unpack destination to the value of 'kernel_alignment' in the setup_hdr. If that's 0, it tries to unpack to address 0, which in fact causes the gunzip code to call 'error("Out of memory while allocating output buffer")'. The bootloader (ie. the lguest Launcher in this case) should be doing setting this field; the normal bzImage is 16M, we can use the same.

There are three choices: vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls. vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code. vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

2011-08-05PM / Runtime: Allow _put_sync() from interrupts-disabled contextKevin Hilman1-5/+5
Currently the use of pm_runtime_put_sync() is not safe from interrupts-disabled context because rpm_idle() will release the spinlock and enable interrupts for the idle callbacks. This enables interrupts during a time where interrupts were expected to be disabled, and can have strange side effects on drivers that expected interrupts to be disabled. This is not a bug since the documentation clearly states that only _put_sync_suspend() is safe in IRQ-safe mode. However, pm_runtime_put_sync() could be made safe when in IRQ-safe mode by releasing the spinlock but not re-enabling interrupts, which is what this patch aims to do. Problem was found when using some buggy drivers that set pm_runtime_irq_safe() and used _put_sync() in interrupts-disabled context.

2011-08-05cfq-iosched: Add documentation about idlingVivek Goyal1-0/+71
There are always questions about why CFQ is idling on various conditions. Recent ones is Christoph asking again why to idle on REQ_NOIDLE. His assertion is that XFS is relying more and more on workqueues and is concerned that CFQ idling on IO from every workqueue will impact XFS badly. So he suggested that I add some more documentation about CFQ idling and that can provide more clarity on the topic and also gives an opprotunity to poke a hole in theory and lead to improvements. So here is my attempt at that. Any comments are welcome. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Update kernel-parameters.txt to point users to the authoritative comment for name_to_dev_t. In addition, updates other places where some name_to_dev_t behavior was discussed. All other references to root= appear to be for explicit sample usage or just side comments when discussing other kernel parameters.

2011-08-04fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directoryAkinobu Mita1-2/+1
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs. But it can only export it in debugfs root directory. Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem. The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request. init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a directory in the arbitrary directory and replace init_fault_attr_dentries().

2011-08-04cpuidle: create bootparam "cpuidle.off=1"Len Brown1-0/+3
useful for disabling cpuidle to fall back to architecture-default idle loop cpuidle drivers and governors will fail to register. on x86 they'll say so: intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to (null) ACPI: acpi_idle yielding to (null) Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2011-08-03ACPI, APEI, EINJ Param support is disabled by defaultHuang Ying1-2/+9
EINJ parameter support is only usable for some specific BIOS. Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support it. But now, we found it will cause issue (memory overwriting) for some BIOS. So param support is disabled by default and only enabled when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is explicitly specified.
