      [PATCH] allow /proc/config.gz to be built as a module · f2443ab6
      Ross Biro 提交于
      The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in
      fact possible to build it as a module.
      
      In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for
      compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was
      used to build vmlinux.
      
      But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to
      build your configs.o with a different .config.

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

      [PATCH] Allow early_param and identical __setup to exist · 33df0d19

      We currently assume that boot parameters which are handled by
      early_param() will not overlap boot parameters handled by __setup: if
      they do, behaviour is dependent on link order, usually meaning __setup
      will not get called.
      
      ACPI wants to use early_param("pci"), and pci uses __setup("pci="), so
      we modify the core to let them coexist: "pci=noacpi" will now get
      passed to both.

      Driver Core: add ability for drivers to do a threaded probe · d779249e
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      This adds the infrastructure for drivers to do a threaded probe, and
      waits at init time for all currently outstanding probes to complete.
      
      A new kernel thread will be created when the probe() function for the
      driver is called, if the multithread_probe bit is set in the driver
      saying it can support this kind of operation.
      
      I have tested this with USB and PCI, and it works, and shaves off a lot
      of time in the boot process, but there are issues with finding root boot
      disks, and some USB drivers assume that this can never happen, so it is
      currently not enabled for any bus type.  Individual drivers can enable
      this right now if they wish, and bus authors can selectivly turn it on
      as well, once they determine that their subsystem will work properly
      with it.

      [PATCH] lockdep: core · fbb9ce95
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
      reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and
      you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.
      
      Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
      voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output
      can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.
      
      What does the lock validator do?  It "observes" and maps all locking rules as
      they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks,
      rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a
      new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of
      rules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the
      new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the
      new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.
      
      When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are
      considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task
      context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing
      locking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate
      scenarios.  This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all
      rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical
      certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator
      implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not
      corrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals
      of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and
      Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]
      
      Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also
      enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races
      via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs
      drastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in
      the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and
      which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.
      That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a
      race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components
      for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its
      short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
      actually caused a real deadlock.
      
      To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per
      "lock instance", but per "lock-class".  For example, all struct inode objects
      in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,
      then there are 10,000 lock objects.  But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock
      type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are
      "unified" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class
      approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single
      (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many
      different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The
      set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.
      
      To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a
      portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:
      
       lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]
       direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]

       in-process chains:                    1065
       stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]
       combined max dependencies:         2033928
       hardirq-safe locks:                     24
       hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176
       softirq-safe locks:                     53
       softirq-unsafe locks:                  137
       irq-safe locks:                         59
       irq-unsafe locks:                      176
      
      The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,
      and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

      [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging · 9a11b49a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Generic lock debugging:
      
       - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
         subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
      
       - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
         the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
         hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
      
       - ability to do silent tests
      
       - check lock freeing in vfree too.
      
       - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
         turn off more expensive debugging features.
      
      There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
      stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
      classes.  (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
      checks whether we are holding a lock already)
      
      Here are the current debugging options:
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y
      CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
      
      which do:
      
       config DEBUG_MUTEXES
                bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks"
      
       config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC

      [PATCH] audit: path-based rules · f368c07d
      Amy Griffis 提交于
      In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent
      directories of paths specified in audit rules.  When audit's inotify
      event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the
      filesystem event.  If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its
      filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that
      inotify watch.
      
      To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based
      auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory.  Given
      a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:
      
          passwd modified -- audit event logged
          passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated
          bar renamed     -- rule removed
          foo renamed     -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to
      		       the new location
      
      Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem
      objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance.  This
      patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this
      situation.
      
      The patch is relative to the audit git tree:
      http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary
      and uses the inotify kernel API:
