Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization during kprobe registration and unregistration. These changes coupled with the arch kprobe changes (next in series): a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes. b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.

由 Corey Minyard 提交于
This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few minor style updates). The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

This patch passes the file handle supplied in iattr to userspace, in case the ->setattr() was invoked from sys_ftruncate(). This solves the permission checking (or lack thereof) in ftruncate() for the class of filesystems served by an unprivileged userspace process.

The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call. For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.

由 Zach Brown 提交于
AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before testing if that resulting total was over the global limit. This let innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task that was crossing the limit. This serializes the _nr accounting with a spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals. Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of requests by the syscall interface. The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context. Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the limit.

This extends the API somewhat to allow for platform-specific VCR reading and writing. Some platforms (like SH4-202) implement the VCR in a split VCRL and VCRH, but end up being in reverse order or have other quirks that need to be dealt with, so we add a set of superhyway_ops per-bus to accomodate this. We also have to extend the per-device resources somewhat, as some devices now conveniently split control and data blocks. So we allow a platform to register its set of SuperHyway devices via superhyway_add_devices() with the control block always ordered as the first resource (as this is the one that userspace cares about).

Include autoconf.h into every kernel compilation via the gcc command line using -imacros. This ensures that we have the kernel configuration included from the start, rather than relying on each file having #include <linux/config.h> as appropriate.

Adds a phy_mask field to struct mii_bus and uses it. This field indicates each phy address to be ignored when probing the mdio bus. This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be converted to the generic phy layer among other drivers. Many systems lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return 0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm working on also makes use of this mask.

This adds support for the Nvidia Geforce 7800 series of cards to the nvidiafb framebuffer driver. All it does is add the PCI device id for the 7800, 7800 GTX, 7800 GO, and 7800 GTX GO cards to the module device table for the nvidiafb.ko driver, so that nvidiafb.ko will actually work on these cards. I also added the relevant PCI device ids to linux/pci_ids.h I tested it on my 7800 GTX here and it works like a charm. I now can get framebuffer support on this card! Woo hoo!!

RFC 3530 states that for OPEN_DOWNGRADE "The share_access and share_deny bits specified must be exactly equal to the union of the share_access and share_deny bits specified for some subset of the OPENs in effect for current openowner on the current file. Setattr is currently violating the NFSv4 rules for OPEN_DOWNGRADE in that it may cause a downgrade from OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH to OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE despite the fact that there exists no open file with O_WRONLY access mode. Fix the problem by replacing nfs4_find_state() with a modified version of nfs_find_open_context(). Signed-off-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

由 Tim Schmielau 提交于
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2). This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset.
