Locking fixes. Locking was totally lacking for the mconsole_devices, which got a spin lock, and the unplugged pages data, which got a mutex. The locking of the mconsole console output code was confused. Now, the console_lock (renamed to client_lock) protects the clients list.

The registration of host network transports needed some locking. The transport list itself is locked, but calls to the registration routines are not. This is compensated for by checking that a transport structure is not yet on any list. I also took the opportunity to const all fields in the transport structure except the list, which obviously can be modified.

I noticed that errors happening while hotplugging devices from the host were never returned back to the mconsole client. In some cases, success was returned instead of even an information-free error. This patch cleans that up by having the low-level configuration code pass back an error string along with an error code. At the top level, which knows whether it is early boot time or responding to an mconsole request, the string is printk'd or returned to the mconsole client. There are also whitespace and trivial code cleanups in the surrounding code.

Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here, including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes. The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking, it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the lock needed by the mconsole request. As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k. Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h, linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in a C file as the only simple solution.

Recent as(1) doesn't think that . terminates a macro name, so getuser.l is _not_ treated as invoking getuser with .l as the first argument. arch/m68k/math-emu relies on old behaviour, so it gets a lot of undefined macros with more or less current binutils. Note that this behaviour remains in all recent versions and is unrelated to another binutils problems we used to have for a while (having (%a0)+ parsed as two arguments). This one is there to stay; it's an intentional and documented change. .irp <identifier> <words> [text] .endr expands to a copy of text per each word, with \<identifier> replaced with corresponding word. Again, what happens depends on whether gas_ident.x is treated as one or as two tokens; in the former case we'll get old_gas incremented once, in the latter - twice. The rest is obvious. Unlike .macro argument list _anything_ is explicitly allowed after .irp <identifier>; here we are on very safe ground. And yes, it does work with all gas variants I've got here (including vanilla 2.15, 2.16, 2.16.1 and 2.17, plus debian and FC binutils).

As indicated in a recent thread on Linux-PM, it's necessary to call pm_ops->finish() before devce_resume(), but enable_nonboot_cpus() has to be called before pm_ops->finish() (cf. http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html). For consistency, it seems reasonable to call disable_nonboot_cpus() after device_suspend(). This way the suspend code will remain symmetrical with respect to the resume code and it may allow us to speed up things in the future by suspending and resuming devices and/or saving the suspend image in many threads. The following series of patches reorders the suspend and resume code so that nonboot CPUs are disabled after devices have been suspended and enabled before the devices are resumed. It also causes pm_ops->finish() to be called after enable_nonboot_cpus() wherever necessary. This patch: Change the ordering of code in kernel/power/main.c so that device_suspend() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus() and pm_ops->finish() is called after enable_nonboot_cpus() and before device_resume(), as indicated by recent discussion on Linux-PM (cf. http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).

Reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound requires CAP_SYS_MODULE. (see proc_dointvec_bset in kernel/sysctl.c) sysctl appears to drive all over proc reading everything it can get it's hands on and is complaining when it is being denied access to read cap-bound. Clearly writing to cap-bound should be a sensitive operation but requiring CAP_SYS_MODULE to read cap-bound seems a bit to strong. I believe the information could with reasonable certainty be obtained by looking at a bunch of the output of /proc/pid/status which has very low security protection, so at best we are just getting a little obfuscation of information. Currently SELinux policy has to 'dontaudit' capability checks for CAP_SYS_MODULE for things like sysctl which just want to read cap-bound. In doing so we also as a byproduct have to hide warnings of potential exploits such as if at some time that sysctl actually tried to load a module. I wondered if anyone would have a problem opening cap-bound up to read from anyone?

When kernel unmaps an address range, it needs to transfer PTE state into page struct. Currently, kernel transfer access bit via mark_page_accessed(). The call to mark_page_accessed in the unmap path doesn't look logically correct. At unmap time, calling mark_page_accessed will causes page LRU state to be bumped up one step closer to more recently used state. It is causing quite a bit headache in a scenario when a process creates a shmem segment, touch a whole bunch of pages, then unmaps it. The unmapping takes a long time because mark_page_accessed() will start moving pages from inactive to active list. I'm not too much concerned with moving the page from one list to another in LRU. Sooner or later it might be moved because of multiple mappings from various processes. But it just doesn't look logical that when user asks a range to be unmapped, it's his intention that the process is no longer interested in these pages. Moving those pages to active list (or bumping up a state towards more active) seems to be an over reaction. It also prolongs unmapping latency which is the core issue I'm trying to solve. As suggested by Peter, we should still preserve the info on pte young pages, but not more.

shmem backed file does not have page writeback, nor it participates in backing device's dirty or writeback accounting. So using generic __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() for its .set_page_dirty aops method is a bit overkill. It unnecessarily prolongs shm unmap latency. For example, on a densely populated large shm segment (sevearl GBs), the unmapping operation becomes painfully long. Because at unmap, kernel transfers dirty bit in PTE into page struct and to the radix tree tag. The operation of tagging the radix tree is particularly expensive because it has to traverse the tree from the root to the leaf node on every dirty page. What's bothering is that radix tree tag is used for page write back. However, shmem is memory backed and there is no page write back for such file system. And in the end, we spend all that time tagging radix tree and none of that fancy tagging will be used. So let's simplify it by introduce a new aops __set_page_dirty_no_writeback and this will speed up shm unmap.

Currently if we have a non-zero ZONES_SHIFT we assume we are able to rely on that as the bottom edge of the ZONEID, if not then we use the NODES_PGOFF as the right end of either NODES _or_ SECTION. This latter is more luck than judgement and would be incorrect if we reordered the SECTION,NODE,ZONE options in the fields space. Really what we want is the lower of the right hand end of the two fields we are using (either NODE,ZONE or SECTION,ZONE). Codify that explicitly. As always allow for there being no bits in either of the fields, such as might be valid in a non-numa machine with only a zone NORMAL. I have checked that the compiler is still able to constant fold all of this away correctly.
