      Richard Purdie 提交于
      Add support for LED triggers to the LED subsystem.  "Triggers" are events
      which change the state of an LED.  Two kinds of trigger are available, simple
      ones which can be added to exising code with minimum disruption and complex
      ones for implementing new or more complex functionality.

      [PATCH] LED: class documentation · 75c1d31d
      Richard Purdie 提交于
      The LED class/subsystem takes John Lenz's work and extends and alters it to
      give what I think should be a fairly universal LED implementation.
      
      The series consists of several logical units:
      
      * LED Core + Class implementation
      * LED Trigger Core implementation
      * LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger)
      * LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models
      * LED device driver for locomo LEDs
      * LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs
      * Zaurus charging LED trigger
      * IDE disk activity LED trigger
      * NAND MTD activity LED trigger
      
      Why?
      ====
      
      LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned
      on and off so why do we need all this code?  On handheld or embedded devices
      they're an important part of an often limited user interface.  Both users and
      developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the
      number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large.
      
      A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in
      an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner.
      
      The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away
      in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent
      interface to userspace.
      
      Other Implementations
      =====================
      
      I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation.  Currently the new subsystem
      and the arm code can coexist quite happily.  Its up to the arm community to
      decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them.  As far as I can see,
      the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with
      the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more
      generic, configurable and scalable.
      
      I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it)
      if appropriate.
      
      Implementation Details
      ======================
      
      I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class.  Colours were
      removed as LED colour is now part of the device name.  Multiple colours are to
      be handled as multiple led devices.  This means you get full control over each
      colour.  I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't
      going to add much overhead and is just as useful.  I also decided to have the
      LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling)
      removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers.
      
      An underlying design philosophy is simplicity.  The aim is to keep a small
      amount of code giving as much functionality as possible.
      
      The major new idea is the led "trigger".  A trigger is a source of led events.
       Triggers can either be simple or complex.  A simple trigger isn't
      configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal
      additional code.  Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging
      triggers.  With leds disabled, the code optimises away.  Examples are
      nand-disk and ide-disk.
      
      Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and
      work on a per LED basis.  The timer trigger is an example.
      
      You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is
      chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger).
      
      So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further
      LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems.
      
      Known Issues
      ============
      
      The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would
      cause nightmare dependency issues.  I see this as a minor issue compared to
      the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings.  The rest of the LED
      subsystem can be modular.
      
      Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware.  As this isn't a generic LED
      device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs
      attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg.
       to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended).
      
      Future Development
      ==================
      
      At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
      There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
      particular LED.  The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should
      cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current
      interface.
      
      A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation
      should be trivial to add.
      
      This patch:
      
      Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and
      how it appears to users.

      [PATCH] fs/locks.c: Fix sys_flock() race · 993dfa87
      Trond Myklebust 提交于
      sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the
      multi-thread case.
      
      Thread 1			Thread 2
      
      sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX)
      				sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN)
      
      If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for
      list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will
      end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock.
      
      Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely
      to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock.
      
      This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the
      lockd handling of flock.

      [PATCH] cpuset: memory migration interaction fix · e4e364e8
      Paul Jackson 提交于
      Fix memory migration so that it works regardless of what cpuset the invoking
      task is in.
      
      If a task invoked a memory migration, by doing one of:
      
             1) writing a different nodemask to a cpuset 'mems' file, or
      
             2) writing a tasks pid to a different cpuset's 'tasks' file,
                where the cpuset had its 'memory_migrate' option turned on, then the
                allocation of the new pages for the migrated task(s) was constrained
                by the invoking tasks cpuset.
      
      If this task wasn't in a cpuset that allowed the requested memory nodes, the
      memory migration would happen to some other nodes that were in that invoking
      tasks cpuset.  This was usually surprising and puzzling behaviour: Why didn't
      the pages move?  Why did the pages move -there-?
      
      To fix this, temporarilly change the invoking tasks 'mems_allowed' task_struct
      field to the nodes the migrating tasks is moving to, so that new pages can be
      allocated there.

      [PATCH] Fix pacct bug in multithreading case. · bb231fe3
      KaiGai Kohei 提交于
      I noticed a bug on the process accounting facility.  In multi-threading
      process, some data would be recorded incorrectly when the group_leader dies
      earlier than one or more threads.  The attached patch fixes this problem.
      
      See below.  'bugacct' is a test program that create a worker thread after 4
      seconds sleeping, then the group_leader dies soon.  The worker thread
      consume CPU/Memory for 6 seconds, then exit.  We can estimate 10 seconds as
      etime and 6 seconds as stime + utime.  This is a sample program which the
      group_leader dies earlier than other threads.
      
      The results of same binary execution on different kernel are below.
      -- accounted records --------------------
               |   btime  | utime | stime | etime | minflt | majflt |   comm  |
      original | 13:16:40 |  0.00 |  0.00 |  6.10 |    171 |      0 | bugacct |
       patched | 13:20:21 |  5.83 |  0.18 | 10.03 |  32776 |      0 | bugacct |
      (*) bugacct allocates 128MB memory, thus 128MB / 4KB = 32768 of minflt is
          appropriate.
      
      -- Test results in original kernel ------
      $ date; time -p ./bugacct
      Tue Mar 28 13:16:36 JST 2006  <- But pacct said btime is 13:16:40
      real 10.11                    <- But pacct said etime is 6.10
      user 5.96                     <- But pacct said utime is 0.00
      sys 0.14                      <- But pacct said stime is 0.00
      $
      -- Test results in patched kernel -------

      real 10.04
      user 5.83
      sys 0.19
      $
      
      In the original 2.6.16 kernel, pacct records btime, utime, stime, etime and
      minflt incorrectly.  In my opinion, this problem is caused by an assumption
      that group_leader dies last.
      
      The following section calculates process running time for etime and btime.
      But it means running time of the thread that dies last, not process.  The
      start_time of the first thread in the process (group_leader) should be
      reduced from uptime to calculate etime and btime correctly.

      [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range() · f79e2abb
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
      fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
      Reasons:
      
      - It's more flexible.  Things which would require two or three syscalls with
        fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.
      
      - Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.
      
      The patch wires up the syscall for x86.
      
      The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c.  The intention is that we can
      move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.
      
      Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.
      
      A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
      http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.
      
      The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
      say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC.  I can skip the ->fsync call for
      NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."
      
      Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
      the queue is congested.  This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
      wbc->nonblocking.  But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
      details down to that level.
      
      Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
      Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).
      
      Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
      outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines.  It makes such attempts appear to
      succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.  Perhaps it should make such
      requests fail...

      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and

      And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().
      
      	start_kernel()
      		-> parse_args()
      			-> unknown_bootoption()
      				-> obsolete_checksetup()
      
      If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
      obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
      handled.
      
      If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
      ->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
      a parameter is seted to argv_init[].
      
      Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
      If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 提交于
      Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
      UML.  This is the main chunk, additional parts follow.  This implementation is
      now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
      the previously existing problems.
      
      Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
      the host when appropriate, i.e.  immediately when the target process is
      running or on context switch otherwise (i.e.  on fork and on ptrace() calls).
      
      In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
      does not switches tls_array together with current->mm).
      
      Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
      not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

      [PATCH] uml: clean arch_switch usage · 972410b0
      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 提交于
      Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for
      that case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon.
      
      Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a
      complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled.  In fact, it
      only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check
      if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the
      registers).
      
      If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and
      update_debugregs will be a no-op.  So, optimize this out (the compiler can't
      do it).
      
      Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense if,
      after calling a successful
      update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq),
      current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq.
      But this is not done.  Is this a bug or a feature?  For all purposes, it seems
      a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a
      possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not
      correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed.
      
      Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM,
      comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable().  I'm just a bit dubious if
      ordering matters there...

      ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h is made of two different parts - some code for parsing of

      (host_ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h).

      the LDT descriptor parsing macros in host_ldt.h, but it can't include ldt.h
      because it uses semaphores (and to define semaphores one must first include
