Corrects compile errors and the following: - Remove oldset parameter from do_signal and do_notify_resume. - Modified to fit new consolidated IRQ handling code. - Reverse check order between external nmi and watchdog nmi to avoid false watchdog oops in case of a glitch on the nmi pin. - Return from an pin-generated NMI the same way as for other interrupts. - Moved blocking of ethernet rx/tx irq from ethernet interrupt handler to low-level asm interrupt handlers. Fixed in the multiple interrupt handler also. - Add space for thread local storage in thread_info struct. - Add NO_DMA to Kconfig, and include arch specific Kconfig using arch independent path.

New (updated) version of ethernet driver for cris v10. - First steps to simplify and make the MII code more similar between the etrax100 and etraxfs ports. - Start the transmit queue before enabling tx interrupts to avoid race with the first frame. - Flip the comparition statement to stick to physical addresses to avoid phys_to_virt mapping a potential null pointer. This was not an error but the change simplifies debugging of address-space mappings. - Made myPrevRxDesc local to e100_rx since it was only used there. Fixed out of memory handling in e100_rx. If dev_alloc_skb() fails persistently the system is hosed anyway but at least it won't loop in an interrupt handler. - Correct some code formatting issues. - Add defines SET_ETH_ENABLE_LEDS, SET_ETH_DISABLE_LEDS and SET_ETH_AUTONEG used in new cris v10 ethernet driver.

Fix regression introduced with d435d862 ("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling"). A CPU which was not brought up during boot (using maxcpus and additional_cpus parameters) couldn't be onlined anymore. For such a CPU it seemed that MCE was not supported during CPU_UP_PREPARE-time which caused mce_cpu_callback to return NOTIFY_BAD to notifier_call_chain. To fix this we: - call mce_create_device for CPU_ONLINE event (instead of CPU_UP_PREPARE), - avoid mce_remove_device() for the CPU that is not correctly initialized by mce_create_device() failure, - make mce_cpu_callback always return NOTIFY_OK for CPU_ONLINE event. Because CPU_ONLINE callback return value is always ignored.

Lockdep reports a circular locking dependency in the hibernate code because - during system boot hibernate code (from an initcall) locks pm_mutex and then a sysfs buffer mutex via name_to_dev_t - during regular operation hibernate code locks pm_mutex under a sysfs buffer mutex because it's called from sysfs methods. The deadlock can never happen because during initcall invocation nothing can write to sysfs yet. This removes the lockdep report by marking the initcall locking as being in a different class.

由 Russ Anderson 提交于
In __do_IRQ(), the normal case is that IRQ_DISABLED is checked and if set the handler (handle_IRQ_event()) is not called. Earlier in __do_IRQ(), if IRQ_PER_CPU is set the code does not check IRQ_DISABLED and calls the handler even though IRQ_DISABLED is set. This behavior seems unintentional. One user encountering this behavior is the CPE handler (in arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c). When the CPE handler encounters too many CPEs (such as a solid single bit error), it sets up a polling timer and disables the CPE interrupt (to avoid excessive overhead logging the stream of single bit errors). disable_irq_nosync() is called which sets IRQ_DISABLED. The IRQ_PER_CPU flag was previously set (in ia64_mca_late_init()). The net result is the CPE handler gets called even though it is marked disabled. If the behavior of not checking IRQ_DISABLED when IRQ_PER_CPU is set is intentional, it would be worthy of a comment describing the intended behavior. disable_irq_nosync() does call chip->disable() to provide a chipset specifiec interface for disabling the interrupt, which avoids this issue when used.

This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single blow. After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial pid namespace. Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as they are minor. Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于
sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from disk inside drivers. Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but several drivers still were using this. Since a few years we have a request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way. Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some time.... however with commit c2b1239a the last user is now gone. This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the process file descriptor table.... which then can be tampered with from other threads for example. For those who don't want the firmware loader, filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security issue. The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.
