This patch removes module_param oprofile.force_arch_perfmon and introduces oprofile.cpu_type=archperfmon instead. This new parameter can be reused for other models and architectures. Currently only archperfmon is supported. Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NRobert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong) But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again on Atom or Core i7. To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NRobert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

Enforce strict resource checking - disallowing access by native drivers to IO ports and memory regions claimed by ACPI firmware. The patch is mainly aimed to block native hwmon drivers from touching monitoring chips that ACPI thinks it own. If this causes a regression, boot with "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" which was the previous default. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12376 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12541Signed-off-by: NLuca Tettamanti <kronos.it@gmail.com> Acked-by: NPavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> Acked-by: NJean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

This patch allows memory resources to be assigned with a specified alignment at boot-time or run-time. The patch is useful when we use PCI pass-through, because page-aligned memory resources are required to securely share PCI resources with guest drivers. If you want to assign the resource at boot time, please set "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter. This is format of "pci=resource_alignment=" boot parameter: [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...] Specifies alignment and device to reassign aligned memory resources. If <order of align> is not specified, PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment. PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource windows need to be expanded. This is example: pci=resource_alignment=20@07:00.0;18@0f:00.0;00:1d.7 If you want to assign the resource at run-time, please set "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file, and hot-remove the device and hot-add the device. For this purpose, fakephp or PCI hotplug interfaces can be used. The format of "/sys/bus/pci/resource_alignment" file is the same with boot parameter. You can use "," instead of ";". For example: # cd /sys/bus/pci # echo -n 20@12:00.0 > resource_alignment # echo 1 > devices/0000:12:00.0/remove # echo 1 > rescan Reviewed-by: NAlex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Reviewed-by: NYu Zhao <yu.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NYuji Shimada <shimada-yxb@necst.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: NJesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

While trying to debug why my Atom netbook is falling over booting rawhide debug-enabled kernels, I stumbled across the fact that we've been enabling object debugging by default. However, once you default it to on, you've got no way to turn it back off again at runtime. Add a boolean toggle to turn it off. I would just make it an int module_param, however people may already expect the boolean enable behaviour, so just add an analogue for disabling.

IMA provides hardware (TPM) based measurement and attestation for file measurements. As the Trusted Computing (TPM) model requires, IMA measures all files before they are accessed in any way (on the integrity_bprm_check, integrity_path_check and integrity_file_mmap hooks), and commits the measurements to the TPM. Once added to the TPM, measurements can not be removed. In addition, IMA maintains a list of these file measurements, which can be used to validate the aggregate value stored in the TPM. The TPM can sign these measurements, and thus the system can prove, to itself and to a third party, the system's integrity in a way that cannot be circumvented by malicious or compromised software. - alloc ima_template_entry before calling ima_store_template() - log ima_add_boot_aggregate() failure - removed unused IMA_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN - replaced hard coded string length with #define name Signed-off-by: NMimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NJames Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device. As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings. This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned. NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set. In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field, drivers issues from userspace.
