      modsign: add symbol prefix to certificate list · 84ecfd15
      James Hogan 提交于
      Add the arch symbol prefix (if applicable) to the asm definition of
      modsign_certificate_list and modsign_certificate_list_end. This uses the
      recently defined SYMBOL_PREFIX which is derived from
      CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      
      This fixes the build of module signing on the blackfin and metag
      architectures.

      linux/kernel.h: define SYMBOL_PREFIX · cbdbf2ab
      James Hogan 提交于
      Define SYMBOL_PREFIX to be the same as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX if set by
      the architecture, or "" otherwise. This avoids the need for ugly #ifdefs
      whenever symbols are referenced in asm blocks.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull  late workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
       "Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes.  One was for a
        long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
        regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
        the two fixes together.
      
        The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
        w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.  It only triggers on workqueue destructions
        which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
        called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well.  Apparently,
        if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
        indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.
      
        The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
        kthread function.
      
        The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
        mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
        Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
        which expires on the closest next tick.  Some users of the new
        function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
        queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.
      
        Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
        and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
        network.  The fix, again, is fairly simple.  The 0 delay special case
        logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
        __queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
        and mod_delayed_work_on().
      
        The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
        latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
        wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
        fixes are fairly safe"

      workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay · 8852aac2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      8376fe22 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
      implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
      try_to_grab_pending().  The function is later used, among others, to
      replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
      
      Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
      differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
      queue_delayed_work_on().  The latter skips timer altogether and
      directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
      timer which will expire on the closest tick.  This means, when @delay
      is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
      makes the target item immediately executable while
      mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
      
      This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
      e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
      and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
      unplugged.  The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
      of context switches under certain circumstances.
      
      The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
      for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
      queue_delayed_work_on().  Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
      ("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
      The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
      I missed that it was a correctness issue.
      
      As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
      __queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
      is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
      duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
      
      Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
      queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work().  This replaces
      Joonsoo's patch.

      A rescue thread exiting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE can lead to a task scheduling
