      Fix "$(AS) -traditional" compile breakage caused by asmlinkage_protect · b0fac023
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      git commit 54a01510 ("asmlinkage_protect
      replaces prevent_tail_call") causes this build failure on s390:
      
          AS      arch/s390/kernel/entry64.o
        In file included from arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S:14:

        make: *** [arch/s390/kernel] Error 2
      
      and some other architectures.  The reason is that some architectures add
      the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables
      variadic macro argument support.
      
      So just surround the new define with an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
      any side effects on asm code.

      pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol · 544451a1
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
      char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
      an unsigned int.
      
      Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
      isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
      interfaces use a one-byte device node number.
      
      But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
      Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
      number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:
      
          pnp: PnP ACPI init
          kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

      This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.  It should not
      have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
      enforced in the backends.

      Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macro · d10d89ec
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
      be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
      low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
      honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.
      
      I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
      to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
      prettier syntax that uses vararg macros).  Thus the previous two commits
      that actually implement it.

      asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call · 54a01510
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
      clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
      is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
      optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
      stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
      Other optimizations can do it too.
      
      Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
      compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
      the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
      
      More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
      variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
      stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
      tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
      it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

      can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct.

      [TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+L · 882bebaa
      Ilpo Järvinen 提交于
      This fixes Bugzilla #10384
      
      tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking
      whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use.
      
      The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather
      complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward
      cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it
      may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs
      arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well,
      leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next
      cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate
      ACK will fix the S counter.
      
      More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to
      just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but
      it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie.,
      the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs
      had arrived.
      
      So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state
      when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out
      might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out
      overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports
      of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel
      before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit
      1b6d427b ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging
      write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

      virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON. · 2557a933
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host
      we don't need callbacks now.  As it is not reliable, the debug check is
      overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time.  Document this.
      
      Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable
      callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance
      protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

      x86: fix 64-bit asm NOPS for CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU · 871de939
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken
      with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS
      which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing
      64bit rex prefix.
      
      For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar
      to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge.
      
      This should resolve the crash seen by Ingo on a test-system:

      cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time · 8bab8dde
      Paul Menage 提交于
      The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
      
      - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
      - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem
      
      As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time;
      all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on
      a visible hierarchy.  Any additional effects (e.g.  not allocating metadata)
      are up to the foo subsystem.
      
      This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be,
      but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems
      wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing
      since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run.

        Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than
        processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead
        to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to
        1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page).
      
        I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in
        CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or
