      rcu: Switch task's syscall hooks on context switch · 04e7e951
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Clear the syscalls hook of a task when it's scheduled out so that if
      the task migrates, it doesn't run the syscall slow path on a CPU
      that might not need it.
      
      Also set the syscalls hook on the next task if needed.

      s390: add support for transactional memory · d35339a4
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX).
      If the TX facility is available user space programs can use
      transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data
      objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is
      useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler
      optimizations.

      rcu: New rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq() APIs · 19dd1591
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode
      from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this
      CPU a resched IPI.  In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI
      handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler
      after having exited that mode.
      
      To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU:
      
      - rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between
      rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit().  After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(),
      the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state.
      In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice
      it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt.
      
      - rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting
      interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also
      between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls
      rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent
      state.
      
      [ Combined with "Allow calls to rcu_exit_user_irq from nesting irqs." ]

      rcu: New rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit() APIs · adf5091e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      RCU currently insists that only idle tasks can enter RCU idle mode, which
      prohibits an adaptive tickless kernel (AKA nohz cpusets), which in turn
      would mean that usermode execution would always take scheduling-clock
      interrupts, even when there is only one task runnable on the CPU in
      question.
      
      This commit therefore adds rcu_user_enter() and rcu_user_exit(), which
      allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode.  These are quite similar
      to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), respectively, except that they
      omit the idle-task checks.

      power: battery: Generic battery driver using IIO · e60fea79
      anish kumar 提交于
      Driver to allow use of the ADC drivers supported by the IIO
      subsystem for battery status monitoring. Connecting this
      driver to the relevant IIO device requires registration of
      the appropriate iio_map structure array by the IIO device
      driver (usually from platform data).  If specified the driver
      will also make use of a gpio to provide interrupt driven
      notification that the battery is fully charged.
      
      In last version:
      Addressed concerns raised by lars:
      a. made the adc_bat per device.
      b. get the IIO channel using hardcoded channel names.
      c. Minor issues related to gpio_is_valid and some code
         refactoring.
      
      In V1:
      Addressed concerns raised by Anton:
      a. changed the struct name to gab(generic adc battery).
      b. Added some functions to neaten the code.
      c. Some minor coding guidelines changes.
      d. Used the latest function introduce by lars:
         iio_read_channel_processed to streamline the code.
      
      In V2:
      Addressed concerns by lars:
      a. No need of allocating memory for channels.Make it array.
      b. Code restructring, coding style and following kernel guidelines changes
         suggested by him.
      
      In V3:
      Addressed conerns by Anton:
      a. Added the copyright.
      b. Coding guidelines changes suggested by him.
      c. Added Makefile and Kconfig

      xfrm_user: ensure user supplied esn replay window is valid · ecd79187
      Mathias Krause 提交于
      The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually
      contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new
      state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the
      whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the
      replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL
      netlink attribute. This leads to following issues:
      
      1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling
         code later on.
      
      2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap
         memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires
         CAP_NET_ADMIN).
      
      Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's
      iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter
      uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not.
      strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1.
      
      To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the
      XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a
      fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel
      bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For
      state updates the full bitmap must be supplied.
      
      To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size
      of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum
      replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real
      life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).
