Extend the /proc/<pid>/cgroup file to include the appropriate hierarchy ID on each line. Currently this ID isn't really needed since a hierarchy can be completely identified by the set of subsystems bound to it, but this is likely to change in the near future in order to support stateless subsystems and merging/rebinding of subsystems. Getting this change into 2.6.25 reduces the need for an API change later.

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. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

由 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.

This patch also resolves hangs on boot: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093 The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on certain laptops. Earlier commit 40d6a146 added smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle handler). Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle loop to handle cpu_idle_wait. Signed-off-by: NVenkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL. We cache static TLB mappings for the current page table in DAMPR4 and DAMPR5 on the theory that the next data lookup is likely to be in the same general region, and thus is likely to be mapped by the same page table. However, we can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct. If current->mm is NULL, we just clear the cache in the knowledge that the TLB miss handlers will load it.

When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can trigger that is the following: - elevator switch from cfq to something else; - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context() on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op); - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq; - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key). To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(), that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags, rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the sb_features2 value. Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current session will use the feature. Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

Due to the xfs_dsb_t structure not being 64 bit aligned, the last field of the on-disk superblock can vary in location This causes problems when the filesystem gets moved to a different platform, or there is a 32 bit userspace and 64 bit kernel. This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as: XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for something else later on.

gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type. The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when executing this code. This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the original section. Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel. ;-) Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

I (wrongly) assumed that nfs_xdev_get_sb() would not ever share a superblock and so cloning mount options would always be correct. Turns out that isn't the case and we could fall over a BUG_ON() that wasn't a BUG at all. Since there is little we can do to reconcile different mount options this patch just leaves the sb alone and the first set of options wins.

snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked area, and later, while holding a lock. snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it.. which sleeps, so the second call is invalid. This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls. While this is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to do here, we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just before, so it is very unlikely to take a long time here.

This should be N_NORMAL_MEMORY. N_NORMAL_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for the kernel. N_HIGH_MEMORY is "true" if a node has memory for HIGHMEM. (If CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n, always "true") This check is used for testing whether we can use kmalloc_node() on a node. Then, if there is a node which only contains HIGHMEM, the system will call kmalloc_node() which doesn't contain memory for the kernel. If it happens under SLUB, the kernel will panic. I think this only happens on x86_32-numa.

When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was not completely processed and some BIOs are still attached. Since we have dequeued it by that time, it means leaking requests and hanging processes, which is why BUG() was in there. In ub this happens if a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id issues INQUIRY). The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request are correct: the full request length and not just transferred length. The transferred length is indicated to applications by adjusting rq->data_len with old, unchanged code outside of this patch.
