      In include/linux/sysrq.h the constant EINVAL is being used but is undefined
      if include/linux/errno.h is not included before.
      
      Fix this by adding #include <linux/errno.h> at the beginning.

      elf: fix multithreaded program core dumping on arm · a65e7bfc
      Hui Zhu 提交于
      Fix the multithread program core thread message error.
      
      This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor
      ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them.
      
      The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status.
      The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function.
      
      If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS,
      elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing.  Then the core file will not
      have the register message of thread.
      
      So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS
      doesn't define.
      
      The following is how to reproduce this issue:
      
      cat 1.c
      #include <stdio.h>
      #include <pthread.h>
      #include <assert.h>

      block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectors · 7878cba9
      Martin K. Petersen 提交于
      This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
      infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs.  Each bip slab
      has an embedded bio_vec array at the end.  This cuts down on memory
      allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
      version.  Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool.  The pool is
      contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
      progress.

      fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking · 537a1bf0
      Krzysztof Helt 提交于
      Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
      semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.
      
      Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
      so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used.  Changing of these
      fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.
      
      This is 2.6.31 material.  It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
      register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
      register_framebuffer()).  It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
      smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

      spi: add spi_master flag word · 70d6027f
      David Brownell 提交于
      Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
      controller.  Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
      Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.
      
      Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag.  Its coding
      relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
      underlying controller driver won't perform them.
      
      (The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
      temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
      which case the existing code applies.  Similarly, any spi_master
      implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

      spi: new spi->mode bits · b55f627f
      David Brownell 提交于
      Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
      pass them through to usermode drivers:
      
       * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
         line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
         full duplex.
      
         This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
         chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
         transitions with the SPI master.
      
       * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
         to pause the clock.  This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
         4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
         each of the 3-wire flavors).
      
         Such hardware flow control can be a big win.  There are ADC
         converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
         many host controllers support it today.
      
      The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
      current nonportable hack.  That's a mode most hardware can easily support
      (unlike SPI_READY).

      elf: limit max map count to safe value · 341c87bf
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
      vmas are added.
      
      When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
      code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
      written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.
      
      ==
      	... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...)
      	if (failed)
      		abort();
      ==
      
      This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma().
      
      I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good
      for avoiding unexpected corrupted core.
      
      Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

      alpha: fix percpu build breakage · b01e8dc3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
      modules to work around addressing range limitation.  This is done via
      generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
      assembler to generate external reference.  This happens behind the
      compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
      in modules are unused.
      
      This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
      variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
      recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
      __used can't be used for declaration.  Also, in the process,
      PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
      
      This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
      and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules.  This
      also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

      gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment · 2a2325e6
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
      However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
      on the size of the previous sections.
      
      Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
      the ctors contents are properly aligned.  However the extra zeroes at the
      beginning aren't expected by the code.  When walking the functions
      pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
      random jumps.  So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
      aligned as well.

      eventfd: revised interface and cleanups · 13389010
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
      the file pointer instance.
      
      Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
      POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away.  Also,
      now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
      file*.
      
      This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
      development.

      fuse: invalidation reverse calls · 3b463ae0
      John Muir 提交于
      Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS
      caches.
      
      Two notifications are added:
      
       1) inode invalidation
      
         - invalidate cached attributes
         - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional)
      
       2) dentry invalidation
      
         - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache
      
      Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the
      mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress.  To
      prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during
      the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

      fuse: allow umask processing in userspace · e0a43ddc
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      This patch lets filesystems handle masking the file mode on creation.
      This is needed if filesystem is using ACLs.
      
       - The CREATE, MKDIR and MKNOD requests are extended with a "umask"
         parameter.
      
       - A new FUSE_DONT_MASK flag is added to the INIT request/reply.  With
         this the filesystem may request that the create mode is not masked.

      Add new __init_task_data macro to be used in arch init_task.c files. · 857eceeb
      Tim Abbott 提交于
      This patch is preparation for replacing most ".data.init_task" in the
      kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed
      without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
      
      The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
      section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
      -fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
      of the form ".data.foo".

      asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.h · 39a449d9
      Tim Abbott 提交于
      We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h,
      but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which
      is quite confusing.  We should switch the macro in the linker script to
      INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch).  Since
      the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in
      vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.
      
      However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire
      .data.init_task section.  So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION.
      
      I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the
      old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had
      tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass
      the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

      RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters,

      in the comments.
      
      There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just
      stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new
      architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

      x86: Add sysctl to allow panic on IOCK NMI error · 5211a242
      Kurt Garloff 提交于
      This patch introduces a new sysctl:
      
          /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
      
      which defaults to 0 (off).
      
      When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
      caused by an IO error.
      
      The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
      condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
      than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
      so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.
      
      This could be especially important to companies running IO
      intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
      bank's databases.

      perf_counter: Rework the sample ABI · e6e18ec7
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
      actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
      we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.
      
      Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
      event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
      samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.
      
      This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
      and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

      perf_counter: Implement more accurate per task statistics · bfbd3381
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
      possibility to provide accurate counter values for
      individual tasks in a task hierarchy.
      
      However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
      counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.
      
      In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
      don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
      counters and flip the values between the contexts.
      
      This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
      the full PMU.
