Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of frequency is going on. Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due to underlying hardware coordination or TM2. Example: * CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated. * CPU 1 running at highest frequency. * CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to some intermediate frequency based on utilization. * Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest). * When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

Unify the following functions: acpi_ec_poll_read() acpi_ec_poll_write() acpi_ec_poll_query() acpi_ec_intr_read() acpi_ec_intr_write() acpi_ec_intr_query() into: acpi_ec_poll_transaction() acpi_ec_intr_transaction() These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are just special cases of these functions. Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The latter contains the EC access logic, the two original function now just do their special way of locking and call the the new function for the actual work. This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled" IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable xfrm(s) applied. The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of "deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by default" in the above case. This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec. With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context). Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied, such as -EINVAL. We were not handling that correctly, and in fact inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not associated with an xfrm policy. The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly. Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux) for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the flow cache entry). This patch: Fix the selinux side of things. This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated with the IPSec policy rule. Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case is now handled properly.

The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go by: (1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root. (2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time. (3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves inwards. This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids iterating through the dentry_unused list. Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*() functions added by this patch. This is because: (1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may it remove aliases from inodes; (2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted; and (3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS can reach it. Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a time. We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput(). A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches. In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

由 Reinette Chatre 提交于
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc function of the /proc filesystem operates. This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user(). We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for kernel and user. This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the upcoming bandwidth allocator code. Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.
