Make the futex code compilable and usable on NOMMU by making the attempt to handle page faults conditional on CONFIG_MMU. If this is not enabled, then we can assume that EFAULT returned from futex_atomic_op_inuser() is not recoverable, and that the address lies outside of valid memory. handle_mm_fault() is made to BUG if called on NOMMU without attempting to invoke the actual handler (__handle_mm_fault).

This deprecates the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file, as all this stuff should be in /sys some day, right? :) In /sys/kernel/ we have now uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper. The seqnum is no longer used by udev, as the version for this kernel depends on netlink which events will never get out-of-order. Recent udev versions disable the /sbin/hotplug helper with an init script, cause it leads to OOM on big boxes by running hundreds of shells in parallel. It should be done now by: echo "" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper (Note that "-n" does not work, cause neighter proc nor sysfs support truncate().)

This is a slightly more complete fix for the previous minimal sysctl string fix. It always terminates the returned string with a NUL, even if the full result wouldn't fit in the user-supplied buffer. The returned length is the full untruncated length, so that you can tell when truncation has occurred. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

For the sysctl syscall, if the user wants to get the old value of a sysctl entry and set a new value for it in the same syscall, the old value is always overwritten by the new value if the sysctl entry is of string type and if the user sets its strategy to sysctl_string. This issue lies in the strategy being run twice if the strategy is set to sysctl_string, the general strategy sysctl_string always returns 0 if success. Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1 because they do read and write for the sysctl entry. The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read and write the sysctl entry. According to my analysis, if a strategy routine do read and write, it should return 1, if it just does some necessary check but not read and write, it should return 0, for example sysctl_intvec.

This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all the RCUs queued until this call have been completed. Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU callbacks are executed.

set_page_dirty() will not cope with being handed a page * which is part of a compound page, but not the master page in that compound page. This case can occur via access_process_vm() if you attemp to write to another process's hugepage memory area using ptrace() (causing an oops or hang). This patch fixes the bug by only calling set_page_dirty() from access_process_vm() if the page is not a compound page. We already use a similar fix in bio_set_pages_dirty() for the case of direct io to hugepages.

Tracked this down on an Ultra Enterprise 3000. It's a 6-way machine. Odd thing about this machine (and it's good for finding bugs like this) is that the CPU id's are not 0 based. For instance, on my machine the CPU's are 6/7/10/11/14/15. This caused some NULL pointer dereference in kernel/workqueue.c because for single_threaded workqueue's, it hardcoded the cpu to 0. I changed the 0's to any_online_cpu(cpu_online_mask), which cpumask.h claims is "First cpu in mask". So this fits the same usage.

There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest function calls lock_cpu_hotplug(). The lock is already held during cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to registered clients. Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup. Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in all places. - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static. - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug() so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock. - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug() temporary workaround. Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the stack. The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an iocb ref has access to sync iocbs. If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of the iocb using its on-stack reference. Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

This fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send. The problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling preemption on other CPUs. So if another CPU is preempted and then calls something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing stop_machine() and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs. I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on other CPUs, i.e. it should disable preemption first on _all_ CPUs including itself and only after that disable IRQs.
