      dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk · e9d376f0
      由 Jason Baron 提交于 
      This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

      kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent · f520360d
      由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于 
      Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
call_usermode_helper().  Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
during the system boot.

This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
do not wait for keventd to process the work.

This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.

[Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
excuted at all -- gregkh]

      Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject · f67f129e
      由 Ming Lei 提交于 
      This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

[This version is against the latest driver-core patch set of Greg,please
ignore the last version.]

      lib/idr.c: use kmem_cache_zalloc() for the idr_layer cache · 5b019e99
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
uninitialized upon next use.  This causes crashes which have been observed
in the firewire subsystem.

He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().

But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.

This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit
cf481c20), which was first released in
2.6.27.

There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.

There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
kernel versions.  I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
backport this fix.

      NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux · 8feae131
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux.  This solves two problems:

 (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of
     shmat's (and forks) done.

 (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an
     exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact
     that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another
     process or a dead process.

A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember
the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure
is discarded as it's no longer required.

This patch makes the following additional changes:

 (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and
     with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite.  Instead,
     each page has a reference on it held by the region.  Anything else that is
     interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it.
     When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to
     put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero.

 (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be
     made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages.

 (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists.  As an MM may
     end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is
     appended to the sort key.

 (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list.

 (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of
     the backing region.  The VMA and region structs will be split if
     necessary.

 (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory
     segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss.  Multiple
     shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different
     virtual addresses as under MMU-mode.

 (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode.

 (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits
     that aren't actually mapped anywhere.

 (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount
     of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be
     mapped directly.  These are copies of the backing device or file if not
     anonymous.

These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode.  The downside is that
NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this
patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

      swiotlb: add missing __init annotations · 79ff56eb
      由 Roland Dreier 提交于 
      Impact: cleanup, reduce kernel size a bit

The current kernel build warns:

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x11458): Section mismatch in reference from the function swiotlb_alloc_boot() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem_low()
    The function swiotlb_alloc_boot() references
    the function __init __alloc_bootmem_low().
    This is often because swiotlb_alloc_boot lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem_low is wrong.

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1011f2): Section mismatch in reference from the function swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem_low()
    The function swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size() references
    the function __init __alloc_bootmem_low().
    This is often because swiotlb_late_init_with_default_size lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of __alloc_bootmem_low is wrong.

and indeed the functions calling __alloc_bootmem_low() can be marked
__init as well.
