2010-11-28tcp: restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale (#20312)Alexey Dobriyan
tcp_win_from_space() does the following: if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale <= 0) return space >> (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale); else return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale); "space" is int. As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is undefined behaviour. Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32, space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0. Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf(). Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].

2010-11-25cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurableMichal Hocko
Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature. This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting may be very usuful for some workloads. This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected then the feature is turned on by default. It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic (defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with noswapaccount). The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Asus UL30A has a 3G chip, but the radio is disabled by default. The DSDT also reference a WIMAX device, which is not present on this model. This patch adds two new files: wwan and wimax to control WWAN and WIMAX devices. It does not use rfkill, because like WLED and BLED, we don't know yet that the two ACPI functions will always control the radio, they may control only the leds on some hardware.

This patch (as1428) converts USB over to the new runtime-PM core autosuspend framework. One slightly awkward aspect of the conversion is that USB devices will now have two suspend-delay attributes: the old power/autosuspend file and the new power/autosuspend_delay_ms file. One expresses the delay time in seconds and the other in milliseconds, but otherwise they do the same thing. The old attribute can be deprecated and then removed eventually.

2010-11-15Docs/Kconfig: Update: osdl.org -> linuxfoundation.orgMichael Witten
Some of the documentation refers to web pages under the domain `osdl.org'. However, `osdl.org' now redirects to `linuxfoundation.org'. Rather than rely on redirections, this patch updates the addresses appropriately; for the most part, only documentation that is meant to be current has been updated. The patch should be pretty quick to scan and check; each new web-page url was gotten by trying out the original URL in a browser and then simply copying the the redirected URL (formatting as necessary). There is some conflict as to which one of these domain names is preferred: linuxfoundation.org linux-foundation.org So, I wrote: info@linuxfoundation.org and got this reply: Message-ID: <4CE17EE6.9040807@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:41:42 -0800 From: David Ames <david@linuxfoundation.org> ... linuxfoundation.org is preferred. The canonical name for our web site is www.linuxfoundation.org. Our list site is actually lists.linux-foundation.org. Regarding email linuxfoundation.org is preferred there are a few people who choose to use linux-foundation.org for their own reasons. Consequently, I used `linuxfoundation.org' for web pages and `lists.linux-foundation.org' for mailing-list web pages and email addresses; the only personal email address I updated from `@osdl.org' was that of Andrew Morton, who prefers `linux-foundation.org' according `git log'.

2010-11-15blk-cgroup: Allow creation of hierarchical cgroupsVivek Goyal
o Allow hierarchical cgroup creation for blkio controller o Currently we disallow it as both the io controller policies (throttling as well as proportion bandwidth) do not support hierarhical accounting and control. But the flip side is that blkio controller can not be used with libvirt as libvirt creates a cgroup hierarchy deeper than 1 level. <top-level-cgroup-dir>/<controller>/libvirt/qemu/<virtual-machine-groups> o So this patch will allow creation of cgroup hierarhcy but at the backend everything will be treated as flat. So if somebody created a an hierarchy like as follows. root / \ test1 test2 | test3 CFQ and throttling will practically treat all groups at same level. pivot / | \ \ root test1 test2 test3 o Once we have actual support for hierarchical accounting and control then we can introduce another cgroup tunable file "blkio.use_hierarchy" which will be 0 by default but if user wants to enforce hierarhical control then it can be set to 1. This way there should not be any ABI problems down the line. o The only not so pretty part is introduction of extra file "use_hierarchy" down the line. Kame-san had mentioned that hierarhical accounting is expensive in memory controller hence they keep it off by default. I suspect same will be the case for IO controller also as for each IO completion we shall have to account IO through hierarchy up to the root. if yes, then it probably is not a very bad idea to introduce this extra file so that it will be used only when somebody needs it and some people might enable hierarchy only in part of the hierarchy. o This is how basically memory controller also uses "use_hierarhcy" and they also allowed creation of hierarchies when actual backend support was not available.

2010-11-12led-class: always implement blinkingJohannes Berg
Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then needs to implement its own timer solution. Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use. This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink. As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's always easy to use.

2010-11-12Restrict unprivileged access to kernel syslogDan Rosenberg
The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog. This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

The ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control Register SW bit. This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to /proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when user RO.

2010-11-03ALSA: oxygen: add HiFier Serenade supportClemens Ladisch
Add support for the TempoTec/MediaTek HiFier Serenade sound card. The PCI ID was already there, but the driver handled it like the Fantasia model, which resulted in a dummy recording device. As a stereo output-only card, this model is to be handled exactly like the HG2PCI. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2010-11-03ALSA: oxygen: merge HiFier driver into snd-oxygenClemens Ladisch
The snd-hifier driver contains more duplicated code than model-specific code, so it does not make sense for it to be a separate driver. Handling the two-channel output restriction can be easily done in the generic driver. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
