2012-02-21sys_poll: fix incorrect type for 'timeout' parameterLinus Torvalds
The 'poll()' system call timeout parameter is supposed to be 'int', not 'long'. Now, the reason this matters is that right now 32-bit compat mode is broken on at least x86-64, because the 32-bit code just calls 'sys_poll()' directly on x86-64, and the 32-bit argument will have been zero-extended, turning a signed 'int' into a large unsigned 'long' value. We could just introduce a 'compat_sys_poll()' function for this, and that may eventually be what we have to do, but since the actual standard poll() semantics is *supposed* to be 'int', and since at least on x86-64 glibc sign-extends the argument before invocing the system call (so nobody can actually use a 64-bit timeout value in user space _anyway_, even in 64-bit binaries), the simpler solution would seem to be to just fix the definition of the system call to match what it should have been from the very start. If it turns out that somebody somehow circumvents the user-level libc 64-bit sign extension and actually uses a large unsigned 64-bit timeout despite that not being how poll() is supposed to work, we will need to do the compat_sys_poll() approach.

2012-02-21rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocationGreg Rose
Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application. At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information about the VFs belonging to the interface. This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions. Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel. Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE. With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible in the future.

2012-02-21sock: Introduce the SO_PEEK_OFF sock optionPavel Emelyanov
This one specifies where to start MSG_PEEK-ing queue data from. When set to negative value means that MSG_PEEK works as ususally -- peeks from the head of the queue always. When some bytes are peeked from queue and the peeking offset is non negative it is moved forward so that the next peek will return next portion of data. When non-peeking recvmsg occurs and the peeking offset is non negative is is moved backward so that the next peek will still peek the proper data (i.e. the one that would have been picked if there were no non peeking recv in between). The offset is set using per-proto opteration to let the protocol handle the locking issues and to check whether the peeking offset feature is supported by the protocol the socket belongs to.

2012-02-21percpu: use raw_local_irq_* in _this_cpu opMing Lei
It doesn't make sense to trace irq off or do irq flags lock proving inside 'this_cpu' operations, so replace local_irq_* with raw_local_irq_* in 'this_cpu' op. Also the patch fixes onelockdep warning[1] by the replacement, see below: In commit: 933393f58fef9963eac61db8093689544e29a600(percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants), local_irq_save/restore(flags) are added inside this_cpu_inc operation, so that trace_hardirqs_off_caller will be called by trace_hardirqs_on_caller directly because __debug_atomic_inc is implemented as this_cpu_inc, which may trigger the lockdep warning[1], for example in the below ARM scenary: kernel_thread_helper /*irq disabled*/ ->trace_hardirqs_on_caller /*hardirqs_enabled was set*/ ->trace_hardirqs_off_caller /*hardirqs_enabled cleared*/ __this_cpu_add(redundant_hardirqs_on) ->trace_hardirqs_off_caller /*irq disabled, so call here*/ The 'unannotated irqs-on' warning will be triggered somewhere because irq is just enabled after the irq trace in kernel_thread_helper.

2012-02-21rcu: Add RCU_NONIDLE() for idle-loop RCU read-side critical sectionsPaul E. McKenney
RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched read-side critical sections are forbidden in the inner idle loop, that is, between the rcu_idle_enter() and the rcu_idle_exit() -- RCU will happily ignore any such read-side critical sections. However, things like powertop need tracepoints in the inner idle loop. This commit therefore provides an RCU_NONIDLE() macro that can be used to wrap code in the idle loop that requires RCU read-side critical sections.

2012-02-21rcu: Check for illegal use of RCU from offlined CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Although it is legal to use RCU during early boot, it is anything but legal to use RCU at runtime from an offlined CPU. After all, RCU explicitly ignores offlined CPUs. This commit therefore adds checks for runtime use of RCU from offlined CPUs. These checks are not perfect, in particular, they can be subverted through use of things like rcu_dereference_raw(). Note that it is not possible to put checks in rcu_read_lock() and friends due to the fact that these primitives are used in code that might be used under either RCU or lock-based protection, which means that checking rcu_read_lock() gets you fat piles of false positives.

2012-02-21rcu: Note that rcu_access_pointer() can be used for teardownPaul E. McKenney
There is no convenient expression for rcu_deference_protected() when it is used in tearing down multilinked structures following a grace period. For example, suppose that an element containing an RCU-protected pointer to a second element is removed from an enclosing RCU-protected data structure, then the write-side lock is released, and finally synchronize_rcu() is invoked to wait for a grace period. Then it is necessary to traverse the pointer in order to free up the second element. But we are not in an RCU read-side critical section and we are holding no locks, so the usual rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() primitives are not appropriate. Neither is rcu_dereference_raw(), as it is intended for use in data structures where the user defines the locking design (for example, list_head). So this responsibility is added to rcu_access_pointer()'s list, and this commit updates rcu_assign_pointer()'s header comment accordingly.

Unfortunately, rcu_might_sleep() currently only checks for RCU-bh and RCU-sched read-side critical sections.

2012-02-21rcu: Simplify unboosting checksPaul E. McKenney
This is a port of commit #82e78d80 from TREE_PREEMPT_RCU to TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This commit uses the fact that current->rcu_boost_mutex is set any time that the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED flag is set in the current->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask. This allows tests of the bit to be changed to tests of the pointer, which in turn allows the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED flag to be eliminated. Please note that the check of current->rcu_read_unlock_special need not change because any time that RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BOOSTED was set, so was RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED. Therefore, __rcu_read_unlock() can continue testing current->rcu_read_unlock_special for non-zero, as before. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-02-21rcu: Prevent RCU callbacks from executing before scheduler initializedPaul E. McKenney
This is a port of commit #b0d3041 from TREE_RCU to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Under some rare but real combinations of configuration parameters, RCU callbacks are posted during early boot that use kernel facilities that are not yet initialized. Therefore, when these callbacks are invoked, hard hangs and crashes ensue. This commit therefore prevents RCU callbacks from being invoked until after the scheduler is fully up and running, as in after multiple tasks have been spawned. It might well turn out that a better approach is to identify the specific RCU callbacks that are causing this problem, but that discussion will wait until such time as someone really needs an RCU callback to be invoked (as opposed to merely registered) during early boot.

2012-02-21rcu: Avoid waking up CPUs having only kfree_rcu() callbacksPaul E. McKenney
When CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is enabled, RCU will allow a given CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode even if it still has RCU callbacks queued. RCU avoids system hangs in this case by scheduling a timer for several jiffies in the future. However, if all of the callbacks on that CPU are from kfree_rcu(), there is no reason to wake the CPU up, as it is not a problem to defer freeing of memory. This commit therefore tracks the number of callbacks on a given CPU that are from kfree_rcu(), and avoids scheduling the timer if all of a given CPU's callbacks are from kfree_rcu().

If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!=' operators within one filter string.

I'm using kernel 2.6.33 and ebtables 2.0.10-4 According to Bart De Schuymer, userspace alignment was changed to _xt_align to fix an alignment issue on a userspace32-kernel64 system (he thinks it was for an ARM device). So userspace must be right. The kernel alignment macro needs to change so it also uses _xt_align instead of ebt_replace. The userspace changes date back from June 29, 2009.

We gain an extra dentry pointer per struct regulator and struct regulator_dev but that should be ok because most distros have debugfs compiled in anyway.

2012-02-20aio: Use __kernel_ulong_t to define aio_context_tH. Peter Anvin
Rather than using "unsigned long" which is ABI-dependent, use __kernel_ulong_t to define the externally visible type aio_context_t. Note: the change in this form will cause unsigned long/unsigned int differences on existing ABIs. If that is unacceptable we may have to define a new type. Signed-off-by: H.

2012-02-20compat: Add helper functions to read/write struct timeval, timespecH. Peter Anvin
Add helper functions to read and write struct timeval and struct timespec from userspace. We already had helper functions for reading and writing struct compat_timespec; add a set of functions to do the same with struct timeval, and add a second suite of functions which can be sensitive to COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME and access either 32- or 64-bit time structures. This also exports these helper functions to modules. Rename the existing inlines for converting between struct compat_timeval and native struct timespec so we can have a saner naming convention for the exported functions.

2012-02-19[SCSI] libsas: execute transport link resets with libata-eh via host workqueueDan Williams
Link resets leave ata affiliations intact, so arrange for libsas to make an effort to avoid dropping the device due to a slow-to-recover link. Towards this end carry out reset in the host workqueue so that it can check for ata devices and kick the reset request to libata. Hard resets, in contrast, bypass libata since they are meant for associating an ata device with another initiator in the domain (tears down affiliations). Need to add a new transport_sas_phy_reset() since the current sas_phy_reset() is a utility function to libsas lldds. They are not prepared for it to loop back into eh.

2012-02-19Delete the __FD_*() funcs for operating on fd_set from linux/time.hDavid Howells
Delete the __FD_*() functions for operating on fd_set structs from linux/time.h as they're no longer used within the kernel with the preceding patch and are not exported to userspace. Whilst linux/time.h *does* export the FD_*() equivalents as wrappers around __FD_*(), userspace provides its own definition of __FD_*(). Note that the definition of FD_ZERO() in linux/time.h may not be used with the fd_sets associated with struct fdtable as the fd_set may have been allocated in a truncated fashion.

2012-02-19Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longsDavid Howells
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros. This: (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set: (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the fd_set at all? (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set. (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely. (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to userspace.

2012-02-19Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtableDavid Howells
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the fd_sets. The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted, since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths. This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags: void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt); bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt); Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because they require the caller to hold a lock to use them. Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the the array. Possibly that should exist too.

2012-02-19[SCSI] virtio-scsi: SCSI driver for QEMU based virtual machinesPaolo Bonzini
The virtio-scsi HBA is the basis of an alternative storage stack for QEMU-based virtual machines (including KVM). Compared to virtio-blk it is more scalable, because it supports many LUNs on a single PCI slot), more powerful (it more easily supports passthrough of host devices to the guest) and more easily extensible (new SCSI features implemented by QEMU should not require updating the driver in the guest).
