2011-01-13printk: use RCU to prevent potential lock contention in kmsg_dumpHuang Ying
dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation, kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too. But if there is contention on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be lost. This patch solves this issue with RCU. Because kmsg_dump() only read the list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump(). So that kmsg_dump() will never fail because of lock contention. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2011-01-13kptr_restrict for hiding kernel pointers from unprivileged usersDan Rosenberg
Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict sysctl. The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)".

2011-01-13kernel: clean up USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERSAmerigo Wang
For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they don't provide their own implementions. Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in kernel/softirq.c. For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g. blackfin, only on_each_cpu() is compiled.

emergency_restart paths We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service. However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final messages are lost on current Linux kernel.

2011-01-07fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: dcache rationalise dget variantsNick Piggin
dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point). However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2011-01-07fs: dcache scale subdirsNick Piggin
Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex). Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking. But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: dcache scale dentry refcountNick Piggin
Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a 0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: change d_delete semanticsNick Piggin
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07cgroup fs: avoid switching ->d_op on live dentryNick Piggin
Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general a filesystem may not do this. Fix cgroupfs so as not to do this. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2011-01-05sched: Change wait_for_completion_*_timeout() to return a signed longNeilBrown
wait_for_completion_*_timeout() can return: 0: if the wait timed out -ve: if the wait was interrupted +ve: if the completion was completed. As they currently return an 'unsigned long', the last two cases are not easily distinguished which can easily result in buggy code, as is the case for the recently added wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() call in net/sunrpc/cache.c So change them both to return 'long'. As MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT is LONG_MAX, a large +ve return value should never overflow. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: J.

2011-01-04sched, autogroup: Fix potential access to freed memoryMike Galbraith
Oleg pointed out that the /proc interface kref_get() useage may race with the final put during autogroup_move_group(). A signal->autogroup assignment may be in flight when the /proc interface dereference, leaving them taking a reference to an already dead group.

2011-01-04perf: Clean up power events by introducing new, more generic onesThomas Renninger
Add these new power trace events: power:cpu_idle power:cpu_frequency power:machine_suspend The old C-state/idle accounting events: power:power_start power:power_end Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old tracepoints for compatibility): power:cpu_idle and power:power_frequency is replaced with: power:cpu_frequency power:machine_suspend is newly introduced. Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer (kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it. the type= field got removed from both, it was never used and the type is differed by the event type itself. perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.
