2007-02-11[PATCH] PNP: export pnp_bus_typeDavid Brownell
The PNP framework doesn't export "pnp_bus_type", which is an unfortunate exception to the policy followed by pretty much every other bus. I noticed this when I had to find a device in order to provide its platform_data. Note that per advice from Arjan, the "export" scope has been been minimized to avoid the hundred-plus bytes needed to support access from modules. In this case, the symbol is only needed by statically linked kernel code that lives outside the drivers/pnp directory.

2007-02-11[PATCH] ext2: skip pages past number of blocks in ext2_find_entryEric Sandeen
This one was pointed out on the MOKB site: http://kernelfun.blogspot.com/2006/11/mokb-09-11-2006-linux-26x-ext2checkpage.html If a directory's i_size is corrupted, ext2_find_entry() will keep processing pages until the i_size is reached, even if there are no more blocks associated with the directory inode. This patch puts in some minimal sanity-checking so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing errors) if we know there can be no more data to read, based on the block count of the directory inode. This is somewhat similar in approach to the ext3 patch I sent earlier this year.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Relay: add CPU hotplug supportMathieu Desnoyers
Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added. unplug isn't supported by this patch. The thought was that at minumum a new buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the channel was closed.

2007-02-11[PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt
The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too. Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case there are plans to use them yet.

2007-02-11[PATCH] igrab() should check for I_CLEARJan Blunck
When igrab() is calling __iget() on an inode it should check if clear_inode() has been called on the inode already. Otherwise there is a race window between clear_inode() and destroy_inode() where igrab() calls __iget() which leads to already free inodes on the inode lists.

2007-02-11[PATCH] struct vfsmount: keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark away from mnt_flagsEric Dumazet
I noticed cache misses in touch_atime() that can be avoided if we keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark in a different cache line than mnt_flags (mostly read) mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark are modified each time a file is opened/closed in a file system. touch_atime() is called each time a file is read, and generally needs to read mnt_flags. Other fields of struct vfsmount are mostly read so I chose to move mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark at the end of struct vfsmount. And adding a comment so that nobody tries to re-arrange fields to fill the holes :) On 64bits platforms, the new offsetof(mnt_count) is 0xC0 On 32bits platforms, it is 0x60, so I didnot add a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp because it would have a too big impact on the size of this object (in particular if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-02-11[PATCH] disable init/initramfs.cJean-Paul Saman
The file init/initramfs.c is always compiled and linked in the kernel vmlinux even when BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INITRD are disabled and the system isn't using any form of an initramfs or initrd. In this situation the code is only used to unpack a (static) default initial rootfilesystem. The current init/initramfs.c code. usr/initramfs_data.o compiles to a size of ~15 kbytes. Disabling BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INTRD shrinks the kernel code size with ~60 Kbytes. This patch avoids compiling in the code and data for initramfs support if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not defined. Instead of the initramfs code and data it uses a small routine in init/noinitramfs.c to setup an initial static default environment for mounting a rootfilesystem later on in the kernel initialisation process. The new code is: 164 bytes of size. The patch is separated in two parts: 1) doesn't compile initramfs code when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set 2) changing all plaforms vmlinux.lds.S files to not reserve an area of PAGE_SIZE when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set.

This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.

Add retain_initrd option to control freeing of initrd memory after extraction. By default, free memory as previously. The first boot will need to hold a copy of the in memory fs for the second boot. This image can be large (much larger than the kernel), hence we can save time when the memory loader is slow.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: x86_64 ptrace fixesJeff Dike
This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64. PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is hooked up and implemented. This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas slightly to take a task_struct to modify. Previously, it always operated on current. Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the code that implements that. It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so the same code can be used.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: x86_64 thread fixesJeff Dike
x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context switch. The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the register file. arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process when it runs again.

2007-02-11[PATCH] uml: fix error output during early bootJeff Dike
The startup code panics a lot if anything goes wrong early on. This is wrong for several reasons, like the kernel isn't running, so you can't really be calling into it yet, but the harm comes from useful error messages being trapped in the printk ring where no one will ever see them. This patch changes these panics to perror and printf in wrappers which also exit. Normal, informational, prints are also wrapped so that fflush(stdout) is called after each one. This is so the output appears in the correct sequence in the event of an error.

Comment the lack of locking of data that's set up once at boot time. Also fixed a couple of bogus printks.
