2008-06-23ftrace: avoid modifying kprobe'd recordsAbhishek Sagar
Avoid modifying the mcount call-site if there is a kprobe installed on it. These records are not marked as failed however. This allowed the filter rules on them to remain up-to-date. Whenever the kprobe on the corresponding record is removed, the record gets updated as normal.

2008-06-23ftrace: freeze kprobe'd recordsAbhishek Sagar
Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to check if they should be traced.

2008-06-23ftrace: store mcount address in rec->ipAbhishek Sagar
Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64 record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

Receiving packets while we are cleaning up a network namespace is a racy proposition. It is possible when the packet arrives that we have removed some but not all of the state we need to fully process it. We have the choice of either playing wack-a-mole with the cleanup routines or simply dropping packets when we don't have a network namespace to handle them. Since the check looks inexpensive in netif_receive_skb let's just drop the incoming packets. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-06-20alpha: resurrect Cypress IDE quirkIvan Kokshaysky
Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE. It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout: secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the generic quirk routine assumes.

2008-06-20alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438)Ivan Kokshaysky
Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings about static functions and objects being referenced from non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction with our -Werror. We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline", as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline" logic is crucial for generic kernel build. So - just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline" functions are also "extern inline"; - use "static inline", wherever it's possible. traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array bounds-checking. TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline" functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

2008-06-20alpha: link failure fixIvan Kokshaysky
With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following error: `.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4 versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3. The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to discarded section. Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables. Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem, other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider -fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

2008-06-20alpha: fix module load failures on smp (bug #10926)Ivan Kokshaysky
To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G. The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation. I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

2008-06-20[watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assemblyLinus Torvalds
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken, and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its own prologue and epilogue on top of it all. This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't matter, since it would never be reached). But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this. Move the inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

2008-06-20Reinstate ZERO_PAGE optimization in 'get_user_pages()' and fix XIPLinus Torvalds
KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki and Oleg Nesterov point out that since the commit 557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") removed the ZERO_PAGE from the VM mappings, any users of get_user_pages() will generally now populate the VM with real empty pages needlessly. We used to get the ZERO_PAGE when we did the "handle_mm_fault()", but since fault handling no longer uses ZERO_PAGE for new anonymous pages, we now need to handle that special case in follow_page() instead. In particular, the removal of ZERO_PAGE effectively removed the core file writing optimization where we would skip writing pages that had not been populated at all, and increased memory pressure a lot by allocating all those useless newly zeroed pages. This reinstates the optimization by making the unmapped PTE case the same as for a non-existent page table, which already did this correctly. While at it, this also fixes the XIP case for follow_page(), where the caller could not differentiate between the case of a page that simply could not be used (because it had no "struct page" associated with it) and a page that just wasn't mapped. We do that by simply returning an error pointer for pages that could not be turned into a "struct page *". The error is arbitrarily picked to be EFAULT, since that was what get_user_pages() already used for the equivalent IO-mapped page case. [ Also removed an impossible test for pte_offset_map_lock() failing: that's not how that function works ] Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-06-20Ext4: Fix online resize block group descriptor corruptionFrederic Bohe
This is the patch for the group descriptor table corruption during online resize pointed out by Theodore Tso. The problem was caused by the fact that the ext4 group descriptor can be either 32 or 64 bytes long. Only the 64 bytes structure was taken into account.

2008-06-19sched, delay accounting: fix incorrect delay time when constantly waiting on ↵Bharath Ravi
runqueue This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state), the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this, the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state. The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs. The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported back to user space.

2008-06-19hwmon: (abituguru3) update driver detectionHans de Goede
It has been reported that the abituguru3 driver fails to load after a BIOS update. This patch fixes this by loosening the detection routine so that it will work after the BIOS update too. To compensate for the now very loose detection an additional check is added on the DMI Base Board vendor string to make sure we only load on Abit motherboards, this is the same as the check in the abituguru (1 / 2) driver.
