2008-07-25coredump: construct the list of coredumping threads at startup timeOleg Nesterov
binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the GFP_ATOMIC allocations. With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and adds itself to the list. This allows us to do further changes: - simplify ->core_dump() - change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done. this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill - kill mm->core_done Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-25coredump: move mm->core_waiters into struct core_stateOleg Nesterov
Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack. This shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes. This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state. The only essential change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return. The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this is fixed by the next patch.

2008-07-25coredump: turn mm->core_startup_done into the pointer to struct core_stateOleg Nesterov
mm->core_startup_done points to "struct completion startup_done" allocated on the coredump_wait()'s stack. Introduce the new structure, core_state, which holds this "struct completion". This way we can add more info visible to the threads participating in coredump without enlarging mm_struct. No changes in affected .o files.

2008-07-25kill PF_BORROWED_MM in favour of PF_KTHREADOleg Nesterov
Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users. No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further fixes/cleanups. oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper: /* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */ struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk) { if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD) return NULL; return tsk->mm; } Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

2008-07-25introduce PF_KTHREAD flagOleg Nesterov
Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead). daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway. This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler(). Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die soon.

2008-07-25ptrace: give more respect to SIGKILLOleg Nesterov
ptrace_stop() has some complicated checks to prevent the scheduling in the TASK_TRACED state with the pending SIGKILL, but these checks are racy, and they depend on arch_ptrace_stop_needed(). This patch assumes that the traced task should die asap if it was killed by SIGKILL, in that case schedule()->signal_pending_state() has no reason to ignore the TASK_WAKEKILL part of TASK_TRACED, and we can kill this nasty special case. Note: do_exit()->ptrace_notify() is special, the killed task can already dequeue SIGKILL at this point. Another indication that fatal_signal_pending() is not exactly right.

A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge. Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from mem_cgroup. In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for global resource (like file caches). So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

2008-07-25memcg: better migration handlingKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a different algorithm. (thanks to Christoph for new idea.) Before: - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page. After: - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup. Pros: - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration. Cons: - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common(). - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong. This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton under memory resource controller. new refcnt sequence is following. a mapped page: prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page try_to_unmap() ..... all refs to OLD page is gone. move_pages() ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache. remap... ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one. end_migration() ..... -1 to New page. page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.

2008-07-25cgroup_clone: use pid of newly created task for new cgroupSerge E. Hallyn
cgroup_clone creates a new cgroup with the pid of the task. This works correctly for unshare, but for clone cgroup_clone is called from copy_namespaces inside copy_process, which happens before the new pid is created. As a result, the new cgroup was created with current's pid. This patch: 1. Moves the call inside copy_process to after the new pid is created 2. Passes the struct pid into ns_cgroup_clone (as it is not yet attached to the task) 3. Passes a name from ns_cgroup_clone() into cgroup_clone() so as to keep cgroup_clone() itself simpler 4. Uses pid_vnr() to get the process id value, so that the pid used to name the new cgroup is always the pid as it would be known to the task which did the cloning or unsharing. I think that is the most intuitive thing to do. This way, task t1 does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t2, which does clone(CLONE_NEWPID) to get t3, then the cgroup for t3 will be named for the pid by which t2 knows t3. (Thanks to Dan Smith for finding the main bug) Changelog: June 11: Incorporate Paul Menage's feedback: don't pass NULL to ns_cgroup_clone from unshare, and reduce patch size by using 'nodename' in cgroup_clone.

2008-07-25cgroup files: convert res_counter_write() to be a cgroups write_string() handlerPaul Menage
Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to pre-process the string when converting it to a number. This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path, since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

2008-07-25fatfs: add UTC timestamp optionJoe Peterson
Provide a new mount option ("tz=UTC") for DOS (vfat/msdos) filesystems, allowing timestamps to be in coordinated universal time (UTC) rather than local time in applications where doing this is advantageous. In particular, portable devices that use fat/vfat (such as digital cameras) can benefit from using UTC in their internal clocks, thus avoiding daylight saving time errors and general time ambiguity issues. The user of the device does not have to worry about changing the time when moving from place or when daylight saving changes. The new mount option, when set, disables the counter-adjustment that Linux currently makes to FAT timestamp info in anticipation of the normal userspace time zone correction. When used in this new mode, all daylight saving time and time zone handling is done in userspace as is normal for many other filesystems (like ext3). The default mode, which remains unchanged, is still appropriate when mounting volumes written in Windows (because of its use of local time). I originally based this patch on one submitted last year by Paul Collins, but I updated it to work with current source and changed variable/option naming. Ogawa Hirofumi (who maintains these filesystems) and I discussed this patch at length on lkml, and he suggested using the option name in the attached version of the patch. Barry Bouwsma pointed out a good addition to the patch as well.

2008-07-25fat: fix VFAT_IOCTL_READDIR_xxx and cleanup for userlandOGAWA Hirofumi
"struct dirent" is a kernel type here, but is a **different type** in userspace! This means both the structure and the IOCTL number is wrong! So, this adds new "struct __fat_dirent" to generate correct IOCTL number. And kernel stuff moves to under __KERNEL__.

2008-07-25coda: remove CODA_FS_OLD_APIAdrian Bunk
While fixing CONFIG_ leakages to the userspace kernel headers I ran into CODA_FS_OLD_API. After five years, are there still people using the old API left? Especially considering that you have to choose at compile time which API to support in the kernel (and distributions tend to offer the new API for some time). Jan: "The old API can definitely go. Around the time the new interface went in there were some non-Coda userspace file system implementations that took a while longer to convert to the new API, but by now they all switched to the new interface or in some cases to a FUSE-based solution."

2008-07-25gpio: mcp23s08 handles multiple chips per chipselectDavid Brownell
Teach the mcp23s08 driver about a curious feature of these chips: up to four of them can share the same chipselect, with the SPI signals wired in parallel, by matching two bits in the first protocol byte against two address lines on the chip. This is handled by three software changes: * Platform data now holds an array of per-chip structs, not just one chip's address and pullup configuration. * Probe() and remove() now use another level of structure, wrapping an instance of the original structure for each mcp23s08 chip sharing that chipselect. * The HAEN bit is set, so that the hardware address bits can no longer be ignored (boot firmware may not have enabled them). The "one struct per chip" preserves the guts of the current code, but platform_data will need minor changes. OLD: /* incorrect "slave" ID may not have mattered */ .slave = 3, .pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0), NEW: /* slave address _must_ match chip's wiring */ .chip[3] = { .is_present = true, .pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0), }, There's no change in how things _behave_ for spi_device nodes with a single mcp23s08 chip. New multi-chip configurations assign GPIOs in sequence, without holes. The spi_device just resembles a bigger controller, but internally it has multiple gpio_chip instances.

2008-07-25gpio: sysfs interfaceDavid Brownell
This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs. /sys/class/gpio /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO /base ... (r/o) same as N /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1) GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging. Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute. Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file, helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off" requirements that don't merit full kernel support: echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export ... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23); use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it, when that GPIO can be used as both input and output. echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport ... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed. Related changes: * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of that device instead of being "virtual" devices. * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have been updated. * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner" field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added. * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now flagged appropriately when the chip is registered. Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML. A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this merges to mainline.

2008-07-25kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

Presently call_usermodehelper_setup() uses GFP_ATOMIC. but it can return NULL _very_ easily. GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust and better. thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup(). So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below: call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys(): depend on 'wait' argument. call_usermodehelper_pipe(): always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context. orderly_poweroff(): pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.
