2007-07-20[SPARC/64] Rename some functions like PowerPCStephen Rothwell
This is to make the of merge easier. Also rename of_bus_type. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-20Begin consolidation of of_device.hStephen Rothwell
This just moves the common stuff from the arch of_device.h files to linux/of_device.h. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-20Consolidate of_find_node_by routinesStephen Rothwell
This consolidates the routines of_find_node_by_path, of_find_node_by_name, of_find_node_by_type and of_find_compatible_device. Again, the comparison of strings are done differently by Sparc and PowerPC and also these add read_locks around the iterations.

2007-07-20Consolidate of_get_parentStephen Rothwell
This requires creating dummy of_node_{get,put} routines for sparc and sparc64. It also adds a read_lock around the parent accesses. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-20Consolidate of_find_propertyStephen Rothwell
The only change here is that a readlock is taken while the property list is being traversed on Sparc where it was not taken previously. Also, Sparc uses strcasecmp to compare property names while PowerPC uses strcmp. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Acked-by: David S.

2007-07-20mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

2007-07-19i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpaeAvi Kivity
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family. Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(), this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae. Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

2007-07-19user namespace: fix copy_user_ns return valueSerge E. Hallyn
When a CONFIG_USER_NS=n and a user tries to unshare some namespace other than the user namespace, the dummy copy_user_ns returns NULL rather than the old_ns. This value then gets assigned to task->nsproxy->user_ns, so that a subsequent setuid, which uses task->nsproxy->user_ns, causes a NULL pointer deref. Fix this by returning old_ns.

2007-07-19lguest: the guest codeRusty Russell
lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux. Unlike kvm it doesn't need VT/SVM hardware. Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go". Unlike both, it's 5000 lines and self-contained. Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile). But given its hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which it supplies a complete example for. There's also a 64-bit version being worked on and other craziness. But most of all, lguest is awesome fun! Too much of the kernel is a big ball of hair. lguest is simple enough to dive into and hack, plus has some warts which scream "fork me!".

2007-07-19lockstat: measure lock bouncingPeter Zijlstra
__acquire | lock _____ | \ | __contended | | | wait | _______/ |/ | __acquired | __release | unlock We measure acquisition and contention bouncing. This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance. Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we move __acquired into the generic path. __acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it. __contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable locks) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-07-19lockstat: core infrastructurePeter Zijlstra
Introduce the core lock statistics code. Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few call-sites that encounter contention are tracked. Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of a too coarse locking scheme. Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective. 1) lock 2) ... do stuff .. unlock 3) The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the hold-time. The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure for lock instrumentation. Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks: lock() lock_acquire() _lock() ... code protected by lock ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention. lock_contended() - used to measure contention events lock_acquired() - completion of the contention These are then placed the following way: lock() lock_acquire() if (!_try_lock()) lock_contended() _lock() lock_acquired() ... do locked stuff ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform dependent lock primitive implementations.) It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using: /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat (esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke unneeded ifdefs] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-19fix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdepPeter Zijlstra
Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock statistics. It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that encountered contention. It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number of event can give the avg). All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read (shared state). The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is minimized via having no global cachemisses. This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance. This patch: raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself relies on it.

2007-07-19coda: remove struct coda_sb_infoJan Harkes
The sb_info structure only contains a single pointer to the character device, there is no need for the added indirection. Signed-off-by: Jan Harkes <jaharkes@cs.cmu.edu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-19coda: block signals during upcall processingJan Harkes
We ignore signals for about 30 seconds to give userspace a chance to see the upcall. As we did not block signals we ended up in a busy loop for the remainder of the period when a signal is received.

2007-07-19i386: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segmentRoland McGrath
This changes the i386 linker script and the asm-generic macro it uses so that ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along with other read-only data. The PT_NOTE also points to their location. This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.
