Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to
eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
direction.
Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register
callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
socket();
bind();
send();
recv();
But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
easier way:
int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
struct cb_id
{
__u32 idx;
__u32 val;
};
idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a
callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
will be received by connector core.
Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
users.
Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

The bulk of the change. Use per cpu MCA/INIT stacks. Change the SAL
to OS state (sos) to be per process. Do all the assembler work on the
MCA/INIT stacks, leaving the original stack alone. Pass per cpu state
data to the C handlers for MCA and INIT, which also means changing the
mca_drv interfaces slightly. Lots of verification on whether the
original stack is usable before converting it to a sleeping process.

The original API returned either an ERR_PTR() or a refcounted sdev.
Unfortunately, if it's successful, you need to do a scsi_device_put() on
the sdev otherwise the refcounting is wrong.
Everyone seems to expect that scsi_add_device() should be callable
without doing the ref put, so alter the API so it is (we still have
__scsi_add_device with the original behaviour).
The only actual caller that needs altering is the one in firewire ...
not because it gets this right, but because it acts on the error if one
is returned.

Turns out that, for UML, a *lot* of VM-related trivial functions are not
inlined but rather normal functions.
In other sections of UML code, this is justified by having files which
interact with the host and cannot therefore include kernel headers, but in
this case there's no such justification.
I've had to turn many of them to macros because of missing declarations. While
doing this, I've decided to reuse some already existing macros.

Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This
may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess
what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it
should be correct anyway adding it.
On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to
asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section,
used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to
that.
In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour
after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This
may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults.
However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at
least for the sake of cleanness.

This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu
is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It
can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
connected to a GPIO pin.
With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages. If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.
This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.

This patch implements a task state bit (TASK_NONINTERACTIVE), which can be
used by blocking points to mark the task's wait as "non-interactive". This
does not mean the task will be considered a CPU-hog - the wait will simply
not have an effect on the waiting task's priority - positive or negative
alike. Right now only pipe_wait() will make use of it, because it's a
common source of not-so-interactive waits (kernel compilation jobs, etc.).

The cpusets-formalize-intermediate-gfp_kernel-containment patch
has a deadlock problem.
This patch was part of a set of four patches to make more
extensive use of the cpuset 'mem_exclusive' attribute to
manage kernel GFP_KERNEL memory allocations and to constrain
the out-of-memory (oom) killer.
A task that is changing cpusets in particular ways on a system
when it is very short of free memory could double trip over
the global cpuset_sem semaphore (get the lock and then deadlock
trying to get it again).
The second attempt to get cpuset_sem would be in the routine
cpuset_zone_allowed(). This was discovered by code inspection.
I can not reproduce the problem except with an artifically
hacked kernel and a specialized stress test.
In real life you cannot hit this unless you are manipulating
cpusets, and are very unlikely to hit it unless you are rapidly
modifying cpusets on a memory tight system. Even then it would
be a rare occurence.
If you did hit it, the task double tripping over cpuset_sem
would deadlock in the kernel, and any other task also trying
to manipulate cpusets would deadlock there too, on cpuset_sem.
Your batch manager would be wedged solid (if it was cpuset
savvy), but classic Unix shells and utilities would work well
enough to reboot the system.
The unusual condition that led to this bug is that unlike most
semaphores, cpuset_sem _can_ be acquired while in the page
allocation code, when __alloc_pages() calls cpuset_zone_allowed.
So it easy to mistakenly perform the following sequence:
1) task makes system call to alter a cpuset
2) take cpuset_sem
3) try to allocate memory
4) memory allocator, via cpuset_zone_allowed, trys to take cpuset_sem
5) deadlock
The reason that this is not a serious bug for most users
is that almost all calls to allocate memory don't require
taking cpuset_sem. Only some code paths off the beaten
track require taking cpuset_sem -- which is good. Taking
a global semaphore on the main code path for allocating
memory would not scale well.
This patch fixes this deadlock by wrapping the up() and down()
calls on cpuset_sem in kernel/cpuset.c with code that tracks
the nesting depth of the current task on that semaphore, and
only does the real down() if the task doesn't hold the lock
already, and only does the real up() if the nesting depth
(number of unmatched downs) is exactly one.
The previous required use of refresh_mems(), anytime that
the cpuset_sem semaphore was acquired and the code executed
while holding that semaphore might try to allocate memory, is
no longer required. Two refresh_mems() calls were removed
thanks to this. This is a good change, as failing to get
all the necessary refresh_mems() calls placed was a primary
source of bugs in this cpuset code. The only remaining call
to refresh_mems() is made while doing a memory allocation,
if certain task memory placement data needs to be updated
from its cpuset, due to the cpuset having been changed behind
the tasks back.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:
- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.
The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:
include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16
I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h
/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
* builds the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*/
All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.
arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers. m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.

Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.
If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).

Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have
been flushed.
To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented
each time the raid5 is unplugged.
If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes,
and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write.
When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that
write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq
number.
We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush
and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so
should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.
