2010-02-24virtio: console: Register with sysfs and create a 'name' attribute for portsAmit Shah
The host can set a name for ports so that they're easily discoverable instead of going by the /dev/vportNpn naming. This attribute will be placed in /sys/class/virtio-ports/vportNpn/name. udev scripts can then create symlinks to the port using the name.

2010-02-24virtio: console: Add file operations to ports for open/read/write/pollAmit Shah
Allow guest userspace applications to open, read from, write to, poll the ports via the char dev interface. When a port gets opened, a notification is sent to the host via a control message indicating a connection has been established. Similarly, on closing of the port, a notification is sent indicating disconnection. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2010-02-24virtio: console: Add a new MULTIPORT feature, support for generic portsAmit Shah
This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for that device. New ports are spawned according to this information. The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be hot-plugged in later. Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to hvc consoles. We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window, etc. Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

2010-02-24virtio: Add ability to detach unused buffers from vringsShirley Ma

2010-02-24virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)Adam Litke
Changes since V3: - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes - Minor coding style updates Changes since V2: - Increase stat field size to 64 bits - Report all sizes in kb (not pages) - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion Changes since V1: - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor. This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and reporting to the virtio balloon driver.

2010-02-18Input: add KEY_RFKILLMatthew Garrett
Most laptops have keys that are intended to toggle all device state, not just wifi. These are currently generally mapped to KEY_WLAN. As a result, rfkill will only kill or enable wifi in response to the key press. This confuses users and can make it difficult for them to enable bluetooth and wwan devices. This patch adds a new keycode, KEY_RFKILL. It indicates that the system should toggle the state of all rfkillable devices.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix hash resizing with namespacesPatrick McHardy
As noticed by Jon Masters <jonathan@jonmasters.org>, the conntrack hash size is global and not per namespace, but modifiable at runtime through /sys/module/nf_conntrack/hashsize. Changing the hash size will only resize the hash in the current namespace however, so other namespaces will use an invalid hash size. This can cause crashes when enlarging the hashsize, or false negative lookups when shrinking it. Move the hash size into the per-namespace data and only use the global hash size to initialize the per-namespace value when instanciating a new namespace. Additionally restrict hash resizing to init_net for now as other namespaces are not handled currently. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-02-08netfilter: nf_conntrack: per netns nf_conntrack_cachepEric Dumazet
nf_conntrack_cachep is currently shared by all netns instances, but because of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU special semantics, this is wrong. If we use a shared slab cache, one object can instantly flight between one hash table (netns ONE) to another one (netns TWO), and concurrent reader (doing a lookup in netns ONE, 'finding' an object of netns TWO) can be fooled without notice, because no RCU grace period has to be observed between object freeing and its reuse. We dont have this problem with UDP/TCP slab caches because TCP/UDP hashtables are global to the machine (and each object has a pointer to its netns). If we use per netns conntrack hash tables, we also *must* use per netns conntrack slab caches, to guarantee an object can not escape from one namespace to another one.

The counters are now updated independently, from measuring the file, in __dentry_open() and alloc_file() by calling ima_counts_get(). ima_path_check() is called from nfsd and do_filp_open(). It also did not measure all files that should have been measured. Reason: ima_path_check() got bogus value passed as mask.

2010-02-03HID: make raw reports possible for both feature and output reportsJiri Kosina
In commit 2da31939a42 ("Bluetooth: Implement raw output support for HIDP layer"), support for Bluetooth hid_output_raw_report was added, but it pushes the data to the intr socket instead of the ctrl one. This has been fixed by 6bf8268f9a91f1 ("Bluetooth: Use the control channel for raw HID reports") Still, it is necessary to distinguish whether the report in question should be either FEATURE or OUTPUT. For this, we have to extend the generic HID API, so that hid_output_raw_report() callback provides means to specify this value so that it can be passed down to lower level hardware drivers (currently Bluetooth and USB).

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about (un)registered events from connector. Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some other clients were (un)registered.

2010-02-01softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resumeJason Wessel
When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, sched_clock() gets the time from hardware such as the TSC on x86. In this configuration kgdb will report a softlock warning message on resuming or detaching from a debug session. Sequence of events in the problem case: 1) "cpu sched clock" and "hardware time" are at 100 sec prior to a call to kgdb_handle_exception() 2) Debugger waits in kgdb_handle_exception() for 80 sec and on exit the following is called ... touch_softlockup_watchdog() --> __raw_get_cpu_var(touch_timestamp) = 0; 3) "cpu sched clock" = 100s (it was not updated, because the interrupt was disabled in kgdb) but the "hardware time" = 180 sec 4) The first timer interrupt after resuming from kgdb_handle_exception updates the watchdog from the "cpu sched clock" update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> check (touch_timestamp == 0) (it is "YES" here, we have set "touch_timestamp = 0" at kgdb) --> __touch_softlockup_watchdog() ***(A)--> reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp()" (Here, the "touch_timestamp" will still be set to 100s.) ... scheduler_tick() ***(B)--> sched_clock_tick() (update "cpu sched clock" to "hardware time" = 180s) ... } 5) The Second timer interrupt handler appears to have a large jump and trips the softlockup warning. update_process_times() { ... run_local_timers() --> softlockup_tick() --> "cpu sched clock" - "touch_timestamp" = 180s-100s > 60s --> printk "soft lockup error messages" ... } note: ***(A) reset "touch_timestamp" to "get_timestamp(this_cpu)" Why is "touch_timestamp" 100 sec, instead of 180 sec? When CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set, the call trace of get_timestamp() is: get_timestamp(this_cpu) -->cpu_clock(this_cpu) -->sched_clock_cpu(this_cpu) -->__update_sched_clock(sched_clock_data, now) The __update_sched_clock() function uses the GTOD tick value to create a window to normalize the "now" values. So if "now" value is too big for sched_clock_data, it will be ignored. The fix is to invoke sched_clock_tick() to update "cpu sched clock" in order to recover from this state. This is done by introducing the function touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync(). This allows kgdb to request that the sched clock is updated when the watchdog thread runs the first time after a resume from kgdb.

2010-01-30perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debuggerJason Wessel
This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw breakpoint reservations. The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

2010-01-29Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functionsLinus Torvalds
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
