2007-07-16console: console handover to preferred consoleYinghai Lu
for earlyprintk=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 the handover will happen from earlyser0 to tty0. but what we want is to hand over to ttyS0. Later with serial-convert-early_uart-to-earlycon-for-8250.patch, console=tty0 console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 will handover to ttyS0 instead of tty0.

2007-07-13[PATCH] sched: fix show_task()/show_tasks() outputIngo Molnar
fix show_task()/show_tasks() output: - there's no sibling info anymore - the fields were not aligned properly with the description - get rid of the lazy-TLB output: it's been quite some time since we last had a bug there, and when we had a bug it wasnt helped a bit by this debug output.

2007-07-13[PATCH] sched: remove stale version info from kernel/sched_debug.cIngo Molnar
kernel/sched_debug.c referred to CFS -v20, but there's no CFS versioning needed within the upstream kernel. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-07-13[PATCH] sched: fix prio_to_wmult[] for nice 1Mike Galbraith
There's a typo in the values in prio_to_wmult[] for nice level 1. While it did not cause bad CPU distribution, but caused more rescheduling between nice-0 and nice-1 tasks than necessary. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-07-11security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmapEric Paris
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to 0, preserving existing behavior. This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2007-07-11sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

2007-07-10pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe
The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh Dickins a bit. A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really there, and that the contents are good. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10relay: use splice_to_pipe() instead of open-coding the pipe loopJens Axboe
It cleans up the relay splice implementation a lot, and gets rid of a lot of internal pipe knowledge that should not be in there. Plus fixes for padding and partial first page (and lots more) from Tom Zanussi. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-07-09sched: style cleanupsIngo Molnar
4 small style cleanups to sched.c: checkpatch.pl is now happy about the totality of sched.c [ignoring false positives] - yay! ;-) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: do not set softirqs to nice +19Ingo Molnar
do not set softirqs to nice +19. _If_ for whatever reason we missed to process some high-prio softirq and woke up ksoftirqd, we should give it a fair chance to actually get some work done, even if the system is under load. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: scheduler debugging, coreIngo Molnar

2007-07-09sched: add CFS debug sysctlsIngo Molnar
add CFS debug sysctls: only tweakable if SCHED_DEBUG is enabled. This allows for faster debugging of scheduler problems. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: remove unused rq types from sched.cIngo Molnar

2007-07-09sched: x86, track TSC-unstable eventsIngo Molnar
track TSC-unstable events and propagate it to the scheduler code. Also allow sched_clock() to be used when the TSC is unstable, the rq_clock() wrapper creates a reliable clock out of it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: cfs core codeIngo Molnar
apply the CFS core code. this change switches over the scheduler core to CFS's modular design and makes use of kernel/sched_fair/rt/idletask.c to implement Linux's scheduling policies. thanks to Andrew Morton and Thomas Gleixner for lots of detailed review feedback and for fixlets.

2007-07-09sched: remove the sleep-bonus interactivity codeIngo Molnar
remove the sleep-bonus interactivity code from the core scheduler. scheduling policy is implemented in the policy modules, and CFS does not need such type of heuristics. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: remove expired_starving()Ingo Molnar
remove the expired_starving() heuristics from the core scheduler. CFS does not need it, and this did not really work well in practice anyway, due to the rq->nr_running multiplier to STARVATION_LIMIT. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: remove sleep_typeIngo Molnar
remove the sleep_type heuristics from the core scheduler - scheduling policy is implemented in the scheduling-policy modules. (and CFS does not use this type of sleep-type heuristics) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-07-09sched: add rq_clock()/__rq_clock()Ingo Molnar
add rq_clock()/__rq_clock(), a robust wrapper around sched_clock(), used by CFS. It protects against common type of sched_clock() problems (caused by hardware): time warps forwards and backwards. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: cfs rq data typesIngo Molnar
add the CFS rq data types to sched.c. (the old scheduler fields are still intact, they are removed by a later patch) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: cfs core, kernel/sched_idletask.cIngo Molnar
add kernel/sched_idletask.c - which implements the idle thread scheduling class. This further simplifies sched.c (under CFS), for example a number of 'if (p == rq->idle)' type of special-cases can be removed from sched.c, and schedule() gets simpler too. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: cfs core, kernel/sched_rt.cIngo Molnar
add kernel/sched_rt.c: SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR support. The behavior and semantics of SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR tasks is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: cfs core, kernel/sched_fair.cIngo Molnar
add kernel/sched_fair.c - which implements the bulk of CFS's behavioral changes for SCHED_OTHER tasks. see Documentation/sched-design-CFS.txt about details.

2007-07-09sched: add init_idle_bootup_task()Ingo Molnar
add the init_idle_bootup_task() callback to the bootup thread, unused at the moment. (CFS will use it to switch the scheduling class of the boot thread to the idle class) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-09sched: remove sched_exit()Ingo Molnar
remove sched_exit(): the elaborate dance of us trying to recover timeslices given to child tasks never really worked. CFS does not need it either. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
