2007-03-01[PATCH] fix section mismatch warning in lockdepSam Ravnborg
lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places outside __init code. This causes following warnings: $ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35) WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2) The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not altered. Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which seems obviously wrong.

2007-03-01[PATCH] Fix posix-cpu-timer breakage caused by stale p->last_ran valueThomas Gleixner
Problem description at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8048 Commit b18ec80396834497933d77b81ec0918519f4e2a7 [PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers. The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was scheduled away.

2007-02-26[PATCH] genirq: Mask irqs when migrating them.Eric W. Biederman
move_native_irqs tries to do the right thing when migrating irqs by disabling them. However disabling them is a software logical thing, not a hardware thing. This has always been a little flaky and after Ingo's latest round of changes it is guaranteed to not mask the apic. So this patch fixes move_native_irq to directly call the mask and unmask chip methods to guarantee that we mask the irq when we are migrating it. We must do this as it is required by all code that call into the path. Since we don't know the masked status when IRQ_DISABLED is set so we will not be able to restore it. The patch makes the code just give up and trying again the next time this routing is called. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-17[PATCH] audit config lockdownSteve Grubb
The following patch adds a new mode to the audit system. It uses the audit_enabled config option to introduce the idea of audit enabled, but configuration is immutable. Any attempt to change the configuration while in this mode is audited. To change the audit rules, you'd need to reboot the machine. To use this option, you'd need a modified version of auditctl and use "-e 2". This is intended to go at the end of the audit.rules file for people that want an immutable configuration. This patch also adds "res=" to a number of configuration commands that did not have it before. Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2007-02-16Driver core: let request_module() send a /sys/modules/kmod/-ueventKay Sievers
On recent systems, calls to /sbin/modprobe are handled by udev depending on the kind of device the kernel has discovered. This patch creates an uevent for the kernels internal request_module(), to let udev take control over the request, instead of forking the binary directly by the kernel. The direct execution of /sbin/modprobe can be disabled by setting: /sys/module/kmod/mod_request_helper (/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe) to an empty string, the same way /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is disabled on an udev system.

2007-02-16[PATCH] genirq: do not mask interrupts by defaultIngo Molnar
Never mask interrupts immediately upon request. Disabling interrupts in high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively only masking interrupts after they happen. (NOTE: with this change the highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.)

2007-02-16[PATCH] posix timers: RCU optimization for clock_gettime()Paul E. McKenney
Use RCU to avoid the need to acquire tasklist_lock in the single-threaded case of clock_gettime(). It still acquires tasklist_lock when for a (potentially multithreaded) process. This change allows realtime applications to frequently monitor CPU consumption of individual tasks, as requested (and now deployed) by some off-list users. This has been in Ingo Molnar's -rt patchset since late 2005 with no problems reported, and tests successfully on 2.6.20-rc6, so I believe that it is long-since ready for mainline adoption.

2007-02-16[PATCH] tick-management: broadcast functionalityThomas Gleixner
With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand. The broadcast function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event device. This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from IPI in power states, where the apic stops.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clockevents: add core functionalityThomas Gleixner
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core. Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock related management events. This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the architecture code.

Reintroduce ktimers feature "optimized away" by the ktimers review process: multiple hrtimer states to enable the running of hrtimers without holding the cpu-base-lock.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Extend next_timer_interrupt() to use a reference jiffieThomas Gleixner
For CONFIG_NO_HZ we need to calculate the next timer wheel event based on a given jiffie value. Extend the existing code to allow the extra 'now' argument. Provide a compability function for the existing implementations to call the function with now == jiffies. (This also solves the racyness of the original code vs. jiffies changing during the iteration.) No functional changes to existing users of this infrastructure.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Fix cascade lookup of next_timer_interruptThomas Gleixner
When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take the cascade into account. The current code has several problems: 1. it looks into the previous cascade 2. it ignores a pending cascade 3. it ignores multiple cascades Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is pending, i.e. gets executed in the next timer softirq. When multiple cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.
