Fixed up trivial conflicts: - arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h converted to <asm-generic/socket.h> in the x86 tree. The generic header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine. - drivers/net/tun.c fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.

2009-09-02CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]David Howells
Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes all references, not just those from task_structs). Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid. This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the credential struct has been previously released): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2009-08-26flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsignedDavid Rientjes
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as part of the flex array API. flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative quantity, which is obviously erroneous. flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before struct flex_array. The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.

2009-08-26flex_array: fix get function for elements in base starting at non-zeroDavid Rientjes
If all array elements fit into the base structure and data is copied using flex_array_put() starting at a non-zero index, flex_array_get() will fail to return the data. This fixes the bug by only checking for NULL parts when all elements do not fit in the base structure when flex_array_get() is used. Otherwise, fa_element_to_part_nr() will always be 0 since there are no parts structures needed and such element may never have been put. Thus, it will remain NULL due to the kzalloc() of the base. Additionally, flex_array_put() now only checks for a NULL part when all elements do not fit in the base structure. This is otherwise unnecessary since the base structure is guaranteed to exist (or we would have already hit a NULL pointer).

2009-08-23rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCUPaul E. McKenney
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

2009-08-21Make bitmask 'and' operators return a result codeLinus Torvalds
When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not. In particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set. So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean for whether the result has any bits set.

2009-08-21lib/swiotlb.c: Fix strange panic message selection logic when swiotlb fills upCasey Dahlin
swiotlb_full() in lib/swiotlb.c throws one of two panic messages based on whether the direction of transfer is from the device or to the device. The logic around this is somewhat weird in the case of bidirectional transfers. It appears to want to throw both in succession, but since its a panic only the first makes it.

Guard against that in err_printk and the driver_filter functions. A Fedora rawhide user was seeing this in one of the dvb drivers resulting in an oops on boot.

2009-08-07bzip2/lzma: remove nasty uncompressed size hack in pre-boot environmentPhillip Lougher
decompress_bunzip2 and decompress_unlzma have a nasty hack that subtracts 4 from the input length if being called in the pre-boot environment. This is a nasty hack because it relies on the fact that flush = NULL only when called from the pre-boot environment (i.e. arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c). initramfs.c/do_mounts_rd.c pass in a flush buffer (flush != NULL). This hack prevents the decompressors from being used with flush = NULL by other callers unless knowledge of the hack is propagated to them. This patch removes the hack by making decompress (called only from the pre-boot environment) a wrapper function that subtracts 4 from the input length before calling the decompressor.

2009-07-29lib: flexible array implementationDave Hansen
Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc() that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures. But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides. Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518 I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level. So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on 64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing this in the code. There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an overview: flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the second-level pages flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but not the base (for static bases) flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages between the given indexes to guarantee no allocs will occur at put() time. We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one more base pointer on 32-bit. I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/flexarray/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-07-17kernel: is_current_single_threaded: don't use ->mmap_semOleg Nesterov
is_current_single_threaded() can safely miss a freshly forked CLONE_VM task, but in this case it must not miss its parent. That is why we take mm->mmap_sem for writing to make sure a thread/task with the same ->mm can't pass exit_mm() and disappear. However we can avoid ->mmap_sem and rely on rcu/barriers: - if we do not see the exiting parent on thread/process list we see the result of list_del_rcu(), in this case we must also see the result of list_add_rcu() which does wmb(). - if we do see the parent but its ->mm == NULL, we need rmb() to make sure we can't miss the child.

- Fix the comment, is_single_threaded(p) actually means that nobody shares ->mm with p. I think this helper should be renamed, and it should not have arguments. With or without this patch it must not be used unless p == current, otherwise we can't safely use p->signal or p->mm. - "if (atomic_read(&p->signal->count) != 1)" is not right when we have a zombie group leader, use signal->live instead. - Add PF_KTHREAD check to skip kernel threads which may borrow p->mm, otherwise we can return the wrong "false". - Use for_each_process() instead of do_each_thread(), all threads must use the same ->mm. - Use down_write(mm->mmap_sem) + rcu_read_lock() instead of tasklist_lock to iterate over the process list. If there is another CLONE_VM process it can't pass exit_mm() which takes the same mm->mmap_sem. We can miss a freshly forked CLONE_VM task, but this doesn't matter because we must see its parent and return false.

Linus noticed how unclean and buggy the overlap() function is: - It uses convoluted (and bug-causing) positive checks for range overlap - instead of using a more natural negative check. - Even the positive checks are buggy: a positive intersection check has four natural cases while we checked only for three, missing the (addr < start && addr2 == end) case for example. - The variables are mis-named, making it non-obvious how the check was done. - It needlessly uses u64 instead of unsigned long. Since these are kernel memory pointers and we explicitly exclude highmem ranges anyway we cannot ever overflow 32 bits, even if we could. (and on 64-bit it doesnt matter anyway) All in one, this function needs a total revamp. I used Linus's suggestions minus the paranoid checks (we cannot overflow really because if we get totally bad DMA ranges passed far more things break in the systems than just DMA debugging). I also fixed a few other small details i noticed. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-06-25kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.Catalin Marinas
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

2009-06-23kmemleak: Do not force the slab debugging Kconfig optionsCatalin Marinas
Selecting DEBUG_SLAB or SLUB_DEBUG by the KMEMLEAK menu entry may cause issues with other dependencies (KMEMCHECK). These configuration options aren't strictly needed by kmemleak but they may increase the chances of finding leaks. This patch also updates the KMEMLEAK config entry help text.

x86 stack traces are a piece of crap without frame pointers, and its not like the 'performance gain' of not having stack pointers matters when you selected lockdep.

2009-06-19lib/checksum.c: fix endianess bugArnd Bergmann
The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using 'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO would not be clearer. Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines. If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but at least the code should not break.

2009-06-17dma-debug: Put all hash-chain locks into the same lock classIngo Molnar
Alan Cox reported that lockdep runs out of its stack-trace entries with certain configs: BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low This happens because there are 1024 hash buckets, each with a separate lock. Lockdep puts each lock into a separate lock class and tracks them independently. But in reality we never take more than one of the buckets, so they really belong into a single lock-class. Annotate the has bucket lock init accordingly.

Furthermore, notice that the initial checks: if (!node->rb_left) child = node->rb_right; else if (!node->rb_right) child = node->rb_left; else { ... } guarantee that old->rb_right is set in the final else branch, therefore we can omit checking that again.
