1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method
called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for
special filesystems. It is called without locks.
Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all
pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now
use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen);
2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations
3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket
creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
/proc/pid/fd/...
4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe
creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to
/proc/pid/fd/...
A benchmark consisting of 1.000.000 calls to pipe()/close()/close() gives a

The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:
- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.
This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.
The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.
The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf
The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc
This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/
We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can

Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs. When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs. This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.
It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with
echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs
and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval. For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB. Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint. Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.
For example, using an efficient Mozilla:
accumulated time referenced memory
---------------- -----------------
0 s 408 kB
1 s 408 kB
2 s 556 kB
3 s 1028 kB
4 s 872 kB
5 s 1956 kB
6 s 416 kB
7 s 1560 kB
8 s 2336 kB
9 s 1044 kB
10 s 416 kB
This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

PCI drivers have the new_id file in sysfs which allows new IDs to be added
at runtime. The advantage is to avoid re-compilation of a driver that
works for a new device, but it's ID table doesn't contain the new device.
This mechanism is only meant for testing, after the driver has been tested
successfully, the ID should be added in source code so that new revisions
of the kernel automatically detect the device.
The implementation follows the PCI implementation. The interface is documented
in Documentation/pcmcia/driver.txt. Computations should be done in userspace,
so the sysfs string contains the raw structure members for matching.

Currently, there is no minimum number of fields required when adding
a new device ID to a PCI driver through the new_id sysfs file. It is
possible to add a new ID with only the vendor ID set, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to all PCI devices from that vendor. This
has been reported to happen accidentally:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019366.html
It is even possible to not even set the vendor ID field, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to _all_ the PCI devices.
This sounds dangerous and I fail to see any valid use of this
"feature". Thus I suggest that we now require at least the first two
fields (vendor ID and device ID) to be set. For what it's worth, this
is what the USB subsystem does.

Background:
We've found that MCEs (specifically DRAM SBEs) tend to come in bunches,
especially when we are trying really hard to stress the system out. The
current MCE poller uses a static interval which does not care whether it
has or has not found MCEs recently.
Description:
This patch makes the MCE poller adjust the polling interval dynamically.
If we find an MCE, poll 2x faster (down to 10 ms). When we stop finding
MCEs, poll 2x slower (up to check_interval seconds). The check_interval
tunable becomes the max polling interval. The "Machine check events
logged" printk() is rate limited to the check_interval, which should be
identical behavior to the old functionality.
Result:
If you start to take a lot of correctable errors (not exceptions), you
log them faster and more accurately (less chance of overflowing the MCA
registers). If you don't take a lot of errors, you will see no change.
Alternatives:
I considered simply reducing the polling interval to 10 ms immediately
and keeping it there as long as we continue to find errors. This felt a
bit heavy handed, but does perform significantly better for the default
check_interval of 5 minutes (we're using a few seconds when testing for
DRAM errors). I could be convinced to go with this, if anyone felt it
was not too aggressive.
Testing:
I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors
and verified that the polling interval accelerates. The printk() only
happens once per check_interval seconds.

This patch is against 2.6.21-rc7.

Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at
runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable
compat mode at runtime.
This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the
kernel command line, or via sysctl. (Switching on a running system
shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat
VDSO will be upset if it goes away.)
The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just
makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT.
+From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Fix oops from i386-make-compat_vdso-runtime-selectable.patch.
Even mingetty at system startup finds it easy to trigger an oops
while reading /proc/PID/maps: though it has a good hold on the mm
itself, that cannot stop exit_mm() from resetting tsk->mm to NULL.
(It is usually show_map()'s call to get_gate_vma() which oopses,
and I expect we could change that to check priv->tail_vma instead;
but no matter, even m_start()'s call just after get_task_mm() is racy.)

Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's
not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length
of the command line the kernel can understand. The benefit of knowing the
length is that users can be warned if the command line size is too long
which prevents surprise if things don't work after bootup.
This patch updates the boot protocol to contain a field called
"cmdline_size" that contain the length of the command line (excluding the
terminating zero).
The patch also adds missing fields (of protocol version 2.05) to the x86_64
setup code.

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining system
memory into nodes of fixed size. Any leftover memory is allocated to a final
node unless the command-line ends with a comma.
For example:
numa=fake=2*512,*128 gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system
memory is split into nodes of 128M each.
This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not
necessarily relevant, but the size of the remaining nodes to be allocated is
known based on their capacity for resource management.

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining
system memory into equal-sized nodes.
For example:
numa=fake=2*512,4* gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system
memory is split into four approximately equal
chunks.
This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not
necessarily relevant, but the granularity with which nodes shall be allocated
is known.

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes. These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.
The old command-line option is still supported:
numa=fake=32 gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
actual machine.
But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
the rest of system memory to a sixth node.
The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.
Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range. The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate. These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.
Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

This patch adds a master switch to thinkpad-acpi that enables or disables
the entire fan-control feature as a module parameter: "fan_control". It
defaults to disabled. Set it to non-zero to enable fan control.
Also, the patch removes the expermiental status from fan control, since it
is stable enough to not be called experimental, and the master switch makes
it safe enough to do so.

Add an interface to the AF_RXRPC module so that the AFS filesystem module can
more easily make use of the services available. AFS still opens a socket but
then uses the action functions in lieu of sendmsg() and registers an intercept
functions to grab messages before they're queued on the socket Rx queue.
This permits AFS (or whatever) to:
(1) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call.
(2) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
might want to use.
(3) Avoid calling request_key() at the point of issue of a call or opening of
a socket. This is done instead by AFS at the point of open(), unlink() or
other VFS operation and the key handed through.
(4) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.
Furthermore:
(*) The socket buffer markings used by RxRPC are made available for AFS so
that it can interpret the cooked RxRPC messages itself.
(*) rxgen (un)marshalling abort codes are made available.
The following documentation for the kernel interface is added to
Documentation/networking/rxrpc.txt:
=========================
AF_RXRPC KERNEL INTERFACE
=========================
The AF_RXRPC module also provides an interface for use by in-kernel utilities
such as the AFS filesystem. This permits such a utility to:
(1) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
might want to use.
(2) Avoid having RxRPC call request_key() at the point of issue of a call or
opening of a socket. Instead the utility is responsible for requesting a
key at the appropriate point. AFS, for instance, would do this during VFS
operations such as open() or unlink(). The key is then handed through
when the call is initiated.
(3) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.
(4) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call. RxRPC messages can be
intercepted before they get put into the socket Rx queue and the socket
buffers manipulated directly.
To use the RxRPC facility, a kernel utility must still open an AF_RXRPC socket,
bind an addess as appropriate and listen if it's to be a server socket, but
then it passes this to the kernel interface functions.
The kernel interface functions are as follows:
(*) Begin a new client call.
struct rxrpc_call *
rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(struct socket *sock,
struct sockaddr_rxrpc *srx,
struct key *key,
unsigned long user_call_ID,
gfp_t gfp);
This allocates the infrastructure to make a new RxRPC call and assigns
call and connection numbers. The call will be made on the UDP port that
the socket is bound to. The call will go to the destination address of a
connected client socket unless an alternative is supplied (srx is
non-NULL).
If a key is supplied then this will be used to secure the call instead of
the key bound to the socket with the RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY sockopt. Calls
secured in this way will still share connections if at all possible.
The user_call_ID is equivalent to that supplied to sendmsg() in the
control data buffer. It is entirely feasible to use this to point to a
kernel data structure.
If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
properly ended.
(*) End a client call.
void rxrpc_kernel_end_call(struct rxrpc_call *call);
This is used to end a previously begun call. The user_call_ID is expunged
from AF_RXRPC's knowledge and will not be seen again in association with
the specified call.
(*) Send data through a call.
int rxrpc_kernel_send_data(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct msghdr *msg,
size_t len);
This is used to supply either the request part of a client call or the
reply part of a server call. msg.msg_iovlen and msg.msg_iov specify the
data buffers to be used. msg_iov may not be NULL and must point
exclusively to in-kernel virtual addresses. msg.msg_flags may be given
MSG_MORE if there will be subsequent data sends for this call.
The msg must not specify a destination address, control data or any flags
other than MSG_MORE. len is the total amount of data to transmit.
(*) Abort a call.
void rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(struct rxrpc_call *call, u32 abort_code);
This is used to abort a call if it's still in an abortable state. The
abort code specified will be placed in the ABORT message sent.
(*) Intercept received RxRPC messages.
typedef void (*rxrpc_interceptor_t)(struct sock *sk,
unsigned long user_call_ID,
struct sk_buff *skb);
void
rxrpc_kernel_intercept_rx_messages(struct socket *sock,
rxrpc_interceptor_t interceptor);
This installs an interceptor function on the specified AF_RXRPC socket.
All messages that would otherwise wind up in the socket's Rx queue are
then diverted to this function. Note that care must be taken to process
the messages in the right order to maintain DATA message sequentiality.
The interceptor function itself is provided with the address of the socket
and handling the incoming message, the ID assigned by the kernel utility
to the call and the socket buffer containing the message.
The skb->mark field indicates the type of message:
MARK MEANING
=============================== =======================================
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_DATA Data message
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_FINAL_ACK Final ACK received for an incoming call
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_BUSY Client call rejected as server busy
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_REMOTE_ABORT Call aborted by peer
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NET_ERROR Network error detected
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_LOCAL_ERROR Local error encountered
RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NEW_CALL New incoming call awaiting acceptance
The remote abort message can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code().
The two error messages can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number().
A new call can be accepted with rxrpc_kernel_accept_call().
Data messages can have their contents extracted with the usual bunch of
socket buffer manipulation functions. A data message can be determined to
be the last one in a sequence with rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(). When a
data message has been used up, rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered() should be
called on it..
Non-data messages should be handled to rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() to dispose
of. It is possible to get extra refs on all types of message for later
freeing, but this may pin the state of a call until the message is finally
freed.
(*) Accept an incoming call.
struct rxrpc_call *
rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(struct socket *sock,
unsigned long user_call_ID);
This is used to accept an incoming call and to assign it a call ID. This
function is similar to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and calls accepted must
be ended in the same way.
If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
properly ended.
(*) Reject an incoming call.
int rxrpc_kernel_reject_call(struct socket *sock);
This is used to reject the first incoming call on the socket's queue with
a BUSY message. -ENODATA is returned if there were no incoming calls.
Other errors may be returned if the call had been aborted (-ECONNABORTED)
or had timed out (-ETIME).
(*) Record the delivery of a data message and free it.
void rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to record a data message as having been delivered and to
update the ACK state for the call. The socket buffer will be freed.
(*) Free a message.
void rxrpc_kernel_free_skb(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to free a non-DATA socket buffer intercepted from an AF_RXRPC
socket.
(*) Determine if a data message is the last one on a call.
bool rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to determine if a socket buffer holds the last data message
to be received for a call (true will be returned if it does, false
if not).
The data message will be part of the reply on a client call and the
request on an incoming call. In the latter case there will be more
messages, but in the former case there will not.
(*) Get the abort code from an abort message.
u32 rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to extract the abort code from a remote abort message.
(*) Get the error number from a local or network error message.
int rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(struct sk_buff *skb);
This is used to extract the error number from a message indicating either
a local error occurred or a network error occurred.

Export sysfs attributes to monitor and control the internal thinkpad fan
(some thinkpads have more than one fan, but thinkpad-acpi doesn't support
the second fan yet). The sysfs interface follows the hwmon design guide
for fan devices.
Also, fix some stray "thermal" files in the fan procfs description that
have been there forever, and officially support "full-speed" as the name
for the PWM-disabled state of the fan controller to keep it in line with
the hwmon interface. It is much better a name for that mode than the
unobvious "disengaged" anyway. Change the procfs interface to also accept
full-speed as a fan level, but still report it as disengaged for backwards
compatibility.

Export thinkpad thermal sensors to sysfs, following the hwmon
specification for thermal monitoring sensors.
ThinkPad thermal monitoring is done by the EC. Sensors can show up or
disappear at runtime when they are inside hotswappable hardware, such as
batteries. Sensors that are not available return -ENXIO when accessed.
Up to 16 thermal sensors are supported on new firmware (but nobody has
reported a ThinkPad with more than 12 sensors so far), and 8 sensors are
supported on older firmware. Thermal sensor mapping is model-specific.
Precision varies, it is 1 degree Celcius on new ThinkPads, but higher on
some older models.

noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the
context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume
SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with
FNSAVE and cause corruption.
Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia
reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time.
Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it.

This patch removes the unnecessary bit number from CKENnn_XXXX
definitions for PXA, so that
CKEN0_PWM0 --> CKEN_PWM0
CKEN1_PWM1 --> CKEN_PWM1
...
CKEN24_CAMERA --> CKEN_CAMERA
The reasons for the change of these defitions are:
1. they do not scale - they are currently valid for pxa2xx, but
definitely not valid for pxa3xx, e.g., pxa3xx has bit 3 for camera
instead of bit 24
2. they are unnecessary - the peripheral name within the definition
has already announced its usage, we don't need those bit numbers
to know which peripheral we are going to enable/disable clock for
3. they are inconvenient - think about this: a driver programmer
for pxa has to remember which bit in the CKEN register to turn
on/off
Another change in the patch is to make the definitions equal to its
clock bit index, so that
#define CKEN_CAMERA (24)
instead of
#define CKEN_CAMERA (1 << 24)
this change, however, will add a run-time bit shift operation in
pxa_set_cken(), but the benefit of this change is that it scales
when bit index exceeds 32, e.g., pxa3xx has two registers CKENA
and CKENB, totally 64 bit for this, suppose CAMERA clock enabling
bit is CKENB:10, one can simply define CKEN_CAMERA to be (32 + 10)
and so that pxa_set_cken() need minimum change to adapt to that.

justification to remove dv1394 right now.

alternative to the existing ones. But we don't have a schedule at the

It seems that there must be at least one node in mems and at least one CPU
in cpus in order to be able to assign tasks to a cpuset. This makes sense.
And I think it would also make sense to include a mems setting in the
basic usage section of the documentation.
I also wonder if something logged to dmsg, explaining why a write failed,
would be a good enhancement. I ended up having rummage arround in cpuset.c
in order to work out why my configuration was failing.
