Eliminate more __must_check madness.
The return code from device_for_each_child() depends on the values
which the helper function returns. If the helper function always
returns zero, it's utterly pointless to check the return code from
device_for_each_child().
The only code which knows if the return value should be checked is
the caller itself, so forcing the return code to always be checked
is silly. Hence, remove the __must_check annotation.

The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy.
This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB
virtually unusable.
Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very
slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming
model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.

For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs
instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not
able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates
one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue
using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls).
The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once
a fixed linker becomes available.

The splice_actor may be calling ->prepare_write() and ->commit_write(). We

The double locking behavior is done elsewhere in splice.c, and if we
eventually want _nolock variants of generic_file_splice_write(), fs modules
might have to replicate the nasty locking code. We introduce
inode_double_lock() and inode_double_unlock() to consolidate the locking

This patch limits the amount of time you will defer sending a TSO segment
to less than two clock ticks, or the time between two acks, whichever is
longer.
On slow links, deferring causes significant bursts. See attached plots,
which show RTT through a 1 Mbps link with a 100 ms RTT and ~100 ms queue
for (a) non-TSO, (b) currnet TSO, and (c) patched TSO. This burstiness
causes significant jitter, tends to overflow queues early (bad for short
queues), and makes delay-based congestion control more difficult.
Deferring by a couple clock ticks I believe will have a relatively small
impact on performance.

Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation. Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively. Many people have come to expect this naming. Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations). I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.
Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also). 2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.
On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1. If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.
A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.
-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
+-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
+-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0 Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)
Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.
Solution:
The solution can come in multiple steps.
Suggested fix#1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels. It adds two new
command line options:
pci=bfsort
pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish. It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".
Suggested fix#2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in. I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first. It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.
Suggested fix#3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order. This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers). I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.
Feedback appreciated. Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.
You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm. I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

handle_pte_fault uses pte_present, pte_none and pte_file to find out
the type of a pte. That is done without holding the page table lock.
This clashes with the way how ptep_clear_flush removes active page
table entries from the system. First the ipte instruction is used
to invalidate the pte and remove all plt entries for the page. The
ipte sets the hardware invalid bit without changing any other bit.
After the ipte finished the pte is cleared. A concurrent fault can
observe the the previously valid pte with the invalid bit set. With
the current encoding of the different pte types an invalidated
read-only pte can be misinterpreted as a swap-pte.

Linux maps PAL instructions with an ITR, but uses a DTC for PAL data.
Section 11.10.2.1.3, "Making PAL Procedures Calls in Physical or Virtual
Mode," of the SDM (rev 2.2), says we must therefore make all PAL calls
with PSR.ic = 1 so that Linux can handle any TLB faults.
PAL_CALL_IC_OFF is currently unused, and as long as we use the ITR + DTC
strategy, we can't use it. So remove it. I also removed the code in
ia64_pal_call_static() that conditionally cleared PSR.ic.

When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO. We
solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
the buffer_head. When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently
propagated back.
So:
Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
when this error comes back.
Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
rpc_drop_reply.

acpi_ec_intr_write()
acpi_ec_intr_query()
into:
acpi_ec_poll_transaction()

These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes
to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read
from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are
just special cases of these functions.
Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and
acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just
wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The
latter contains the EC access logic, the two original
function now just do their special way of locking and call the the
new function for the actual work.
This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing
this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue
some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new
exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called
ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around
acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support

Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual

Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm
With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.
One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

Currently when an IPSec policy rule doesn't specify a security
context, it is assumed to be "unlabeled" by SELinux, and so
the IPSec policy rule fails to match to a flow that it would
otherwise match to, unless one has explicitly added an SELinux
policy rule allowing the flow to "polmatch" to the "unlabeled"
IPSec policy rules. In the absence of such an explicitly added
SELinux policy rule, the IPSec policy rule fails to match and
so the packet(s) flow in clear text without the otherwise applicable
xfrm(s) applied.
The above SELinux behavior violates the SELinux security notion of
"deny by default" which should actually translate to "encrypt by
default" in the above case.
This was first reported by Evgeniy Polyakov and the way James Morris
was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.
With this patch applied, SELinux "polmatching" of flows Vs. IPSec
policy rules will only come into play when there's a explicit context
specified for the IPSec policy rule (which also means there's corresponding
SELinux policy allowing appropriate domains/flows to polmatch to this context).
Secondly, when a security module is loaded (in this case, SELinux), the
security_xfrm_policy_lookup() hook can return errors other than access denied,
such as -EINVAL. We were not handling that correctly, and in fact
inverting the return logic and propagating a false "ok" back up to
xfrm_lookup(), which then allowed packets to pass as if they were not
associated with an xfrm policy.
The solution for this is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains
from security_xfrm_policy_lookup(), and handled correctly.
Then, flow_cache_lookup() is modified, so that if the policy resolver
fails (typically a permission denied via the security module), the flow
cache entry is killed rather than having a null policy assigned (which
indicates that the packet can pass freely). This also forces any future
lookups for the same flow to consult the security module (e.g. SELinux)
for current security policy (rather than, say, caching the error on the
flow cache entry).
This patch: Fix the selinux side of things.
This makes sure SELinux polmatching of flow contexts to IPSec policy
rules comes into play only when an explicit context is associated
with the IPSec policy rule.
Also, this no longer defaults the context of a socket policy to
the context of the socket since the "no explicit context" case
is now handled properly.

The way I was seeing the problem was when connecting via IPsec to a
confined service on an SELinux box (vsftpd), which did not have the
appropriate SELinux policy permissions to send packets via IPsec.
The first SYNACK would be blocked, because of an uncached lookup via
flow_cache_lookup(), which would fail to resolve an xfrm policy because
the SELinux policy is checked at that point via the resolver.
However, retransmitted SYNACKs would then find a cached flow entry when
calling into flow_cache_lookup() with a null xfrm policy, which is
interpreted by xfrm_lookup() as the packet not having any associated
policy and similarly to the first case, allowing it to pass without
transformation.
The solution presented here is to first ensure that errno values are
correctly propagated all the way back up through the various call chains

The attached patch destroys all the dentries attached to a superblock in one go
by:
(1) Destroying the tree rooted at s_root.
(2) Destroying every entry in the anon list, one at a time.
(3) Each entry in the anon list has its subtree consumed from the leaves
inwards.
This reduces the amount of work generic_shutdown_super() does, and avoids
iterating through the dentry_unused list.
Note that locking is almost entirely absent in the shrink_dcache_for_umount*()
functions added by this patch. This is because:
(1) at the point the filesystem calls generic_shutdown_super(), it is not
permitted to further touch the superblock's set of dentries, and nor may
it remove aliases from inodes;
(2) the dcache memory shrinker now skips dentries that are being unmounted;
and
(3) the superblock no longer has any external references through which the VFS
can reach it.
Given these points, the only locking we need to do is when we remove dentries
from the unused list and the name hashes, which we do a directory's worth at a
time.
We also don't need to guard against reference counts going to zero unexpectedly
and removing bits of the tree we're working on as nothing else can call dput().
A cut down version of dentry_iput() has been folded into
shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() function. Apart from not needing to unlock
things, it also doesn't need to check for inotify watches.
In this version of the patch, the complaint about a dentry still being in use
has been expanded from a single BUG_ON() and now gives much more information.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

A couple of HDIO IOCTLs are not yet handled and a few others are marked
as using a pointer rather than an unsigned long. The formers include:
HDIO_GET_WCACHE, HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC, HDIO_GET_ADDRESS and
HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE. The latters are: HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT,
HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS, HDIO_SET_32BIT,
HDIO_SET_NOWERR, HDIO_SET_DMA, HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE and HDIO_SET_NICE.
Additionally 0x330 used to be HDIO_GETGEO_BIG and may be issued by 32-bit
`hdparm' run on a 64-bit kernel making Linux complain loudly.
This is a fix for these issues.

This likely profiling is pretty fun. I found a few possible problems
in sched.c.
This patch may be not measurable, but when I did measure long ago,
nooping (un)likely cost a couple of % on scheduler heavy benchmarks, so
it all adds up.
Tweak some branch hints:
- the 2nd 64 bits in the bitmask is likely to be populated, because it
contains the first 28 bits (nearly 3/4) of the normal priorities.
(ratio of 669669:691 ~= 1000:1).
- it isn't unlikely that context switching switches to another process. it
might be very rapidly switching to and from the idle process (ratio of
475815:419004 and 471330:423544). Let the branch predictor decide.
- preempt_enable seems to be very often called in a nested preempt_disable
or with interrupts disabled (ratio of 3567760:87965 ~= 40:1)

Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues:
* taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags
* per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted
(with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its
taint info correctly updated
Some additional changes:
* 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints &
TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module *
exporting module taint info via /proc/module:
pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000
evilmod 6784 1 pwc, Live 0xf8bbf000 (PF)

This is a follow-up patch based on the review for perfmon2. This patch
adds the carta_random32() library routine + carta_random32.h header file.
This is fast, simple, and efficient pseudo number generator algorithm. We
use it in perfmon2 to randomize the sampling periods. In this context, we
do not need any fancy randomizer.

Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait
is:
int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);
The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

As we are planning to support 48-bit block numbers for ext4, we need to
support 48-bit block numbers for extended attributes. In the short term, we
can do this by reuse (on-disk) 16-bit padding (linux2.i_pad1 currently used
only by "hurd") as high order bits for xattr. This patch basically does that.
