c2810188c1 x86-64: move save_paranoid into .kprobes.text
Impact: mark save_paranoid as non-kprobe-able code

This appears to be necessary as the function gets called from
kprobes-unsafe exception handling stubs (i.e. which themselves
live in .kprobes.text).

363911d027 Squashfs: Valid filesystems are flagged as bad by the corrupted fs patch
The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption.  This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available.  This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.

This patch does a number of things.  It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption.  It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

554f786e28 ring-buffer: only allocate buffers for online cpus
Impact: save on memory

Currently, a ring buffer was allocated for each "possible_cpus". On
some systems, this is the same as NR_CPUS. Thus, if a system defined
NR_CPUS = 64 but it only had 1 CPU, we could have possibly 63 useless
ring buffers taking up space. With a default buffer of 3 megs, this
could be quite drastic.

This patch changes the ring buffer code to only allocate ring buffers
for online CPUs.  If a CPU goes off line, we do not free the buffer.
This is because the user may still have trace data in that buffer
that they would like to look at.

Perhaps in the future we could add code to delete a ring buffer if
the CPU is offline and the ring buffer becomes empty.

9aba60fe6e tracing: fix trace_wait to know to wait on all cpus or just one
Impact: fix to task live locking on reading trace_pipe on one CPU

The same code is used for both trace_pipe (all CPUS) and the per_cpu
trace_pipe file. When there is no data to read, it will check for
signals and wait on the trace wait queue.

The problem happens with the per_cpu wait. The trace_wait code checks
all CPUs. Thus, if there's data in another CPU buffer, then it will
exit the wait, without checking for signals or waiting on the wait queue.

It would then try to read the empty buffer, and since that will just
return nothing, then it will try to wait again. Unfortunately, that will
again fail due to there still being data in the other buffers. This
ends up with a live lock for the task.

This patch fixes the trace_wait to be aware that the iterator may only
be waiting on a single buffer.

73c5162aa3 tracing: keep ring buffer to minimum size till used
Impact: less memory impact on systems not using tracer

When the kernel boots up that has tracing configured, it allocates
the default size of the ring buffer. This currently happens to be
1.4Megs per possible CPU. This is quite a bit of wasted memory if
the system is never using the tracer.

The current solution is to keep the ring buffers to a minimum size
until the user uses them. Once a tracer is piped into the current_tracer
the ring buffer will be expanded to the default size. If the user
changes the size of the ring buffer, it will take the size given
by the user immediately.

If the user adds a "ftrace=" to the kernel command line, then the ring
buffers will be set to the default size on initialization.

a644b2774d MIPS: NEC VR5500 processor support fixup
Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.

Here're some VR5500A spec notes:

* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.

* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
  it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
  request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected.  In other words,
  if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
  even when interrupts are internally asserted.

  Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
  insn is in the branch delay slot.  The operation is also undefined
  if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.

* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.

With these changes, it boots fine.

5e47c478b0 x86: remove zImage support
Impact: obsolete feature removal

The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.

Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.

d7371c41b0 Bug 11061, NFS mounts dropped
Addresses: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11061

sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because
there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to
be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same
socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6
sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and
sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because
"link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

a71ee337b3 NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()
Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

57df675c60 NLM: Fix GRANT callback address comparison when IPv6 is enabled
The NFS mount command may pass an AF_INET server address to lockd.  If
lockd happens to be using a PF_INET6 listener, the nlm_cmp_addr() in
nlmclnt_grant() will fail to match requests from that host because they
will all have a mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 address.

Adopt the same solution used in nfs_sockaddr_match_ipaddr() for NFSv4
callbacks: if either address is AF_INET, map it to an AF_INET6 address
before doing the comparison.
