ff91691bcc [PATCH] sched: avoid div in rebalance_tick
Avoid expensive integer divide 3 times per CPU per tick.

A userspace test of this loop went from 26ns, down to 19ns on a G5; and
from 123ns down to 28ns on a P3.

(Also avoid a variable bit shift, as suggested by Alan. The effect
of this wasn't noticable on the CPUs I tested with).

Now that I have changed all of the in-tree users remove the old version of
these functions.  This should make it clear to any out of tree users that they
should be using kill_pgrp kill_pgrp_info or __kill_pgrp_info instead.

ab521dc0f8 [PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer.  But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits.  Which means that no reference counting
is required.  So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.

In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

3e7cd6c413 [PATCH] pid: replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned
Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current) which is racy
with respect to another thread changing our process group.  It didn't bite us
because we were dealing with integers and the worse we would get would be a
stale answer.

In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and
prepare the way for pid namespaces this race became apparent.

So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned so
I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race.

04a2e6a5cb [PATCH] pid: make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t
To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of
struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous.

To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid
pointer.  To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my
caller to hold the appropriate locks.  Leaving callers repsonsible for
increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of
the locks.

Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply
uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking
change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all.

tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock.  The logic there is a
little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty
to a struct pid pointer.

3f05044715 [PATCH] kernel: shut up the IRQ mismatch messages
The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim
IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging
spew when the types clash.

Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out
the if clause that checks for mismatches.  It'll then just do the right
thing and work sanely.

For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared
irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful).  I've had a
variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the
mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

1efc5da3cf [PATCH] order of lockdep off/on in vprintk() should be changed
The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in
vprintk() should be changed.

* In kernel/printk.c :

vprintk() does :

preempt_disable()
local_irq_save()
lockdep_off()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
   up(&console_sem)
lockdep_on()
local_irq_restore()
preempt_enable()

The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from
kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from
kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save).
It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock.

It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it
does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive
printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the
mark_lock() error handing path.

We should change the locking so it becomes correct :

preempt_disable()
lockdep_off()
local_irq_save()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
   up(&console_sem)
local_irq_restore()
lockdep_on()
preempt_enable()

gcc emits this warning:

 kernel/auditfilter.c: In function 'audit_filter_user':
 kernel/auditfilter.c:1611: warning: 'state' is used uninitialized in this function

I tend to agree with gcc - there are a couple of plausible exit paths from
audit_filter_user_rules() where it does not set 'state', keeping the
variable uninitialized.  For example if a filter rule has an AUDIT_POSSIBLE
action.  Initialize to 'wont audit'.  Fix whitespace damage too.

d4d23add3a [PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo...  except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of

Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.

This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

3db5db4fcd [PATCH] use cycle_t instead of u64 in struct time_interpolator
The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.

The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.

But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.

More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html

As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"
is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this
patch a no-change for them).

questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set.

For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the
Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and
completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST
be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).

unplug isn't supported by this patch.  The thought was that at minumum a new

to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

My __acquire_lock() cleanup introduced a locking bug: on SMP systems we'd
release a non-owned graph lock.  Fix this by moving the graph unlock back,
and by leaving the max_lockdep_depth variable update possibly racy.  (we
dont care, it's just statistics)

Also add some minimal debugging code to graph_unlock()/graph_lock(),
which caught this locking bug.

	OK, that's because sizeof(char) == 1

	int sysctls writeback anything in (0, table->maxlen] range
	Though accept integers divisible by sizeof(int) for writing.

sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies don't writeback anything but
sizeof(int), which violates 1) and 2).

So, make sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies accept
a) *oldlenp == 0, not doing writeback
b) *oldlenp >= sizeof(int), writing one integer.

-EINVAL still returned for *oldlenp == 1, 2, 3.

dc29a3657b [PATCH] kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k
kernel/time/clocksource.c needs struct task_struct on m68k.

Because it uses spin_unlock_irq(), which, on m68k, uses hardirq_count(), which
uses preempt_count(), which needs to dereference struct task_struct, we
have to include sched.h. Because it would cause a loop inclusion, we
cannot include sched.h in any other of asm-m68k/system.h,
linux/thread_info.h, linux/hardirq.h, which leaves this ugly include in
a C file as the only simple solution.

2b5b09b3b5 [PATCH] swsusp: Change pm_ops handling by userland interface
Make the userland interface of swsusp call pm_ops->finish() after
enable_nonboot_cpus() and before resume_device(), as indicated by the recent
discussion on Linux-PM (cf.
http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).

This patch changes the SNAPSHOT_PMOPS ioctl so that its first function,
PMOPS_PREPARE, only sets a switch turning the platform suspend mode on, and
its last function, PMOPS_FINISH, only checks if the platform mode is enabled.
This should allow the older userland tools to work with new kernels without
any modifications.

The changes here only affect the userland interface of swsusp.

e3c7db621b [PATCH] PM: Change code ordering in main.c
As indicated in a recent thread on Linux-PM, it's necessary to call
pm_ops->finish() before devce_resume(), but enable_nonboot_cpus() has to be
called before pm_ops->finish() (cf.
http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).  For
consistency, it seems reasonable to call disable_nonboot_cpus() after
device_suspend().

This way the suspend code will remain symmetrical with respect to the resume
code and it may allow us to speed up things in the future by suspending and
resuming devices and/or saving the suspend image in many threads.

The following series of patches reorders the suspend and resume code so that
nonboot CPUs are disabled after devices have been suspended and enabled before
the devices are resumed.  It also causes pm_ops->finish() to be called after
enable_nonboot_cpus() wherever necessary.

This patch:

Change the ordering of code in kernel/power/main.c so that device_suspend()
is called before disable_nonboot_cpus() and pm_ops->finish() is called after
enable_nonboot_cpus() and before device_resume(), as indicated by recent
discussion on Linux-PM
(cf. http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).

6ff1b4426e [PATCH] make reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bould not require CAP_SYS_MODULE
Reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound requires CAP_SYS_MODULE.  (see
proc_dointvec_bset in kernel/sysctl.c)

sysctl appears to drive all over proc reading everything it can get it's
hands on and is complaining when it is being denied access to read
cap-bound.  Clearly writing to cap-bound should be a sensitive operation
but requiring CAP_SYS_MODULE to read cap-bound seems a bit to strong.  I
believe the information could with reasonable certainty be obtained by
looking at a bunch of the output of /proc/pid/status which has very low
security protection, so at best we are just getting a little obfuscation of
information.

Currently SELinux policy has to 'dontaudit' capability checks for
CAP_SYS_MODULE for things like sysctl which just want to read cap-bound.
In doing so we also as a byproduct have to hide warnings of potential
exploits such as if at some time that sysctl actually tried to load a
module.  I wondered if anyone would have a problem opening cap-bound up to
read from anyone?

9ac7849e35 devres: device resource management
Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.

devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
supported.

devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).

This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.

* alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA		: dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
		  dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
		  dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI		: pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap		: devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
		  devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
		  pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()

5b912c108c msi: Kill the msi_desc array.
We need to be able to get from an irq number to a struct msi_desc.
The msi_desc array in msi.c had several short comings the big one was
that it could not be used outside of msi.c.  Using irq_data in struct
irq_desc almost worked except on some architectures irq_data needs to
be used for something else.

So this patch adds a msi_desc pointer to irq_desc, adds the appropriate
wrappers and changes all of the msi code to use them.

The dynamic_irq_init/cleanup code was tweaked to ensure the new
field is left in a well defined state.

0f2452855d [PATCH] namespaces: fix task exit disaster
This is based on a patch by Eric W.  Biederman, who pointed out that pid
namespaces are still fake, and we only have one ever active.

So for the time being, we can modify any code which could access
tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns during task exit to just use &init_pid_ns instead,
and move the exit_task_namespaces call in do_exit() back above
exit_notify(), so that an exiting nfs server has a valid tsk->sighand to
work with.

Long term, pulling pid_ns out of nsproxy might be the cleanest solution.
