The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a supervising init daemon such as Upstart. While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a daemon, it is rare for its children to do so. When the children do, it is nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the parent and not supervised along with it. The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid() so that they may control the pty connected to them. If the primary daemon dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children. This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

The static code scanner "Parfait" reported this because pwm_config is only 3 bytes - pwm_config[3] is out of range. Since this code path is never called with ix == 3 (the device has no PWM4 output) this doesn't change anything in practice. But to encourage testing with Parfait, lets make the warning go away...

This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the reasons are below: 1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(), it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(). 2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call, only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it. 3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.

The user mode helper code has a race in it. call_usermodehelper_exec() takes an allocated subprocess_info structure, which it passes to a workqueue, and then passes it to a kernel thread which it creates, after which it calls complete to signal to the caller of call_usermodehelper_exec() that it can free the subprocess_info struct. But since we use that structure in the created thread, we can't call complete from __call_usermodehelper(), which is where we create the kernel thread. We need to call complete() from within the kernel thread and then not use subprocess_info afterward in the case of UMH_WAIT_EXEC. Tested successfully by me. Signed-off-by:

When syslog is not possible, at the same time there's no serial/net console available, it will be hard to read the printk messages. For example oops/panic/warning messages in shutdown phase. Add a printk delay feature, we can make each printk message delay some milliseconds.

__estimate_accuracy() was prone to integer overflow, for example if *tv == {2147, 483648000} on a 32 bit computer (or even for delays as small as {429, 500000000} if the task is niced). Because the result was already forced between 0 and 100ms, the effect of the overflow was not too problematic, but the use of the hrtimer range feature was not optimal in overflow cases. This patch ensures that there can not be an integer overflow in this function.

On resume from suspend, the driver currently resets the logical state as if it was brought up from halt. This patch uses the dev_pm_ops.resume/restore methods to synchronize the hardware with the memorized logical state, in effect bringing back the accelerometer and backlight to the state prior to suspend. Works for both suspend to ram and hibernation. The patch has zero effect on the running state. Signed-off-by:

The ADM1023 temperature sensor supports higher resolution for its external sensor (sensitivity of 1/8 deg C). This patch makes this higher resolution available through the appropriate temperature sysfs nodes.

Enable the coretemp driver on an Intel Atom. I'm not sure if the readings are correct, however - on my 330, the driver reports values between 27 and 41 °C (with core1 being about 8°C hotter than core0, given the same load). Maybe the maximum temperature of 100 °C is wrong for Atom CPUs. Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: Rudolf Marek <r.marek@assembler.cz> Signed-off-by:
