We have code to take environmental and power warning (EPOW) interrupts but it simply prints a terse error message: EPOW <0x6240040000000b8 0x0 0x0> which tells us nothing about what happened. Even worse, if we don't correctly respond to the interrupt we may get terminated by firmware. Add code to printk some useful information when we get EPOW events. We want to make it clear that we have an error, that it was reported by firmware and that the RTAS error log will have more detailed information. eg: Ambient temperature too high reported by firmware. Check RTAS error log for details Depending on the error encountered, we now issue an immediate or an orderly power down. Move initialization of the EPOW interrupt earlier in boot since we want to respond to them as early as possible.

The IO event interrupt code has a function that finds specific sections in an RTAS error log. We want to use it in the EPOW code so make it global. Rename things to make it less cryptic: find_xelog_section() -> get_pseries_errorlog() struct pseries_elog_section -> struct pseries_errorlog Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently, the existing PHBs are retrieved from the FDT (Flat Device Tree) based on the name of FDT node. Specificly, those FDT nodes whose names have prefix "pci" are regarded as PHBs. That's inappropriate because some PCI bridges possibilly have names leading with "pci". It caused EEH is enabled on same PCI devices for towice. The patch fixes the above issue. Besides, the PHBs are expected to be figured out from FDT before enable EEH on them. Therefore, it's resonable to retrieve the PHBs from the global linked list traced by variable "hose_list" insteading poking them from FDT. For the EEH implementation on pSeries platform, RTAS is critical because all low-level functions are implemented based on RTAS. Therefore, we should make sure "/rtas" OF node is available and ready before to enable EEH core. However, it actually introduced duplicate since the previous pSeries platform dependent initialization function already do the check. Besides, we want to make eeh core platform independent, so RTAS related staff should be removed there. The patch removes the duplicate check on "/rtas" OF node for eeh core.

The patch removes the eeh information from pci_dn since the eeh device (struct eeh_dev) already contained those information and the copy in pci_dn is no longer used except for the pseries iommu mapping code, which we change to retrieve the PE address from eeh device instead.

Originally, the PCI sensitive OF node is tracing the eeh device through struct device_node->edev. However, it was regarded as bad idea. The patch removes struct device_node->edev and uses PCI_DN to trace the corresponding eeh device according to BenH's comments.

Pull <linux/device.h> avoidance patches from Paul Gortmaker: "Nearly every subsystem has some kind of header with a proto like: void foo(struct device *dev); and yet there is no reason for most of these guys to care about the sub fields within the device struct. This allows us to significantly reduce the scope of headers including headers. For this instance, a reduction of about 40% is achieved by replacing the include with the simple fact that the device is some kind of a struct. Unlike the much larger module.h cleanup, this one is simply two commits. One to fix the implicit <linux/device.h> users, and then one to delete the device.h includes from the linux/include/ dir wherever possible." * tag 'device-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: device.h: audit and cleanup users in main include dir device.h: cleanup users outside of linux/include (C files)

Pull cleanup of fs/ and lib/ users of module.h from Paul Gortmaker: "Fix up files in fs/ and lib/ dirs to only use module.h if they really need it. These are trivial in scope vs the work done previously. We now have things where any few remaining cleanups can be farmed out to arch or subsystem maintainers, and I have done so when possible. What is remaining here represents the bits that don't clearly lie within a single arch/subsystem boundary, like the fs dir and the lib dir. Some duplicate includes arising from overlapping fixes from independent subsystem maintainer submissions are also quashed." Fix up trivial conflicts due to clashes with other include file cleanups (including some due to the previous bug.h cleanup pull). * tag 'module-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible fs: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible includecheck: delete any duplicate instances of module.h

Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker: "The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one <linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them. This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise: CC lib/string.o lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat': lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON' make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1 $ $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c #include <linux/bug.h> $ We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development. With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are: 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the implicit presence of BUG code. 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code. 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h> 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain. During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem areas in advance. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/3/90 [2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/17/414" Fix up conflicts (new radeon file, reiserfs header cleanups) as per Paul and linux-next. * tag 'bug-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so don't include it. bug: consolidate BUILD_BUG_ON with other bug code BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h bug.h: add include of it to various implicit C users lib: fix implicit users of kernel.h for TAINT_WARN spinlock: macroize assert_spin_locked to avoid bug.h dependency x86: relocate get/set debugreg fcns to include/asm/debugreg.

Pull sysctl updates from Eric Biederman: - Rewrite of sysctl for speed and clarity. Insert/remove/Lookup in sysctl are all now O(NlogN) operations, and are no longer bottlenecks in the process of adding and removing network devices. sysctl is now focused on being a filesystem instead of system call and the code can all be found in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c. Hopefully this means the code is now approachable. Much thanks is owed to Lucian Grinjincu for keeping at this until something was found that was usable. - The recent proc_sys_poll oops found by the fuzzer during hibernation is fixed. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/sysctl: (36 commits) sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away sysctl: Don't call sysctl_follow_link unless we are a link. sysctl: Comments to make the code clearer. sysctl: Correct error return from get_subdir sysctl: An easier to read version of find_subdir sysctl: fix memset parameters in setup_sysctl_set() sysctl: remove an unused variable sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees. sysctl: Make the header lists per directory. sysctl: Move sysctl_check_dups into insert_header sysctl: Modify __register_sysctl_paths to take a set instead of a root and an nsproxy sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets. sysctl: Add sysctl_print_dir and use it in get_subdir sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories sysctl: Add a root pointer to ctl_table_set sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_readdir in terms of first_entry and next_entry sysctl: Rewrite proc_sys_lookup introducing find_entry and lookup_entry. sysctl: Normalize the root_table data structure. sysctl: Factor out insert_header and erase_header ...

The namespace cleanup path leaks a dentry which holds a reference count on a network namespace. Keeping that network namespace from being freed when the last user goes away. Leaving things like vlan devices in the leaked network namespace. If you use ip netns add for much real work this problem becomes apparent pretty quickly. It light testing the problem hides because frequently you simply don't notice the leak. Use d_set_d_op() so that DCACHE_OP_* flags are set correctly. This issue exists back to 3.0. Acked-by: "Eric W.

Process accounting applications as top, ps visit some files under /proc/<pid>. With seq_put_decimal_ull(), we can optimize /proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/statm files. This patch adds - seq_put_decimal_ll() for signed values. - allow delimiter == 0. - convert seq_printf() to seq_put_decimal_ull/ll in /proc/stat, statm. Test result on a system with 2000+ procs.

On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes, and is slow : # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c 5826 # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE read(0, "cpu 1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504> Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus) Fix this by : 1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing. 2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.

Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit for 'VM_NODUMP' flag. The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag: MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request memory regions which should not dump core. The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core. This flag might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely make sure that parts of memory are not dumped. To clear the flag use: MADV_DODUMP.

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which triggers request_module(). Say, it can simply call sys_socket(). This in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM. oom-killer correctly chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the TIF_MEMDIE task T. Make __request_module() killable. The only necessary change is that call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE. This memory is freed via call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.
