This allows kallsyms to locate symbols that are in arch-specific text sections (such as text in Blackfin on-chip SRAM regions). Signed-off-by:
-
Mike Frysinger authored
Some ports (like the Blackfin arch) have a discontiguous memory map which means there may be text or data that falls outside of the standard range of the start/end text/data symbols. Creating some helper functions allows these non-standard ports to declare these regions without adversely affecting anyone else. Signed-off-by:

Commit b478b782 "kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault in kallsyms in my configurations. The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them. As a result, it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes: CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S /bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1 16935 Segmentation fault | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms1.S] Error 139 This simplifies the logic and just does a straightforward count.

Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater mark. This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall. ->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD systems. /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs which seems to be incorrect behavior. Maintainer of this util was notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed. To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields. The first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task. The second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all task childs. These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill ->ru_maxrss. k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm struct exists.

I tend to use a 'D' debugging macro a lot during debugging. When I define it before includes I often get conflicts with kmap_types.h's use of 'D' too. It's not very nice when a global include pollutes the name space like this. Rename the kmap_types.h D to KMAP_D. It is only used temporarily in the header so has no effect on anything else.

Split the anonfd interface into a bare file pointer creation one, and a file pointer creation plus install one. There are cases, like the usage of eventfds inside other kernel interfaces, where the file pointer created by anonfd needs to be used inside the initialization of other structures. As it is right now, as soon as anon_inode_getfd() returns, the kenrle can race with userspace closing the newly installed file descriptor. This patch, while keeping the old anon_inode_getfd(), introduces a new anon_inode_getfile() (whose services are reused in anon_inode_getfd()) that allows to split the file creation phase and the fd install one. Once all the kernel structures are initialized, the code can call the proper fd_install(). Gregory manifested the need for something like this inside KVM. Signed-off-by:

gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the condition isn't really constant now also need fixing. Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

According to Documentation/CodingStyle the EXPORT* macro should follow immediately after the closing function brace line. Also, mark_buffer_async_write_endio() and do_thaw_all() are not used elsewhere so they should be marked as static. In addition, file_fsync() is actually in fs/sync.c so move the EXPORT* to that file.

The problem is that this doesn't get accounted well and penalizes a random allocator with a big latency spike caused by work generated from elsewhere. I think the best idea would be to avoid this. By design if possible, or by deferring the hard work to an asynchronous context. If the latter, then the fs would probably want to throttle creation of new work with queue size of the deferred work, but let's not get into those details. Anyway, the other obvious thing we looked at is the iprune_mutex which is causing the cascading blocking. We could turn this into an rwsem to improve concurrency. It is unreasonable to totally ban all potentially slow or blocking operations in inode reclaim, so I think this is a cheap way to get a small improvement. This doesn't solve the whole problem of course. The process doing inode reclaim will still take the latency hit, and concurrent processes may end up contending on filesystem locks. So fs developers should keep these problems in mind. Signed-off-by:

Using the type bool (instead of int) for the __print_once flag in the printk_once() macro matches the intent of the code better, and allows the compiler to generate smaller code; eg a typical callsite with gcc 4.3.3 on i386: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-6 (-6) function old new delta static.__print_once 4 1 -3 get_cpu_vendor 146 143 -3 Saving 6 bytes of object size per callsite by slightly improving the readability of the source seems like a win to me.

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. Setting the delay by proc/sysctl interface: /proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay The value range from 0 - 10000, default value is 0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix a few things] Signed-off-by:

__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.
