This patch implements generic handling of RTC_IRQP_READ32, RTC_IRQP_SET32, RTC_EPOCH_READ32 and RTC_EPOCH_SET32 in fs/compat_ioctl.c. It's based on the x86_64 code which needed a little massaging to be endian-clean. parisc used COMPAT_IOCTL or generic w_long handlers for these whichce is wrong and can't work because the ioctls encode sizeof(unsigned long) in their ioctl number. parisc also duplicated COMPAT_IOCTL entries for other rtc ioctls which I remove in this patch, too.

The comment in compat.c is wrong, every architecture provides a get_compat_sigevent() for the IPC compat code already. This basically moves the x86_64 version to common code and removes all the others. Signed-off-by:

These ioctls are definitely not compat clean, but we already have a proper handler in common code, over-riding it in architecture code is counter-productive. Signed-off-by:

Again easy because all ioctls are compat clean. Signed-off-by:

All callers use touch_atime now which takes a vfsmount and allows us to implement per-mount noatime. Signed-off-by:

Christoph Hellwig authored
After my lookup_hash patch ->d_revalidate always gets a valid struct nameidata passed (unless you use lookup_one_len which autofs4 doesn't), so we can switch it from update_atime to touch_atime. This is a bit of an academic excercise because autofs has a 1:1 vfsmount superblock relation, but I want to get rid of update_atime so filesystems authors can't easily screw up per-mountpoint noatime support.

To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime. This preparation patch replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so we can easily get at the vfsmount. (and the file makes more sense in this context anyway). Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always want to update the ctime when calling this routine. Signed-off-by:

) From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems lack some or all of them. To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions. Signed-off-by:

I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The following patch ends that dependency. I thought of hiding it under CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible. I will also update the documentation accordingly. o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose CONFIG_EMBEDDED. o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer to kexec and kdump options. Signed-off-by:

- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash kernel. - crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has occured. One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one. Hence it has been inlined. More call frames later get pushed on to stack (machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to backtrace those. - Not very sure about the CFI annotations. With this patch I am getting decent backtrace with gdb. Assuming, compiler has generated enough debugging information for crash_kexec(). Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop this call frame. - Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown. - Introducing CRASH_DUMP option in Kconfig for x86_64.

) From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> crash_setup_regs() is an architecture dependent function which is called in architecture independent section. So every architecture supporting kexec should at least provide a dummy definition of crash_setup_regs() even if crash dumping is not implemented yet, to avoid build failures. Signed-off-by:

Fixes a compilation warning message in i386 Signed-off-by:

- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec). - In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back trace problems for ppc64. - This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made inline - crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386. crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is pushed onto stack. Signed-off-by:

- Kexec on panic functionality allocates memory for saving cpu registers in case of system crash event. Address of this allocated memory needs to be exported to user space, which is used by kexec-tools. - Previously, a single /sys/kernel/crash_notes entry was being exported as memory allocated was a single continuous array. Now memory allocation being dyanmic and per cpu based, address of per cpu buffer is exported through "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes" Signed-off-by:

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated statically for NR_CPUS. - This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes. It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage. - Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions. - This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and allocation of this memory can be architecture independent. Signed-off-by:
