Some rtc devices always return '0' when rtc_class_ops.read_time is called. So if rtc_time isn't verified in callback, rtc interface cannot know whether rtc_time is valid. Check rtc_time by using 'rtc_valid_tm' in '__rtc_read_time'. And add the message for debugging. Signed-off-by:

Move rtc register to be later than hardware initialization. The reason is that devm_rtc_device_register() will do read_time() which is a callback accessing hardware. This sometimes causes a hang in the hardware related callback. Signed-off-by:

If some error happens in NCP_IOC_SETROOT ioctl, the appropriate error return value is then (in most cases) just overwritten before we return. This can result in reporting success to userspace although error happened. This bug was introduced by commit 2e54eb96 ("BKL: Remove BKL from ncpfs"). Propagate the errors correctly.

If a user puts init=/whatever on the command line and /whatever can't be run, then the kernel will try a few default options before giving up. If init=/whatever came from a bootloader prompt, then this is unexpected but probably harmless. On the other hand, if it comes from a script (e.g. a tool like virtme or perhaps a future kselftest script), then the fallbacks are likely to exist, but they'll do the wrong thing. For example, they might unexpectedly invoke systemd. This adds a config option CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK. If unset, then a failure to run the specified init= process be fatal. The tentative plan is to remove CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK for 3.20. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper and it is supposed to return the same value for the same vma. But vma_dump_size() could return different values for same vma. The known problem case is concurrent shared memory removal. If a vma is used for a shared memory and that shared memory is removed between writing program header and dumping vma memory, this will result in a dump file which is internally consistent. To fix the problem, we set baseline to get dump size and store the size into vma_filesz and always use the same vma dump size which is stored in vma_filsz. The consistnecy with reality is not actually guranteed, but it's tolerable since that is fully consistent with base line. Signed-off-by:

When trying to develop a custom format handler, the errors returned all effectively get bucketed as EINVAL with no kernel messages. The other errors (ENOMEM/EFAULT) are internal/obvious and basic. Thus any time a bad handler is rejected, the developer has to walk the dense code and try to guess where it went wrong. Needing to dive into kernel code is itself a fairly high barrier for a lot of people. To improve this situation, let's deploy extensive pr_debug markers at logical parse points, and add comments to the dense parsing logic. It let's you see exactly where the parsing aborts, the string the kernel received (useful when dealing with shell code), how it translated the buffers to binary data, and how it will apply the mask at runtime. Some example output: $ echo ':qemu-foo:M::\x7fELF\xAD\xAD\x01\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\x00:/usr/bin/qemu-foo:POC' > register $ dmesg binfmt_misc: register: received 92 bytes binfmt_misc: register: delim: 0x3a {:} binfmt_misc: register: name: {qemu-foo} binfmt_misc: register: type: M (magic) binfmt_misc: register: offset: 0x0 binfmt_misc: register: magic[raw]: 5c 78 37 66 45 4c 46 5c 78 41 44 5c 78 41 44 5c \x7fELF\xAD\xAD\ binfmt_misc: register: magic[raw]: 78 30 31 5c 78 30 30 00 x01\x00. binfmt_misc: register: mask[raw]: 5c 78 66 66 5c 78 66 66 5c 78 66 66 5c 78 66 66 \xff\xff\xff\xff binfmt_misc: register: mask[raw]: 5c 78 66 66 5c 78 30 30 5c 78 66 66 5c 78 30 30 \xff\x00\xff\x00 binfmt_misc: register: mask[raw]: 00 . binfmt_misc: register: magic/mask length: 8 binfmt_misc: register: magic[decoded]: 7f 45 4c 46 ad ad 01 00 .ELF.... binfmt_misc: register: mask[decoded]: ff ff ff ff ff 00 ff 00 ........ binfmt_misc: register: magic[masked]: 7f 45 4c 46 ad 00 01 00 .ELF.... binfmt_misc: register: interpreter: {/usr/bin/qemu-foo} binfmt_misc: register: flag: P (preserve argv0) binfmt_misc: register: flag: O (open binary) binfmt_misc: register: flag: C (preserve creds) The [raw] lines show us exactly what was received from userspace.

Checkpatch flags CamelCase identifiers in strict mode, but it has a feature to ignore parts with only two characters to allow for SI units like mV or uA. Unfortunately, not all SI units fit in two characters, and not all are lower case followed by upper case. This patch adds hardcoded detection for frequency and 1024-based size units (Hz/KHz/MHz/GHz/THz and KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB), since allowing any three character combinations might be too lenient. The list can later be expanded as needed. Signed-off-by:

Pranith Kumar posted a patch in which removed the "volatile" qualifier for the "logbuf_cpu" variable in vprintk_emit(). https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/13/894 In his patch, he used ACCESS_ONCE() for all references to that symbol to provide whatever protection was intended. There was some discussion that followed, and in the end Steven Rostedt concluded that not only was "volatile" not needed, neither was it required to use ACCESS_ONCE(). I offered an elaborate description that concluded Steven was right, and Pranith asked me to submit an alternative patch. And this is it. The basic reason "volatile" is not needed is that "logbuf_cpu" has static storage duration, and vprintk_emit() is an exported interface. This means that the value of logbuf_cpu must be read from memory the first time it is used in a particular call of vprintk_emit(). The variable's value is read only once in that function, when it's read it'll be the copy from memory (or cache). In addition, the value of "logbuf_cpu" is only ever written under protection of a spinlock. So the value that is read is the "real" value (and not an out-of-date cached one). If its value is not UINT_MAX, it is the current CPU's processor id, and it will have been last written by the running CPU. Signed-off-by:Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Reported-by:

There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning. An example of the panic_on_warn output: The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s location. After that the panic() output is displayed.

Macro get_unused_fd() is used to allocate a file descriptor with default flags. Those default flags (0) don't enable close-on-exec. This can be seen as an unsafe default: in most case close-on-exec should be enabled to not leak file descriptor across exec(). It would be better to have a "safer" default set of flags, eg. O_CLOEXEC must be used to enable close-on-exec. Instead this patch removes get_unused_fd() so that out of tree modules won't be affect by a runtime behavor change which might introduce other kind of bugs: it's better to catch the change at build time, making it easier to fix. Removing the macro will also promote use of get_unused_fd_flags() (or anon_inode_getfd()) with flags provided by userspace. Or, if flags cannot be given by userspace, with flags set to O_CLOEXEC by default. Signed-off-by:

Now that forget_original_parent() uses ->ptrace_entry for EXIT_DEAD tasks, we can simply pass "dead_children" list to exit_ptrace() and remove another release_task() loop. Plus this way we do not need to drop and reacquire tasklist_lock. Also shift the list_empty(ptraced) check, if we want this optimization it makes sense to eliminate the function call altogether.

1. Now that reparent_leader() doesn't abuse ->sibling we can shift list_move_tail() from reparent_leader() to forget_original_parent() and turn it into a single list_splice_tail_init(). This also makes BUG_ON(!list_empty()) and list_for_each_entry_safe() unnecessary. 2. This also allows to shift the same_thread_group() check, it looks a bit more clear in the caller. Signed-off-by:

1. Cosmetic, but "if (t->parent == father)" looks a bit confusing. We need to change t->parent if and only if t is not traced. 2. If we actually want this BUG_ON() to ensure that parent/ptrace match each other, then we should also take ptrace_reparented() case into account too. 3. Change this code to use for_each_thread() instead of deprecated while_each_thread(). [dan.carpenter@oracle.com: silence a bogus static checker warning] Signed-off-by:

reparent_leader() reuses ->sibling as a list node to add an EXIT_DEAD task into dead_children list we are going to release. This obviously removes the dead task from its real_parent->children list and this is even good; the parent can do nothing with the EXIT_DEAD reparented zombie, it only makes do_wait() slower. But, this also means that it can not be reparented once again, so if its new parent dies too nobody will update ->parent/real_parent, they can point to the freed memory even before release_task() we are going to call, this breaks the code which relies on pid_alive() to access ->real_parent/parent. Fortunately this is mostly theoretical, this can only happen if init or PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER process ignores SIGCHLD and the new parent sub-thread exits right after we drop tasklist_lock. Change this code to use ->ptrace_entry instead, we know that the child is not traced so nobody can ever use this member. This also allows to unify this logic with exit_ptrace(), see the next changes. Note: we really need to change release_task() to nullify real_parent/ parent/group_leader pointers, but we need to change the current users first somehow. And it would be better to reap this zombie immediately but release_task_locked() we need is complicated by proc_flush_task(). Signed-off-by:

rcu_read_lock() can not protect p->real_parent if release_task(p) was already called, change sched_show_task() to check pis_alive() like other users do. Note: we need some helpers to cleanup the code like this. And it seems that that the usage of cpu_curr(cpu) in dump_cpu_task() is not safe too. Signed-off-by:
