Impact: fix boot crash on Intel Perfmon Version 1 systems Intel Perfmon v1 does not support the global MSRs, nor does it offer the generalized MSR ranges. So support v2 and later CPUs only. Also mark pmc_ops as read-mostly - to avoid false cacheline sharing. Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: build fix In order to compile a kernel with performance counter patches, <asm/irq_regs.h> has to be included to provide the declaration of struct pt_regs *get_irq_regs(void); [ This bug was masked by unrelated x86 header file changes in the x86 tree, but occurs in the tip:perfcounters/core standalone tree. ] Signed-off-by: Tim Blechmann <tim@klingt.org> Orig-LKML-Reference: <20090314142925.49c29c17@thinkpad> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

I noticed that the counter_list only includes top-level counters, thus perf_swcounter_event() will miss sw-counters in groups. Since perf_swcounter_event() also wants an RCU safe list, create a new event_list that includes all counters and uses RCU list ops and use call_rcu to free the counter structure.

We need to ensure the enabled=0 write happens before we start disabling the actual counters, so that a pcm_amd_enable() will not enable one underneath us. I think the race is impossible anyway, we always balance the ops within any one context and perform enable() with IRQs disabled.

AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent NUL-terminated. Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using audit_log_n_untrustedstring(). This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control() to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL. audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory is after the NULL. Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it) we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using audit_log_untrustedstring.

(updated) Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same. EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts "\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in an audit record. record before this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n" record after this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\"" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check, Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI passes it on to the driver's .notify() method. In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own handlers for device-specific notifications. For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's no notification value because there's no control method to execute a Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff range used by Notify opcodes. Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch doesn't affect that usage. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
