Richard Purdie authored
The LED class/subsystem takes John Lenz's work and extends and alters it to give what I think should be a fairly universal LED implementation. The series consists of several logical units: * LED Core + Class implementation * LED Trigger Core implementation * LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger) * LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models * LED device driver for locomo LEDs * LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs * Zaurus charging LED trigger * IDE disk activity LED trigger * NAND MTD activity LED trigger Why? ==== LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned on and off so why do we need all this code? On handheld or embedded devices they're an important part of an often limited user interface. Both users and developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large. A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner. The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent interface to userspace. Other Implementations ===================== I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation. Currently the new subsystem and the arm code can coexist quite happily. Its up to the arm community to decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them. As far as I can see, the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more generic, configurable and scalable. I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it) if appropriate. Implementation Details ====================== I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class. Colours were removed as LED colour is now part of the device name. Multiple colours are to be handled as multiple led devices. This means you get full control over each colour. I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't going to add much overhead and is just as useful. I also decided to have the LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling) removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers. An underlying design philosophy is simplicity. The aim is to keep a small amount of code giving as much functionality as possible. The major new idea is the led "trigger". A trigger is a source of led events. Triggers can either be simple or complex. A simple trigger isn't configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging triggers. With leds disabled, the code optimises away. Examples are nand-disk and ide-disk. Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example. You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger). So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems. Known Issues ============ The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue compared to the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The rest of the LED subsystem can be modular. Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware. As this isn't a generic LED device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg. to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended). Future Development ================== At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED. There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a particular LED. The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current interface. A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation should be trivial to add. This patch: Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and how it appears to users. Signed-off-by:

sys_flock() currently has a race which can result in a double free in the multi-thread case. Thread 1 Thread 2 sys_flock(file, LOCK_EX) sys_flock(file, LOCK_UN) If Thread 2 removes the lock from inode->i_lock before Thread 1 tests for list_empty(&lock->fl_link) at the end of sys_flock, then both threads will end up calling locks_free_lock for the same lock. Fix is to make flock_lock_file() do the same as posix_lock_file(), namely to make a copy of the request, so that the caller can always free the lock. This also has the side-effect of fixing up a reference problem in the lockd handling of flock. Signed-off-by:

IN_DELETE events are no longer generated for the removal of a file from a watched directory. This seems to be a result of clearing DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED in d_delete() directly before calling fsnotify_nameremove(). Assuming the flag doesn't need to be cleared before dentry_iput(), this should do the trick. Signed-off-by:

Fix memory migration so that it works regardless of what cpuset the invoking task is in. If a task invoked a memory migration, by doing one of: 1) writing a different nodemask to a cpuset 'mems' file, or 2) writing a tasks pid to a different cpuset's 'tasks' file, where the cpuset had its 'memory_migrate' option turned on, then the allocation of the new pages for the migrated task(s) was constrained by the invoking tasks cpuset. If this task wasn't in a cpuset that allowed the requested memory nodes, the memory migration would happen to some other nodes that were in that invoking tasks cpuset. This was usually surprising and puzzling behaviour: Why didn't the pages move? Why did the pages move -there-? To fix this, temporarilly change the invoking tasks 'mems_allowed' task_struct field to the nodes the migrating tasks is moving to, so that new pages can be allocated there.

I noticed a bug on the process accounting facility. In multi-threading process, some data would be recorded incorrectly when the group_leader dies earlier than one or more threads. The attached patch fixes this problem. See below. 'bugacct' is a test program that create a worker thread after 4 seconds sleeping, then the group_leader dies soon. The worker thread consume CPU/Memory for 6 seconds, then exit. We can estimate 10 seconds as etime and 6 seconds as stime + utime. This is a sample program which the group_leader dies earlier than other threads. The results of same binary execution on different kernel are below. -- accounted records -------------------- | btime | utime | stime | etime | minflt | majflt | comm | original | 13:16:40 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 6.10 | 171 | 0 | bugacct | patched | 13:20:21 | 5.83 | 0.18 | 10.03 | 32776 | 0 | bugacct | (*) bugacct allocates 128MB memory, thus 128MB / 4KB = 32768 of minflt is appropriate. -- Test results in original kernel ------ $ date; time -p ./bugacct Tue Mar 28 13:16:36 JST 2006 <- But pacct said btime is 13:16:40 real 10.11 <- But pacct said etime is 6.10 user 5.96 <- But pacct said utime is 0.00 sys 0.14 <- But pacct said stime is 0.00 $ -- Test results in patched kernel ------- $ date; time -p ./bugacct Tue Mar 28 13:20:21 JST 2006 real 10.04 user 5.83 sys 0.19 $ In the original 2.6.16 kernel, pacct records btime, utime, stime, etime and minflt incorrectly. In my opinion, this problem is caused by an assumption that group_leader dies last. The following section calculates process running time for etime and btime. But it means running time of the thread that dies last, not process. The start_time of the first thread in the process (group_leader) should be reduced from uptime to calculate etime and btime correctly. ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c: /* calculate run_time in nsec*/ do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime); run_time = (u64)uptime.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + uptime.tv_nsec; run_time -= (u64)current->start_time.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + current->start_time.tv_nsec; ---- The following section calculates stime and utime of the process. But it might count the utime and stime of the group_leader duplicatly and ignore the utime and stime of the thread dies last, when one or more threads remain after group_leader dead. The ac_utime should be calculated as the sum of the signal->utime and utime of the thread dies last. The ac_stime should be done also. ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c: jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->utime, current->signal->utime)); ac.ac_utime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies)); jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->stime, current->signal->stime)); ac.ac_stime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies)); ---- The part of the minflt/majflt calculation has same problem. This patch solves those problems, I think. Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: -

Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead. Reasons: - It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with fadvise() can be done in a single syscall. - Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX. The patch wires up the syscall for x86. The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later. Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c. A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz. The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common." Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation details down to that level. Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing. Same with fsync() and fdatasync()). Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such requests fail...

The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit. This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only. Signed-off-by:

Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag introduced in: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26208. GCC 4.2 (or patched earlier GCC) will be able to special case unwinding through frames right above signal trampolines. As the augmentations start with z flag and S is at the very end of the augmentation string, older GCCs will just skip the S flag as unknown (that's why an augmentation flag was chosen over say a new CFA opcode).

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.

If running on a host not supporting TLS (for instance 2.4) we should report that cleanly to the user, instead of printing not comprehensible "error 5" for that. Additionally, i386 and x86_64 support different ranges for user_desc->entry_number, and we must account for that; we couldn't pass ourselves -1 because we need to override previously existing TLS descriptors which glibc has possibly set, so test at startup the range to use. x86 and x86_64 existing ranges are hardcoded.
