Commit 49cb25e9 x86: 'get rid of pt_regs argument in vm86/vm86old' got rid of the pt_regs stub for sys_vm86old and sys_vm86. The functions were, however, not changed to use the calling convention for syscalls. [AV: killed asmlinkage_protect() - it's done automatically now] Reported-and-tested-by:

Pull x86/efi changes from Peter Anvin: "The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and breaking it up into a tree of files. There are a number of fixes as well. The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement. Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it out." * 'x86-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: efi: remove "kfree(NULL)" efi: locking fix in efivar_entry_set_safe() efi, pstore: Read data from variable store before memcpy() efi, pstore: Remove entry from list when erasing efi, pstore: Initialise 'entry' before iterating efi: split efisubsystem from efivars efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs efivars: Move pstore code into the new EFI directory efivars: efivar_entry API efivars: Keep a private global pointer to efivars efi: move utf16 string functions to efi.h x86, efi: Make efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range more readable efivarfs: convert to use simple_open()

Al's commit e1b5bb6d ("consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations") broke the build on blackfin and metag due to the following code: #ifndef SYMBOL_NAME #ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x #else #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x #endif #endif #define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x)) __stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get lines like this in kernel/sys_ni.s: .weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl .set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall The patches in Rusty's modules-next tree such as "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup." cleans up the whole mess around symbol prefixes, so this patch just attempts to fix the build in the meantime. The intermediate definition of SYMBOL_NAME above isn't used and is incorrect when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is a quoted string literal, so define __SYMBOL_NAME directly depending on CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.

Clean up the pseries scanlog driver's use of procfs: (1) Don't need to save the proc_dir_entry pointer as we have the filename to remove with.

Clean up some of the problems with the rtas_flash driver: (1) It shouldn't fiddle with the internals of the procfs filesystem (altering pde->count). (2) If pid namespaces are in effect, then you can get multiple inodes connected to a single pde, thereby rendering the pde->count > 2 test useless. (3) The pde->count fudging doesn't work for forked, dup'd or cloned file descriptors, so add static mutexes and use them to wrap access to the driver through read, write and release methods. (4) The driver can only handle one device, so allocate most of the data previously attached to the pde->data as static variables instead (though allocate the validation data buffer with kmalloc). (5) We don't need to save the pde pointers as long as we have the filenames available for removal. (6) Don't try to multiplex what the update file read method does based on the filename. Instead provide separate file ops and split the function. Whilst we're at it, tabulate the procfile information and loop through it when creating or destroying them rather than manually coding each one.

Use remove_proc_subtree() rather than remove_proc_entry() to remove a minor-specific drm proc directory and all its children. Things could theoretically be improved by storing the drm_minor pointer in the minor-specific dir proc_dir_entry struct data and then scrapping the list of proc files - but that's shared with the debugfs interface where you can't do that, so I don't see an easy way of doing it.

Use minor->index to label things, not the name field from the proc_dir_entry of the /proc/dwm/<minor>/ directory. Also, use "%u" not "%d" to render the value and use a 12-byte buffer in which to render the integer, not a 16-byte buffer. The longest string an unsigned int can give you is 10 chars (4294967295) plus a NUL, so round up to 12 as the stack is likely to be 4- or 8-byte aligned. Signed-off-by:

Don't access the proc_dir_entry in ReiserFS's r_open(), r_start() r_show() procfs interface functions. ReiserFS stores the ->show() method pointer in PDE->data and the super_block pointer in PDE->parent->data. This isn't changing. Currently, ReiserFS passes the PDE pointer into seq_file::private from r_open() so that r_start() and r_show() can then access it. Instead, use seq_open_private() to allocate a two-pointer struct that's passed through seq_file::private and put the ->show() method and the sb pointers in there. Signed-off-by:

Supply an accessor function for getting the private data from the parent proc_dir_entry struct of the proc_dir_entry struct associated with an inode. ReiserFS, for instance, stores the super_block pointer in the proc directory it makes for that super_block, and a pointer to the respective seq_file show function in each of the proc files in that directory. This allows a reduction in the number of file_operations structs, open functions and seq_operations structs required. The problem otherwise is that each show function requires two pieces of data but only has storage for one per PDE (and this has no release function). Signed-off-by:

Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1] uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them. If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose critical concurrent changes. This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/ gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word. This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever on a spinlock that will never be available again. A safer way would be to use a long to store flags. This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things. As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits, we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit(). recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock, as it is set only with this spinlock held.

When mutex debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact exectuting in interrupt context interrupt context. After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use here. While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).
