2010-12-22x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on ↵Don Zickus1-1/+2
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a local implementation to the global one provide by kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of compile problems under different config options. I attempt to simplify things with the patch below. In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing, the former on a local level and the latter on a global level. With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't make sense any more. x86 will now use the global implementation. The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog functionality, so the change should make sense. Second, I removed the x86 implementation of touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation. Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This changes removes some of the ugliness in that file. Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can only have one nmi_watchdog. Tested with ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken configs) Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken emails. :-) v3: changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

2010-12-02timers: Introduce timerlist infrastructure.John Stultz2-1/+119
The timerlist infrastructure is a thin layer over the rbtree code that implements a simple list of timers sorted by an expires value, and a getnext function that provides a pointer to the earliest timer. This infrastructure allows drivers and other kernel infrastructure to easily implement timers without duplicating code.

2010-11-29Revert "debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages."Dave Airlie1-2/+0
This reverts commit e0fdace10e75dac67d906213b780ff1b1a4cc360. On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit and on list. The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat 2 days prior).

2010-11-12radix-tree: fix RCU bugNick Piggin1-25/+58
Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug: In the following case, we get can get a deadlock: 0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0. 1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock. 2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item. 3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for deletion after the readers finish. 3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in the rcu-delayed indirect node. 4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref count 5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop. The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

2010-10-26div64_u64(): improve precision on 32bit platformsBrian Behlendorf1-10/+42
The current implementation of div64_u64 for 32bit systems returns an approximately correct result when the divisor exceeds 32bits. Since doing 64bit division using 32bit hardware is a long since solved problem we just use one of the existing proven methods. Additionally, add a div64_s64 function to correctly handle doing signed 64bit division.

The 'lib_sort()' test does not free memory if it fails, and it makes the kernel panic if it cannot allocate memory. This patch fixes the problem. This patch also changes several small things: o use 'list_add()' helper instead of adding manually o introduce temporary 'el1' variable to avoid ugly and unreadalbe "if" statement o make 'head' to be stack variable instead of 'kmalloc()'ed, which simplifies code a bit Overall, this patch is of clean-up type.

2010-10-26lib/list_sort: test: use generic random32Artem Bityutskiy1-12/+15
Instead of using own pseudo-random generator, use generic linux 'random32()' function. Presumably, this should improve test coverage. At the same time, do the following changes: o Use shorter macro name for test list length o Do not use strange 'l_h' name for 'struct list_head' element, use 'list', because it is traditional name and thus, makes the code more obvious and readable.

2010-10-26lib/Kconfig.debug: add list_sort debugging switchArtem Bityutskiy2-2/+11
While hunting a non-existing bug in 'list_sort()', I've improved the 'list_sort_test()' function which tests the 'list_sort()' library call. Although at the end I found a bug in my code, but not in 'list_sort()', I think my clean-ups and improvements are worth merging because they make the test function better.

2010-10-26percpu_counter: add debugobj supportTejun Heo2-0/+56
All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down. If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such problems can be found easily. As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit 602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70() Hardware name: Bochs ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: percpu_counter Modules linked in: Pid: 3999, comm: umount Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-work+ #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81083f7f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81084076>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff813b45cc>] debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70 [<ffffffff813b50e5>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x125/0x210 [<ffffffff811577d3>] kfree+0xb3/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81132edd>] shmem_put_super+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81162e96>] generic_shutdown_super+0x56/0xe0 [<ffffffff81162f86>] kill_anon_super+0x16/0x60 [<ffffffff81162ff7>] kill_litter_super+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff81163295>] deactivate_locked_super+0x45/0x60 [<ffffffff81163cfa>] deactivate_super+0x4a/0x70 [<ffffffff8117d446>] mntput_no_expire+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff8117df7f>] sys_umount+0x6f/0x360 [<ffffffff8103f01b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace cce2a341ba3611a7 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglxlinutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-22kobject: Introduce kset_find_obj_hinted.Robin Holt1-0/+39
One call chain getting to kset_find_obj is: link_mem_sections() find_mem_section() kset_find_obj() This is done during boot. The memory sections were added in a linearly increasing order and link_mem_sections tends to utilize them in that same linear order. Introduce a kset_find_obj_hinted which is passed the result of the previous kset_find_obj which it uses for a quick "is the next object our desired object" check before falling back to the old behavior.

2010-10-22Dynamic Debug: Initialize dynamic debug earlier via arch_initcallThomas Renninger1-10/+23
Having the ddebug_query= boot parameter it makes sense to set up dynamic debug as soon as possible. I expect sysfs files cannot be set up via an arch_initcall, because this one is even before fs_initcall. Therefore I splitted the dynamic_debug_init function into an early one and a later one providing /sys/../dynamic_debug/control file. Possibly dynamic_debug can be initialized even earlier, not sure whether this still makes sense then. I picked up arch_initcall as it covers quite a lot already. Dynamic debug needs to allocate memory, therefore it's not easily possible to set it up even before the command line gets parsed. Therefore the boot param query string is stored in a temp string which is applied when dynamic debug gets set up. This has been tested with ddebug_query="file ec.c +p" and I could retrieve pr_debug() messages early at boot during ACPI setup: ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: transaction start ACPI: EC: <--- command = 0x80 ACPI: EC: ~~~> interrupt ACPI: EC: ---> status = 0x08 ACPI: EC: <--- data = 0xa4 ...

2010-10-22Dynamic Debug: Introduce ddebug_query= boot parameterThomas Renninger1-0/+25
Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time. One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks. This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param. When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be applied.

2010-10-21BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.Arnd Bergmann1-0/+9
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann1-0/+1
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-10-05modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption raceLinus Torvalds1-4/+2
With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73 will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head. This is dangerous because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the "containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head. So the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write access, we can end up with memory corruption.
