2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debuggingIngo Molnar25-567/+265
Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: add disable/enable_irq_lockdep() APIIngo Molnar1-1/+48

So move them out of the CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS define - all architectures have a common prototype for this anyway. Add special lockdep variants of irq line disabling/enabling. These should be used for locking constructs that know that a particular irq context which is disabled, and which is the only irq-context user of a lock, that it's safe to take the lock in the irq-disabled section without disabling hardirqs.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: floppy.c irq release fixIngo Molnar1-38/+4
The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma resources from interrupt context. The initial solution was to use schedule_work() to push this into process context, but this caused further problems: for example the current floppy driver in -mm2 is totally broken and all floppy commands time out with an error. (as reported by Barry K. Nathan) This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic IRQ and DMA allocation/freeing. I doubt it made much sense back in the heydays of floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then we didnt handle those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes near zero sense. So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing: allocate IRQ and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at module removal time. Dont try to release while the driver is operational. This, besides making the floppy driver functional again has an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are finally persistent and visible in /proc/interrupts: 6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off timeouts, etc. - and everything seems to be working fine.

2006-07-03[PATCH] binfmt_elf: fix checks for bad addressChuck Ebbert1-8/+7
Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks. Taken from RHEL4 kernel update. From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com> For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for user-space mappings. The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c. There were two in-line validations of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted yesterday. Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded. The additional changes that I propose are below. These are in the error paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the task's original address space). The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if". There were two problems here. The printk() should be removed because this path can be triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a malicious user. Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec handlers (twice, in fact). But it's too late for this to work correctly, because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec() failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer exists. The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate the search loop immediately. I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space). The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if". There were two problems here as well. The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN. And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.

2006-07-03[PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/OChristoph Lameter7-14/+69
It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and so the page allocator has to go off-node. This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs when we run out of memory in a zone. The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles. With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again. The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30 second timeout.

Have a special version of print_symbol() for s390 which clears the most significant bit of addr before calling __print_symbol(). This seems to be better than checking/changing each place in the kernel that saves an instruction pointer. Without this the output would look like: hardirqs last enabled at (30907): [<80018c6a>] 0x80018c6a hardirqs last disabled at (30908): [<8001e48c>] 0x8001e48c softirqs last enabled at (30904): [<8001dc96>] 0x8001dc96 softirqs last disabled at (30897): [<8001dc50>] 0x8001dc50 instead of this: hardirqs last enabled at (19421): [<80018c72>] cpu_idle+0x176/0x1c4 hardirqs last disabled at (19422): [<8001e494>] io_no_vtime+0xa/0x1a softirqs last enabled at (19418): [<8001dc9e>] do_softirq+0xa6/0xe8 softirqs last disabled at (19411): [<8001dc58>] do_softirq+0x60/0xe8 Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-03[PATCH] time initialisation fixjohn stultz1-1/+3
We're not reay to take a timer interrupt until timekeeping_init() has run. But time_init() will start the time interrupt and if it is called with local interrupts enabled we'll immediately take an interrupt and die. Fix that by running timekeeping_init() prior to time_init(). We don't know _why_ local interrupts got enabled on Jesse Brandeburg's machine. That's a separate as-yet-unsolved problem. THe patch adds a little bit of debugging to detect that. This whole requirement that local interrupts be held off during early boot keeps on biting us.
