d0b6e04a4c tracing/events: Move TRACE_SYSTEM outside of include guard
If TRACE_INCLDUE_FILE is defined, <trace/events/TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.h>
will be included and compiled, otherwise it will be
<trace/events/TRACE_SYSTEM.h>

So TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if proctection,
just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

Imaging this scenario:

 #include <trace/events/foo.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == foo
 ...
 #include <trace/events/bar.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar
 ...
 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/events/foo.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar !!!

and then bar.h will be included and compiled.

405f55712d headers: smp_lock.h redux
* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

f9fabcb58a personality: fix PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID
We have found that the current PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID mask on Linux doesn't
include neither ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT, nor MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.

The current mask is READ_IMPLIES_EXEC|ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.

We believe it is important to add MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, because by using this
personality it is possible to have the first page mapped inside a
process running as setuid root.  This could be used in those scenarios:

 - Exploiting a NULL pointer dereference issue in a setuid root binary
 - Bypassing the mmap_min_addr restrictions of the Linux kernel: by
   running a setuid binary that would drop privileges before giving us
   control back (for instance by loading a user-supplied library), we
   could get the first page mapped in a process we control.  By further
   using mremap and mprotect on this mapping, we can then completely
   bypass the mmap_min_addr restrictions.

Less importantly, we believe ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT should also be added
since on x86 32bits it will in practice disable most of the address
space layout randomization (only the stack will remain randomized).

d86ee4809d sched: optimize cond_resched()
Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional.

Currently cond_resched() checks system_state ==
SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the
scheduler is running.

We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

c99e6efe1b sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT
Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

ecb554a846 block: fix sg SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV regression
I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).

Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html

=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
   - copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
   - do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
     (data from device) variety. This would overwrite
     some or all of the kernel buffer
   - copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.

The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=

This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.

It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.

a57de0b433 net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks
Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.

CPU1                         CPU2

sys_select                   receive packet
  ...                        ...
  __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
  ...                        ...
  tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
  ...                        {
  schedule                      ...
                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.

Calls to poll_wait in following modules were ommited:
	net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c
	net/irda/af_irda.c
	net/irda/irnet/irnet_ppp.c
	net/mac80211/rc80211_pid_debugfs.c

if include/linux/errno.h is not included before.

Fix this by adding #include <linux/errno.h> at the beginning.

a65e7bfcd7 elf: fix multithreaded program core dumping on arm
Fix the multithread program core thread message error.

This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them.

The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status.
The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function.

If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS,
elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing.  Then the core file will not
have the register message of thread.

So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS
doesn't define.

The following is how to reproduce this issue:

cat 1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>

void td1(void * i)
{
       while (1)
       {
               printf ("1\n");
               sleep (1);
       }

       return;
}

void td2(void * i)
{
       while (1)
       {
               printf ("2\n");
               sleep (1);
       }

       return;
}

int
main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[])
{
       pthread_t       t1,t2;

       pthread_create(&t1, NULL, (void*)td1, NULL);
       pthread_create(&t2, NULL, (void*)td2, NULL);

       sleep (10);

       assert(0);

       return (0);
}
arm-xxx-gcc -g -lpthread 1.c -o 1
copy 1.c and 1 to a arm board.
Goto this board.
ulimit -c 1800000
./1
# ./1
1
2
1
...
...
1
1: 1.c:37: main: Assertion `0' failed.

Then you can get a core file.

 2 process 908  0x00000000 in ?? ()

infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs.  Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end.  This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec

537a1bf059 fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.

Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used.  Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.

This is 2.6.31 material.  It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()).  It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

70d6027ff2 spi: add spi_master flag word
Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that
controller.  Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction.
Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver.

Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag.  Its coding
relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the
underlying controller driver won't perform them.

(The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the
temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in
which case the existing code applies.  Similarly, any spi_master
implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)

b55f627fee spi: new spi->mode bits
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:

 * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
   line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
   full duplex.

   This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
   chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
   transitions with the SPI master.

 * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
   to pause the clock.  This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
   4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
   each of the 3-wire flavors).

   Such hardware flow control can be a big win.  There are ADC
   converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
   many host controllers support it today.

The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack.  That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

341c87bf34 elf: limit max map count to safe value
With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.

When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.

==
	... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...)
	if (failed)
		abort();
==

This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma().

I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good
for avoiding unexpected corrupted core.

Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

b01e8dc343 alpha: fix percpu build breakage
alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
modules to work around addressing range limitation.  This is done via
generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
assembler to generate external reference.  This happens behind the
compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
in modules are unused.

This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
__used can't be used for declaration.  Also, in the process,
PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.

This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules.  This
also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

2a2325e6e8 gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment
The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.

Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned.  However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code.  When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps.  So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:

133890103b eventfd: revised interface and cleanups
Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.

Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away.  Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.

This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.

3b463ae0c6 fuse: invalidation reverse calls
Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS
caches.

Two notifications are added:

 1) inode invalidation

   - invalidate cached attributes
   - invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional)

 2) dentry invalidation

   - try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache

Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the
mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress.  To
prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during
the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

e0a43ddcc0 fuse: allow umask processing in userspace
This patch lets filesystems handle masking the file mode on creation.
This is needed if filesystem is using ACLs.

 - The CREATE, MKDIR and MKNOD requests are extended with a "umask"
   parameter.

 - A new FUSE_DONT_MASK flag is added to the INIT request/reply.  With
   this the filesystem may request that the create mode is not masked.

57e7986ed1 perf_counter: Provide a way to enable counters on exec
This provides a way to mark a counter to be enabled on the next
exec. This is useful for measuring the total activity of a
program without including overhead from the process that
launches it.

This also changes the perf stat command to use this new
facility.
