We never want to rely on the hvc workqueue to emit output, because the most interesting output is when the kernel is broken. This will improve oops/crash/console message for better debugging.

2009-10-22virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.hChristian Borntraeger2-2/+0
Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

Call compat_unimap_ioctl, not do_unimap_ioctl. This was broken by commit e9216651. The compat_unimap_ioctl was originally called do_unimap_ioctl in fs/compat_ioctl.h which got moved to drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c.

2009-10-03tty: Avoid dropping ldisc_mutex over hangup tty re-initializationLinus Torvalds1-5/+2
A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c, tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away during the tty hangup. See for example http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255 and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a deadlock with vhangup_work. However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by - using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any random outstanding pending work. This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers. - realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves. so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex. That way we never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.

2009-09-30pty: reconnect the BSD TIOCSPTLCK handling to legacy ptysLinus Torvalds1-21/+26
David Howells noticed (due to the compiler warning about an unused 'pty_ops_bsd' variable) that we haven't actually been using the code that implements TIOCSPTLCK for legacy pty handling. It's been that way since 2.6.26, commit 3e8e88ca053150efdbecb45d8f481cf560ec808d to be exact ("pty: prepare for tty->ops changes"). DavidH initially submitted a patch just removing the dead code entirely, and since nobody has apparently ever complained, I'm not entirely sure that wouldn't be the right thing to do. But since the whole and only point of the legacy pty code is to be compatible with legacy distros that don't use the new unix98 pty model, let's just wire it up again. And clean it up a bit while we're at it. Acked-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-09-27tty: Fix regressions caused by commit b50989dcDave Young1-5/+10
The following commit made console open fails while booting: commit b50989dc444599c8b21edc23536fc305f4e9b7d5 Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:22 2009 -0700 tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the following will be reported while booting: INIT open /dev/console Input/output error It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229 The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned. Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion: Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO. I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions. tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty onto the waitqueue for destruction tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs. We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0 ... the end) to occur asynchronously The USB update in -next would then need a call like if (tty->cleanup) tty->cleanup(tty); at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep. In other words the logic becomes final kref put make object unfindable async clean it up Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> [ rjw: Rebased on top of 2.6.31-git, reworked the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: "Rafael J.

2009-09-24hpet: hpet driver periodic timer setup bug fixesNils Carlson1-9/+12
The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly, both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic mode). With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has the side effect of overwriting the comparator value. This results in wrong periodicity for the interrupts. For, periodic interrupts to work, following steps are necessary, in that order. * Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit * Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the first interrupt should be generated * Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf ) When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation. Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable of doing periodic interrupts. This hp_delta will result in slower than expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

2009-09-23BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix it and a couple of bogus uses of itJan Beulich1-2/+2
gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the condition isn't really constant now also need fixing. Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

2009-09-23seq_file: constify seq_operationsJames Morris2-3/+3
Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against revectoring user-triggerable function pointers. This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.

2009-09-23virtio: make add_buf return capacity remainingRusty Russell2-3/+3
This API change means that virtio_net can tell how much capacity remains for buffers. It's necessarily fuzzy, since VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC means we can fit any number of descriptors in one, *if* we can kmalloc.

2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich1-2/+2
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar1-2/+2
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.
