2011-05-25lib: add kstrto*_from_user()Alexey Dobriyan1-0/+31
There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*() or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways. Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct. Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends. Typical code which uses them looks very simple: TYPE val; int rv; rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val); if (rv < 0) return rv; [use val] return count; There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits into buffer. This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x". The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and very bug free.

2011-05-25leds: provide helper to register "leds-gpio" devicesUwe Kleine-König1-0/+2
This function makes a deep copy of the platform data to allow it to live in init memory. For a kernel that supports several machines and so includes the definition for several leds-gpio devices this saves quite some memory because all but one definition can be free'd after boot. As the function is used by arch code it must be builtin and so cannot go into leds-gpio.c.

One chips is used for only leds, one has 14 leds and 2 gpio and the rest of the chips are gpio only. There is also one board in mainline which could use this capabilty; arch/arm/mach-iop32x/n2100.c 232 { .type = PCA9532_TYPE_NONE }, /* power OFF gpio */ 233 { .type = PCA9532_TYPE_NONE }, /* reset gpio */ This patch defines a new pin type, PCA9532_TYPE_GPIO, and registers a gpiochip if any pin has this type set. The gpio will registers all chip pins but will filter on gpio_request.

2011-05-25printk: allocate kernel log buffer earlierMike Travis1-0/+7
On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages, the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the log_buf_len param is allocated. Minimize the overflow by allocating the new log buffer as soon as possible. On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from kernel/init.c is the fallback.

2011-05-25memblock: add error return when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK is not setYinghai Lu1-1/+8
On larger systems, information in the kernel log is lost because there is so much early text printed, that it overflows the static log buffer before the log_buf_len kernel parameter can be processed, and a bigger log buffer allocated. Distros are relunctant to increase memory usage by increasing the size of the static log buffer, so minimize the problem by allocating the new log buffer as early as possible. This patch: Add an error return if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK is not set instead of having to add #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK around blocks of code calling that function.

2011-05-25xattr.h: expose string defines to userspaceEric Paris1-4/+4
af4f136056c9 ("security: move LSM xattrnames to xattr.h") moved the XATTR_CAPS_SUFFIX define from capability.h to xattr.h. This makes sense except it was previously exports to userspace but xattr.h does not export it to userspace. This patch exports these headers to userspace to fix the ABI regression. There is some slight possibility that this will cause problems in other applications which used these #defines differently (wrongly) and I could JUST export the capabilities xattr name that we broke.

2011-05-25bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irqMike Travis2-1/+19
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the cpu count is large. Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be: echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity instead of: echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095. We already have many alternate "list" interfaces: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists. This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

2011-05-25ulimit: raise default hard ulimit on number of files to 4096Tim Gardner2-2/+3
Apps are increasingly using more than 1024 file descriptors. See discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g. BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090 https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054 You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit; that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention. Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of not changing kernel defaults in userland. While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.

When CONFIG_TMPFS=n mpol_to_str() is not declared in mempolicy.h. However, in the NUMA case, the definition is always compiled. Since it is not strictly true that tmpfs is the only client, and since the symbol was always lurking around anyways, export mpol_to_str() unconditionally.

2011-05-25tmpfs: implement generic xattr supportEric Paris1-1/+7
Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs, which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs are also needed for overlayfs. The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any {get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs. SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no other security.* xattrs. As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM hooks which implement the helpers. This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not previously possible. The basic implementation is that I attach a: struct shmem_xattr { struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */ char *name; size_t size; char value[0]; }; Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory being allocated for unprivileged users.

2011-05-25mm: delete non-atomic mm counter implementationMatt Fleming2-43/+10
The problem with having two different types of counters is that developers adding new code need to keep in mind whether it's safe to use both the atomic and non-atomic implementations. For example, when adding new callers of the *_mm_counter() functions a developer needs to ensure that those paths are always executed with page_table_lock held, in case we're using the non-atomic implementation of mm counters. Hugh Dickins introduced the atomic mm counters in commit f412ac08c986 ("[PATCH] mm: fix rss and mmlist locking"). When asked why he left the non-atomic counters around he said, | The only reason was to avoid adding costly atomic operations into a | configuration that had no need for them there: the page_table_lock | sufficed. | | Certainly it would be simpler just to delete the non-atomic variant. | | And I think it's fair to say that any configuration on which we're | measuring performance to that degree (rather than "does it boot fast?" | type measurements), would already be going the split ptlocks route. Removing the non-atomic counters eases the maintenance burden because developers no longer have to mindful of the two implementations when using *_mm_counter(). Note that all architectures provide a means of atomically updating atomic_long_t variables, even if they have to revert to the generic spinlock implementation because they don't support 64-bit atomic instructions (see lib/atomic64.c).

This originally started as a simple patch to give vmalloc() some more verbose output on failure on top of the plain page allocator messages. Johannes suggested that it might be nicer to lead with the vmalloc() info _before_ the page allocator messages. But, I do think there's a lot of value in what __alloc_pages_slowpath() does with its filtering and so forth. This patch creates a new function which other allocators can call instead of relying on the internal page allocator warnings. It also gives this function private rate-limiting which separates it from other printk_ratelimit() users.

cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position. It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio. This patch has two change. 1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability 2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future. In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var. It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users. This patch has no functional change.

In order to convert i_mmap_lock to a mutex we need a mutex equivalent to spin_lock_nest_lock(), thus provide the mutex_lock_nest_lock() annotation. As with spin_lock_nest_lock(), mutex_lock_nest_lock() allows annotation of the locking pattern where an outer lock serializes the acquisition order of nested locks. That is, if every time you lock multiple locks A, say A1 and A2 you first acquire N, the order of acquiring A1 and A2 is irrelevant.

2011-05-25mm: mmu_gather reworkPeter Zijlstra2-28/+70
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

2011-05-25mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()Michal Hocko1-3/+5
Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards. check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for VM_GROWSUP case. Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards version in the early process initialization phase for growsup configuration.
