2012-10-12xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
The commit 254d1a3f02ebc10ccc6e4903394d8d3f484f715e, titled "xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel" assumes that the XenBus backend can deal with reading of values from: "control/platform-feature-xs_reset_watches": ... a patch for xenstored is required so that it accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset 23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated kexec boots will fail." Sadly this is not true when using a Xen 3.4 hypervisor and booting a PVHVM guest. We end up hanging at: err = xenbus_scanf(XBT_NIL, "control", "platform-feature-xs_reset_watches", "%d", &supported); This can easily be seen with guests hanging at xenbus_init: NX (Execute Disable) protection: active SMBIOS 2.4 present. DMI: Xen HVM domU, BIOS 3.4.0 05/13/2011 Hypervisor detected: Xen HVM Xen version 3.4. Xen Platform PCI: I/O protocol version 1 ... snip .. calling xenbus_init+0x0/0x27e @ 1 Reverting the commit or using the attached patch fixes the issue.

2012-10-12tty/console: fix warnings in drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.cArnd Bergmann
The con_debug_leave/con_debug_enter functions are stubbed out by defining them to (0), which causes harmless build warnings. Using proper inline functions is the normal way to deal with this. Without this patch, building the ARM bcm2835_defconfig results in: drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c: In function 'kgdboc_pre_exp_handler': drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c:279:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c: In function 'kgdboc_post_exp_handler': drivers/tty/serial/kgdboc.c:293:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2012-10-12kdb,vt_console: Fix missed data due to pager overrunsJason Wessel
It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen. Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you cannot scroll back. The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many characters are printed. It might not be perfect considering you can output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs. This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS variable. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2012-10-12kdb: Fix dmesg/bta scroll to quit with 'q'Jason Wessel
If you press 'q' the pager should exit instead of printing everything from dmesg which can really bog down a 9600 baud serial link. The same is true for the bta command. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2012-10-12kgdboc: Accept either kbd or kdb to activate the vga + keyboard kdb shellJason Wessel
It is a common enough mistake for people to specify "kdb" when they meant to type "kbd" that the kgdboc can just accept both since they both mean the same thing anyway. Specifically it is for the case where you want kdb to be active on your graphics console + keyboard (where kbd was the original abbreviation for keyboard). With this change kgdboc will now accept either to mean the same thing: kgdboc=kbd kgdboc=kdb Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

2012-10-12mips,kgdb: fix recursive page fault with CONFIG_KPROBESJason Wessel
This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature looks like this: kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed Call Trace: [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed to happen.

2012-10-12vfs: allocate page instead of names_cache buffer in mount_block_rootJeff Layton
First, it's incorrect to call putname() after __getname_gfp() since the bare __getname_gfp() call skips the auditing code, while putname() doesn't. mount_block_root allocates a PATH_MAX buffer via __getname_gfp, and then calls get_fs_names to fill the buffer. That function can call get_filesystem_list which assumes that that buffer is a full page in size. On arches where PAGE_SIZE != 4k, then this could potentially overrun. In practice, it's hard to imagine the list of filesystem names even approaching 4k, but it's best to be safe. Just allocate a page for this purpose instead. With this, we can also remove the __getname_gfp() definition since there are no more callers. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-10-12audit: overhaul __audit_inode_child to accomodate retryingJeff Layton
In order to accomodate retrying path-based syscalls, we need to add a new "type" argument to audit_inode_child. This will tell us whether we're looking for a child entry that represents a create or a delete. If we find a parent, don't automatically assume that we need to create a new entry. Instead, use the information we have to try to find an existing entry first. Update it if one is found and create a new one if not.

2012-10-12audit: optimize audit_compare_dname_pathJeff Layton
In the cases where we already know the length of the parent, pass it as a parm so we don't need to recompute it. In the cases where we don't know the length, pass in AUDIT_NAME_FULL (-1) to indicate that it should be determined.

2012-10-12audit: set the name_len in audit_inode for parent lookupsJeff Layton
Currently, this gets set mostly by happenstance when we call into audit_inode_child. While that might be a little more efficient, it seems wrong. If the syscall ends up failing before audit_inode_child ever gets called, then you'll have an audit_names record that shows the full path but has the parent inode info attached. Fix this by passing in a parent flag when we call audit_inode that gets set to the value of LOOKUP_PARENT. We can then fix up the pathname for the audit entry correctly from the get-go. While we're at it, clean up the no-op macro for audit_inode in the !CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL case. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-10-12audit: add a new "type" field to audit_names structJeff Layton
For now, we just have two possibilities: UNKNOWN: for a new audit_names record that we don't know anything about yet NORMAL: for everything else In later patches, we'll add other types so we can distinguish and update records created under different circumstances.

2012-10-12audit: reverse arguments to audit_inode_childJeff Layton
Most of the callers get called with an inode and dentry in the reverse order. The compiler then has to reshuffle the arg registers and/or stack in order to pass them on to audit_inode_child. Reverse those arguments for a micro-optimization. Reported-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2012-10-12audit: no need to walk list in audit_inode if name is NULLJeff Layton
If name is NULL then the condition in the loop will never be true. Also, with this change, we can eliminate the check for n->name == NULL since the equivalence check will never be true if it is. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

That, allied with some bug at the dummy regulator driver, causes OOPSes during boot time. Long story short: even fixing the above, the proposed patches OOPSed when running the DMABUF test. Not sure yet if the OOPSes are due to some other undetected regressions, or due to some bug on the patches.

The main reason to not hold off is that the modifications to irq_domain_add_simple() as reviewed by Rob Herring introduce new infrastructure for irqdomains that will be useful for the next cycle: instead of sprinkling irq descriptor allocation all over the kernel wherever a "legacy" domain is registered, which is necessary for any platform using sparse IRQs, and many irq chips are say GPIO controllers which may be used with several systems, some with sparse IRQs some not, we push this into the irq_domain_add_simple() so we can atleast do mistakes in one place. The irq_domain_add_simple() is currently unused in the kernel, so I need to provide a user. The Nomadik stuff that goes with are changes to the driver I use day-to-day to make use of this facility (and a dependency), so see it as a way to eat my own dogfood: if this blows up the egg hits my face. A second round of pinctrl patches for v3.7: - Complement the Nomadik pinctrl driver with alternate Cx functions so it handles all oddities. - A patch to the IRQdomain to reform the simple irqdomain to handle IRQ descriptor allocation dynamically. - Use the above feature in the Nomadik pin controller." * tag 'pinctrl-for-3.7-late' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: pinctrl/nomadik: use simple or linear IRQ domain irqdomain: augment add_simple() to allocate descs pinctrl/nomadik: support other alternate-C functions

2012-10-11make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselvesAl Viro
Most of them never returned anyway - only two functions had to be changed. That allows to simplify their callers a whole lot. Note that this does *not* apply to kthread_run() callbacks - all of those had been called from the same kernel_thread() callback, which did do_exit() already. This is strictly about very few low-level kernel_thread() callbacks (there are only 6 of those, mostly as part of kthread.h and kmod.h exported mechanisms, plus kernel_init() itself).

2012-10-11make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()Al Viro
The only place where kernel_execve() is called without a way to return to the caller of kernel_thread() callback is kernel_post().

2012-10-11alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handlingAl Viro
In case we have both NEED_RESCHED and SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME, handle the latter first. We'll get to original priorities in the next commit, but now that allows to simplify the treatment of NEED_RESCHED-only case nicely. Namely, now there no need to preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in $work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we want no restarts anymore). So we can just slap 0 into $19 instead of preserving it (and $20). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-10-11vfs: bogus warnings in fs/namei.cArnd Bergmann
The follow_link() function always initializes its *p argument, or returns an error, but when building with 'gcc -s', the compiler gets confused by the __always_inline attribute to the function and can no longer detect where the cookie was initialized. The solution is to always initialize the pointer from follow_link, even in the error path. When building with -O2, this has zero impact on generated code and adds a single instruction in the error path for a -Os build on ARM. Without this patch, building with gcc-4.6 through gcc-4.8 and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE results in: fs/namei.c: In function 'link_path_walk': fs/namei.c:649:24: warning: 'cookie' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] fs/namei.c:1544:9: note: 'cookie' was declared here fs/namei.c: In function 'path_lookupat': fs/namei.c:649:24: warning: 'cookie' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] fs/namei.c:1934:10: note: 'cookie' was declared here fs/namei.c: In function 'path_openat': fs/namei.c:649:24: warning: 'cookie' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] fs/namei.c:2899:9: note: 'cookie' was declared here Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
