2009-07-29sysrq, kdump: make sysrq-c consistentHidetoshi Seto
commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump. However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc interface. This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler. And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

2009-07-29pty: avoid forcing 'low_latency' tty flagOGAWA Hirofumi
We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?), and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the low_latency case. So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to be had. This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer (bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack (commit 3a54297478e6578f96fd54bf4daa1751130aca86: "pty: quickfix for the pty ENXIO timing problems").

2009-07-20specialix.c: convert nested spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lockJulia Lawall
If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression lock1,lock2; expression flags; @@ *spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags) ... when != flags *spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-07-16n_tty: Fix echo raceAlan Cox
If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state where - echo characters are pending - FASYNC is enabled - tty_write_wakeup is called from either - a device write path (pty) - an IRQ (serial) then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path. On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up this bug. The code path is n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex) tty_io:tty_put_char() pty:pty_write (or serial paths) tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ) n_tty_write_wakeup() process_echoes() *KABOOM* Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-07-16vt: drop bootmem/slab memory distinctionJohannes Weiner
Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now available at the time the console is initialized. Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem, it's always slab. This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly: Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator") replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to 1 and the memory block is later leaked.

2009-06-29tty: Fix the leak in tty_ldisc_releaseAlan Cox
Currently we reinit the ldisc on final tty close which is what the old code did to ensure that if the device retained its termios settings then it had the right ldisc. tty_ldisc_reinit does that but also leaves us with the reset ldisc reference which is then leaked. At this point we know the port will be recycled so we can kill the ldisc off completely rather than try and add another ldisc free up when the kref count hits zero. At this point it is safe to keep the ldisc closed as tty_ldisc waiting methods are only used from the user side, and as the final close we are the last such reference. Interrupt/driver side methods will always use the non wait version and get back a NULL. Found with kmemleak and investigated/identified by Catalin Marinas.

2009-06-18kexec: sysrq: simplify sysrq-c handlerNeil Horman
Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its behavior which is really unnecessecary. If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec kernel has been loaded). It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler (assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

2009-06-18ppdev: reduce kernel log spamMichael Buesch
One of my programs frequently grabs the parport, does something with it and then drops it again. This results in spamming of the kernel log with "... registered pardevice" "... unregistered pardevice" These messages are completely useless, except for debugging ppdev, probably. So put them under DEBUG (or dynamic debug).

2009-06-18drivers/char/mem.c: memory_open() cleanup: lookup minor device number from ↵Adriano dos Santos Fernandes
devlist memory_open() ignores devlist and does a switch for each item, duplicating code and conditional definitions. Clean it up by adding backing_dev_info to devlist and use it to lookup for the minor device.

2009-06-17[IA64] Convert ia64 to use int-ll64.hMatthew Wilcox
It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an unsigned long long on all architectures. ia64 (in common with several other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long. Migrating piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h. Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long. This is important as it affects C++ name mangling.
