rtc-cmos.c is special.  It is using PNP and platform bindings.  Hopefully
nobody is using PNP IRQ 0 for RTC.  So the changes should be safe.

  from 0 to AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT. This was done because 0 and
  AUTOFS_TYPE_INDIRECT were being treated implicitly as the same

- previously, an offset mount had it's type set to
  AUTOFS_TYPE_DIRECT|AUTOFS_TYPE_OFFSET but the mount control

- a type AUTOFS_TYPE_ANY was added for use by the re-implementation
  when checking if a given path is a mountpoint. It's not really a
  type as we use this to ask if a given path is a mountpoint in the

- functions to set and test the autofs mount types have been added to
  improve readability and make the type usage explicit.

- the mount type is used from user space for the mount control

  been moved to the user space include file include/linux/auto_fs4.h.

eCryptfs: Filename Encryption: Tag 70 packets

This patchset implements filename encryption via a passphrase-derived
mount-wide Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) specified as a mount parameter.
Each encrypted filename has a fixed prefix indicating that eCryptfs should
try to decrypt the filename.  When eCryptfs encounters this prefix, it
decodes the filename into a tag 70 packet and then decrypts the packet
contents using the FNEK, setting the filename to the decrypted filename.
Both unencrypted and encrypted filenames can reside in the same lower
filesystem.

Because filename encryption expands the length of the filename during the
encoding stage, eCryptfs will not properly handle filenames that are
already near the maximum filename length.

In the present implementation, eCryptfs must be able to produce a match
against the lower encrypted and encoded filename representation when given
a plaintext filename.  Therefore, two files having the same plaintext name
will encrypt and encode into the same lower filename if they are both
encrypted using the same FNEK.  This can be changed by finding a way to
replace the prepended bytes in the blocked-aligned filename with random
characters; they are hashes of the FNEK right now, so that it is possible
to deterministically map from a plaintext filename to an encrypted and
encoded filename in the lower filesystem.  An implementation using random
characters will have to decode and decrypt every single directory entry in
any given directory any time an event occurs wherein the VFS needs to
determine whether a particular file exists in the lower directory and the
decrypted and decoded filenames have not yet been extracted for that
directory.

Thanks to Tyler Hicks and David Kleikamp for assistance in the development
of this patchset.

This patch:

A tag 70 packet contains a filename encrypted with a Filename Encryption
Key (FNEK).  This patch implements functions for writing and parsing tag
70 packets.  This patch also adds definitions and extends structures to
support filename encryption.

15 years agomodule: add within_module_core() and within_module_init()
Masami Hiramatsu [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:41:49 +0000 (14:41 -0800)]
module: add within_module_core() and within_module_init()

This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit
functions.  This means, you can probe driver initialization and
terminating.

Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are
freed after module initialization.  And it also can't probe module __exit
functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and
user can't unload it.  this means __exit functions never be called unless
removing probes from the module.

To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets
it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks
MODULE_STATE_* events).  This also removes refcount incrementing for
allowing user to unload target module.  Users can check which probes are
GONE by debugfs interface.  For taking timing of freeing module's .init
text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of
MODULE_STATE_LIVE event.

This patch:

Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an
address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace
within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them.

kprobes: bugfix: try_module_get even if calling_mod is NULL

When someone called register_*probe() from kernel-core code(not from

(on the other hand, if the kernel-module calls register_*probe, kprobe
increments refcount of the probed module.)

Currently, we have no register_*probe() calling from kernel-core(except
smoke-test, but the smoke-test doesn't probe module), so there is no real
bugs.  But the logic is wrong(or not fair) and it can causes a problem
when someone might want to probe module from kernel.

After this patch is applied, even if someone put register_*probe() call in
the kernel-core code, it increments the reference counter of the probed

improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver.

Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on

Russell King [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:41:07 +0000 (14:41 -0800)]
remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h

While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution
in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast
majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.)

Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this
causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build
results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the
dependencies on asm/irq.h.

It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of
linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h.  The patch below removes this
include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel
then omitting asm/irq.h.

My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed
(arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be
negative impacts for this on other architectures.

Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its
asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version
into line with the x86 version.

15 years agopercpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variable
Eric Dumazet [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:41:04 +0000 (14:41 -0800)]
percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variable

For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS

Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes
sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS.

A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32 (This
minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())

We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.

We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant
anymore.

15 years agoAllow times and time system calls to return small negative values
Paul Mackerras [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:41:02 +0000 (14:41 -0800)]
Allow times and time system calls to return small negative values

At the moment, the times() system call will appear to fail for a period
shortly after boot, while the value it want to return is between -4095 and
-1.  The same thing will also happen for the time() system call on 32-bit
platforms some time in 2106 or so.

On some platforms, such as x86, this is unavoidable because of the system
call ABI, but other platforms such as powerpc have a separate error
indication from the return value, so system calls can in fact return small
negative values without indicating an error.  On those platforms,
force_successful_syscall_return() provides a way to indicate that the
system call return value should not be treated as an error even if it is
in the range which would normally be taken as a negative error number.

This adds a force_successful_syscall_return() call to the time() and
times() system calls plus their 32-bit compat versions, so that they don't
erroneously indicate an error on those platforms whose system call ABI has
a separate error indication.  This will not affect anything on other
platforms.

Joakim Tjernlund added the fix for time() and the compat versions of
time() and times(), after I did the fix for times().

15 years agopoll: allow f_op->poll to sleep
Tejun Heo [Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:40:59 +0000 (14:40 -0800)]
poll: allow f_op->poll to sleep

f_op->poll is the only vfs operation which is not allowed to sleep.  It's
because poll and select implementation used task state to synchronize
against wake ups, which doesn't have to be the case anymore as wait/wake
interface can now use custom wake up functions.  The non-sleep restriction
can be a bit tricky because ->poll is not called from an atomic context
and the result of accidentally sleeping in ->poll only shows up as
temporary busy looping when the timing is right or rather wrong.

This patch converts poll/select to use custom wake up function and use
separate triggered variable to synchronize against wake up events.  The
only added overhead is an extra function call during wake up and
negligible.

This patch removes the one non-sleep exception from vfs locking rules and
is beneficial to userland filesystem implementations like FUSE, 9p or
peculiar fs like spufs as it's very difficult for those to implement
non-sleeping poll method.

While at it, make the following cosmetic changes to make poll.h and
select.c checkpatch friendly.

* s/type * symbol/type *symbol/    : three places in poll.h
* remove blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL() : two places in select.c

scripts: script from kerneloops.org to pretty print oops dumps

We're struggling all the time to figure out where the code came from that
oopsed..  The script below (a adaption from a script used by
kerneloops.org) can help developers quite a bit, at least for non-module
cases.

It works and looks like this:

[/home/arjan/linux]$ dmesg | perl scripts/markup_oops.pl vmlinux
 {
  struct agp_memory *memory;

  memory = agp_allocate_memory(agp_bridge, pg_count, type);
 c055c10f: 89 c2                 mov    %eax,%edx
  if (memory == NULL)
 c055c111: 74 19                 je     c055c12c <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x30>
 /* This function must only be called when current_controller != NULL */
 static void agp_insert_into_pool(struct agp_memory * temp)
 {
  struct agp_memory *prev;

  prev = agp_fe.current_controller->pool;
 c055c113: a1 ec dc 8f c0        mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
*c055c118: 8b 40 10              mov    0x10(%eax),%eax     <----- faulting instruction

  if (prev != NULL) {
 c055c11b: 85 c0                 test   %eax,%eax
 c055c11d: 74 05                 je     c055c124 <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x28>
  prev->prev = temp;
 c055c11f: 89 50 04              mov    %edx,0x4(%eax)
  temp->next = prev;
 c055c122: 89 02                 mov    %eax,(%edx)
  }
  agp_fe.current_controller->pool = temp;
 c055c124: a1 ec dc 8f c0        mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
 c055c129: 89 50 10              mov    %edx,0x10(%eax)
  if (memory == NULL)
  return NULL;

  agp_insert_into_pool(memory);

so in this case, we faulted while dereferencing agp_fe.current_controller
pointer, and we get to see exactly which function and line it affects...
Personally I find this very useful, and I can see value for having this
script in the kernel for more-than-just-me to use.

Caveats:
* It only works for oopses not-in-modules
* It only works nicely for kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
* It's not very fast.
* It only works on x86
