The bd622663 commit broke the UCB1x00 touchscreen driver since the idev structure was assumed to be into the ts structure, simply casting the former to the later in a couple places. This patch fixes those, and also cache the idev pointer between multiple calls to input_report_abs() to avoid growing the compiled code needlessly. Signed-off-by:

When multiple probes are registered at the same address and if due to some recursion (probe getting triggered within a probe handler), we skip calling pre_handlers and just increment nmissed field. The below patch make sure it walks the list for multiple probes case. Without the below patch we get incorrect results of nmissed count for multiple probe case. Signed-off-by:

For Kprobes critical path is the path from debug break exception handler till the control reaches kprobes exception code. No probes can be supported in this path as we will end up in recursion. This patch prevents this by moving the below function to safe __kprobes section onto which no probes can be inserted. Signed-off-by:

The IPMI specifcation says the generator ID is 0x20, but that is for bits 7-1. Bit 0 is set to specify it is a software event. The correct value is 0x41. Without this fix, panic events written into the System Event Log appear to come from an "unknown" generator, rather than from the kernel. Signed-off-by:

John McCutchan authored
The below patch lets userspace have more control over the inodes that inotify will watch. It introduces two new flags. IN_ONLYDIR -- only watch the inode if it is a directory. This is needed to avoid the race that can occur when we want to be sure that we are watching a directory. IN_DONT_FOLLOW -- don't follow a symlink. In combination with IN_ONLYDIR we can make sure that we don't watch the target of symlinks. The issues the flags fix came up when writing the gnome-vfs inotify backend. Default behaviour is unchanged. Signed-off-by:John McCutchan <ttb@tentacle.dhs.org> Acked-by:

This undoes the put_disk patch I sent in before. If I had been paying attention I would have seen that we call put_disk from free_hba during driver unload. That's the only time we want to call it. If it's called from deregister disk we may remove the controller (cNd0) unintentionally. Signed-off-by:

When registering multiple kprobes at the same address, we leave a small window where the kprobe hlist will not contain a reference to the registered kprobe, leading to potentially, a system crash if the breakpoint is hit on another processor. Patch below now automically relpace the old kprobe with the new kprobe from the hash list. Signed-off-by:

This adds a timestamp field to the events sent via the process event connector. The timestamp allows listeners to accurately account the duration(s) between a process' events and offers strong means with which to determine the order of events with respect to a given task while also avoiding the addition of per-task data. This alters the size and layout of the event structure and hence would break compatibility if process events connector as it stands in 2.6.15-rc2 were released as a mainline kernel. Signed-off-by:

There are several functions that might seem appropriate for a timestamp: get_cycles() current_kernel_time() do_gettimeofday() <read jiffies/jiffies_64> Each has problems with combinations of SMP-safety, low resolution, and monotonicity. This patch adds a new function that returns a monotonic SMP-safe timestamp with nanosecond resolution where available. Changes: Split timestamp into separate patch Moved to kernel/time.c Renamed to getnstimestamp Fixed unintended-pointer-arithmetic bug Signed-off-by:

Commit f549d6c1 introduced a generic fallback for security xattrs, but appears to include a subtle bug. Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using 'cp'. cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then exits. However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour: llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0) = 17 llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of range) I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok :) This change solves the problem.

Accessing nohz_cpu_mask before incrementing rcp->cur is racy. It can cause tickless idle CPUs to be included in rsp->cpumask, which will extend graceperiods unnecessarily. Fix this race. It has been tested using extensions to RCU torture module that forces various CPUs to become idle. Signed-off-by:

While doing some test of RCU torture module, I hit a OOPS in rcu_do_batch, which was trying to processes callback of a module that was just removed. This is because we weren't waiting long enough for all callbacks to fire. Signed-off-by:

Dipankar Sarma authored
This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all the RCUs queued until this call have been completed. Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU callbacks are executed. The only change of reiser4 made to the original patch, is exporting of rcu_barrier(). Cc: Hans Reiser <reiser@namesys.com> Cc: Vladimir V. Saveliev <vs@namesys.com> Signed-off-by:

With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working. It appears the violation is the cpu_online check in nmi handler. local ACPI based NMI watchdog is initialized before we set CPU online for APs. It's quite possible a NMI is fired before we set CPU online, and that's what happens here. Signed-off-by:

When a Kprobes are inserted/removed on a modules, the modules must be ref counted so as not to allow to unload while probes are registered on that module. Without this patch, the probed module is free to unload, and when the probing module unregister the probe, the kpobes code while trying to replace the original instruction might crash. Signed-off-by:

The VM layer (for historical reasons) turns a read-only shared mmap into a private-like mapping with the VM_MAYWRITE bit clear. Thus checking just VM_SHARED isn't actually sufficient. So use a trivial helper function for the cases where we wanted to inquire if a mapping was COW-like or not. Moo! Signed-off-by: -

With the previous commit, we can handle arbitrary shared re-mappings even without this complexity, and since the only known private mappings are for strange users of /dev/mem (which never create an incomplete one), there seems to be no reason to support it. Signed-off-by: -
Linus Torvalds authored
A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has gone through COW or not. This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping" logic for the common case. Signed-off-by: -

ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy resolution. This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching X.org. Signed-Off-By:

On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error, copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm in question before flushing any existing SLB entries. Signed-off-by:

On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5. Signed-off-by:
