It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the initramfs. For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the initramfs, this is invaluable: When building embedded application initramfs images, its nice to know when the files were actually created during the build process - that makes it easier to see what files were modified when so we can compare the files that are being used on the image with the files used during the build process. This might help (for example) to determine if the target system has all the updated files you expect to see w/o having to check MD5s etc. In our environment, the whole system runs off the initramfs partition, and seeing the modified times of the shared libraries (for example) helps us find bugs that may have been introduced by the build system incorrectly propogating outdated shared libraries into the image. Similarly, many of the initializion/configuration files in /etc might be dynamically built by the build system, and knowing when they were modified helps us sanity check whether the target system has the "latest" files etc. Finally, we might use last modified times to determine whether a hot fix should be applied or not to the running ramfs.

Using "def_bool n" is pointless, simply using bool here appears more appropriate. Further, retaining such options that don't have a prompt and aren't selected by anything seems also at least questionable. Signed-off-by:

is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits. Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry() and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async. This has a few problems. * No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait() functions, so the code path never gets executed. * The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p and poll/select. * Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how @wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API. * It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good reason. This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths, this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks atomic. This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated. parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol() to get meaningful initcall_debug output. Signed-off-by:

identify_ramdisk_image() returns 0 (not -1) if a gzipped ramdisk is found: if (buf[0] == 037 && ((buf[1] == 0213) || (buf[1] == 0236))) { printk(KERN_NOTICE "RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block %d\n", start_block); nblocks = 0; ^^^^^^^^^^^ goto done; } ... done: sys_lseek(fd, start_block * BLOCK_SIZE, 0); kfree(buf); return nblocks; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hence correct the typo in the comment, which has existed since the addition of compressed ramdisk support in 1.3.48.

We currently use a PM notifier to disable user mode helpers before suspend and hibernation and to re-enable them during resume. However, this is not an ideal solution, because if any drivers want to upload firmware into memory before suspend, they have to use a PM notifier for this purpose and there is no guarantee that the ordering of PM notifiers will be as expected (ie. the notifier that disables user mode helpers has to be run after the driver's notifier used for uploading the firmware). For this reason, it seems better to move the disabling and enabling of user mode helpers to separate functions that will be called by the PM core as necessary.

There are off-by-one errors in decompress_exec() when calculating the length of optional "original file name" and "comment" fields: the "ret" index is not incremented when terminating '\0' character is reached. The check of the buffer overflow (after an "extra-field" length was taken into account) is also fixed. I've encountered this off-by-one error when tried to reuse gzip-header-parsing part of the decompress_exec() function. There was an "original file name" field in the payload (with miscalculated length) and zlib_inflate() returned Z_DATA_ERROR. But after the fix similar to this one all worked fine. Signed-off-by:

David Gibson authored
The page fault path for normal pages, if the fault is neither a no-page fault nor a write-protect fault, will update the DIRTY and ACCESSED bits in the page table appropriately. The hugepage fault path, however, does not do this, handling only no-page or write-protect type faults. It assumes that either the ACCESSED and DIRTY bits are irrelevant for hugepages (usually true, since they are never swapped) or that they are handled by the arch code. This is inconvenient for some software-loaded TLB architectures, where the _PAGE_ACCESSED (_PAGE_DIRTY) bits need to be set to enable read (write) access to the page at the TLB miss. This could be worked around in the arch TLB miss code, but the TLB miss fast path can be made simple more easily if the hugetlb_fault() path handles this, as the normal page fault path does.

A series of patches introduce a generic header file for the software IO/TLB implementation in lib/swiotlb.c. Currently each architecture using this code defines the prototypes itself. The prototypes are moved to include/linux/swiotlb.h and this file is included in architecture specific code for X86 and IA64. This patch: Create include/linux/swiotlb.h file which contains all function prototypes for the lib/swiotlb.c file. (akpm: the dependent patches will be trickled through arch trees) Signed-off-by:

When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just break out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing the xfs-internal read-only flag. This will only show up on some operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS which thinks this filesystem is r/w. Eventually we should replace the XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to make sure they can never get out of sync. Bug reported and fix verified by Marcel Beister on #xfs. Bug fix verified by updated xfstests/189. Signed-off-by:
