      copy_process: fix CLONE_PARENT && parent_exec_id interaction · 2d5516cb
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      CLONE_PARENT can fool the ->self_exec_id/parent_exec_id logic. If we
      re-use the old parent, we must also re-use ->parent_exec_id to make
      sure exit_notify() sees the right ->xxx_exec_id's when the CLONE_PARENT'ed
      task exits.
      
      Also, move down the "p->parent_exec_id = p->self_exec_id" thing, to place
      two different cases together.

      Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod." · 129f8ae9
      Dave Jones authored
      This reverts commit e088e4c9.
      
      Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
      regression in bug 12826.
      
      Course of action:
       - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
         if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
         If it isn't, we need to fix that.
       - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
       - try again with the removal in six months.
      
      It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
      it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
      a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

      Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systems · b9447ef8
      Chris Mason authored
      btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
      properly locked in a few places.  But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
      kernels.
      
      This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
      btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

      Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
      interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
      process context with interrupts enabled.
      
      So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
      
      Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
      happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
      greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of
      
      	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
      
      will be negative and the division performed by
      
      	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
      
      will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
      register.
      
      In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
      of the accounting values.
