2009-03-29sched: fix errors in struct & function commentsRandy Dunlap
Fix kernel-doc errors in sched.c: the structs don't have kernel-doc notation and the short function description needs to be one line only. Error(kernel/sched.c:3197): cannot understand prototype: 'struct sd_lb_stats ' Error(kernel/sched.c:3228): cannot understand prototype: 'struct sg_lb_stats ' Error(kernel/sched.c:3375): duplicate section name 'Description' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-03-27vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-23posix timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()Oleg Nesterov
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911 copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers. This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu() is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed. The proper fix (I think) is: - set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp - posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed - fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires) Reported-by: Peter Lojkin <ia6432@inbox.ru> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> [for 2.6.29.x] LKML-Reference: <20090323193411.GA17514@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-23fix ptrace slownessMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

2009-03-17module: fix refptr allocation and release orderMasami Hiramatsu
Impact: fix ref-after-free crash on failed module load Fix refptr bug: Change refptr allocation and release order not to access a module data structure pointed by 'mod' after freeing mod->module_core. This bug will cause kernel panic(e.g. failed to find undefined symbols). This bug was reported on systemtap bugzilla. http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9927 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-03-17sched: small optimisation of can_migrate_task()Luis Henriques
There were 3 invocations of task_hot() in can_migrate_task(). Replace these 3 invocations by only one invocation, cached in a local variable. Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <henrix@sapo.pt> LKML-Reference: <20090316195902.GA6197@hades.domain.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-03-13genirq: deprecate __do_IRQThomas Gleixner
Two years migration time is enough. Remove the compability cruft. Add the deprecated warning in kernel/irq/handle.c because marking __do_IRQ itself is way too noisy. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-03-13genirq: use kzalloc instead of explicit zero initializationThomas Gleixner
Impact: simplification Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
2009-03-13genirq: remove redundant if conditionThomas Gleixner
Impact: cleanup The code is only compiled if CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS=y so another check for this define in the code is redundant. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-03-13futex: remove the pointer math from double_unlock_hb, fixIngo Molnar
Impact: fix double unlock crash Thomas Gleixner noticed that the simplified double_unlock_hb() became ... too unsophisticated: in the hb1 == hb2 case it will do a double unlock.

2009-03-13futex: remove the pointer math from double_unlock_hbDarren Hart
Impact: simplify code I mistakenly included the pointer value ordering in the double_unlock_hb() in my previous patch. It's only necessary in the double_lock_hb() function. This patch removes it.

2009-03-12irq: export remove_irq() and setup_irq() symbolsMagnus Damm
Export the setup_irq() and remove_irq() symbols. I'd like to export these functions since I have timer code that needs to use setup_irq() early on (too early for request_irq()), and the same code can also be compiled as a module.

2009-03-12irq: add remove_irq() for freeing of setup_irq() irqsMagnus Damm
Impact: add new API This patch adds a remove_irq() function for releasing interrupts requested with setup_irq(). Without this patch we have no way of releasing such interrupts since free_irq() today tries to kfree() the irqaction passed with setup_irq().
