2009-09-20thinkpad-acpi: drop HKEY event 0x5010Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
HKEY event 0x5010 is useless to us: old ThinkPads don't issue it. Newer ThinkPads won't issue it anymore. And all ThinkPads issue 0x1010 and 0x1011 events. Just silently drop it instead of sending it to userspace. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-20thinkpad-acpi: remove uneeded tp_features.hotkey tests in hotkey_exitHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
hotkey_exit() is only called if hotkey_init() finished sucessfully, or by direct calls inside hotkey_init(). The tp_features.hotkey test is always true, and just adds to the confusion, remove it. Also, avoid calling hotkey_mask_set() when it won't do anything useful. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-20thinkpad-acpi: don't leave ERR_PTR() pointers aroundHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
backlight_device_register returns ERR_PTR() in case of problems, and the current code would leave that ERR_PTR in ibm_backlight_device. The current code paths won't touch it in that situation, but that could change. Make sure to set ibm_backlight_device to NULL in the error path.

2009-09-19thinkpad-acpi: report brightness events when requiredHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Report KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP and KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN input events when the ThinkPad is in "passive brightness control" mode (because either we or ACPI video touched _BCL), and ACPI video is not processing these events by itself. This happens only on Lenovo ThinkPads with ACPI video support, when operating with the ACPI video driver in acpi_backlight=vendor mode. Issuing these events is the right thing to do, and will work around bugzilla #13368, if userspace is properly configured and actively handles these events. For other ThinkPads, and when ACPI video is handling brightness changes, thinkpad-acpi will continue NOT sending KEY_BRIGHTNESS* events by default.

echo "reset" > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey should do something non-useless, so instead of setting it to Fn+F2, Fn+F3, Fn+F5, set it to hotkey_recommended_mask.

2009-09-19thinkpad-acpi: deprecate hotkey_bios_maskHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Some analysis of the ACPI DSDTs shows that the HKEY pre-enabled mask is always 0x80c (FN+F3,FN+F4 and FN+F12), which are the hotkeys that the second gen of HKEY firmware supported (the first gen didn't report any hotkeys, the second reported these tree hotkeys but had no mask support, and the third added mask support). So, this is probably some sort of backwards compatibility with older versions of the IBM ThinkVantage suite. We have no use for that, and I know of exactly ZERO users of that attribute, anyway.

2009-09-08i915: disable interrupts before tearing down GEM stateLinus Torvalds
Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs) when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops turned out to be BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084 IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915] and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do i915_gem_idle() -> i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() -> i915_gem_cleanup_hws() -> dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL; but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference. And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt, and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is simply a silently hung machine. Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than after.

2009-09-05pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'Linus Torvalds
The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to worry about, not the pty layer itself. The total buffer space will still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size somehow. And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes as two single-byte writes. And if the first byte written (CR) then caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly failed the write - leading to a lost newline character. This should finally fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14015 Reported-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-09-05n_tty: do O_ONLCR translation as a single writeLinus Torvalds
When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as two tty_put_char() calls. Which works, but is stupid, and has caused problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic. The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example. Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc: "pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic"). So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write instead. That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test, which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering, it won't cause weeks of debugging.

2009-09-05exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutexOleg Nesterov
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read /proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since "mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec" 04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d commit in 2.6.31. But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC. The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(), another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the tracee resumes. With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and we do not hold it throughout, instead: - introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred. - install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(), and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop(). or, if exec fails, free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

2009-09-05page-allocator: always change pageblock ownership when anti-fragmentation is ↵Mel Gorman
disabled On low-memory systems, anti-fragmentation gets disabled as fragmentation cannot be avoided on a sufficiently large boundary to be worthwhile. Once disabled, there is a period of time when all the pageblocks are marked MOVABLE and the expectation is that they get marked UNMOVABLE at each call to __rmqueue_fallback(). However, when MAX_ORDER is large the pageblocks do not change ownership because the normal criteria are not met. This has the effect of prematurely breaking up too many large contiguous blocks. This is most serious on NOMMU systems which depend on high-order allocations to boot. This patch causes pageblocks to change ownership on every fallback when anti-fragmentation is disabled. This prevents the large blocks being prematurely broken up. This is a fix to commit 49255c619fbd482d704289b5eb2795f8e3b7ff2e [page allocator: move check for disabled anti-fragmentation out of fastpath] and the problem affects 2.6.31-rc8.

Fix the error handling in do_mmap_pgoff(). If do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() fail, we jump to the error_put_region label at which point we cann __put_nommu_region() on the region - but we haven't yet added the region to the tree, and so __put_nommu_region() may BUG because the region tree is empty or it may corrupt the region tree. To get around this, we can afford to add the region to the region tree before calling do_mmap_shared_file() or do_mmap_private() as we keep nommu_region_sem write-locked, so no-one can race with us by seeing a transient region.
