2009-06-29kmemleak: Inform kmemleak about pid_hashCatalin Marinas
Kmemleak does not track alloc_bootmem calls but the pid_hash allocated in pidhash_init() would need to be scanned as it contains pointers to struct pid objects. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-06-29kmemleak: Do not warn if an unknown object is freedCatalin Marinas
vmap'ed memory blocks are not tracked by kmemleak (yet) but they may be released with vfree() which is tracked. The corresponding kmemleak warning is only enabled in debug mode. Future patch will add support for ioremap and vmap. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-06-29kmemleak: Do not report new leaked objects if the scanning was stoppedCatalin Marinas
If the scanning was stopped with a signal, it is possible that some objects are left with a white colour (potential leaks) and reported. Add a check to avoid reporting such objects. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-06-26kmemleak: Slightly change the policy on newly allocated objectsCatalin Marinas
Newly allocated objects are more likely to be reported as false positives. Kmemleak ignores the reporting of objects younger than 5 seconds. However, this age was calculated after the memory scanning completed which usually takes longer than 5 seconds. This patch make the minimum object age calculation in relation to the start of the memory scanning. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-06-26kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak fileCatalin Marinas
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now). Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-06-26kmemleak: Simplify the reports logged by the scanning threadCatalin Marinas
Because of false positives, the memory scanning thread may print too much information. This patch changes the scanning thread to only print the number of newly suspected leaks. Further information can be read from the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This is to reduce the number of false positives reported. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-06-25kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.Catalin Marinas
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

2009-06-24Revert "PCI: use ACPI _CRS data by default"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 9e9f46c44e487af0a82eb61b624553e2f7118f5b. Quoting from the commit message: "At this point, it seems to solve more problems than it causes, so let's try using it by default. It's an easy revert if it ends up causing trouble." And guess what? The _CRS code causes trouble. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-06-24audit: inode watches depend on CONFIG_AUDIT not CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALLEric Paris
Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled. Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was before cfcad62c74abfef83762dc05a556d21bdf3980a2 Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

2009-06-24futex: Fix the write access fault problem for realThomas Gleixner
commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write access faults. The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

2009-06-24SLUB: Don't pass __GFP_FAIL for the initial allocationPekka Enberg

2009-06-24Don't warn about order-1 allocations with __GFP_NOFAILLinus Torvalds
Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any __GFP_NOFAIL flags), and slab will allocate order-1 allocations even for small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid excessive fragmentation). Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

2009-06-24Staging: octeon-ethernet: Fix race freeing transmit buffers.David Daney
The existing code had the following race: Thread-1 Thread-2 inc/read in_use inc/read in_use inc tx_free_list[qos].len inc tx_free_list[qos].len The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets). If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream. The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location (a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync with itself. We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time. If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference. The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot claim the same buffers. Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2009-06-24MIPS: SMP: Allow suspend and hibernation if CPU hotplug is availableRalf Baechle
The SMP implementation of suspend and hibernate depends on CPU hotplugging. In the past we didn't have CPU hotplug so suspend and hibernation were not possible on SMP systems. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2009-06-24MIPS: Add arch generic CPU hotplugRalf Baechle
Each platform has to add support for CPU hotplugging itself by providing suitable definitions for the cpu_disable and cpu_die of the smp_ops methods and setting SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU. A platform should only set SYS_SUPPORTS_HOTPLUG_CPU once all it's smp_ops definitions have the necessary changes.
