2006-12-08[PATCH] s3c2410fb: Add support for STN displaysArnaud Patard (Rtp
This patch adds support for stn displays on the s3c2410 arm SoC. The LCD type is choosen by a new field in the s3c2410fb_mach_info structure and its value is the value of the PNRMODE bits. This worth to be noted as a value of 0 means that you configure a 4 bit dual scan stn display. Signed-off-by: Arnaud Patard <arnaud.patard@rtp-net.org> Cc: "Antonino A.

2006-12-08[PATCH] sysctl: simplify ipc ns specific sysctlsEric W. Biederman
Refactor the ipc sysctl support so that it is simpler, more readable, and prepares for fixing the bug with the wrong values being returned in the sys_sysctl interface. The function proc_do_ipc_string() was misnamed as it never handled strings. It's magic of when to work with strings and when to work with longs belonged in the sysctl table. I couldn't tell if the code would work if you disabled the ipc namespace but it certainly looked like it would have problems. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-08[PATCH] sysctl: implement sysctl_uts_string()Eric W. Biederman

2006-12-08[PATCH] sysctl: simplify sysctl_uts_stringEric W. Biederman
The binary interface to the namespace sysctls was never implemented resulting in some really weird things if you attempted to use sys_sysctl to read your hostname for example. This patch series simples the code a little and implements the binary sysctl interface. In testing this patch series I discovered that our 32bit compatibility for the binary sysctl interface is imperfect. In particular KERN_SHMMAX and KERN_SMMALL are size_t sized quantities and are returned as 8 bytes on to 32bit binaries using a x86_64 kernel. However this has existing for a long time so it is not a new regression with the namespace work. Gads the whole sysctl thing needs work before it stops being easy to shoot yourself in the foot. Looking forward a little bit we need a better way to handle sysctls and namespaces as our current technique will not work for the network namespace. I think something based on the current overlapping sysctl trees will work but the proc side needs to be redone before we can use it. This patch: Introduce get_uts() and put_uts() (used later) and remove most of the special cases for when UTS namespace is compiled in. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-08[PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filteringAkinobu Mita
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature. The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are interested in. For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call, but also indirect allocation, too. - e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone --> kmem_cache_alloc This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh helps it. The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be [/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text) So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

This patch provides fault-injection capability for kmalloc. Boot option: failslab=<interval>,<probability>,<space>,<times> <interval> -- specifies the interval of failures. <probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent. <space> -- specifies the size of free space where memory can be allocated safely in bytes. <times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most. Debugfs: /debug/failslab/interval /debug/failslab/probability /debug/failslab/specifies /debug/failslab/times /debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-highmem /debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-wait Example: failslab=10,100,0,-1 slab allocation (kmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc(),..) fails once per 10 times.

This patch provides base functions implement to fault-injection capabilities. - The function should_fail() is taken from failmalloc-1.0 (http://www.nongnu.org/failmalloc/) [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups, comments, add __init] Cc: <okuji@enbug.org> Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <dwm@meer.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
