2008-10-20Remove empty imacfb.c fileLinus Torvalds
Commit 7c08c9ae0c145807c0dae4a55f240fa3d4fd5262 ("efifb/imacfb consolidation + hardware support") claimed to remove imacfb entirely and merge its DMI table into the efifb driver. So far so good, but the diff actually ended up just generating an empty file instead of removing it. [ Technical reason: the patch header looked like diff -puN drivers/video/imacfb.c~efifb-imacfb-consolidation-hardware-support drivers/video/imacfb.c --- a/drivers/video/imacfb.c~efifb-imacfb-consolidation-hardware-support +++ a/drivers/video/imacfb.c @@ -1,376 +0,0 @@ which git will think is a truncation, not a delete.

2008-10-20x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attributeParag Warudkar
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at a time! This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config) and boot tested. akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

2008-10-20message queues: increase range limitsJoe Korty
Increase the range of various posix message queue limits. Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it needs to be. In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than 8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have the ability to post large numbers of very small messages. So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to, from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1. With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user. This patch also applies the values in /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these. Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively.

If applying this patch, makedumpfile will be able to take VMALLOC_START value from 'vmlist.addr'. vmcoreinfo[1]: The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile[2] uses it to distinguish unnecessary pages and creates a small dumpfile. makedumpfile[2]: dump filtering command https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-20always reserve elfcore header memory in crash kernelSimon Horman
elfcore header memory needs to be reserved in a crash kernel. This means that the relevant code should be protected by CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather than CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.

2008-10-20kdump: add is_vmcore_usable() and vmcore_unusable()Simon Horman
The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel. However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return 1. Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least confusion. This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code. To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows: ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-20kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCOREVivek Goyal
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table. So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup calgary iommu accordingly. o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files. (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file otherwise that would have been the best place). o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in second kernel without KEXEC being enabled. o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh. Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not broken on sh.

2008-10-20kthread_bind: use wait_task_inactive(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)Oleg Nesterov
Now that wait_task_inactive(task, state) checks task->state == state, we can simplify the code and make this debugging check more robust.

2008-10-20add CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERSRoland McGrath
This adds a kconfig option to change the /proc/PID/coredump_filter default. Fedora has been carrying a trivial patch to change the hard-wired value for this default, since Fedora 8. The default default can't change safely because there are old GDB versions out there (all before 6.7) that are confused by the core dump files created by the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS setting.

2008-10-20coredump: format_corename: don't append .%pid if multi-threadedOleg Nesterov
If the coredumping is multi-threaded, format_corename() appends .%pid to the corename. This was needed before the proper multi-thread core dump support, now all the threads in the mm go into a single unified core file. Remove this special case, it is not even documented and we have "%p" and core_uses_pid.
