2009-09-24exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipesNeil Horman
Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl. Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem, we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the system simply by running bad applications. If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system. This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption. core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel, dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log. A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may be handled (this is the default value).

2009-09-24memory controller: soft limit documentationBalbir Singh
Soft limits is a new feature for the memory resource controller, something similar has existed in the group scheduler in the form of shares. The CPU controllers interpretation of shares is very different though. Soft limits are the most useful feature to have for environments where the administrator wants to overcommit the system, such that only on memory contention do the limits become active. The current soft limits implementation provides a soft_limit_in_bytes interface for the memory controller and not for memory+swap controller. The implementation maintains an RB-Tree of groups that exceed their soft limit and starts reclaiming from the group that exceeds this limit by the maximum amount.

2009-09-24memcg: remove the overhead associated with the root cgroupBalbir Singh
Change the memory cgroup to remove the overhead associated with accounting all pages in the root cgroup. As a side-effect, we can no longer set a memory hard limit in the root cgroup. A new flag to track whether the page has been accounted or not has been added as well. Flags are now set atomically for page_cgroup, pcg_default_flags is now obsolete and removed.

2009-09-24cgroups: let ss->can_attach and ss->attach do whole threadgroups at a timeBen Blum
Alter the ss->can_attach and ss->attach functions to be able to deal with a whole threadgroup at a time, for use in cgroup_attach_proc. (This is a pre-patch to cgroup-procs-writable.patch.) Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader. No subsystem currently needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right information.

2009-09-24cgroups: support named cgroups hierarchiesPaul Menage
To simplify referring to cgroup hierarchies in mount statements, and to allow disambiguation in the presence of empty hierarchies and multiply-bindable subsystems this patch adds support for naming a new cgroup hierarchy via the "name=" mount option A pre-existing hierarchy may be specified by either name or by subsystems; a hierarchy's name cannot be changed by a remount operation. Example usage: # To create a hierarchy called "foo" containing the "cpu" subsystem mount -t cgroup -oname=foo,cpu cgroup /mnt/cgroup1 # To mount the "foo" hierarchy on a second location mount -t cgroup -oname=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup2 Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-09-23matroxfb: make CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y mandatoryJean Delvare
I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just always enable it. There are many reasons for doing this: * CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it definitely works or we would know by now. * Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set results in the following build warning: drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open': drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true' drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release': drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true' This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build warnings are still annoying. * The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD, which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't load the same kernel module more than once. * I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says. A few extra parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access. * The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%. * One less configuration option makes things simpler. We add options all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice. It improves testing coverage. And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings. * We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after this change (patches follow.)

2009-09-23gpiolib: allow poll() on valueDaniel Glöckner
Many gpio chips allow to generate interrupts when the value of a pin changes. This patch gives usermode application the opportunity to make use of this feature by calling poll(2) on the /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value sysfs file. The edge to trigger can be set in the edge file in the same directory. Possible values are "none", "rising", "falling", and "both". Using level triggers is not possible with current sysfs since nothing changes the GPIO value (and the IRQ keeps triggering). Edge triggering will "just work". Note that if there was an event between read() and poll(), the poll() returns immediately. Also note that this version only supports true GPIO interrupts. Some later patch might be able to synthesize this behavior by timer-driven polling; some systems seem to need that.

2009-09-23gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs linksJani Nikula
Commit 926b663ce8215ba448960e1ff6e58b67a2c3b99b (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per GPIO basis.

2009-09-23rtc: add boot_timesource sysfs attributeMatthew Garrett
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS allows the kernel to read the system time from the RTC at boot and resume, avoiding the need for userspace to do so. Unfortunately userspace currently has no way to know whether this configuration option is enabled and thus cannot sensibly choose whether to run hwclock itself or not. Add a hctosys sysfs attribute which indicates whether a given RTC set the system clock.

2009-09-23procfs: provide stack information for threadsStefani Seibold
A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage, especially for embedded linux. Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads. There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage. A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like: 08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 0804a000-0806b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] a7d12000-a7d13000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7d13000-a7f13000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [thread stack: 001ff4b4] a7f13000-a7f14000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f14000-a7f36000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f36000-a8069000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a8069000-a806b000 r--p 00133000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806b000-a806c000 rw-p 00135000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806c000-a806f000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a806f000-a8083000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8083000-a8084000 r--p 00013000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8084000-a8085000 rw-p 00014000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8085000-a8088000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a8088000-a80a4000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a4000-a80a5000 r--p 0001b000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a5000-a80a6000 rw-p 0001c000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 afaf5000-afb0a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status which will you give the current stack usage in kb. A sample output of /proc/self/status looks like: Name: cat State: R (running) Tgid: 507 Pid: 507 . . . CapBnd: fffffffffffffeff voluntary_ctxt_switches: 0 nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 0 Stack usage: 12 kB I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main process.
