2008-11-23tracing: identify which executable object the userspace address belongs toTörök Edwin
Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map, but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is unlikely. Example usage: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace& .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled cat /tmp/trace You'll see stack entries like: /lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370] You can convert them to function/line using: addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370 Or: addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370 For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work: a.out[+0x73b] You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b (where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out) Signed-off-by: Török Edwin <edwintorok@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-23tracing: add support for userspace stacktraces in tracing/iter_ctrlTörök Edwin
Impact: add new (default-off) tracing visualization feature Usage example: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl echo sched_switch >current_tracer echo 1 >tracing_enabled .... run application ... echo 0 >tracing_enabled Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'. To get the best output you can compile your userspace programs with frame pointers (at least glibc + the app you are tracing).

Impact: makes device isolation the default for AMD IOMMU Some device drivers showed double-free bugs of DMA memory while testing them with AMD IOMMU.

2008-11-16tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE()Mathieu Desnoyers
Impact: API *CHANGE*. Must update all tracepoint users. Add DEFINE_TRACE() to tracepoints to let them declare the tracepoint structure in a single spot for all the kernel. It helps reducing memory consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for kmalloc tracing. *API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way to do it. The name previously used was misleading. Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.

2008-11-16markers: create DEFINE_MARKER and GET_MARKER (new API)Mathieu Desnoyers
Impact: new API. Allow markers to be used only for declaration, without function call associated. Useful to create specialized probes. The problem we had is that two function calls were required when one wanted to put a marker in a tracepoint probe. Now the marker can be used simply for trace data type declaration, leaving the trace write work within the tracepoint probe without any additional function call.

2008-11-13ftrace: rename iter_ctrl to trace_optionsSteven Rostedt
Impact: rename file /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl to /debug/tracing/trace_options The original ftrace had a file called "iter_ctrl" that would control the way the output was iterated. But this file grew into a catch all for different trace options. This patch renames the file from iter_ctrl to trace_options to reflect this change.

2008-11-13ftrace: show buffer size in kilobytesSteven Rostedt
Impact: change the units of buffer_size_kb to kilobytes This patch changes the units of the buffer_size_kb file to kilobytes. Reading and writing to the file uses kilobytes as units. To help users to know what units are used, the output of the file now looks like: # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 1408 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-13ftrace: rename trace_entries to buffer_size_kbSteven Rostedt
Impact: rename of debugfs file trace_entries to buffer_size_kb The original ftrace had fixed size entries, and the number of entries was shown and modified via the file called trace_entries. By converting to the unified trace buffer, we now allow for variable size entries which makes the meaning of trace_entries pointless. Since trace_size might be confused to the size of the trace, this patch names it "buffer_size_kb" (thanks to Arjan van de Ven for this idea). [ mingo@elte.hu: changed from buffer_size to buffer_size_kb ] ( Note, the units are still bytes - the next patch changes that, to keep the wide rename patch separate from the unit-change patch. ) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-12LIS3LV02Dx Accelerometer driverPavel Machek
This adds a driver to the accelerometer sensor found in several HP laptops (under the commercial names of "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" and "HP 3D driveguard"). It tries to have more or less the same interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as a joystick. This driver was first written by Yan Burman. Eric Piel has updated it and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for now). Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from semaphore to mutex. Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.

2008-11-12freezer_cg: disable writing freezer.state of root cgroupLi Zefan
With this change, control file 'freezer.state' doesn't exist in root cgroup, making root cgroup unfreezable. I think it's reasonable to disallow freeze tasks in the root cgroup. And then we can avoid fork overhead when freezer subsystem is compiled but not used. Also make writing invalid value to freezer.state returns EINVAL rather than EIO. This is more consistent with other cgroup subsystem.

Commit d0fc2eaaf4c56a95f5ed29b6bfb609e19714fc16 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from booting-without-of.txt into separate files.

Some of the bindings removed from booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in dts-bindings were kept as well.

2008-11-07ACPI video: if no ACPI backlight support, use vendor driversThomas Renninger
If an ACPI graphics device supports backlight brightness functions (cmp. with latest ACPI spec Appendix B), let the ACPI video driver control backlight and switch backlight control off in vendor specific ACPI drivers (asus_acpi, thinkpad_acpi, eeepc, fujitsu_laptop, msi_laptop, sony_laptop, acer-wmi). Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the brightness HW registers, the video and vendor specific ACPI drivers -> bad. This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up patches.

2008-11-06fat: Fix ATTR_RO for directoryOGAWA Hirofumi
FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by Explorer. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).
