After examining what was checked in and the code base I discovered that most
of 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a wasn't necessary anymore....
So here's a patch that reverts the last part of that changeset:
Revert part of 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a.
The kernel has moved forward to a state where the original change is not
necessary. After porting forward, this final version of the patch was
applied and broke non-x86 architectures.

lib/ioremap.c is presently only built in if CONFIG_MMU is set. While this
is reasonable, platforms that support both CONFIG_MMU=y or n need to be
able to call in to this regardless.
As none of the current nommu platforms do anything special with ioremap(),
we assume that it's always successful.
This fixes the SH-4 build with CONFIG_MMU=n.

libata enables SCSI host during ATA host activation which happens
after IRQ handler is registered and IRQ is enabled. All ATA ports are
in frozen state when IRQ is enabled but frozen ports may raise limited
number of IRQs after being frozen - IOW, ->freeze() is not responsible
for clearing pending IRQs. During normal operation, the IRQ handler
is responsible for clearing spurious IRQs on frozen ports and it
usually doesn't require any extra code.
Unfortunately, during host initialization, the IRQ handler can end up
scheduling EH for a port whose SCSI host isn't initialized yet. This
results in OOPS in the SCSI midlayer. This is relatively short window
and scheduling EH for probing is the first thing libata does after
initialization, so ignoring EH scheduling until initialization is
complete solves the problem nicely.
This problem was spotted by Berck E. Nash in the following thread.

The intention of using port_mask in SFF init helpers was to eventually
support exoctic configurations such as combination of legacy and
native port on the same controller. This never became actually
necessary and the related code always has been subtly broken one way
or the other. Now that new init model is in place, there is no reason
to make common helpers capable of handling all corner cases. Exotic
cases can simply dealt within LLDs as necessary.
This patch removes port_mask handling in SFF init helpers. SFF init
helpers don't take n_ports argument and interpret it into port_mask
anymore. All information is carried via port_info. n_ports argument
is dropped and always two ports are allocated. LLD can tell SFF to
skip certain port by marking it dummy. Note that SFF code has been
treating unuvailable ports this way for a long time until recent
breakage fix from Linus and is consistent with how other drivers
handle with unavailable ports.
This fixes 1-port legacy host handling still broken after the recent
native mode fix and simplifies SFF init logic. The following changes
are made...
* ata_pci_init_native_host() and ata_init_legacy_host() both now try
to initialized whatever they can and mark failed ports dummy. They
return 0 if any port is successfully initialized.
* ata_pci_prepare_native_host() and ata_pci_init_one() now doesn't
take n_ports argument. All info should be specified via port_info
array. Always two ports are allocated.
* ata_pci_init_bmdma() exported to be used by LLDs in exotic cases.
* port_info handling in all LLDs are standardized - all port_info
arrays are const stack variable named ppi. Unless the second port
is different from the first, its port_info is specified as NULL
(tells libata that it's identical to the last non-NULL port_info).
* pata_hpt37x/hpt3x2n: don't modify static variable directly. Make an
on-stack copy instead as ata_piix does.
* pata_uli: It has 4 ports instead of 2. Don't use
ata_pci_prepare_native_host(). Allocate the host explicitly and use
init helpers. It's simple enough.

Reimplement suspend/resume support using sdev->manage_start_stop.
* Device suspend/resume is now SCSI layer's responsibility and the
code is simplified a lot.
* DPM is dropped. This also simplifies code a lot. Suspend/resume
status is port-wide now.
* ata_scsi_device_suspend/resume() and ata_dev_ready() removed.
* Resume now has to wait for disk to spin up before proceeding. I
couldn't find easy way out as libata is in EH waiting for the
disk to be ready and sd is waiting for EH to complete to issue
START_STOP.
* sdev->manage_start_stop is set to 1 in ata_scsi_slave_config().
This fixes spindown on shutdown and suspend-to-disk.

This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code,
in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd (hence
compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals the eventfd
fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd. This patch
uses a reserved for future use member of the struct iocb to pass an eventfd
file descriptor, that KAIO will use to post events every time a request
completes. At that point, an aio_getevents() will return the completed result
to a struct io_event. I made a quick test program to verify the patch, and it
runs fine here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c
The test program uses poll(2), but it'd, of course, work with select and epoll
too.
This can allow to schedule both block I/O and other poll-able devices
requests, and wait for results using select/poll/epoll. In a typical
scenario, an application would submit KAIO request using aio_submit(), and
will also use epoll_ctl() on the whole other class of devices (that with the
addition of signals, timers and user events, now it's pretty much complete),
and then would:
epoll_wait(...);
for_each_event {
if (curr_event_is_kaiofd) {
aio_getevents();
dispatch_aio_events();
} else {
dispatch_epoll_event();
}
}

This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event
wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel
(dispatch only). It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those
would simply be used to signal events. Their kernel overhead is much lower
than pipes, and they do not consume two fds. When used in the kernel, it can
offer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or
syslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations.
But more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness,
in a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible
with it. The API is:
int eventfd(unsigned int count);
The eventfd API accepts an initial "count" parameter, and returns an eventfd
fd. It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2).
The POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero.
The POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of "1" can be written to the
internal counter.
The POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected.
The write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless
O_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned).
But the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it's supposed to not sleep
during its operation.
The read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal
value to zero. If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened
on the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never
been retired - unlickely, but possible).
The write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current
counter. The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also.
On the kernel side, we have:
struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd);
int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n);
The eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd
(this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer).
The kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event
to userspace. The eventfd_signal() function can be called from any context.
An eventfd() simple test and bench is available here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-bench.c
This is the eventfd-based version of pipetest-4 (pipe(2) based):
http://www.xmailserver.org/pipetest-4.c
Not that performance matters much in the eventfd case, but eventfd-bench
shows almost as double as performance than pipetest-4.

This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though
file descriptors. This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX
poll(2), select(2) and read(2). As a consequence of supporting the Linux
f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too.
The system call is defined as:
int timerfd(int ufd, int clockid, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr);
The "ufd" parameter allows for re-use (re-programming) of an existing timerfd
w/out going through the close/open cycle (same as signalfd). If "ufd" is -1,
s new file descriptor will be created, otherwise the existing "ufd" will be
re-programmed.
The "clockid" parameter is either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The time
specified in the "utmr->it_value" parameter is the expiry time for the timer.
If the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set in "flags", this is an absolute time,
otherwise it's a relative time.
If the time specified in the "utmr->it_interval" is not zero (.tv_sec == 0,
tv_nsec == 0), this is the period at which the following ticks should be
generated.
The "utmr->it_interval" should be set to zero if only one tick is requested.
Setting the "utmr->it_value" to zero will disable the timer, or will create a
timerfd without the timer enabled.
The function returns the new (or same, in case "ufd" is a valid timerfd
descriptor) file, or -1 in case of error.
As stated before, the timerfd file descriptor supports poll(2), select(2) and
epoll(2). When a timer event happened on the timerfd, a POLLIN mask will be
returned.
The read(2) call can be used, and it will return a u32 variable holding the
number of "ticks" that happened on the interface since the last call to
read(2). The read(2) call supportes the O_NONBLOCK flag too, and EAGAIN will
be returned if no ticks happened.

This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.
I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
kernel delivery in dequeue_signal(). If you want to reliably fetch signals on
the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK). This
seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine. I made a quick test
program for it:
http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c
The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
receiver. The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:
int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);
The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
to close/create cycle (Linus idea). Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
signalfd file.
The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
in. The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".
The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls. The poll(2)
will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued. As a direct
consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
used together with epoll(2) too.
The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
the userspace supplied buffer. The return value is the number of bytes copied
in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error. The read(2) call can also
return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
has been orphaned. The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.
If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned. A read from the signalfd can also
return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process. The format of the
struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
__SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:
struct signalfd_siginfo {
__u32 signo; /* si_signo */
__s32 err; /* si_errno */
__s32 code; /* si_code */
__u32 pid; /* si_pid */
__u32 uid; /* si_uid */
__s32 fd; /* si_fd */
__u32 tid; /* si_fd */

It's information that's easily outdated and easily mistaken for a driver

Some architectures, like powerpc, implement lazy disabling of interrupts.
That means that on those, local_irq_disable() doesn't actually disable
interrupts on the CPU, but only sets some per CPU flag which cause them to be
disabled only if an interrupt actually occurs.
However, in some cases, such as stop_machine, we really want interrupts to be
fully disabled. For example, I have code using stop machine to do ECC error
injection, used to verify operations of the ECC hardware, that sort of thing.
It really needs to make sure that nothing is actually writing to memory while
the injection happens. Similar examples can be found in other low level bits
and pieces.
This patch implements a generic hard_irq_disable() function which is meant to
be called -after- local_irq_disable() and ensures that interrupts are fully
disabled on that CPU. The default implementation is a nop, though powerpc
does already provide an appropriate one.

Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE
CompactFlash interface.
Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h.
This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper().
print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to
syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump
format.
hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of
output (16 bytes of input) at a time.
Example usages:
print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len);
hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf));
Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET:
0009ab42: 40414243 44454647 48494a4b 4c4d4e4f-@ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO
Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS:
ffffffff88089af0: 70717273 74757677 78797a7b 7c7d7e7f-pqrstuvw xyz{|}~.

If CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is defined, we update io accounting counters for
each task.
This patch permits reporting of values using the well known getrusage()
syscall, filling ru_inblock and ru_oublock instead of null values.
As TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING currently counts bytes counts, we approximate blocks
count doing : nr_blocks = nr_bytes / 512
Example of use :
----------------------
After patch is applied, /usr/bin/time command can now give a good
approximation of IO that the process had to do.
$ /usr/bin/time grep tototo /usr/include/*

to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they
didn't.
As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not
expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any
call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space
available.
As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value
when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly
assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be
certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use
bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before
making the real call.
So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one
generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made,
the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active
call completes.
As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to
worry about.
I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however,
some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These
include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a
recursive call to generic_make_request.
These could include:
- waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function.
md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before
completing a write) but doesn't any more
- inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might
change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good
reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it.
- inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I
think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said:
I can see nothing wrong with this in principle.
For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio
mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly
the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request().
My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch
will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code
more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished
patch is already several hundred lines long.)
It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test
this patch in various scenarios and report back.

Hi,
I have been working on some code that detects abnormal events based on audit
system events. One kind of event that we currently have no visibility for is
when a program terminates due to segfault - which should never happen on a
production machine. And if it did, you'd want to investigate it. Attached is a
patch that collects these events and sends them into the audit system.

When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security
context for each target process. Optimize the data collection by
adding a counter for signal-related rules, and avoiding allocating an
aux struct unless we have more than one target process. For process
groups, collect pid/context data in blocks of 16. Move the
audit_signal_info() hook up in check_kill_permission() so we audit
attempts where permission is denied.

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status. So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.
In fact, this is necessary because we can't tolerate a memory
allocation failure since that means we'd have to potentially
throw a link up event away.
It also simplifies the code greatly.
In doing so I discovered a subtle race condition in the use
of singleevent. This race condition still exists (and is
somewhat magnified) without singleevent but it's now plugged
thanks to an smp_mb__before_clear_bit.

We keep on getting "right shift count >= width of type" warnings when doing
things like
sector_t s;
x = s >> 56;
because with CONFIG_LBD=n, s is only 32-bit. Similar problems can occur with
dma_addr_t's.
So add a simple wrapper function which code can use to avoid this warning.
The above example would become
x = upper_32_bits(s) >> 24;

Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free
SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with
potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free
objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist
and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the
lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects.
If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the
regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the
lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in
terms of atomic operations that have to be performed.
We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are
running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects.
They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is
particular good for netperf.
In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the
hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined
into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and
freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB.
[I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to
read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is
someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems
that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is
due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB). I wonder if
this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?]
