2006-12-07Add "run_scheduled_work()" workqueue functionLinus Torvalds
This allows workqueue users to run just their own pending work, rather than wait for the whole workqueue to finish running. This solves the deadlock with networking libphy that was due to other workqueue entries possibly needing a lock that was held by the routine that wanted to flush its own work. It's not wonderful: if you absolutely need to synchronize with the work function having been executed, any user strictly speaking should have its own completion tracking logic, since when we run things explicitly by hand, the generic workqueue layer can no longer help us synchronize. Also, this is strictly only usable for work that has been scheduled without any delayed timers. You can not mix the new interface with schedule_delayed_work(). But it's better than what we had currently. Acked-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Fix BT long busyCorey Minyard
The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen during firmware upgrades and resets. The patch never returns the HOSED state, synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy. The subdriver now issues a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results. More informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts; this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers. Finally, indent and other style quirks were normalized.

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Add maintenance modeCorey Minyard
Some commands and operations on a BMC can cause the BMC to "go away" for a while. This can cause the automatic flag processing and other things of that nature to timeout and generate annoying logs, or possibly cause other bad things to happen when in firmware update mode. Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds. It also add a manual override either way.

Remove the ki_retried member from struct kiocb.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note codeMagnus Damm
The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

2006-12-07[PATCH] fs: reorder some 'struct inode' fields to speedup i_size manipulationsEric Dumazet
On 32bits SMP platforms, 64bits i_size is protected by a seqcount (i_size_seqcount). When i_size is read or written, i_size_seqcount is read/written as well, so it make sense to group these two fields together in the same cache line. This patch moves i_size_seqcount next to i_size, and also moves i_version to let offsetof(struct inode, i_size) being 0x40 instead of 0x3c (for 32bits platforms). For 64 bits platforms, i_size_seqcount doesnt exist, and the move of a 'long i_version' should not introduce a new hole because of padding.

2006-12-07[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

2006-12-07[PATCH] elf: Always define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.hMagnus Damm

2006-12-07[PATCH] Fix the size limit of compat space msgsizesuzuki
Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [ by copy_in_user]. This patch introduces helper routines for sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below: do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with the msqid and msgflg. do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to the buffer. The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the caller. These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace ( thus removing the size limt ) and the overhead of an extra copy_in_user().

2006-12-07[PATCH] ktime: Fix signed / unsigned mismatch in ktime_to_nsThomas Gleixner
The 32 bit implementation of ktime_to_ns returns unsigned value, while the 64 bit version correctly returns an signed value. There is no current user affected by this, but it has to be fixed, as ktime values can be negative.

Implement prof=sleep profiling. TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps will be taken as a profile hit, and every millisecond spent sleeping causes a profile-hit for the call site that initiated the sleep.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Exar quad port serialPaul B Schroeder
This is on our "Envoy" boxes which we have, according to the documentation, an "Exar ST16C554/554D Quad UART with 16-byte Fifo's". The box also has two other "on-board" serial ports and a modem chip. The two on-board serial UARTs were being detected along with the first two Exar UARTs. The last two Exar UARTs were not showing up and neither was the modem. This patch was the only way I could the kernel to see beyond the standard four serial ports and get all four of the Exar UARTs to show up.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Compile-time check re world-writeable module paramsAlexey Dobriyan
One of the mistakes a module_param() user can make is to supply default value of module parameter as the last argument. module_param() accepts permissions instead. If default value is, say, 3 (-------wx), parameter becomes world-writeable. So far, the only remedy was to apply grep(1) and read drivers submitted to -mm. BTDT. With this patch applied, compiler will finally do some job. *) bounds checking on permissions *) world-writeable bit checking on permissions *) compile breakage if checks trigger First version of this check (only "& 2" part) directly caught 4 out of 7 places during my last grep.
