Disabling gpe might interfere with gpe detection/handling,
thus producing "interrupt not handled" errors.
Ironically, disabling of GPE from interrupt context is already
under spinlock, so only userspace needs to start using it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace into tracing/urgent
|
|
Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added
Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop
recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also
be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the
ring buffers called:
tracing_on()
tracing_off()
When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record
into their buffers.
tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again.
These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the
number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called.
A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called
tracing_on
This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch.
echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
disables the tracing.
echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
enables it.
Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears
a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to
their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers.
The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled.
There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers:
tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers.
buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set
if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled.
cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an
anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if
an anomaly occurred.
The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with
tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel
called tracing_stop().
Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it.
It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit.
tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is
it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace
can reenable it at any time.
Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c
called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

This fixes hangs on 855-class hardware by avoiding double attachment of the
driver due to the stub second head device having the same pci id as the real
device.
Other DRM drivers probably want this treatment as well, but I'm applying it
just to this one for safety. But we should clean up the drm_pciids.h mess
now so that each driver has its own pci id list header in its own directory.
Lets do that in the next release.

under rq->lock
Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load
This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far.
Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be
called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This
means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just
check ->signal != NULL.
Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock)
before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under
task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care
about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK.
Thanks to Ingo who nacked my previous buggy patch.

This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.
43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c
e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806
2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e
Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.
The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.
So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

Impact: preserve user-modified affinities on interrupts

18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 (genirq: Expose default irq

overrides an already set affinity setting across a free /
request_irq(). Happens e.g. with ifdown/ifup of a network device.
Change the logic to mark the affinities as set and keep them
intact. This also fixes the unlocked access to irq_desc in
irq_select_affinity() when called from irq_affinity_proc_write()

Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.
This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.
Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.
For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

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.

This is a reimplemention of commit
0119509c4fbc9adcef1472817fda295334612976
from Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>
This patch got removed because of a regression: ThinkPads with a
Intel graphics card and an Integrated Graphics Device BIOS implementation
stopped working.
In fact, they only worked because the ACPI device of the discrete, the
wrong one, got used (via int10). So ACPI functions were poking on the wrong
hardware used which is a sever bug.
The next patch provides support for above ThinkPads to be able to
switch brightness via the legacy thinkpad_acpi driver and automatically
detect when to use it.
Original commit message from Matthew Garrett:
Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.
Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the
device creation if it doesn't.

Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument,
but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits.
On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes
the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler
discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was
called directly.

Remove CONFIG_ACPI_EC. It was always set the same as CONFIG_ACPI,
and it had no menu label, so there was no way to set it to anything
other than "y".
Per section 6.5.4 of the ACPI 3.0b specification,
OSPM must make Embedded Controller operation regions, accessed
via the Embedded Controllers described in ECDT, available before
executing any control method.
The ECDT table is optional, but if it is present, the above text
means that the EC it describes is a required part of the ACPI
subsystem, so CONFIG_ACPI_EC=n wouldn't make sense.

Impact: introduce new APIs
We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.
1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
(cpus_* -> cpumask_*)
2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
(cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)
3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
(cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)
4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.
5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
in future.
6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
(for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
definition eventually.
7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.
8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
taking a cpumask pointer.
Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition
patches.
