* [PATCH] sched: tidy up left over smpnice codePeter Williams2007-08-021-15/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. The only place that RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() is used is in the call to move_tasks() in the function active_load_balance() and its purpose here is just to make sure that the load to be moved is big enough to ensure that exactly one task is moved (if there's one available). This can be accomplished by using ULONG_MAX instead and this allows RTPRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted. 2. This, in turn, allows PRIO_TO_LOAD_WEIGHT() to be deleted. 3. This allows load_weight() to be deleted which allows TIME_SLICE_NICE_ZERO to be deleted along with the comment above it.

* genirq: temporary fix for level-triggered IRQ resendThomas Gleixner2007-08-011-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Marcin Slusarz reported a ne2k-pci "hung network interface" regression. delayed disable relies on the ability to re-trigger the interrupt in the case that a real interrupt happens after the software disable was set. In this case we actually disable the interrupt on the hardware level _after_ it occurred. On enable_irq, we need to re-trigger the interrupt. On i386 this relies on a hardware resend mechanism (send_IPI_self()). Actually we only need the resend for edge type interrupts. Level type interrupts come back once enable_irq() re-enables the interrupt line. I assume that the interrupt in question is level triggered because it is shared and above the legacy irqs 0-15: 17: 12 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth1, eth0 Looking into the IO_APIC code, the resend via send_IPI_self() happens unconditionally. So the resend is done for level and edge interrupts. This makes the problem more mysterious. The code in question lib8390.c does disable_irq(); fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware() enable_irq(); The fiddle_with_the_network_card_hardware() might cause interrupts, which are cleared in the same code path again, Marcin found that when he disables the irq line on the hardware level (removing the delayed disable) the card is kept alive. So the difference is that we can get a resend on enable_irq, when an interrupt happens during the time, where we are in the disabled region.

* Fix a use after free bug in kernel->userspace relay file supportJesper Juhl2007-07-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable after it has been freed. The problem is in kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf() If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code : free_buf: relay_destroy_buf(buf); <--- calls kfree() on 'buf'. free_name: kfree(tmpname); end: return buf; <-- use after free of 'buf'. I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to me). The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the problem. The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while I was at it. Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

* kthread: silence bogus section mismatch warningSatyam Sharma2007-07-311-10/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x16910): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'kthreadd' and 'init_waitqueue_head') comes because kernel/kthread.c:kthreadd() is not __init but calls kthreadd_setup() which is __init. But this is ok, because kthreadd_setup() is only ever called at init time, and then kthreadd() proceeds into its "for (;;)" loop. We could mark kthreadd __init_refok, but kthreadd_setup() with just one callsite and 4 lines in it (it's been that small since 10ab825bdef8df51) doesn't need to be a separate function at all -- so let's just move those four lines at beginning of kthreadd() itself.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND representing the ability to enter system sleep states, such as the ACPI S3 state, and allow the user to choose SUSPEND and HIBERNATION independently of each other. Make HOTPLUG_CPU be selected automatically if SUSPEND or HIBERNATION has been chosen and the kernel is intended for SMP systems. Also, introduce CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which is automatically selected if CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set and use it to select the code needed for both suspend and hibernation. The top-level power management headers and the ACPI code related to suspend and hibernation are modified to use the new definitions (the changes in drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c are, mostly, moving code to reduce the number of ifdefs). There are many other files in which CONFIG_PM can be replaced with CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or even with CONFIG_SUSPEND, but they can be updated in the future. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

IOW, this restores the original semantics for 'xtime' users, as long as you use the proper abstraction functions (ie 'current_kernel_time()' or 'get_seconds()' depending on whether you want a timespec or just the seconds field).

Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

I must admit my stupidity - I assumed that avc_audit() really couldn't use audit_log_d_path() because of deadlocks (== could be called with dcache_lock or vfsmount_lock held). Shouldn't have made that assumption - it never gets called that way. It _is_ called under spinlocks, but not those. Since audit_log_d_path() uses ab->gfp_mask for allocations, kmalloc() in there is not a problem. IOW, the simple fix is sufficient: let's rip AUDIT_AVC_PATH out and simply generate pathname as part of main record. It's trivial to do.

A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace) Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the following: main() { while (1) if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0; } This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this. Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old 'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i386 and sparc64 have the identical code to update the cmos clock. Move it into kernel/time/ntp.c as there are other architectures coming along with the same requirements.

* tick management: spread timer interruptjohn stultz2007-07-211-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | After discussing w/ Thomas over IRC, it seems the issue is the sched tick fires on every cpu at the same time, causing extra lock contention. This smaller change, adds an extra offset per cpu so the ticks don't line up. This patch also drops the idle latency from 40us down to under 20us.

* clockevents: fix device replacementThomas Gleixner2007-07-211-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | When a device is replaced by a better rated device, then the broadcast mode needs to be evaluated again. When the new device has no requirement for broadcasting, then the broadcast bits for the CPU must be cleared.

* clockevents: fix resume logicThomas Gleixner2007-07-212-8/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to make sure, that the clockevent devices are resumed, before the tick is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this. Add CLOCK_EVT_MODE_RESUME and call the set mode functions of the clock event devices before resuming the tick / oneshot functionality. Fixup the existing users. Thanks to Nigel Cunningham for tracking down a long standing thinko, which affected the jinxed VAIO.

* Revert "sys_time() speedup"Linus Torvalds2007-07-201-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This basically reverts commit 4e44f3497d41db4c3b9051c61410dee8ae4fb49c, while waiting for it to be re-done more completely. There are cases of people mixing "time()" with higher-resolution time sources, and we need to take the nanosecond offsets into account. Ingo has a patch that does that, but it's still under some discussion. In the meantime, just revert back to the old simple situation of just doing the whole exact timesource calculations. But rather than using do_gettimeofday(), use the internal nanosecond resolution getnstimeofday(), which at least avoids one unnecessary conversion (since we really don't care about whether the fractional seconds are nanoseconds or microseconds - we'll just throw them away).
