      linkage.h: fix build breakage due to symbol prefix handling · 126de6b2
      James Hogan authored
      Al's commit e1b5bb6d ("consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS
      declarations") broke the build on blackfin and metag due to the
      following code:
      
        #ifndef SYMBOL_NAME
        #ifdef CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
        #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ## x
        #else
        #define SYMBOL_NAME(x) x
        #endif
        #endif
        #define __SYMBOL_NAME(x) __stringify(SYMBOL_NAME(x))
      
      __stringify literally stringifies CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX ##x, so you get
      lines like this in kernel/sys_ni.s:
      
        .weak CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl
        .set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_quotactl,CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIXsys_ni_syscall
      
      The patches in Rusty's modules-next tree such as "CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX:
      cleanup." cleans up the whole mess around symbol prefixes, so this patch
      just attempts to fix the build in the meantime.
      
      The intermediate definition of SYMBOL_NAME above isn't used and is
      incorrect when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined as CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX
      is a quoted string literal, so define __SYMBOL_NAME directly depending
      on CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX.

      af_unix: fix a fatal race with bit fields · 60bc851a
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Using bit fields is dangerous on ppc64/sparc64, as the compiler [1]
      uses 64bit instructions to manipulate them.
      If the 64bit word includes any atomic_t or spinlock_t, we can lose
      critical concurrent changes.
      
      This is happening in af_unix, where unix_sk(sk)->gc_candidate/
      gc_maybe_cycle/lock share the same 64bit word.
      
      This leads to fatal deadlock, as one/several cpus spin forever
      on a spinlock that will never be available again.
      
      A safer way would be to use a long to store flags.
      This way we are sure compiler/arch wont do bad things.
      
      As we own unix_gc_lock spinlock when clearing or setting bits,
      we can use the non atomic __set_bit()/__clear_bit().
      
      recursion_level can share the same 64bit location with the spinlock,
      as it is set only with this spinlock held.

      bnx2x: correct reading of speed capabilities · b0261926
      Yaniv Rosner authored
      When the bnx2x driver reads the port configuration - mask irrelevant bits.
      
      Without this change, the unintended bits may cause the driver to needlessly
      toggle the link, as a comparison in the link flap avoidance flow will show
      that the old link did not advertise the same capabilities and thus cannot
      be retained.

      This resulted from my commit ca99ca14 which introduced a mutex_trylock
      operation in a path that could execute in interrupt context.  When mutex
      debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact
      exectuting in interrupt context
      interrupt context.
      
      After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use
      here.  While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such
      condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api
      calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).

      that just returns non-zero.
      
      In fact, according to Linus, it shouldn't print at all.  As it only
      prints with initcall_debug set, and that already shows enough
      information to fix things.

      Merge branch 'ipc-scalability' · 823e75f7
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge IPC cleanup and scalability patches from Andrew Morton.
      
      This cleans up many of the oddities in the IPC code, uses the list
      iterator helpers, splits out locking and adds per-semaphore locks for
      greater scalability of the IPC semaphore code.
      
      Most normal user-level locking by now uses futexes (ie pthreads, but
      also a lot of specialized locks), but SysV IPC semaphores are apparently
      still used in some big applications, either for portability reasons, or
      because they offer tracking and undo (and you don't need to have a
      special shared memory area for them).
      
      Our IPC semaphore scalability was pitiful.  We used to lock much too big
      ranges, and we used to have a single ipc lock per ipc semaphore array.
      Most loads never cared, but some do.  There are some numbers in the
      individual commits.
      
      * ipc-scalability:
        ipc: sysv shared memory limited to 8TiB
        ipc/msg.c: use list_for_each_entry_[safe] for list traversing
        ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop

      ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop · 6062a8dc
      Rik van Riel authored
      Introduce finer grained locking for semtimedop, to handle the common case
      of a program wanting to manipulate one semaphore from an array with
      multiple semaphores.
      
      If the call is a semop manipulating just one semaphore in an array with
      multiple semaphores, only take the lock for that semaphore itself.
      
      If the call needs to manipulate multiple semaphores, or another caller is
      in a transaction that manipulates multiple semaphores, the sem_array lock
      is taken, as well as all the locks for the individual semaphores.
      
      On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
      test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:

      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Instead of holding the ipc lock for permissions and security checks, among
      others, only acquire it when necessary.
      
      Some numbers....
      
      1) With Rik's semop-multi.c microbenchmark we can see the following
         results:
      
      Baseline (3.9-rc1):
      cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
      total operations: 151452270, ops/sec 5048409

      +   2.06%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
      +   1.86%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] ipc_lock
      
      With this patchset:
      cpus 4, threads: 256, semaphores: 128, test duration: 30 secs
      total operations: 273156400, ops/sec 9105213
      
      +  18.54%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock
      +  11.72%            a.out  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sys_semtimedop

      2) While on an Oracle swingbench DSS (data mining) workload the
         improvements are not as exciting as with Rik's benchmark, we can see
         some positive numbers.  For an 8 socket machine the following are the
         percentages of %sys time incurred in the ipc lock:
      
      Baseline (3.9-rc1):
      100 swingbench users: 8,74%
      400 swingbench users: 21,86%
      800 swingbench users: 84,35%
      
      With this patchset:
      100 swingbench users: 8,11%
      400 swingbench users: 19,93%
      800 swingbench users: 77,69%

      Introduce analogous ipc_obtain_object() and ipc_obtain_object_check()
      functions that only lookup and return the ipc object.
      
      Both these functions must be called within the RCU read critical section.

      ipc: remove bogus lock comment for ipc_checkid · 7bb4deff
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      This series makes the sysv semaphore code more scalable, by reducing the
      time the semaphore lock is held, and making the locking more scalable for
      semaphore arrays with multiple semaphores.
      
      The first four patches were written by Davidlohr Buesso, and reduce the
      hold time of the semaphore lock.
      
      The last three patches change the sysv semaphore code locking to be more
      fine grained, providing a performance boost when multiple semaphores in a
      semaphore array are being manipulated simultaneously.
      
      On a 24 CPU system, performance numbers with the semop-multi
      test with N threads and N semaphores, look like this:
      
      	vanilla		Davidlohr's	Davidlohr's +	Davidlohr's +

      This patch:
      
      There is no reason to be holding the ipc lock while reading ipcp->seq,
      hence remove misleading comment.
      
      Also simplify the return value for the function.

      ipc: implement MSG_COPY as a new receive mode · 8ac6ed58
      Peter Hurley authored
      Teach the helper routines about MSG_COPY so that msgtyp is preserved as
      the message number to copy.
      
      The security functions affected by this change were audited and no
      additional changes are necessary.

      ipc: separate msg allocation from userspace copy · be5f4b33
      Peter Hurley authored
      Separating msg allocation enables single-block vmalloc
      allocation instead.

      tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take three · b0b88565
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit
      b0de59b5: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then
      limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c7: "TTY:
      fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both
      insufficient and overkill.
      
      It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node
      to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill
      because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an
      idle person from an active one with 'w'.
      
      So this tries to fix the problem properly.  It marks the shared ptmx
      node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few
      seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual
      keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is
      active or not.
