When defining a dynamic size string, we add __str_loc_##item to the trace entry, and it stores the location of the actual string in entry->_str_data[] 'unsigned short' should be sufficient to store this information, thus we save 2 bytes per dyn-size string in the ring buffer.

I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction through ftrace_find_event(). This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race window between any event dereferencing and module removal. Eg: --Task A-- print_trace_line(trace) { event = find_ftrace_event(trace) --Task B-- trace_module_remove_events(mod) { list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) { unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) { hlist_del(ev->event->node) list_del(....) } } } |--> module removed, the event has been dropped --Task A-- event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data from a freed module. RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code. So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore, and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup(). One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with a message like this: BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error If so, the respective entries in debugfs (e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not succeed due to existing directories.

This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words. The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page. This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit without any version checking whatsoever.

devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options. The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options. So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even for NULL mount options. Bug reported by Eric Paris: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/7/448.

If two CPU's simultaneously call ext4_ext_get_blocks() at the same time, there is nothing protecting the i_cached_extent structure from being used and updated at the same time. This could potentially cause the wrong location on disk to be read or written to, including potentially causing the corruption of the block group descriptors and/or inode table. This bug has been in the ext4 code since almost the very beginning of ext4's development. Fortunately once the data is stored in the page cache cache, ext4_get_blocks() doesn't need to be called, so trying to replicate this problem to the point where we could identify its root cause was *extremely* difficult. Many thanks to Kevin Shanahan for working over several months to be able to reproduce this easily so we could finally nail down the cause of the corruption.

The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386. This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from 2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86. The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from working correctly in gdb.

Commit 79e53945 introduced a regression where you cannot use sysrq 'g' to enter kgdb. The solution is to move the intel fb sysrq over to V for video instead of G for graphics. The SMP VOYAGER code to register for the sysrq-v is not anywhere to be found in the mainline kernel, so the comments in the code were cleaned up as well. This patch also cleans up the sysrq definitions for kgdb to make it generic for the kernel debugger, such that the sysrq 'g' can be used in the future to enter a gdbstub or another kernel debugger.

This reverts commit fafd688e. Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API forever.

(The older interfaces never made it into mainline.) NOTE: open issue, the DMA should be to/from SRAM; see chip errata for more info.

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI device ROMs on various powerpc machines. First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't). Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree (instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment() returning 0. This fixes this by doing these two things: - The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too - We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme, so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence. This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and thus initialize various video cards from X etc...). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There have been a series of checkstops on QS21 related to ptcal being set up incorrectly. On systems that only have memory on a single node, ptcal fails when it gets a pointer to memory on the remote node. Moreover, agressive prefetching in memcpy and other functions may accidentally touch the first cache line of the page that we reserve for ptcal, which causes an ECC checkstop. We now allocate pages only from the specified node, moves the ptcal area into the middle of the allocated page to avoid potential prefetch problems and prints the address of the ptcal area to facilitate diagnostics.
