When expert configuration option(CONFIG_EXPERT) is enabled, menuconfig offers a choice of compression algorithm to compress initial ramfs image; This choice is stored into CONFIG_RD_* variables. But usr/Makefile uses earlier INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_* macros to build initial ramfs file. Since none of them is defined, resulting 'initramfs_data.cpio' file remains un-compressed. This patch updates the Makefile to use CONFIG_RD_* variables and adds support for LZ4 compression algorithm. Also updates the 'gen_initramfs_list.sh' script to check whether a selected compression command is accessible or not. And fall-back to default gzip(1) compression when it is not. Signed-off-by:

This patch proposes to make init failures more explicit. Before this, the "No init found" message didn't help much. It could sometimes be misleading and actually mean "No *working* init found". This message could hide many different issues: - no init program candidates found at all - some init program candidates exist but can't be executed (missing execute permissions, failed to load shared libraries, executable compiled for an unknown architecture...) This patch notifies the kernel user when a candidate init program is found but can't be executed. In each failure situation, the error code is displayed, to quickly find the root cause. "No init found" is also replaced by "No working init found", which is more correct. This will help embedded Linux developers (especially the newcomers), regularly making and debugging new root filesystems.

Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial ramdisk image. But this choice does not result in duly compressed initial ramdisk image. Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs file. dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie. gzip(1). If a user chose any other compression instead of gzip(1), it leads to a crash due to NULL pointer dereference in crd_load(), caused by a NULL function pointer returned by the 'decompress_method()' routine. Because the initramfs image is gzip(1) compressed, whereas the kernel knows only to decompress the chosen format and not gzip(1). This patch replaces the crash by an explicit panic() call with an appropriate error message. This shall prevent the kernel from eventually panicking in: init/do_mounts.c: mount_block_root() with -> panic("VFS: Unable to mount root fs on %s", b); [akpm@linux-foundation.org: mention that the problem is with the ramdisk, don't print known-to-be-NULL value] Signed-off-by: -

When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb. Signed-off-by:

Naked use sscanf can be troublesome because the pointed to variables may not have been set. Add a warning when the sscanf return value is not used. For now, do not add __must_check to the sscanf prototype because that will cause a couple of hundred new warnings when compiling a kernel. Signed-off-by:

Avoid prescribing kernel styled shortcuts for gcc extensions of __attribute__((foo)) in the uapi include paths. Fix $realfile filename when using -f/--file to not remove first level directory as if the filename was used in a -P1 patch. Only strip the first level directory (typically a or b) for P1 patches.

Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a return statement. This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend on perl v5.10 and higher. This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find like: ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required #211: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/sun3xflop.h:211: + return ((error == 0) ? 0 : -1); Signed-off-by:

Kernel maintainers reject new instances of the GPL boilerplate paragraph directing people to write to the FSF for a copy of the GPL, since the FSF has moved in the past and may do so again. Make this an error for new code, but just a --strict CHK in --file mode; anyone interested in doing tree-wide cleanups of this form can enable this test explicitly. Signed-off-by:
