Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its behavior which is really unnecessecary. If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec kernel has been loaded). It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler (assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

On embedded devices, sleep mode conditions can be tricky to handle, Especially when processors tend to pull-down the w1 bus during sleep. Bus slaves (such as the ds2760) may interpret this as a reason for power-down conditions and entirely switch off the device. This patch adds a callback function pointer to let users switch on and off the external pull-up resistor. This lets the outside world know whether the processor is currently actively driving the bus or not. When this callback is not provided, the code behaviour won't change. Signed-off-by:

We unified x86 and IA64's handling of multiple dma mapping operations (struct dma_map_ops in linux/dma-mapping.h) so we can remove duplication in their arch/include/asm/dma-mapping.h. This patchset adds include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h that provides some generic dma mapping function definitions for the users of struct dma_map_ops. This enables us to remove about 100 lines. This also enables us to easily add CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support, which only x86 supports for now. The 4th patch adds CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support to IA64 by adding only 8 lines. This patch: This header file provides some mapping function definitions that the users of struct dma_map_ops can use. Signed-off-by:

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text). [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.htmlSigned-off-by:

Strictly speaking list_op_pending points to the 'lock entry', not the 'lock word' (which is actually at 'offset' from 'lock entry'). We can infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c: struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending; ... if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip)) return; ... if (pending) handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset, curr, pip); Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.

find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument. So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid. While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a pid_t. Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting modules to do it that way. Signed-off-by:

One of my programs frequently grabs the parport, does something with it and then drops it again. This results in spamming of the kernel log with "... registered pardevice" "... unregistered pardevice" These messages are completely useless, except for debugging ppdev, probably.

Now that kthread_stop() can be used even if the task has already exited, we can kill the "wait_to_die:" loop in migration_thread(). But we must pin rq->migration_thread after creation. Actually, I don't think CPU_UP_CANCELED or CPU_DEAD should wait for ->migration_thread exit. Perhaps we can simplify this code a bit more. migration_call() can set ->should_stop and forget about this thread. But we need a new helper in kthred.c for that. Signed-off-by:

Based on Eric's patch which in turn was based on my patch. kthread_stop() has the nasty problems: - it runs unpredictably long with the global semaphore held. - it deadlocks if kthread itself does kthread_stop() before it obeys the kthread_should_stop() request. - it is not useable if kthread exits on its own, see for example the ugly "wait_to_die:" hack in migration_thread() - it is not possible to just tell kthread it should stop, we must always wait for its exit. With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted. ->vfork_done is used as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily wait for kthread's exit.

We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly. kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread() wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done. But kthread() does not need to wait for kthread(), it can just return. Instead kthread() itself can wake up the caller of kthread_create(). Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough. This improves the scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code. The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread() must do complete(&create->done). Signed-off-by:

do_wait: current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE; read_lock(&tasklist_lock); ... search for the task to reap ... In theory, the ->state changing can leak into the critical section. Since the child can change its status under read_lock(tasklist) in parallel (finish_stop/ptrace_stop), we can miss the wakeup if __wake_up_parent() sees us in TASK_RUNNING state. Add the barrier. Also, use __set_current_state() to set TASK_RUNNING. Signed-off-by:

do_wait() does BUG_ON(tsk->signal != current->signal), this looks like a raher obsolete check. At least, I don't think do_wait() is the best place to verify that all threads have the same ->signal. Remove it. Also, change the code to use while_each_thread(). Signed-off-by:

Now that we don't pass &retval down to other helpers we can simplify the code more. - kill tsk_result, just use retval - add the "notask" label right after the main loop, and s/got end/goto notask/ after the fastpath pid check. This way we don't need to initialize retval before this check and the code becomes a bit more clean, if this pid has no attached tasks we should just skip the list search. Signed-off-by:

No functional changes, preparation for the next patch. ptrace_do_wait() adds WUNTRACED to options for wait_task_stopped() which should always accept the stopped tracee, even if do_wait() was called without WUNTRACED. Change wait_task_stopped() to check "ptrace || WUNTRACED" instead. This makes the code more explicit, and "int options" argument becomes const in do_wait() pathes. Signed-off-by:
