Turn on INTR/QUIT/SUSP echoing in the N_TTY line discipline (e.g. ctrl-C will appear as "^C" if stty echoctl is set and ctrl-C is set as INTR). Linux seems to be the only unix-like OS (recently I've verified this on Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X) that does *not* behave this way, and I really miss this as a good visual confirmation of the interrupt of a program in the console or xterm. I remember this fondly from many Unixs I've used over the years as well. Bringing this to Linux also seems like a good way to make it yet more compliant with standard unix-like behavior.

This adds support to allow asm/ptrace.h to define two new macros, arch_ptrace_stop_needed and arch_ptrace_stop. These control special machine-specific actions to be done before a ptrace stop. The new code compiles away to nothing when the new macros are not defined. This is the case on all machines to begin with. On ia64, these macros will be defined to solve the long-standing issue of ptrace vs register backing store. Signed-off-by:

We restarted scan of sb->s_inodes list whenever we had to drop inode_lock in add_dquot_ref(). This leads to overall quadratic running time and thus add_dquot_ref() can take several minutes when called on a life filesystem. We fix the problem by using the fact that inode cannot be removed from s_inodes list while we hold a reference to it and thus we can safely restart the scan if we don't drop the reference. Here we use the fact that inodes freshly added to s_inodes list are already guaranteed to have quotas properly initialized and the ordering of inodes on s_inodes list does not change so we cannot skip any inode. Thanks goes to Nick <gentuu@gmail.com> for analyzing the problem and testing the fix. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: iput(NULL) is legal] Signed-off-by:

When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names, kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak symbol. This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last before feeding them to the kernel. This way the kernel runtime isn't changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed. Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too. So, even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this. Mathieu says: I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol corresponding to a specific system call address. Unfortunately, all the unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever non-weak symbol would be expected). Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first symbol that matched. This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is one, which seems to be the expected result.

The inotify debugging code is supposed to verify that the DCACHE_INOTIFY_PARENT_WATCHED scalability optimisation does not result in notifications getting lost nor extra needless locking generated. Unfortunately there are also some races in the debugging code. And it isn't very good at finding problems anyway. So remove it for now. Signed-off-by:

There is a race between setting an inode's children's "parent watched" flag when placing the first watch on a parent, and instantiating new children of that parent: a child could miss having its flags set by set_dentry_child_flags, but then inotify_d_instantiate might still see !inotify_inode_watched. The solution is to set_dentry_child_flags after adding the watch. Locking is taken care of, because both set_dentry_child_flags and inotify_d_instantiate hold dcache_lock and child->d_locks.

The rcu_assign_pointer() primitive currently unconditionally executes a memory barrier, even when a NULL pointer is being assigned. This has lead some to avoid using rcu_assign_pointer() for NULL pointers, which loses the self-documenting advantages of rcu_assign_pointer() This patch uses __builtin_const_p() to omit needless memory barriers for NULL-pointer assignments at compile time with no runtime penalty, as discussed in the following thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg54852.html Tested on x86_64 and ppc64, also compiled the four cases (NULL/non-NULL and const/non-const) with gcc version 4.1.2, and hand-checked the assembly output.

It's also not exactly loops, so I suppose xloops is an OK name. This patch changes these names from usecs to xloops. Signed-off-by:

NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.

Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count changed. This is inconvenient for the application in some cases: Suppose you have the following directory structure foo/test bar/ and you watch test. If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test". However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive events). Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes. The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or when it is removed. This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so far. In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.
