We don't have to update a backlight status every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because the backlight status may have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. We don't hope blanking one of the framebuffers may turn the backlight off for all the other framebuffers, since they are likely being active to display something. This patch makes the backlight status be updated only when the relevant backlight device's use count changes from zero to one or from one to zero. Signed-off-by:

We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. The backlight driver should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the associated framebuffers. This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two properties should be updated or not. To be more specific, only one unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a blanked framebuffer.

There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can protect this. Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep about it. That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo 0 > cpux/online) Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().

It seems that we have newer used the last byte in the ring buffer. In fact, we have newer used the last 4 bytes because of padding. First problem is in the check for free space. The exact number of free bytes is enough to store the length of data. Second problem is in the check where the ring buffer is rotated. The left side counts the first unused index. It is unused, so it might be the same as the size of the buffer. Note that the first problem has to be fixed together with the second one. Otherwise, the buffer is rotated even when there is enough space on the end of the buffer. Then the beginning of the buffer is rewritten and valid entries get corrupted. Signed-off-by:

There is no check for potential "text_len" overflow. It is not needed because only valid level is detected. It took me some time to understand why. It would deserve a comment ;-) Signed-off-by:

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: kernel/user.c obj-y kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch) kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec. Signed-off-by:

If the glibc xattr.h header is included after the uapi header, compilation fails due to an enum re-using a #define from the uapi header. Protect against this by guarding the define and enum inclusions against each other.

The Makefile is designed to use the host toolchain so it may be unsafe to build the tests if the kernel has been configured and built for another architecture. This fixes a build problem when the kernel has been configured and built for the MIPS architecture but the host is not MIPS (cross-compiled). The MIPS syscalls are only defined if one of the following is true: 1) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI64 2) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_ABI32 3) _MIPS_SIM == _MIPS_SIM_NABI32 Of course, none of these make sense on a non-MIPS toolchain and the following build problem occurs when building on a non-MIPS host. linux/usr/include/linux/kexec.h:50: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c: In function `emulator': samples/seccomp/bpf-direct.c:76:17: error: `__NR_write' undeclared (first use in this function) Signed-off-by:

Users running applications on a memory-less cpu which needs readahead such as streaming application see considerable boost in the performance.
