Static ISA field is empty and probably will never be filled in, remove it. The driver still supports ISA cards passed through module parameter. This actually fixes one bug inside the initialization of module-param passed cards initialization. Signed-off-by:

The purpose of this patch to the SGI Altix specific mmtimer (posix timer) driver is to allow a virtually infinite number of timers to be set per node. Timers will now be kept on a sorted per-node list and a single node-based hardware comparator is used to trigger the next timer.

Now we have pushed the lock down we can stop wrapping the call with a lock in the tty layer. Signed-off-by:

First cut at moving the soft carrier handling knowledge entirely into the core code. One or two drivers still needed to snoop these functions to track CLOCAL internally. Instead make TIOCSSOFTCAR generate the same driver calls as other termios ioctls changing the clocal flag. This allows us to remove any driver knowledge and special casing. Also while we are at it we can fix the error handling. Signed-off-by:

This function still depends on the big kernel lock in some cases. Push locking into the function ready for removal of the BKL from ioctl call paths. Signed-off-by:

Refine these behaviors in the N_TTY line discipline: 1) Handle the signal characters consistently when received in a stopped TTY so that SUSP (typically ctrl-Z) behaves like INTR and QUIT in resuming a stopped TTY. 2) Adjust the order in which the IGNCR/ICRNL/INLCR processing is applied to be more logical and consistent with the behavior of other Unix systems.

Historically tty->pgrp and friends were pid_t and the code "knew" they were safe. The change to pid structs opened up a few races and the removal of the BKL in places made them quite hittable. We put tty->pgrp under the ctrl_lock for the tty. Signed-off-by:

- Push the BKL down into the line disciplines - Switch the tty layer to unlocked_ioctl - Introduce a new ctrl_lock spin lock for the control bits - Eliminate much of the lock_kernel use in n_tty - Prepare to (but don't yet) call the drivers with the lock dropped on the paths that historically held the lock BKL now primarily protects open/close/ldisc change in the tty layer [jirislaby@gmail.com: a couple of fixes] Signed-off-by:

Instead of checking for the BKL in these methods, take it ourselves. That avoids propogating it into the serial drivers and we can then fix them later on. Signed-off-by:

Three things here - Remove softcar handler - Correct termios change detection logic - Wrap break/ioctl in lock_kernel ready to drop it in the caller Signed-off-by:

Alan Cox authored
This one could do with some eyeballs on it. In theory it simply wraps the ioctl handler in lock/unlock_kernel ready for the lock/unlocks to be pushed into specific switch values. To do that means changing the code to return via a common exit path not all over the place as it does now, hence the big diff Signed-off-by:

For some weird reason I can't ascertain (translation "I think its broken") the viocons driver calls directly into the n_tty ldisc code even if another ldisc is in use. It'll probably break if you do that but I'm just fixing the locking and adding a comment that its horked. Signed-off-by:

As these are quite complex I've simply pushed the BKL down into the ioctl handler not tried to do anything neater. Signed-off-by:

Wrap the ioctl handler, and in this case the break handler also in the BKL. Remove bogus softcar handlers. Signed-off-by:

Push the BKL down into various internal routines in the driver ready to remove it from the break, ioctl and other call points. Signed-off-by:

This is an ancient driver so just wrap it in lock_kernel internally and be done. Signed-off-by:

Again lock the bits we can't trivially prove are safe without the BKL and remove the broken TIOCS/GSOFTCAR handler. Signed-off-by:

Push the BKL down into a few internal bits of code in this driver. Signed-off-by:

Alan Cox authored
Prepare epca for removing the lock from above. Most of epca is internally locked so we can trivially push it down to a few bits of code. Drop the TIOCG/SSOFTCAR handling as that is done *properly* with locks by the mid layer. Signed-off-by:

Basically wrap it in lock_kernel where it is hard to prove the locking is ok. Signed-off-by:

Just wrap this one in a lock_kernel. As I understand it there is no M68K SMP anyway. Signed-off-by:

Afaics, currently there are no kernel problems with ptracing init, it can't lose SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag and be killed/stopped by accident. The ability to strace/debug init can be very useful if you try to figure out why it does not work as expected. However, admin should know what he does, "gdb /sbin/init 1" stops init, it can't reap orphaned zombies or take care of /etc/inittab until continued. It is even possible to crash init (and thus the whole system) if you wish, ptracer has full control. See also the long discussion: http://marc.info/?t=120628018600001Signed-off-by:

Nobody can block/ignore SIGSTOP, no need to use force_sig_specific() in ptrace_attach. Use the "regular" send_sig_info(). With this patch stracing of /sbin/init doesn't clear its SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but not that this makes ptracing of init safe. Signed-off-by:

Currently __ptrace_unlink() checks list_empty(->ptrace_list) to figure out whether the child was reparented. Change the code to use ptrace_reparented() to make this check more explicit and consistent. No functional changes. Signed-off-by:

Add another trivial helper for the sake of grep. It also auto-documents the fact that ->parent != real_parent implies ->ptrace. No functional changes. Signed-off-by:

exit.c has numerous "->exit_signal == -1" comparisons, this check is subtle and deserves a helper. Imho makes the code more parseable for humans. At least it's surely more greppable. Also, a couple of whitespace cleanups. No functional changes. Signed-off-by:

Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING always has to be set too. Signed-off-by:

Roland McGrath authored
Change all the #ifdef TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK conditionals in non-arch code to #ifdef HAVE_SET_RESTORE_SIGMASK. If arch code defines it first, the generic set_restore_sigmask() using TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is not defined. Signed-off-by:
