* [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2006-09-296-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc. Restoring files on current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d files_struct. ->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all things under lock.

* [PATCH] clean up and remove some extra spinlocks from rtmutexSteven Rostedt2006-09-291-26/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg brought up some interesting points about grabbing the pi_lock for some protections. In this discussion, I realized that there are some places that the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn't necessary. Also this patch does a little bit of clean up. This patch basically does three things: 1) renames the "boost" variable to "chain_walk". Since it is used in the debugging case when it isn't going to be boosted. It better describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds. 2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock. This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read. The owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held. 3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the debugging case. This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races. It's just as good to go ahead and call the pi_chain_walk function, since after releasing the lock the owner can then block anyway, and we would have missed that. For the debug case, we really do want to do the chain walk to test for deadlocks anyway.

* [PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlierMark Huang2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone explain?

* | | [PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_threadEric W. Biederman2006-09-271-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case. The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner. Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being in cache. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

(It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.

This adds a generic syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility. I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall. The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs portable I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow as needed.

A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in that directory. This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

* | | | [PATCH] swsusp: Use memory bitmaps during resumeRafael J. Wysocki2006-09-264-246/+186

If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames). Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend). The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* | | | [PATCH] swsusp: Introduce memory bitmapsRafael J. Wysocki2006-09-263-70/+540
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the memory bitmap data structure and make swsusp use in the suspend phase. The current swsusp's internal data structure is not very efficient from the memory usage point of view, so it seems reasonable to replace it with a data structure that will require less memory, such as a pair of bitmaps. The idea is to use bitmaps that may be allocated as sets of individual pages, so that we can avoid making allocations of order greater than 0. For this reason the memory bitmap structure consists of several linked lists of objects that contain pointers to memory pages with the actual bitmap data. Still, for a typical system all of these lists fit in a single page, so it's reasonable to introduce an additional mechanism allowing us to allocate all of them efficiently without sacrificing the generality of the design. This is done with the help of the chain_allocator structure and associated functions. We need to use two memory bitmaps during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle. One of them is necessary for marking the saveable pages, and the second is used to mark the pages in which to store the copies of them (aka image pages). First, the bitmaps are created and we allocate as many image pages as needed (the corresponding bits in the second bitmap are set as soon as the pages are allocated). Second, the bits corresponding to the saveable pages are set in the first bitmap and the saveable pages are copied to the image pages. Finally, the first bitmap is used to save the kernel virtual addresses of the saveable pages and the second one is used to save the contents of the image pages. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
