notifier: Substitute rcu_access_pointer() for rcu_dereference_raw()

2014-02-26T14:35:13+00:00

(Trivial patch.)

If the code is looking at the RCU-protected pointer itself, but not
dereferencing it, the rcu_dereference() functions can be downgraded
to rcu_access_pointer().  This commit makes this downgrade in
__blocking_notifier_call_chain() which simply compares the RCU-protected
pointer against NULL with no dereferencing.

kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12+00:00

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else.  Revector them
onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

  -#include 
  +#include 

This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

notifiers: sys: move reboot notifiers into reboot.h

2011-07-26T03:57:14+00:00

It is not necessary to share the same notifier.h.

This patch already moves register_reboot_notifier() and
unregister_reboot_notifier() from kernel/notifier.c to kernel/sys.c.

sched: Use lockdep-based checking on rcu_dereference()

2010-02-25T09:34:26+00:00

Update the rcu_dereference() usages to take advantage of the new
lockdep-based checking.

kprobes: Fix to add __kprobes to notify_die

2009-08-30T01:08:26+00:00

Add __kprobes to notify_die() because do_int3() calls notify_die()
instead of atomic_notify_call_chain() which is already marked as
__kprobes.

ftrace: ignore functions that cannot be kprobe-ed

2008-10-14T08:34:22+00:00

kprobes already has an extensive list of annotations for functions
that should not be instrumented. Add notrace annotations to these
functions as well.

This is particularly useful for functions called by the NMI path.

debug: add notifier chain debugging

2008-09-10T07:08:50+00:00

during some development we suspected a case where we left something
in a notifier chain that was from a module that was unloaded already...
and that sort of thing is rather hard to track down.

This patch adds a very simple sanity check (which isn't all that
expensive) to make sure the notifier we're about to call is
actually from either the kernel itself of from a still-loaded
module, avoiding a hard-to-chase-down crash.

ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negative

2008-04-29T15:06:13+00:00

The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative
value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain.

A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism:
notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already
registered.  With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states
changes in procfs.
