2017-01-06T07:06:06+00:00

Pull audit fixes from Paul Moore:
 "Two small fixes relating to audit's use of fsnotify.

  The first patch plugs a leak and the second fixes some lock
  shenanigans. The patches are small and I banged on this for an
  afternoon with our testsuite and didn't see anything odd"

* 'stable-4.10' of git://git.infradead.org/users/pcmoore/audit:
  audit: Fix sleep in atomic
  fsnotify: Remove fsnotify_duplicate_mark()

audit: Fix sleep in atomic

2017-01-03T20:56:38+00:00

Audit tree code was happily adding new notification marks while holding
spinlocks. Since fsnotify_add_mark() acquires group->mark_mutex this can
lead to sleeping while holding a spinlock, deadlocks due to lock
inversion, and probably other fun. Fix the problem by acquiring
group->mark_mutex earlier.

smp/hotplug: Undo tglxs brainfart

2016-12-27T01:30:24+00:00

The attempt to prevent overwriting an active state resulted in a
disaster which effectively disables all dynamically allocated hotplug
states.

Cleanup the mess.

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
  timers/timekeeping.

   - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
     helpful and caused more confusion than clarity

   - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
     the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
     timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
     some time ago.

     That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.

  Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
  manual mopping up"

Pull SMP hotplug notifier removal from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the final cleanup of the hotplug notifier infrastructure. The
  series has been reintgrated in the last two days because there came a
  new driver using the old infrastructure via the SCSI tree.

  Summary:

   - convert the last leftover drivers utilizing notifiers

   - fixup for a completely broken hotplug user

   - prevent setup of already used states

   - removal of the notifiers

   - treewide cleanup of hotplug state names

   - consolidation of state space

  There is a sphinx based documentation pending, but that needs review
  from the documentation folks"

ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

ktime: Get rid of the union

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
become completely pointless.

Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.

The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12+00:00

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is
unambiguous.

Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script:

@rem@
@@
-typedef u64 cycle_t;

@fix@
typedef cycle_t;

-cycle_t

cpu/hotplug: Remove obsolete cpu hotplug register/unregister functions

2016-12-25T09:47:43+00:00

hotcpu_notifier(), cpu_notifier(), __hotcpu_notifier(), __cpu_notifier(),
register_hotcpu_notifier(), register_cpu_notifier(),
__register_hotcpu_notifier(), __register_cpu_notifier(),
unregister_hotcpu_notifier(), unregister_cpu_notifier(),
__unregister_hotcpu_notifier(), __unregister_cpu_notifier()

are unused now. Remove them and all related code.

Remove also the now pointless cpu notifier error injection mechanism. The
states can be executed step by step and error rollback is the same as cpu
down, so any state transition can be tested w/o requiring the notifier
error injection.

Some CPU hotplug states are kept as they are (ab)used for hotplug state
tracking.

cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks

2016-12-25T09:47:42+00:00

Developers manage to overwrite states blindly without thought. That's fatal
and hard to debug. Add sanity checks to make it fail.

This requries to restructure the code so that the dynamic state allocation
happens in the same lock protected section as the actual store. Otherwise
the previous assignment of 'Reserved' to the name field would trigger the
overwrite check.
