[PATCH] fault injection: split up stacktrace filter Kconfig option

2007-02-21T01:10:14+00:00

There is no prompt for CONFIG_STACKTRACE, so FAULT_INJECTION cannot be
selected without LOCKDEP enabled.  (found by Paolo 'Blaisorblade'
Giarrusso)

In order to fix such broken Kconfig dependency, this patch splits up the
stacktrace filter support for fault injection by new Kconfig option, which
enables to use fault injection on the architecture which doesn't have
general stacktrace support.

[PATCH] Convert highest_possible_processor_id to nr_cpu_ids

2007-02-21T01:10:13+00:00

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.

kobject: kobj->k_name verification fix

2007-02-16T23:19:17+00:00

The function 'kobject_add' tries to verify the name of
a new kobject instance is properly set before continuing.
    if (!kobj->k_name)
        kobj->k_name = kobj->name;
    if (!kobj->k_name) {
        pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
        WARN_ON(1);
        return -EINVAL;
    }
The statement:
    if (!kobj->k_name) {
        pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
        WARN_ON(1);
        return -EINVAL;
    }
is useless the way it is right now, because it can never be true. I
think the
code was intended to be:
    if (!kobj->k_name)
        kobj->k_name = kobj->name;
    if (!*kobj->k_name) {
        pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
        WARN_ON(1);
        return -EINVAL;
    }
because this would make sure the kobj->name buffer has something in it.
So the missing '*' is just a typo. Although, I would much prefer
expression like:
    if (*kobj->k_name == '\0') {
        pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n");
        WARN_ON(1);
        return -EINVAL;
    }

because this would've made the intention clear, in this patch I just restore
the missing '*' without changing the coding style of the function.

[PATCH] Add debugging feature /proc/timer_stat

2007-02-16T16:13:59+00:00

Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration.
Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured.
This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.

Sample output:

# echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats
# cat /proc/timer_stats

[PATCH] pci_iomap_regions() error handling fix

2007-02-16T16:13:55+00:00

It appears that the pcim_iomap_regions() function doesn't get the error
handling right. It BUGs early at boot with a backtrace along the lines of:

ahci_init
pci_register_driver
driver_register
[...]
ahci_init_one
pcim_iomap_region
pcim_iounmap

The following patch allows me to boot. Only the if(mask..) continue;
part fixes the problem actually, the gotos where changed so that we
don't try to unmap something we couldn't map anyway.
