2009-04-07kprobes: support per-kprobe disablingMasami Hiramatsu
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.

2009-04-07kprobes: cleanup aggr_kprobe related codeMasami Hiramatsu
Currently, kprobes can disable all probes at once, but can't disable it individually (not unregister, just disable an kprobe, because unregistering needs to wait for scheduler synchronization). These patches introduce APIs for on-the-fly per-probe disabling and re-enabling by dis-arming/re-arming its breakpoint instruction. This patch: Change old_p to ap in add_new_kprobe() for readability, copy flags member in add_aggr_kprobe(), and simplify the code flow of register_aggr_kprobe().

2009-04-07Blackfin SPI Driver: Make mmc_spi driver work on BlackfinWolfgang Muees
1. Rewrite of the non-dma data transfer functions to use only ONE mode of TIMOD (TIMOD=0x1). With TIMOD=0, it was not possible to set the TX bit pattern. So the TDBR = 0xFFFF inside the read calls won't work. 2. Clear SPI_RDBR before reading and before duplex transfer. Otherwise the garbage data in RDBR will get read. Since mmc_spi uses a lot of duplex transfers, this is the main cause of mmc_spi failure. 3. Poll RXS for transfer completion. Polling SPIF or TXS cannot guarantee transfer completion. This may interrupt a transfer before it is finished. Also this may leave garbage data in buffer and affect next transfer.

2009-04-07Blackfin SPI Driver: fix bug - correct usage of struct spi_transfer.cs_changeYi Li
According to comments in linux/spi/spi.h: * All SPI transfers start with the relevant chipselect active. Normally * it stays selected until after the last transfer in a message. Drivers * can affect the chipselect signal using cs_change. * * (i) If the transfer isn't the last one in the message, this flag is * used to make the chipselect briefly go inactive in the middle of the * message. Toggling chipselect in this way may be needed to terminate * a chip command, letting a single spi_message perform all of group of * chip transactions together. * * (ii) When the transfer is the last one in the message, the chip may * stay selected until the next transfer. On multi-device SPI busses * with nothing blocking messages going to other devices, this is just * a performance hint; starting a message to another device deselects * this one. But in other cases, this can be used to ensure correctness. * Some devices need protocol transactions to be built from a series of * spi_message submissions, where the content of one message is determined * by the results of previous messages and where the whole transaction * ends when the chipselect goes intactive.

2009-04-07Blackfin SPI Driver: fix bug - spi controller driver does not ↵Yi Li
assert/deassert CS correctly This bug can be observed when two SPI devices are sharing the spi bus: One device is set as SPI CS 7, another one is using SPI CS 4. In spi_bfin5xx.c: cs_active(), cs_deactive() are used to control SPI_FLG register. From the debug bellow: cs_active: flag: 0x7f91, chip->flag: 0x7f80, cs: 7 cs_active: flag: 0xef91, chip->flag: 0xef10, cs: 4 When device A (cs_7) activate CS 7, SPI_FLG is set as 0x7f91 (however, SPI_FLG should be set as 0x7f80, or 0x6f91 if in broadcast mode). Due to some HW bug (very possibly), if SPI_FLG is set as 0x7f91, SPISSEL7 is asserted, however SPISSEL4 will be asserted too (I can see this using the scope). This is unreasonable according to HRM.

2009-04-07mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threadsPeter W Morreale
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and maximum number of pdflush threads. This allows finer control of pdflush on both large and small machines. The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices. Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the kernel. The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000. Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

2009-04-07mm: fix pdflush thread creation upper boundPeter W Morreale
Fix a race on creating pdflush threads. Without the patch, it is possible to create more than MAX_PDFLUSH_THREADS threads, and this has been observed in practice on IO loaded SMP machines. The fix involves moving the lock around to protect the check against the thread count and correctly dealing with thread creation failure. This fix also _mostly_ repairs a race condition on how quickly the threads are created. The original intent was to create a pdflush thread (up to the max allowed) every second. Without this patch is is possible to create NCPUS pdflush threads concurrently. The 'mostly' caveat is because an assumption is made that thread creation will be successful. If we fail to create the thread, the miss is not considered fatal.

pci_vpd_truncate() should check for dev->vpd->attr, otherwise this might happen: sky2 driver version 1.22 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000000c Faulting instruction address: 0xc01836fc Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] NIP [c01836fc] pci_vpd_truncate+0x38/0x40 LR [c029be18] sky2_probe+0x14c/0x518 Call Trace: [ef82bde0] [c029bda4] sky2_probe+0xd8/0x518 (unreliable) [ef82be20] [c018a11c] local_pci_probe+0x24/0x34 [ef82be30] [c018a14c] pci_call_probe+0x20/0x30 [ef82be50] [c018a330] __pci_device_probe+0x64/0x78 [ef82be60] [c018a44c] pci_device_probe+0x30/0x58 [ef82be80] [c01aa270] really_probe+0x78/0x1a0 [ef82bea0] [c01aa460] __driver_attach+0xa4/0xa8 [ef82bec0] [c01a96ac] bus_for_each_dev+0x60/0x9c [ef82bef0] [c01aa0b4] driver_attach+0x24/0x34 [ef82bf00] [c01a9e08] bus_add_driver+0x12c/0x1cc [ef82bf20] [c01aa87c] driver_register+0x6c/0x110 [ef82bf30] [c018a770] __pci_register_driver+0x4c/0x9c [ef82bf50] [c03782c8] sky2_init_module+0x30/0x40 [ef82bf60] [c0001dbc] do_one_initcall+0x34/0x1a0 [ef82bfd0] [c0362240] do_initcalls+0x38/0x58 This happens with CONFIG_SKY2=y, and "ip=on" kernel command line, so pci_vpd_truncate() is called before late_initcall(pci_sysfs_init), therefore ->attr isn't yet initialized.

2009-04-07ramfs: fix double freeing s_fs_info on failed mountIngo Molnar
If ramfs mount fails, s_fs_info will be freed twice in ramfs_fill_super() and ramfs_kill_sb(), leading to kernel oops. Consolidate and beautify the code. Make sure s_fs_info and s_root are in known good states.

2009-04-07Revert "module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section."Rusty Russell
This reverts commit 9cb610d8e35fe3ec95a2fe2030b02f85aeea83c1. This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless. Even better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

2009-04-07powerpc: Fix oops when loading modulesPaul Mackerras
This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any module would cause an oops. We weren't marking the pages containing the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an exception on processors that support hardware execute permission. This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.

2009-04-07powerpc: Fix ptrace compat wrapper for FPU register accessMichael Neuling
The ptrace compat wrapper mishandles access to the fpu registers. The PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR requests miscalculate the index into the fpr array due to the broken FPINDEX macro. The PPC_PTRACE_PEEKUSR_3264 request needs to use the same formula that the native ptrace interface uses when operating on the register number (as opposed to the 4-byte offset). The PPC_PTRACE_POKEUSR_3264 request didn't take TS_FPRWIDTH into account.

2009-04-07powerpc: Print information about mapping hw irqs to virtual irqsMichael Ellerman
The irq remapping layer seems to cause some confusion when people see a different irq number in /proc/interrupts vs the one they request in their driver or DTS. So have the irq remapping layer print out a message when we map an irq. The message is only printed the first time the irq is mapped, and it's KERN_DEBUG so most people won't see it.
