2011-03-09tracing: Add an 'overwrite' trace_option.David Sharp
Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

2011-03-04DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]David Howells
When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076]. Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing. Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated. The buggy code was added in: commit 4a2d789267e00b5a1175ecd2ddefcc78b83fbf09 Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com> Date: Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100 Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2] This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program compiled with -lkeyutils: #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #include <err.h> static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6"; int main() { key_serial_t key; key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload), KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING); if (key == -1) err(1, "add_key"); if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1) err(1, "read_key"); return 0; } What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user: dns-break: read_key: No such device or address but instead the kernel oopses. This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be included in the data. Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return -EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read. The oops looks like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 IP: [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f PGD 3bdf8067 PUD 385b9067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:19.0/irq CPU 0 Modules linked in: Pid: 2150, comm: dns-break Not tainted 2.6.38-rc7-cachefs+ #468 /DG965RY RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff811b99f7>] [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f RSP: 0018:ffff88003bf47f08 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff88003b5ea378 RCX: ffffffff81972368 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff88003b5ea378 RBP: ffff88003bf47f28 R08: ffff88003be56620 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000395 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffffffffffffa1 FS: 00007feab5751700(0000) GS:ffff88003e000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000010 CR3: 000000003de40000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process dns-break (pid: 2150, threadinfo ffff88003bf46000, task ffff88003be56090) Stack: ffff88003b5ea378 ffff88003b5ea3a0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffff88003bf47f68 ffffffff811b708e ffff88003c442bc8 0000000000000000 00000000004005a0 00007fffba368060 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b708e>] keyctl_read_key+0xac/0xcf [<ffffffff811b7c07>] sys_keyctl+0x75/0xb6 [<ffffffff81001f7b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 75 1f 48 83 7b 28 00 75 18 c6 05 58 2b fb 00 01 be bb 00 00 00 48 c7 c7 76 1c 75 81 e8 13 c2 e9 ff 4c 8b b3 e0 00 00 00 4d 85 ed <41> 0f b7 5e 10 74 2d 4d 85 e4 74 28 e8 98 79 ee ff 49 39 dd 48 RIP [<ffffffff811b99f7>] user_read+0x4f/0x8f RSP <ffff88003bf47f08> CR2: 0000000000000010 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> cc: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2011-02-26genirq: Provide forced interrupt threadingThomas Gleixner
Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If "threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no impact in the interrupt hotpath. Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded. Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt handling into thread context. When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy. Some test results on a Core2Duo machine: Cache cold run of: # time git grep irq_desc non-threaded threaded real 1m18.741s 1m19.061s user 0m1.874s 0m1.757s sys 0m5.843s 0m5.427s # iperf -c server non-threaded [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 933 Mbits/sec [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 934 Mbits/sec [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 933 Mbits/sec threaded [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 939 Mbits/sec [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 934 Mbits/sec [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 1.09 GBytes 937 Mbits/sec Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <20110223234956.772668648@linutronix.de>
2011-02-23rtc: cmos: Add OF bindingsSebastian Andrzej Siewior
This allows to load the OF driver based informations from the device tree. Systems without BIOS may need to perform some initialization. PowerPC creates a PNP device from the OF information and performs this kind of initialization in their private PCI quirk. This looks more generic. This patch also avoids registering the platform RTC driver on X86 if we have a device tree blob. Otherwise we would setup the device based on the hardcoded information in arch/x86 rather than the device tree based one.

2011-02-23x86: dtb: Add a device tree for CE4100Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
History: v1..v2: - dropped device_type except for cpu & pci. I have the compatible string for pci so I can drop the device_type once it is possible - I lowercased all compatible types. I will need to resend some patches which have upper case intel - The cpu had the same compatible string as the soc node. So I added to the soc node -immr for internel memory mapped registers. - I added generic names for all parts. - I reworked the i2c bars matching the way you suggested. I added a compatible node for the PCI device which only the PCI ids in its compatible string. The bars (each represents a complete i2c controller) have a "intel,ce4100-i2c-controller" compatible node. It is not used by the driver. The driver is probed via PCI ids (by the pci subsystem not OF) and matches the bar address against the ressource in the child node. Once there is a hit the node is attached. - The SPI driver is also probed via pci. However I also attached a compatible property based on PCI ids v2..v3: - intel,ce4100-immr become intel,ce4100-cp. cp stands for core peripherals. The Atom data sheet talks here about ACPI devices. Since we don't have ACPI this does not apply here. - The interrupt map is gone. There are now plenty of device nodes. - The "unit address string" got fixed, it uses not DD,V format. v3..v4: - added descriptions for compatible nodes introduced here: - intel,ce4100-ioapic - intel,ce4100-lapic - intel,ce4100-hpet - intel,ce4100 - intel,ce4100-cp - intel,ce4100-pci - added a description about I2C controller magic. - Added gpio-controller and gpio-cells property to gpio devices. Those properties are not (yet) used.

2011-02-23x86: Add device tree supportSebastian Andrzej Siewior
This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at least boot protocol 2.09. Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the code compile. The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded otherwise. This includes things like - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus? - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC? - where could my hpet be?

2011-02-16workqueue, freezer: unify spelling of 'freeze' + 'able' to 'freezable'Tejun Heo
There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and 'freezeable'. The former is the more prominent one. The latter is mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places. Unify the spelling to 'freezable'. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

2011-02-16hwmon: (jc42) do not allow writing to locked registersClemens Ladisch
On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is likely to have locked the alarm registers. In that case, all writes through the corresponding sysfs files would be silently ignored. To prevent this, detect the locks and make the affected sysfs files read-only.

To help mere mortals in deciding whether to enable this driver, mention what this sensor is for and in which systems it might be found. Also add a link to the actual JC 42.4 specification.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Allow arch specific syscall symbol matchingIan Munsie
Some architectures have unusual symbol names and the generic code to match the symbol name with the function name for the syscall metadata will fail. For example, symbols on PPC64 start with a period and the generic code will fail to match them. This patch moves the match logic out into a separate function which an arch can override by defining ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in asm/ftrace.h and implementing arch_syscall_match_sym_name.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weakIan Munsie
Some architectures use non-trivial system call tables and will not work with the generic arch_syscall_addr code. For example, PowerPC64 uses a table of twin long longs. This patch makes the generic arch_syscall_addr weak to allow architectures with non-trivial system call tables to override it.

2011-02-07tracing/kprobes: Add bitfield typeMasami Hiramatsu
Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer. The syntax of a bitfield type is: b<bit-size>@<bit-offset>/<container-size> e.g. Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at 4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register: +4(%ax):b2@4/32 Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added the container-size at the end.

2011-02-02memsw: deprecate noswapaccount kernel parameter and schedule it for removalMichal Hocko
noswapaccount couldn't be used to control memsw for both on/off cases so we have added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter. This way we can turn the feature in two ways noswapaccount resp. swapaccount=0. We have kept the original noswapaccount but I think we should remove it after some time as it just makes more command line parameters without any advantages and also the code to handle parameters is uglier if we want both parameters.
