023d43c Peter Zijlstra 21 July 2009, 08:09:23 UTC lockdep: Fix lockdep annotation for pipe_double_lock() The presumed use of the pipe_double_lock() routine is to lock 2 locks in a deadlock free way by ordering the locks by their address. However it fails to keep the specified lock classes in order and explicitly annotates a deadlock. Rectify this.

dfe5a50 Arjan van de Ven 21 July 2009, 05:54:26 UTC perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed size for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

7f453c2 Peter Zijlstra 21 July 2009, 11:19:40 UTC perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited counters Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

3730793 Linus Torvalds 22 July 2009, 15:49:22 UTC fbmon: work around compiler bug in gcc-2.4.2 There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128. The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this: unsigned char i, ... for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) { .. is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just branches to itself. This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv' instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop induction variable be an 'int' instead.

d953126 Trond Myklebust 21 July 2009, 23:22:38 UTC NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernel We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return -EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error. When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup, the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state. The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the nfs_open_context state pointer.

fccba80 Trond Myklebust 21 July 2009, 20:48:07 UTC NFSv4: Fix an NFSv4 mount regression Commit 008f55d0e019943323c20a03493a2ba5672a4cc8 (nfs41: recover lease in _nfs4_lookup_root) forces the state manager to always run on mount. This is a bug in the case of NFSv4.0, which doesn't require us to send a setclientid until we want to grab file state. In any case, this is completely the wrong place to be doing state management. Moving that code into nfs4_init_session... Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> 21 July 2009, 20:48:07 UTC
b64aec8 Trond Myklebust 21 July 2009, 20:47:46 UTC NFSv4: Fix an Oops in nfs4_free_lock_state The oops http://www.kerneloops.org/raw.php?rawid=537858&msgid= appears to be due to the nfs4_lock_state->ls_state field being uninitialised. This happens if the call to nfs4_free_lock_state() is triggered at the end of nfs4_get_lock_state(). The fix is to move the initialisation of ls_state into the allocator.

Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. Various other functions that are called by mac_sonic_probe need to move to .devinit.text, too. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.

6301cb9 Thomas Gleixner 17 July 2009, 12:15:47 UTC sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks really commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags & PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement nr_uninterruptible on thaw. Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and clear it after we return from frozen state.

That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of the time we offlined the CPU. Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead. Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the stale update time value.

This happens when writing out strings because we always align the end to 64 bits. To avoid this we should always use an appropriately sized temporary buffer and ensure it is zeroed. Since d_path assembles the string from the end of the buffer backwards, we need to add 64 bits after the buffer to allow for alignment. We also need to copy arch_vma_name to the temporary buffer, because if we use it directly we may end up copying to userspace a number of bytes after the end of the string constant.

04e448d Tim Abbott 12 July 2009, 22:23:33 UTC vmlinux.lds.h: restructure BSS linker script macros The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and __bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro. Another problem with the current macros is that several architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before __bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that. mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start alignment). So fix this as well. I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.
