up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing
hard to debug lockups.
So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by

This fixes an arcane bug that we think was a regression introduced
by commit b2b2cbc4b2. When a parent
ignores SIGCHLD (or uses SA_NOCLDWAIT), its children would self-reap
but they don't if it's using ptrace on them. When the parent thread
later exits and ceases to ptrace a child but leaves other live
threads in the parent's thread group, any zombie children are left
dangling. The fix makes them self-reap then, as they would have
done earlier if ptrace had not been in use.

This reverts the effect of commit f2cc3eb133
"do_wait: fix security checks". That change reverted the effect of commit
7324328446. The rationale for the original
commit still stands. The inconsistent treatment of children hidden by
ptrace was an unintended omission in the original change and in no way
invalidates its purpose.
This makes do_wait return the error returned by security_task_wait()
(usually -EACCES) in place of -ECHILD when there are some children the
caller would be able to wait for if not for the permission failure. A
permission error will give the user a clue to look for security policy
problems, rather than for mysterious wait bugs.

ptrace no longer fiddles with the children/sibling links, and the
old ptrace_children list is gone. Now ptrace, whether of one's own
children or another's via PTRACE_ATTACH, just uses the new ptraced
list instead.
There should be no user-visible difference that matters. The only
change is the order in which do_wait() sees multiple stopped
children and stopped ptrace attachees. Since wait_task_stopped()
was changed earlier so it no longer reorders the children list, we
already know this won't cause any new problems.

This breaks out the guts of do_wait into three subfunctions.
The control flow is less nonobvious without so much goto.

wait_consider_task contains the main work of the inner loop.

mmap writes and truncates from multiple processes. While the test is

ocfs2_get_block() because it sees a buffer to write which isn't allocated.

ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and ACPI describe the "possible resource settings" of
a device, i.e., the possibilities an OS bus driver has when it assigns
I/O port, MMIO, and other resources to the device.
PNP used to maintain this "possible resource setting" information in
one independent option structure and a list of dependent option
structures for each device. Each of these option structures had lists
of I/O, memory, IRQ, and DMA resources, for example:
dev
independent options
ind-io0 -> ind-io1 ...
ind-mem0 -> ind-mem1 ...
...
dependent option set 0
dep0-io0 -> dep0-io1 ...
dep0-mem0 -> dep0-mem1 ...
...
dependent option set 1
dep1-io0 -> dep1-io1 ...
dep1-mem0 -> dep1-mem1 ...
...
...
This data structure was designed for ISAPNP, where the OS configures
device resource settings by writing directly to configuration
registers. The OS can write the registers in arbitrary order much
like it writes PCI BARs.
However, for PNPBIOS and ACPI devices, the OS uses firmware interfaces
that perform device configuration, and it is important to pass the
desired settings to those interfaces in the correct order. The OS
learns the correct order by using firmware interfaces that return the
"current resource settings" and "possible resource settings," but the
option structures above doesn't store the ordering information.
This patch replaces the independent and dependent lists with a single
list of options. For example, a device might have possible resource
settings like this:
dev
options
ind-io0 -> dep0-io0 -> dep1->io0 -> ind-io1 ...
All the possible settings are in the same list, in the order they
come from the firmware "possible resource settings" list. Each entry
is tagged with an independent/dependent flag. Dependent entries also
have a "set number" and an optional priority value. All dependent
entries must be assigned from the same set. For example, the OS can
use all the entries from dependent set 0, or all the entries from
dependent set 1, but it cannot mix entries from set 0 with entries
from set 1.
Prior to this patch PNP didn't keep track of the order of this list,
and it assigned all independent options first, then all dependent
ones. Using the example above, that resulted in a "desired
configuration" list like this:
ind->io0 -> ind->io1 -> depN-io0 ...
instead of the list the firmware expects, which looks like this:
ind->io0 -> depN-io0 -> ind-io1 ...

The ISAPNP spec recommends that independent options precede
dependent ones, but this is not actually required. The current
ISAPNP code incorrectly puts such trailing independent options
at the end of the last dependent option list.
This patch fixes that bug by resetting the current option list
to the independent list when we see an "End Dependent Functions"
tag. PNPBIOS and PNPACPI handle this the same way.

When building resource options, ISAPNP and PNPBIOS set the priority

This patch adds an IORESOURCE_IRQ_OPTIONAL flag for use when
assigning resources to a device. If the flag is set and we are
unable to assign an IRQ to the device, we can leave the IRQ
disabled but allow the overall resource allocation to succeed.
Some devices request an IRQ, but can run without an IRQ
(possibly with degraded performance). This flag lets us run
the device without the IRQ instead of just leaving the
device disabled.
This is a reimplementation of this previous change by Rene
Herman <rene.herman@gmail.com>:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3b73a223661ed137c5d3d2635f954382e94f5a43
I reimplemented this for two reasons:
- to prepare for converting all resource options into a single linked
list, as opposed to the per-resource-type lists we have now, and
- to preserve the order and number of resource options.
In PNPBIOS and ACPI, we configure a device by giving firmware a
list of resource assignments. It is important that this list
has exactly the same number of resources, in the same order,
as the "template" list we got from the firmware in the first
place.
The problem of a sound card MPU401 being left disabled for want of
an IRQ was reported by Uwe Bugla <uwe.bugla@gmx.de>.
