74084d33cb V4L/DVB (9355): de-BKL cafe_ccic.c
Remove lock_kernel() call from cafe_ccic.c

Commit d56dc61265 added lock_kernel()
calls to cafe_ccic.c.  But that driver was written with proper locking
and does not need the BKL, so take it back out.

uvd is equal to NULL during most of ibmcam_probe. Due to that, an OOPS is
generated at dev_info. This patch replaces uvd->dev->dev to dev->dev

3b37a15c2d V4L/DVB (9346): Optimization: Enable gate in a symmetric/disciplined way,
rather than implementing different ways leading to confusion.

This allows multiple gate_enable/disable's in the tuner_read/write
functions, thereby lesser number of I/O operations throughout,
eventually leading to better results. As a side effect demods that
detect the STOP bit for auto closing of the gate can be avoided, thereby
a very minimal gain in disabling the auto detect feature as well.

5d5254f0d3 timers: handle HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED correctly from softirq context
Impact: fix incorrect locking triggered during hotplug-intense stress-tests

While migrating the the CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED timers during a cpu-offline,
we queue them on the cb_pending list, so that they won't go
stale.

Thus, when the callbacks of the timers run from the softirq context,
they could run into potential deadlocks, since these callbacks
assume that they're running with irq's disabled, thereby annoying
lockdep!

Fix this by emulating hardirq context while running these callbacks from
the hrtimer softirq.

15e6cb3673 tracing: add a tracer to catch execution time of kernel functions
Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls

This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
measure the execution time of the kernel functions.

The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
nanoseconds.

- v3:

- HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return
  should enable it.
- ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
- Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c
- Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback)
- Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion.
- Minor changes...

caf4b323b0 tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing
Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing

Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.

This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.

The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.

Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.

For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

This patch replaces most of the BUG_ONs in the ring_buffer code with

One BUG_ON remains in the code, and that is because it detects a
bad pointer passed in by the calling function, and not a bug by
the ring buffer code itself.

The ftrace_special is used to help debug areas of the kernel.
Because of this, if it is put in certain locations, the fact that
it allows recursion can become a problem if the kernel developer
using does not realize that.

This patch changes ftrace_special to not allow recursion into itself
to make it more robust.

It also changes from preempt disable interrupts disable to prevent

Other DRM drivers probably want this treatment as well, but I'm applying it

now so that each driver has its own pci id list header in its own directory.

19b723218b libata: fix last_reset timestamp handling
ehc->last_reset is used to ensure that resets are not issued too
close to each other.  It's initialized to jiffies minus one minute
on EH entry.  However, when new links are initialized after PMP is
probed, new links have zero for this timestamp resulting in long wait
depending on the current jiffies.

This patch makes last_set considered iff ATA_EHI_DID_RESET is set, in
which case last_reset is always initialized.  As an added precaution,
WARN_ON() is added so that warning is printed if last_reset is
in future.

This problem is spotted and debugged by Shane Huang.

bd95e0a4a6 i915: Remove racy delayed vblank swap ioctl.
When userland detected that this ioctl was supported (by version number check),
it used it in a racy way -- dispatch delayed swap, wait for vblank, continue
rendering. As there was no mechanism for it to wait for the swap to finish,
sometimes it would render before the swap and garbage would be displayed on
the screen.

By removing the ioctl and returning -EINVAL, userland returns to its previous,
correct rendering path of waiting for a vblank then dispatching a swap.  The
only path that could have used this ioctl correctly was page flipping, which
relied on only one client running and emitting wait-for-vblank-before-rendering
in the command stream.  That path also falls back correctly, at the performance
cost of not being able to queue up rendering before the flip occurs.

ad474caca3 fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure ->signal can't be freed under rq->lock
Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load

This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far.

Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be
called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This
means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just
check ->signal != NULL.

Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock)
before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under
task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care
about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK.

Thanks to Ingo who nacked my previous buggy patch.

df02c6ff2e dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handling
Before commit b6c40d68ff ("net: only
invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), the dsa driver could
sort-of get away with only fiddling with the master interface's
allmulti/promisc counts in ->change_rx_flags() and not touching them
in ->open() or ->stop().  After this commit (note that it was merged
almost simultaneously with the dsa patches, which is why this wasn't
caught initially), the breakage that was already there became more
apparent.

Since it makes no sense to keep the master interface's allmulti or
promisc count pinned for a slave interface that is down, copy the vlan
driver's sync logic (which does exactly what we want) over to dsa to
fix this.

5cd33db212 net: fix setting of skb->tail in skb_recycle_check()
Since skb_reset_tail_pointer() reads skb->data, we need to set
skb->data before calling skb_reset_tail_pointer().  This was causing
spurious skb_over_panic()s from skb_put() being called on a recycled
skb that had its skb->tail set to beyond where it should have been.

Bug report from Peter van Valderen <linux@ddcrew.com>.

b971e7ac83 net: fix /proc/net/snmp as memory corruptor
icmpmsg_put() can happily corrupt kernel memory, using a static
table and forgetting to reset an array index in a loop.

Remove the static array since its not safe without proper locking.

4143c5cb36 ring-buffer: prevent infinite looping on time stamping
Impact: removal of unnecessary looping

The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code
from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it
detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again.

The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace.
The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between
this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time,
and cause an infinite loop.

Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will
produce a warning and disable the ring buffer.

The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform
some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself).

Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry.
If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before
the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will
be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the
interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so
one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is
still preserved in the buffer.

With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt
made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply
make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or
tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop.

bf5e6519b8 ftrace: disable tracing on resize
Impact: fix for bug on resize

This patch addresses the bug found here:

 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11996

When ftrace converted to the new unified trace buffer, the resizing of
the buffer was not protected as much as it was originally. If tracing
is performed while the resize occurs, then the buffer can be corrupted.

This patch disables all ftrace buffer modifications before a resize
takes place.

Impact: nohz powersavings and wakeup regression

commit fb02fbc14d (NOHZ: restart tick
device from irq_enter()) causes a serious wakeup regression.

While the patch is correct it does not take into account that spurious
wakeups happen on x86. A fix for this issue is available, but we just
revert to the .27 behaviour and let long running softirqs screw
themself.

Disable it for now.
