Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses
as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce
proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an
inode bad).
Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by
number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem.
iget_locked() should be used instead. A new function is added in an earlier
patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it
and release it should the get routine fail. Mark iget() and read_inode() as
being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation.
Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function
becomes an internal iget function, for example the following:
void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode)
{
...
}
would be changed into something like:
struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino)
{
struct inode *inode;
int ret;
inode = iget_locked(sb, ino);
if (!inode)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW))
return inode;
...
unlock_new_inode(inode);
return inode;
error:
iget_failed(inode);
return ERR_PTR(ret);
}
and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example:
ret = -EINVAL;
inode = iget(sb, ino);
if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode))
goto error;
becomes:
inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino);
if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
ret = PTR_ERR(inode);
goto error;
}
Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called. The error returned by
thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.

Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a
dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an
OOM-killing. Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu,
oom_adj score, and name.
This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which
rogue task caused it.
It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several
thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping
data they may not desire.
If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist
shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same
cgroup.

NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open
more than 1024*1024 handles.
Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high
value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process.
Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential
exhaust.
This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to
1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload

The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.
This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.
Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.
The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.
For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.
>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:
pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):
Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is
recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
is now different.
pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):
Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered.
pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):
Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.
>From user mode:
Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for
automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
its parameter requirements in the following way:
To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
network_throughput]
As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is
"process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
call.
To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
value to the open device node. This translates to a
pm_qos_update_requirement call.
To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
node.

Smack is the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel.
Smack implements mandatory access control (MAC) using labels
attached to tasks and data containers, including files, SVIPC,
and other tasks. Smack is a kernel based scheme that requires
an absolute minimum of application support and a very small
amount of configuration data.
Smack uses extended attributes and
provides a set of general mount options, borrowing technics used
elsewhere. Smack uses netlabel for CIPSO labeling. Smack provides
a pseudo-filesystem smackfs that is used for manipulation of
system Smack attributes.
The patch, patches for ls and sshd, a README, a startup script,
and x86 binaries for ls and sshd are also available on
http://www.schaufler-ca.com
Development has been done using Fedora Core 7 in a virtual machine
environment and on an old Sony laptop.
Smack provides mandatory access controls based on the label attached
to a task and the label attached to the object it is attempting to
access. Smack labels are deliberately short (1-23 characters) text
strings. Single character labels using special characters are reserved
for system use. The only operation applied to Smack labels is equality
comparison. No wildcards or expressions, regular or otherwise, are
used. Smack labels are composed of printable characters and may not
include "/".
A file always gets the Smack label of the task that created it.
Smack defines and uses these labels:
"*" - pronounced "star"
"_" - pronounced "floor"
"^" - pronounced "hat"
"?" - pronounced "huh"
The access rules enforced by Smack are, in order:
1. Any access requested by a task labeled "*" is denied.
2. A read or execute access requested by a task labeled "^"
is permitted.
3. A read or execute access requested on an object labeled "_"
is permitted.
4. Any access requested on an object labeled "*" is permitted.
5. Any access requested by a task on an object with the same
label is permitted.
6. Any access requested that is explicitly defined in the loaded
rule set is permitted.
7. Any other access is denied.
Rules may be explicitly defined by writing subject,object,access
triples to /smack/load.
Smack rule sets can be easily defined that describe Bell&LaPadula
sensitivity, Biba integrity, and a variety of interesting
configurations. Smack rule sets can be modified on the fly to
accommodate changes in the operating environment or even the time
of day.
Some practical use cases:
Hierarchical levels. The less common of the two usual uses
for MLS systems is to define hierarchical levels, often
unclassified, confidential, secret, and so on. To set up smack
to support this, these rules could be defined:
C Unclass rx
S C rx
S Unclass rx
TS S rx
TS C rx
TS Unclass rx
A TS process can read S, C, and Unclass data, but cannot write it.
An S process can read C and Unclass. Note that specifying that
TS can read S and S can read C does not imply TS can read C, it
has to be explicitly stated.
Non-hierarchical categories. This is the more common of the
usual uses for an MLS system. Since the default rule is that a
subject cannot access an object with a different label no
access rules are required to implement compartmentalization.
A case that the Bell & LaPadula policy does not allow is demonstrated
with this Smack access rule:
A case that Bell&LaPadula does not allow that Smack does:
ESPN ABC r
ABC ESPN r
On my portable video device I have two applications, one that
shows ABC programming and the other ESPN programming. ESPN wants
to show me sport stories that show up as news, and ABC will
only provide minimal information about a sports story if ESPN
is covering it. Each side can look at the other's info, neither
can change the other. Neither can see what FOX is up to, which
is just as well all things considered.
Another case that I especially like:
SatData Guard w
Guard Publish w
A program running with the Guard label opens a UDP socket and
accepts messages sent by a program running with a SatData label.
The Guard program inspects the message to ensure it is wholesome
and if it is sends it to a program running with the Publish label.
This program then puts the information passed in an appropriate
place. Note that the Guard program cannot write to a Publish
file system object because file system semanitic require read as
well as write.
The four cases (categories, levels, mutual read, guardbox) here
are all quite real, and problems I've been asked to solve over
the years. The first two are easy to do with traditonal MLS systems
while the last two you can't without invoking privilege, at least
for a while.

Add vm.highmem_is_dirtyable toggle
A 32 bit machine with HIGHMEM64 enabled running DCC has an MMAPed file of
approximately 2Gb size which contains a hash format that is written
randomly by the dbclean process. On 2.6.16 this process took a few
minutes. With lowmem only accounting of dirty ratios, this takes about 12
hours of 100% disk IO, all random writes.
Include a toggle in /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable which can be set to 1 to
add the highmem back to the total available memory count.

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.
2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.
We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

Implement poll()/select() support through sysfs_notify() for some key
attributes which userspace might want to poll() or select() on.
In order to let userspace know poll()/select() support is available for an
attribute, the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface version is also bumped up.
Further changes that add poll()/select() capabilities to any pre-existing
attributes will also increment the sysfs interface version.

Handle some HKEY events that the firmware uses to report the reason for a
wake up, and to also notify that the system could go back to sleep (if it
woke up just to eject something from the bay, or to undock).
The driver will report the reason of the last wake up in the sysfs
attribute "wakeup_reason": 0 for "none, unknown, or standard ACPI wake up
event", 1 for "bay ejection request" and 2 for "undock request".
The firmware will also report if the operation that triggered the wake up
has been completed, by issuing an HKEY 0x3003 or 0x4003 event. If the
operation fails, no event is sent. When such a hotunplug sucessfull
notification is issued, the driver sets the attribute
"wakeup_hotunplug_complete" to 1.
While the firmware does tell us whether we are waking from a suspend or
hibernation scenario, the Linux way of hibernating makes this information
not reliable, and therefore it is not reported.
The idea is that if any of these attributes are non-zero, userspace might
want to do something at the end of the "wake up from sleep" procedures,
such as offering to send the machine back into sleep as soon as it is safe
to do so.

The NVRAM polling support for hot keys is reason enough to
bump up the version string. Do it.
Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>
Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
Older ThinkPad models do not export some of the hot keys over the
event-based ACPI hot key interface. For these models, one has to poll
the CMOS NVRAM to check the key state at a rate faster than the expected
rate at which the user might repeatedly press the same hot key.
This patch implements this functionality for many of the hotkeys in a
transparent way: hot keys will now Just Work, and the driver knows the
best approach (events or NVRAM polling) to employ, based on the
HKEY.MHKA ACPI method.
Also, the driver can turn off the polling when there are no users for
the hot keys that need such polling.
The NVRAM-based hot keys of the A3x series that have never been
implemented by later models are not supported, to avoid changes in the
keymap of the input devices that could cause headaches in the future.
There is a Kconfig option to avoid compiling the NVRAM polling code, as
it is not very small, and unlikely to be useful on any ThinkPad newer
than a T40, X31 or R52.
This feature is based on a previous effort by Richard Hughes.

The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what
is the difference between them? What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL,
LOW and CRITICAL, etc?
As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy
decisions in the kernel (or in hardware). This is the sort of decision that
should be made in userspace, not in the kernel.
If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated,
then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute;
however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing,
and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL
stubs.
The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL. The
OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's
removed from there as well.

Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches.
We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we
currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is
sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this
asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering
infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also
consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list.
A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry,
so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table
identifier, without having to scan all entries.
No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires.
Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by
ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found
in a chain when an insert is done.
Thus we keep a normal equilibrium.
This patch :
- renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t)
- Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit)
- Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :

This removes the pnp_resource_change use from the ALSA ISAPnP drivers. In
2.4 these were useful in providing an easy path to setting the resources,
but in 2.6 they retain function as a layering violation only.
This makes for a nice cleanup (-550 lines) of ALSA but moreover, ALSA is the
only remaining user of pnp_init_resource_table(), pnp_resource_change() and
pnp_manual_config_dev() (and, in fact, of 'struct pnp_resource_table') in
the tree outide of drivers/pnp itself meaning it makes for more cleanup
potential inside the PnP layer.

This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time).
This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.
Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.
This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.
Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay
writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate
diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these.
David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a
proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine,
with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger.
Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the
2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with
help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has
two problems.
First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while
some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically
problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly
well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and
based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which
would sort of work, but...
Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has.
It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly
or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence
that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus
locking outb.
Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such,
this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more
invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover
only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems
to fit that situation.
This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override
the DMI based choice again:
io_delay=<standard|alternate>
where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate"
port 0xed.
This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and
command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well.
This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using
the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem
as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the
udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also
fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI
based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot
code be.
The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already
and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the
problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z.
This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and
David P. Reed.

This patch makes uses of pread() and pwrite() in lguest launcher
to communicate the vcpu id to the lguest driver. The id is kept in
a thread variable, which means we'll span in the future, vcpus as
threads. But right now, only the infrastructure is out there.

Based upon the 2.4 kernel, the information presented in the
Documentation/mips/GT64120.README file is outdated. Worse,
the document contents are plain misleading nowadays because
the text mentions files and directories, which have been
deleted, moved or restructured for 2.6.
This patch removes the documentation, which is no more valid.

The journal checksum feature adds two new flags i.e
JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT and JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM.
JBD2_FEATURE_CHECKSUM flag indicates that the commit block contains the
checksum for the blocks described by the descriptor blocks.
Due to checksums, writing of the commit record no longer needs to be
synchronous. Now commit record can be sent to disk without waiting for
descriptor blocks to be written to disk. This behavior is controlled
using JBD2_FEATURE_ASYNC_COMMIT flag. Older kernels/e2fsck should not be
able to recover the journal with _ASYNC_COMMIT hence it is made
incompat.
The commit header has been extended to hold the checksum along with the
type of the checksum.
For recovery in pass scan checksums are verified to ensure the sanity
and completeness(in case of _ASYNC_COMMIT) of every transaction.

This patch adds support for new firmware.
Old firmware is still supported until July 2008.
To get new firmware, go to
ftp://ftp.linksys.com/opensourcecode/wrt150nv11/1.51.3/
and download the tarball. We don't have a smaller tarball, yet.
That will be fixed later.
You can extract firmware out of the "wl_ap.o" file contained
in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option
--unsupported to fwcutter.
Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will
be released soon.

This makes the new PID TX rate control algorithm the default instead of the
rc80211_simple rate control algorithm. The simple algorithm was flawed in
several ways: it wasn't responsive at all and didn't age the information it was
relying on properly. The PID algorithm allows us to tune characteristics such
as responsiveness by adjusting parameters and was found to generally behave
better.
The default algorithm can be overridden to select simple instead. Which
ever algorithm is the default is included as part of the mac80211
module automatically. The other algorithm (simple vs. pid) can
be selected for inclusion as well. If EMBEDDED is selected then
the choice is available to have no default specified and neither
algorithm included in mac80211. The default algorithm can be set
through a modparam.
While at it, mark rc80211-simple as deprecated, and schedule it
for removal.

This adds a socket option and signalling support for the case where the server
holds timewait state on closing the connection, as described in RFC 4340, 8.3.
Since holding timewait state at the server is the non-usual case, it is enabled
via a socket option. Documentation for this socket option has been added.
The setsockopt statement has been made resilient against different possible cases
of expressing boolean `true' values using a suggestion by Ian McDonald.

This patch addresses the following problems:
1. DCCP relies for its proper functioning on having at least one CCID module
enabled (as in TCP plugable congestion control). Currently it is possible to
disable both CCIDs and thus leave the DCCP module in a compiled, but entirely
non-functional state: no sockets can be created when no CCID is available.
Furthermore, the protocol is (again like TCP) not intended to be used without
CCIDs. Last, a non-empty CCID list is needed for doing CCID feature negotiation.
2. Internally the default CCID that is advertised by the Linux host is set to CCID2
(DCCPF_INITIAL_CCID in include/linux/dccp.h). Disabling CCID2 in the Kconfig
menu without changing the defaults leads to a failure `module not found' when
trying to load the dccp module (which internally tries to load the default CCID).
3. The specification (RFC 4340, sec. 10) treats CCID2 somewhat like a
`minimum common denominator'; the specification says that:
* "New connections start with CCID 2 for both endpoints"
* "A DCCP implementation intended for general use, such as an implementation in a
general-purpose operating system kernel, SHOULD implement at least CCID 2.
The intent is to make CCID 2 broadly available for interoperability [...]"
Providing CCID2 as minimum-required CCID (like Reno/Cubic in TCP) thus seems reasonable.
Hence this patch automatically selects CCID2 when DCCP is enabled. Documentation also added.
Discussions with Ian McDonald on this subject are gratefully acknowledged.
