sparc64: Fix bit twiddling in sparc_pmu_enable_event().
There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().
Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.
However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.
That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .
The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

qeth: fix deadlock between recovery and bonding driver
The recovery thread, when failing, tears down the respective interface. To do
so, it needs to obtain the rtnl lock first, as the interface configuration is
changed.
If another process tries to modify an interface setting at the same time, that
process can obtain the rtnl lock first, but the respective callback in the qeth
driver will block until recovery has completed - which cannot happen since the
calling process already obtained it.
In one particular case, the bonding driver acquired the rtnl lock to modify the
card's MAC address, while the recovery failed at the same time due to the card
being removed. Hence qeth_l2_set_mac_address (implicitly holding the rtnl lock)
was waiting on qeth_l2_recover, which deadlocked when waiting on the rtnl lock.
This patch uses rtnl_trylock instead of rtnl_lock in the recovery thread. If the
lock cannot be obtained, the interface will be left up, but the card state
remains in CARD_STATE_RECOVER, which will prevent any further activities on the
card.

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
This creates a new thread, which falls through to the ret_from_fork
assembly, with r4 set NULL and r5 set to kernel_init. You can see
this in your oops dump register set - r5 is 0xc0344555, which is the
address of kernel_init plus 1 which marks the function as Thumb code.
Now, let's look at this code a little closer - this is what the
disassembly looks like:
This code was introduced in 9fff2fa0db911 (arm: switch to saner
kernel_execve() semantics). I have marked one instruction, and it's
the significant one - I'll come back to that later.
Eventually, having had a successful call to kernel_execve(), kernel_init()
returns zero.
In returning, it uses the value in 'lr' which was set by the instruction
I marked above. Unfortunately, this causes lr to contain 0xc000d18e -
an even address. This switches the ISA to ARM on return but with a non
word aligned PC value.
So, what do we end up executing? Well, not the instructions above - yes
the opcodes, but they don't mean the same thing in ARM mode. In ARM mode,
it looks like this instead:
I have included more above, because it's relevant. The PSR flags which
we can see in the oops dump are nZCv, so Z and C are set.
All the above ARM instructions are not executed, except for two. c000d1a0, which has no writeback, and writes below the current stack
pointer (and that data is lost when we take the next exception.) The
other instruction which is executed is c000d1ac, which takes us to...
0xc03493dc. However, remember that bit 1 of the PC got set. So that
makes the PC value 0xc03493de.
And that value is the value we find in the oops dump for PC. What is
the instruction here when interpreted in ARM mode?
and there we have our undefined instruction (remember that the 'never'
condition code, 0xf, has been deprecated and is now always executed as
it is now being used for additional instructions.)
This path also nicely explains the state of the stack we see in the oops
dump too.
The above is a consistent and sane story for how we got to the oops
dump, which all stems from the instruction at 0xc000d18a being wrong.

ARM: config: make sure that platforms are ordered by option string
The large platform selection choice should be sorted by option string
so it's easy to find the platform you're looking for. Fix the few
options which are out of this order.
Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
This is a pet peeve of mine. Any time there's a long list of items
(header file inclusions, kconfig entries, array initalisers, etc) and
someone wants to add a new item, they *always* go and stick it at the
end of the list.
Guys, don't do this. Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen
position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list.
lets sort all our select statements alphanumerically. This commit was
created by the following perl:
while (<>) {
while (/\\\s*$/) {
$_ .= <>;
}
undef %selects if /^\s*config\s+/;
if (/^\s+select\s+(\w+).*/) {
if (defined($selects{$1})) {
if ($selects{$1} eq $_) {
print STDERR "Warning: removing duplicated $1 entry\n";
} else {
print STDERR "Error: $1 differently selected\n".
"\tOld: $selects{$1}\n".
"\tNew: $_\n";
exit 1;
}
}
$selects{$1} = $_;
next;
}
if (%selects and (/^\s*$/ or /^\s+help/ or /^\s+---help---/ or
/^endif/ or /^endchoice/)) {
foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) {
print "$selects{$k}";
}
undef %selects;
}
print;
}
if (%selects) {
foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) {
print "$selects{$k}";
}
}
and they are identical duplicates, hence the shrinkage in the diffstat
of two lines.

vfs: embed struct filename inside of names_cache allocation if possible
In the common case where a name is much smaller than PATH_MAX, an extra
allocation for struct filename is unnecessary. Before allocating a
separate one, try to embed the struct filename inside the buffer first. If
it turns out that that's not long enough, then fall back to allocating a
separate struct filename and redoing the copy.

audit: make audit_inode take struct filename
Keep a pointer to the audit_names "slot" in struct filename.
Have all of the audit_inode callers pass a struct filename ponter to
audit_inode instead of a string pointer. If the aname field is already
populated, then we can skip walking the list altogether and just use it
directly.

vfs: make path_openat take a struct filename pointer
...and fix up the callers. For do_file_open_root, just declare a
struct filename on the stack and fill out the .name field. For
do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its
callers to call it appropriately.
For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn
filp_open into a wrapper around it.

audit: allow audit code to satisfy getname requests from its names_list
Currently, if we call getname() on a userland string more than once,
we'll get multiple copies of the string and multiple audit_names
records.
Add a function that will allow the audit_names code to satisfy getname
requests using info from the audit_names list, avoiding a new allocation
and audit_names records.

vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.
