oprofile: disable write access to oprofilefs while profiler is running
Oprofile counters are setup when profiling is disabled. Thus, writing
to oprofilefs has no immediate effect. Changes are updated only after
oprofile is reenabled.
To keep userland and kernel states synchronized, we now allow
configuration of oprofile only if profiling is disabled. In this case
it checks if the profiler is running and then disables write access to
oprofilefs by returning -EBUSY. The change should be backward
compatible with current oprofile userland daemon.

bdi: Fix warnings in __mark_inode_dirty for /dev/zero and friends
Inodes of devices such as /dev/zero can get dirty for example via
utime(2) syscall or due to atime update. Backing device of such inodes
(zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus
__mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied
against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a
good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes
in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem
inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these
inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so
far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi
points to a non-trivial backing device or not.
Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /.
There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this
filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0"
after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled
with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that
gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16".
Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.

is put forward to power down phy if no usb cable is connected,

1), phy is not into work state if usb cable is connected
with PC during poweron, so musb device mode is not usable
in such case, follows the reasons:
-twl4030_phy_resume is not called, so
regulators are not enabled
i2c access are not enabled
usb mode not configurated
2), The kernel warings[1] of regulators 'unbalanced disables'
is caused if poweron without usb cable connected
with PC or b-device.
This patch fixes the two issues above:
-power down phy only if no usb cable is connected with PC
and b-device
-do phy initialization(via __twl4030_phy_resume) if usb cable
is connected with PC(vbus event) or another b-device(ID event) in
twl4030_usb_probe.
This patch also doesn't put VUSB3V1 LDO into active mode in

Commit 4969c1192d15 ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to
be incomplete. There's a race, not very much less likely than the
original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that
the swapcache page's swap has not changed.
Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably
could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on
swapoff+swapon.
A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and
comes through the lock_page(page1).
B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does
page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but
for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon.
A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the
swap page1 (another reference to swap1). Unlocks the page1 (but B
doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte.
C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap
page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed.
kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some
pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B,
and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C. But does not
immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference),
leaving it in swap cache for now.
B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes.
Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been
given the swap1 which page1 used to have. So B proceeds to insert page1
into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite
different from what A wrote there.
B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.

Coda: mount hangs because of missed REQ_WRITE rename
Coda's REQ_* defines were renamed to avoid clashes with the block layer
(commit 4aeefdc69f7b: "coda: fixup clash with block layer REQ_*

However one was missed and response messages are no longer matched with
requests and waiting threads are no longer woken up. This patch fixes
this.

alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signals
Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
more signals are pending. It leads to quite a few unpleasant
inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
unblocks them. We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
as well. If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
the second signal is blocked again. On everything else we
get both delivered consistently.
It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
is prevention of double syscall restart. Fortunately, the
idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...
Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
else both are always set.
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int had1, had2;
void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; }
void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; }
main()
{
sigset_t set1, set2;
sigemptyset(&set1);
sigemptyset(&set2);
sigaddset(&set2, 1);
sigaddset(&set2, 2);
signal(1, f1);
signal(2, f2);
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL);
raise(1);
raise(2);
sigsuspend(&set1);
printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2);
}

alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracing
The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.
What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
registers (e.g. by syscall restart). That's fine, but... the entire
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall. And the normal
path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.
So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
syscalls. And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
the following
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void f(int sig) {}
main()
{
signal(SIGHUP, f);
raise(SIGHUP);
write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
}
and watch the show. The
close(1) = 405
in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
__NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
405 there).
The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value. Since we are setting the
switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
undo_switch_stack() and return. Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check. The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend()
Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
return value. Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.
results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...
Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
kernel/signal.c now.

alpha: Shift perf event pending work earlier in timer interrupt
Pending work from the performance event subsystem is executed in
the timer interrupt. This patch shifts the call to
perf_event_do_pending() before the call to update_process_times()
as the latter may call back into the perf event subsystem and it
is prudent to have the pending work executed first.
