[PATCH] lockdep: i386 remove multi entry backtraces
Remove CONFIG_STACK_BACKTRACE_COLS.
This feature didnt work out: instead of making kernel debugging more
efficient, it produces much harder to read stacktraces! Check out this trace
for example:
- introduce and use __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED for array initializations,
to pass in the name string of locks, used by debugging

- generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
- got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from
the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype
hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway.
- ability to do silent tests
- check lock freeing in vfree too.
- more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
turn off more expensive debugging features.
There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks'
stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock
classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first
checks whether we are holding a lock already)

[PATCH] lockdep: add disable/enable_irq_lockdep() API
lockdep wants to use the disable_irq()/enable_irq() prototypes before they are
provied by the platform's asm/irq.h. So move them out of the
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS define - all architectures have a common prototype for
this anyway.
Add special lockdep variants of irq line disabling/enabling.
These should be used for locking constructs that know that a particular irq
context which is disabled, and which is the only irq-context user of a lock,
that it's safe to take the lock in the irq-disabled section without disabling
hardirqs.

The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all
related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma resources from
interrupt context. The initial solution was to use schedule_work() to push
this into process context, but this caused further problems: for example the
current floppy driver in -mm2 is totally broken and all floppy commands time
out with an error. (as reported by Barry K. Nathan)
This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic IRQ and
DMA allocation/freeing. I doubt it made much sense back in the heydays of
floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then we didnt handle
those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes near zero sense.
So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing: allocate IRQ
and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at module removal time.
Dont try to release while the driver is operational. This, besides making the
floppy driver functional again has an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are
finally persistent and visible in /proc/interrupts:
6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy
Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off
timeouts, etc. - and everything seems to be working fine.

[PATCH] vt: Decrement ref count of the VT backend on deallocation
When a VT is newly allocated, the module reference count of the backend
will be incremented. This should be balanced by a module_put() when this
VT is deallocated.
Fix check for bad address; use macro instead of open-coding two checks.
Taken from RHEL4 kernel update.
From: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>
For background, the BAD_ADDR() macro should return TRUE if the address is
TASK_SIZE, because that's the lowest address that is *not* valid for
user-space mappings. The macro was correct in binfmt_aout.c but was wrong
for the "equal to" case in binfmt_elf.c. There were two in-line validations
of user-space addresses in binfmt_elf.c, which have been appropriately
converted to use the corrected BAD_ADDR() macro in the patch you posted
yesterday. Note that the size checks against TASK_SIZE are okay as coded.
The additional changes that I propose are below. These are in the error
paths for bad ELF entry addresses once load_elf_binary() has already
committed to exec'ing the new image (following the tearing down of the
task's original address space).
The 1st hunk deals with the interp-side of the outer "if". There were two
problems here. The printk() should be removed because this path can be
triggered at will by a bogus interpreter image created and used by a
malicious user. Further, the error code should not be ENOEXEC, because that
causes the loop in search_binary_handler() to continue trying other exec
handlers (twice, in fact). But it's too late for this to work correctly,
because the user address space has already been torn down, and an exec()
failure cannot be returned to the user code because the code no longer
exists. The only recovery is to force a SIGSEGV, but it's best to terminate
the search loop immediately. I somewhat arbitrarily chose EINVAL as a
fallback error code, but any error returned by load_elf_interp() will
override that (but this value will never be seen by user-space).
The 2nd hunk deals with the non-interp-side of the outer "if". There were
two problems here as well. The SIGSEGV needs to be forced, because a prior
sigaction() syscall might have set the associated disposition to SIG_IGN.
And the ENOEXEC should be changed to EINVAL as described above.
[PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/O
It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file
backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and
so the page allocator has to go off-node.
This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and
reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs
when we run out of memory in a zone.
The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is
used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have
almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped
pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the
unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will
remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there
are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles.
With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in
zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes
to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again.
The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30
second timeout.

The patch below should fix the deadlock, albeit I suspect it's not the
"right" fix; the right fix may well be to move the rx processing in bcm43xx
to softirq context. [it's debatable, ipw2200 hit this exact same bug; at
some point it's better to bite the bullet and move this to the common layer
as my patch below does]
Make the nl_table_lock irq-safe; it's taken for read in various netlink
functions, including functions that several wireless drivers (ipw2200,
bcm43xx) want to call from hardirq context.
The deadlock was found by the lock validator.

[PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irq
The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_
flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags.
This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit
field values.
This patch:
Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to
IRQF_ . This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace
and allows to remove the architecture dependencies.
SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely.
The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be
removed after a 6 month grace period.
