ftrace: allow archs to preform pre and post process for code modification
This patch creates the weak functions: ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare
and ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process that are called before and
after the stop machine is called to modify the kernel text.
If the arch needs to do pre or post processing, it only needs to define
these functions.

x86: use the right protections for split-up pagetables
Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel
ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD
itself having been marked read-only as well in
split_large_page().
The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the
reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard
(and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE.
The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and
incorrect concept at the page table level - because the
pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot
'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any
mixture of protections.
With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections
get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching
or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined
protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive
(or permissive) protections will control it.
Also update the comment.
This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible
problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to
trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really
large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing.
[ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing
the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not
realized back then. ]

More user reports show that the overwriting of the EEPROM is not
triggered by using this driver but by installing Linux, and that the
installation of any other operating system (even one without any CMI8788
driver) has the same effect. In other words, the presence of this
driver does not have any effect on the occurrence of the error. (So
far, the available evidence seems to point to a BIOS bug.)
Furthermore, it turns out that the EEPROM chip is protected against
stray write commands by the command format and by requiring a separate
write-enable command, so the error scenario in the previous commit (that
SPI writes can be misinterpreted as an EEPROM write command) is not even
theoretically possible.
The mixer control that was removed as a consequence of the previous
commit can only be partially emulated in userspace, which also means it
cannot be seen be the in-kernel OSS API emulation, so it is better to
revert that change.

If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring

stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and
is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never
end. The result is a lockup of the box.
This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace

that constantly filled the buffer.

floppy: request and release only the ports we actually use
The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this

This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
actually uses. It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
io-ports list so they're all in one place now.
but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
0x3f3.
Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource. The PNP system driver
reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
0x3f2-0x3f5 later.
Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
2.6.11 and 2.6.22. His PNPBIOS reports these devices:
$ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources # floppy device
PNP0700

So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.
This patch:
Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.
This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h
After this,
if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
-> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
-> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
else
-> per-arch back end function will be called.
The cause is after alloc_super() and then retry, an old entry in list
fs_supers is found, so grab_super(old) is called, but both functions hold
s_umount lock:
struct super_block *sget(...)
{
...
retry:
spin_lock(&sb_lock);
if (test) {
list_for_each_entry(old, &type->fs_supers, s_instances) {
if (!test(old, data))
continue;
if (!grab_super(old)) <--- 2nd: down_write(&old->s_umount);
goto retry;
if (s)
destroy_super(s);
return old;
}
}
if (!s) {
spin_unlock(&sb_lock);
s = alloc_super(type); <--- 1th: down_write(&s->s_umount)
if (!s)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
goto retry;
}
...
}
It seems like a false positive, and seems like VFS but not cgroup needs to
be fixed.
Peter said:
We can simply put the new s_umount instance in a but lockdep doesn't
particularly cares about subclass order.
If there's any issue with the callers of sget() assuming the s_umount lock
being of sublcass 0, then there is another annotation we can use to fix
that, but lets not bother with that if this is sufficient.

atmel_serial might lose modem status change
I found a problem of handling of modem status of atmel_serial driver.
With the commit 1ecc26 ("atmel_serial: split the interrupt handler"),
handling of modem status signal was splitted into two parts. The
atmel_tasklet_func() compares new status with irq_status_prev, but
irq_status_prev is not correct if signal status was changed while the port
is closed.
Here is a sequence to cause problem:
1. Remote side sets CTS (and DSR).
2. Local side close the port.
3. Local side clears RTS and DTR.
4. Remote side clears CTS and DSR.
5. Local side reopen the port. hw_stopped becomes 1.
6. Local side sets RTS and DTR.
7. Remote side sets CTS and DSR.
Then CTS change interrupt can be received, but since CTS bit in
irq_status_prev and new status is same, uart_handle_cts_change() will not
be called (so hw_stopped will not be cleared, i.e. cannot send any data).
I suppose irq_status_prev should be initialized at somewhere in open
sequence.
Itai Levi pointed out that we need to initialize atmel_port->irq_status
as well here. His analysis is as follows:
> Regarding the second part of the patch (which resets irq_status_prev),
> it turns out that both versions of the patch (mine and Atsushi's)

mm: task dirty accounting fix
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for
cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty).
Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is
called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback.
So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to
exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices.
That is the second time this has been broken recently. The previous
time was fixed by
Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created
(we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition
scan finds nothing. It is not until the device is opened that
another partition scan happens and finds something.
So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is
being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not.
However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number
even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it
will successfully find the partition.
I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to
be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible
(at the time). I don't remember the details, and could possibly
revisit it. However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt
could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.
The above commit added WRITE_SYNC and switched various places to using
that for committing writes that will be waited upon immediately after
submission. However, this causes a performance regression with AS and CFQ
for ext3 at least, since sync_dirty_buffer() will submit some writes with
WRITE_SYNC while ext3 has sumitted others dependent writes without the sync
flag set. This causes excessive anticipation/idling in the IO scheduler
because sync and async writes get interleaved, causing a big performance
regression for the below test case (which is meant to simulate sqlite
like behaviour).

[ARM] 5401/1: Orion: fix edge triggered GPIO interrupt support
The GPIO interrupts can be configured as either level triggered or edge
triggered, with a default of level triggered. When an edge triggered
interrupt is requested, the gpio_irq_set_type method is called which
currently switches the given IRQ descriptor between two struct irq_chip
instances: orion_gpio_irq_level_chip and orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip. This
happens via __setup_irq() which also calls irq_chip_set_defaults() to
assign default methods to uninitialized ones. The problem is that
irq_chip_set_defaults() is called before the irq_chip reference is
switched, leaving the new irq_chip (orion_gpio_irq_edge_chip in this
case) with uninitialized methods such as chip->startup() causing a kernel
oops.
Many solutions are possible, such as making irq_chip_set_defaults() global
and calling it from gpio_irq_set_type(), or calling __irq_set_trigger()
before irq_chip_set_defaults() in __setup_irq(). But those require
modifications to the generic IRQ code which might have adverse effect on
other architectures, and that would still be a fragile arrangement.
Manually copying the missing methods from within gpio_irq_set_type()
would be really ugly and it would break again the day new methods with
automatic defaults are added.
A better solution is to have a single irq_chip instance which can deal
with both edge and level triggered interrupts. It is also a good idea
to switch the IRQ handler instead, as the edge IRQ handler allows for
one edge IRQ event to be queued as the IRQ is actually masked only when
that second IRQ is received, at which point the hardware can queue an
additional IRQ event, making edge triggered interrupts a bit more
reliable.
