A nasty compile error: In file included from security/keys/internal.h:16, from security/keys/sysctl.c:14: include/linux/key-ui.h: In function 'key_permission': include/linux/key-ui.h:51: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct task_struct' apparently the compiler has decided that it needs to know sizeof(task_struct) so that it can add zero to a task_struct* (which is rather dumb of it). Getting task_struct in scope in these deeply-nested headers is scary-looking, so let's just remove the "+ 0".

Markers do not mix well with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU because it uses preempt_disable/enable() and not rcu_read_lock/unlock for minimal intrusiveness. We would need call_sched and sched_barrier primitives. Currently, the modification (connection and disconnection) of probes from markers requires changes to the data structure done in RCU-style : a new data structure is created, the pointer is changed atomically, a quiescent state is reached and then the old data structure is freed. The quiescent state is reached once all the currently running preempt_disable regions are done running. We use the call_rcu mechanism to execute kfree() after such quiescent state has been reached. However, the new CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU version of call_rcu and rcu_barrier does not guarantee that all preempt_disable code regions have finished, hence the race. The "proper" way to do this is to use rcu_read_lock/unlock, but we don't want to use it to minimize intrusiveness on the traced system. (we do not want the marker code to call into much of the OS code, because it would quickly restrict what can and cannot be instrumented, such as the scheduler). The temporary fix, until we get call_rcu_sched and rcu_barrier_sched in mainline, is to use synchronize_sched before each call_rcu calls, so we wait for the quiescent state in the system call code path. It will slow down batch marker enable/disable, but will make sure the race is gone. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Acked-by: Paul E.

Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine. This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following: # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile The kernel version is not supported. The created dumpfile may be incomplete. _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node. makedumpfile Failed. # The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data. If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly. To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: "Eric W.

NBD does not protect the nbd_device's socket from becoming NULL during receives. This closes a race with the NBD_CLEAR_SOCK ioctl (nbd-client -d) setting the nbd_device's socket to NULL right before NBD calls sock_xmit.

Strange chars appear on the serial port when a printk and a printf happens at the same time. This is caused by the pdc sending chars while atmel_console_write (called from printk) is executing Concurent access of uart and console to the same port leads to corrupted data to be transmitted, so disable tx dma (PDC) while writing to the console.

I found a problem related to losing data during pdc transmission in atmel_serial: connect ttyS1 with ttyS2 using a loopback cable, send 30 byte of packet from one to the other and waiting for 30 byte. On the other side just read and echo the data received. We always call atmel_tx_dma() from the tasklet regardless of what interrupt triggered it.

Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install, because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h. This problem was introduced by commit fb56dbb3 Author: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> Date: Sun Dec 2 10:50:06 2007 +0200 KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM Currently, make headers_check barfs due to <asm/kvm.h>, which <linux/kvm.h> includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion <asm/kvm.h>s, export kvm. only if the arch actually supports it. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com> which makes this an 2.6.25 regression. One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y. If unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides asm/kvm.h on all architectures.

Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most machines have less than 4G. So if you do: if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT)) dma = 1 that will translate to: if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) dma = 1 So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA allocations and isa pooling operations. Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn. I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).
