The commit [26a6cb6c: ALSA: hda - Implement a poll loop for jacks as a module parameter] introduced the polling jack detection code, but it also moved the call of snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() in the resume path after resume/init ops call. This caused a regression when the jack state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save mode). Since the driver doesn't probe the new jack state but keeps using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains also as if the jack is still plugged. The fix is simply moving snd_hda_jack_set_dirty_all() to the original position. Reported-by: Manolo Díaz <diaz.manolo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

ring_buffer.c use to require declarations from trace.h, but these have moved to the generic header files. There's nothing in trace.h that ring_buffer.c requires. There's some headers that trace.h included that ring_buffer.c needs, but it's best that it includes them directly, and not include trace.h. Also, some things may use ring_buffer.c without having tracing configured. This removes the dependency that may come in the future. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing. The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version. As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening then it would just return without recording. This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one) not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all, because every function that was traced would think it recursed on itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag). Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption, set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit and happily continue to trace. As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version, there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around. And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing out on tracing NMI code. Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the preempt disable version be the default (and only version). Before this patch we had from running: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 12.028 Time: 11.945 Time: 11.925 Time: 11.964 Time: 12.002 Time: 11.910 Time: 11.944 Time: 11.929 Time: 11.941 Time: 11.924 (average: 11.9512) Now we have: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 10.285 Time: 10.407 Time: 10.243 Time: 10.372 Time: 10.380 Time: 10.198 Time: 10.272 Time: 10.354 Time: 10.248 Time: 10.253 (average: 10.3012) a 13.8% savings!

When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made: If arch does not support a ftrace feature: call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls... If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits. then this function calls... The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to check for recursion. Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls the global list function which calls the ftrace callback all three of these steps will do a recursion protection. There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already did. The recursion that we are protecting against will go through the same steps again. To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current check, then we know that the check was made by the previous caller, and we can skip the current check.

Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going further. But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return. Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi). A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions can still be traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There is lots of places that perform: op = rcu_dereference_raw(ftrace_control_list); while (op != &ftrace_list_end) { Add a helper macro to do this, and also optimize for a single entity. That is, gcc will optimize a loop for either no iterations or more than one iteration. But usually only a single callback is registered to the function tracer, thus the optimized case should be a single pass. to do this we now do: op = rcu_dereference_raw(list); do { [...] } while (likely(op = rcu_dereference_raw((op)->next)) && unlikely((op) != &ftrace_list_end)); An op is always registered (ftrace_list_end when no callbacks is registered), thus when a single callback is registered, the link list looks like: top => callback => ftrace_list_end => NULL. The likely(op = op->next) still must be performed due to the race of removing the callback, where the first op assignment could equal ftrace_list_end. In that case, the op->next would be NULL. But this is unlikely (only happens in a race condition when removing the callback). But it is very likely that the next op would be ftrace_list_end, unless more than one callback has been registered. This tells gcc what the most common case is and makes the fast path with the least amount of branches. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The test that checks function recursion does things differently if the arch does not support all ftrace features. But that really doesn't make a difference with how the test runs, and either way the count variable should be 2 at the end. Currently the test wrongly fails for archs that don't support all the ftrace features. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There's a race condition between the setting of a new tracer and the update of the max trace buffers (the swap). When a new tracer is added, it sets current_trace to nop_trace before disabling the old tracer. At this moment, if the old tracer uses update_max_tr(), the update may trigger the warning against !current_trace->use_max-tr, as nop_trace doesn't have that set. As update_max_tr() requires that interrupts be disabled, we can add a check to see if current_trace == nop_trace and bail if it does. Then when disabling the current_trace, set it to nop_trace and run synchronize_sched(). This will make sure all calls to update_max_tr() have completed (it was called with interrupts disabled). As a clean up, this commit also removes shrinking and recreating the max_tr buffer if the old and new tracers both have use_max_tr set. The old way use to always shrink the buffer, and then expand it for the next tracer. This is a waste of time. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This reverts commit eccf2979. The reason is that it broke TI WiLink shared transport on Panda. Also, callback functions should not be added to board files anymore, so revert to implementing the power functions in the driver itself.

Commit 083b804c ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order. While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order. Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool. An async worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending list, which kept the executing lists sorted. The conversion to workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async just schedules the work item. The queueing and dispatching of such work items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the executing list. So, depending on which worker reaches that point earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry with larger cookie before one with smaller one. This broke __lowest_in_progress(). running->domain may not be properly sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list when not empty. Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine the lowest cookie. Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy. We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution starts. There's no reason to distinguish pending and running. They behave the same for synchronization purposes.

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee does SAVE_REST again. set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the logic. As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace() call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths. Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before access_process_vm(). While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

The kernel's internal definition of ELF_NGREG uses struct pt_regs, which means that we disagree with userspace on the size of coredumps since glibc correctly uses the user-visible struct user_pt_regs. This patch fixes our ELF_NGREG definition to use struct user_pt_regs and introduces our own ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS to convert between the user and kernel structure definitions.

This patch (as1642) adds an ehci->priv field for private use by EHCI platform drivers. The space was provided some time ago, but it didn't have a name. Until now none of the platform drivers has used this private space, but that's about to change in the next patch of this series.
