There are many uses of printk_once(KERN_<level>, so add pr_<level>_once macros to avoid printk_once(KERN_<level> pr_fmt(fmt). Add an #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK for print_hex_dump and static inline void functions for the #else cases to reduce embedded code size. Neaten and organize the rest of the code.

dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation, kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too. But if there is contention on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be lost. This patch solves this issue with RCU. Because kmsg_dump() only read the list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump(). So that kmsg_dump() will never fail because of lock contention. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: "Paul E.

The return here doesn't release the locks or re-enable IRQs. But as Andrew Morton points out, domain is never NULL. list_first_entry() essentially never returns NULL and also we already verified that the list is not empty.

Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict sysctl. The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)".

For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they don't provide their own implementions. Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in kernel/softirq.c. For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g. blackfin, only on_each_cpu() is compiled.

Michal reports: In the framebuffer subsystem the abs() macro is often used as a part of the calculation of a Manhattan metric, which in turn is used as a measure of similarity between video modes. The arguments of abs() are sometimes unsigned numbers. This worked fine until commit a49c59c0 ("Make sure the value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32:) , which changed the definition of abs() to prevent truncation. As a result of this change, in the following piece of code: u32 a = 0, b = 1; u32 c = abs(a - b); 'c' will end up with a value of 0xffffffff instead of the expected 0x1. A problem caused by this change and visible by the end user is that framebuffer drivers relying on functions from modedb.c will fail to find high resolution video modes similar to that explicitly requested by the user if an exact match cannot be found (see e.g. Fix this by special-casing `long' types within abs(). This patch reduces x86_64 code size a bit - drivers/video/uvesafb.o shrunk by 15 bytes, presumably because it is doing abs() on 4-byte quantities, and expanding those to 8-byte longs adds code. testcase: #define oldabs(x) ({ \ long __x = (x); \ (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \ }) #define newabs(x) ({ \ long ret; \ if (sizeof(x) == sizeof(long)) { \ long __x = (x); \ ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \ } else { \ int __x = (x); \ ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \ } \ ret; \ }) typedef unsigned int u32; main() { u32 a = 0; u32 b = 1; u32 oldc = oldabs(a - b); u32 newc = newabs(a - b); printf("%u %u\n", oldc, newc); } akpm:/home/akpm> gcc t.c akpm:/home/akpm> ./a.out 4294967295 1 Reported-by: Michal Januszewski <michalj@gmail.com> Cc: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Occasionally the system gets into a state where the CMOS clock has gotten slightly ahead of current time and the periodic update of RTC fails. The message is a nuisance and repeats spamming the log. See: http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS Rather than just removing the message, make it show only once and reduce severity since it indicates a normal and non urgent condition.

We need to know the reason why system rebooted in support service. However, we can't inform our customers of the reason because final messages are lost on current Linux kernel. This patch improves the situation above because the final messages are saved by adding kmsg_dump() to reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart path.

This series aims to develop logging facility for enterprise use. It is important to save kernel messages reliably on enterprise system because they are helpful for diagnosing system. This series add kmsg_dump() to the paths loosing kernel messages. The use case is the following. [Use case of reboot/poweroff/halt/emergency_restart] My company has often experienced the followings in our support service. - Customer's system suddenly reboots. - Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot. We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in /var/log/messages. However, we can't investigate the reason why the system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain. And off course we can't explain the reason. We can solve above problem with this patch as follows. Case1: reboot with command - We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.". Case2: halt with command - We can see "System halted.". Case3: poweroff with command - We can see " Power down.". Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq. - We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq(). Case5: emergency_restart with softdog. - We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire(). So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart. If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should know the fact. However, they often claim they don't execute the command when they rebooted system by mistake. No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof to the customer. This patch improves this situation. This patch: Alters mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, KMSG_DUMP_OOPS and KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC because they would like to log crashes only.

The reset command is part of the init sequence and it take effect only if the lcd is powered. The effect of the bug was that the sequence: set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK Did not produced a complete reboot of the LCD which was showing fuzzy colours. This was not experienced before implementing correctly all the LCD power states with the patch [1]. Since before the patch [1] the regulators were not touched and the LCD shutdown was reached with a register write. After the patch [1] a complete boot sequence with an initial reset is needed for the display every time the LCD is powered up. drivers-video-backlight-l4f00242t03c-full-implement-fb-power-states-for-this-lcd.patch Signed-off-by: Alberto Panizzo <maramaopercheseimorto@gmail.com> Cc: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Cc: Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@gmail.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Axel Lin <axel.lin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for inverting the trigger output polarity. With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was turned off, without touching it. The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO trigger driver.

Currently the led device name is fetched from the device_type in I2C_BOARD_INFO which comes from the platform data. This name is in turn used to create an entry in sysfs. If there exists two or more lp5521 on a particular platform, the device_type in I2C_BOARD_INFO has to be the same, else lp5521 driver probe wont be called and if used so, results in run time warning "cannot create sysfs with same name" and hence a failure. The name that is used to create sysfs entry is to be passed by the struct led_platform_data. Hence adding an element of type const char * and change in lp5521 driver to use this name in creating the led device if present else use the name obtained by I2C_BOARD_INFO.

MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon. It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server. It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations. x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor. Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal" at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance at the expense of energy efficiency. See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information. Background: Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, without actually modifying the MSR. In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on the cpufreq governor in use. It also offered a boot-time cmdline option to override. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457 But hiding the hardware policy behind the governor choice was deemed "kinda icky". In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to generalize the power/performance policy trade-off. "RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference" http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399 That is my preference for implementing this capability, but I received no support on the list. So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML, a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246 Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback, to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.
