Teach PNPACPI how to hook up its devices to their ACPI nodes, so that pnpdev->dev.archdata points to the parallel acpi device node. Previously this only worked for PCI, leaving a notable hole. Export "acpi_bus_type" so this can work. Remove some extraneous whitespace. Signed-off-by:

When a binary format is unregistered and re-registered, register_binfmt fails with -EBUSY. The reason is that unregister_binfmt does not set fmt->next to NULL, and seeing (fmt->next != NULL), register_binfmt fails with -EBUSY. One can find his way around by explicitly setting fmt->next to NULL after unregistering, but that is kind of unclean (one should better be using only the interfaces, and not the interal members, isn't it?) Attached one-liner can fix it. Signed-off-by:

In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe. Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG(). Signed-off-by:

Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures. While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially by kmalloc, which was often the case. It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that the area needs to be. This patch does just that. If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea. Acked-by:

Remove artificial maximum 256 loop device that can be created due to a legacy device number limit. Searching through lkml archive, there are several instances where users complained about the artificial limit that the loop driver impose. There is no reason to have such limit. This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block queue instantiation on demand. With on-demand instantiation, it also gives the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net improvement in both areas. This version is both tested with creation of large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount user land tools. There are a number of people who worked on this and provided valuable suggestions, in no particular order, by: Jens Axboe Jan Engelhardt Christoph Hellwig Thomas M Signed-off-by:

The 82875 EDAC driver enables an otherwise-hidden PCI device, but doesn't register it as a PCI device properly. Therefore, the device list in /proc/bus/pci/devices is different than the tree in /sys/bus/pci. This usually manifests as the X server failing to start, since it expects the two lists to be consistent. Signed-off-by:

Add touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() to allow the softlockup watchdog timers on all cpus to be updated. This is used to prevent sysrq-t from generating a spurious watchdog message when generating lots of output. Softlockup watchdogs use sched_clock() as its timebase, which is inherently per-cpu (at least, when it is measuring unstolen time). Because of this, it isn't possible for one CPU to directly update the other CPU's timers, but it is possible to tell the other CPUs to do update themselves appropriately. Signed-off-by:

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
The softlockup watchdog is currently a nuisance in a virtual machine, since the whole system could have the CPU stolen from it for a long period of time. While it would be unlikely for a guest domain to be denied timer interrupts for over 10s, it could happen and any softlockup message would be completely spurious. Earlier I proposed that sched_clock() return time in unstolen nanoseconds, which is how Xen and VMI currently implement it. If the softlockup watchdog uses sched_clock() to measure time, it would automatically ignore stolen time, and therefore only report when the guest itself locked up. When running native, sched_clock() returns real-time nanoseconds, so the behaviour would be unchanged. Note that sched_clock() used this way is inherently per-cpu, so this patch makes sure that the per-processor watchdog thread initialized its own timestamp. Signed-off-by:

struct clocksource is a critical data structure. Most of its fields are read only, some of them are heavily modified at each timer interrupt.

Venki Pallipadi authored
Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer(). [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Privatise a #define] Signed-off-by:

Give legacy parallel ports a platform device in the device tree. This is a quick and dirty implementation; it doesn't actually convert the legacy parport code to the device driver model (by splitting out probing from device creation).

Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management. This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] Signed-off-by:

I was playing with some code that sometimes got a string where a %n match should have been done where the input string ended, for example like this: sscanf("abc123", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* doesn't work */ sscanf("abc123a", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* works */ However, the scanf function in the kernel doesn't convert the %n in that case because it has already matched the complete input after %d and just completely stops matching then.

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty. We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code. This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received a SIGHUP it was expecting. In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h Signed-off-by:

This patch should contain no functional changes. At some point I got confused and thought put_pid could not be called while a spin lock was held. While it may be nice to avoid that to reduce lock hold times put_pid can be safely called while we hold a spin lock. This patch removes all of the complications from the code introduced by my misunderstanding, making the code a little more readable. Signed-off-by:

All of the users of proc_clear_tty are compiled into the kernel so exporting this symbol appears gratuitous. Signed-off-by:

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf). Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc. Signed-off-by:
