Summary of changes from v2.5.49 to v2.5.50
============================================
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: add #include <linux/security.h> to a lot of files as they all have security calls in them.
This is needed for the next patches that change the way the security calls work.
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: Create CONFIG_SECURITY and disable it by default for now.
This allows the security hooks to be compiled away into nothingness if CONFIG_SECURITY
is disabled. When disabled, the default capabilities functionality is preserved.
When enabled, security modules are allowed to be loaded.
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: change all usages of security_ops->ptrace() to security_ptrace()
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: change all security bprm related calls to the new format.
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: change all of the VFS related security calls to the new format.
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: convert over the remaining security calls to the new format.
<hch@infradead.org>
[PATCH] remove sys_security
I've been auditing the LSM stuff a bit more..
They have registered an implemented a syscall, sys_security
that does nothing but switch into the individual modules
based on the first argument, i.e. it's ioctl() switching
on the security module instead of device node. Yuck.
Patch below removes it (no intree users), maybe selinux/etc
folks should send their actual syscall for review instead..
<greg@kroah.com>
LSM: remove last remanants of sys_security missed by last patch.
<aris@cathedrallabs.org>
drivers/acpi/ac.c: convert to seq_file
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Simplify chip init
clear_pending_interrupts can be made internal to the chipset driver,
simplifying the callers a somewhat and also fixing bugs where
work_queues would be scheduled before they are initialized.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Un-split inithscxisac
It works just as nicely unsplit AFAICS, so no need for the added
complexity.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Move transmitter reset into initisac()
Move some duplicated code into a common and more
sensible place.
<aris@cathedrallabs.org>
o acpi: convert drivers/acpi/button.c to seq_file
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Remove compatibility ifdefs
Compatibility code checking for 2.1.60 can surely go away...
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Introduce .owner
The current way of passing a command to inc the module use count is
inherently racy, so expose a struct module *owner instead (which makes
it possible to fix this race, though that's not done yet).
Also, add some missing #include <linux/interrupt.h>
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Remove unused commands
There's a number of commands which are never used by the link layer, so
no reason to have them stick around.
<dledford@aladin.rdu.redhat.com>
aic7xxx_old: fix up the biosparam function to do 64bit math safely
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Move isdn_slot into isdn_driver
Conceptually, we have struct isdn_driver, which describes one ISDN card.
Each card provides some (normally 2) channels, called isdn_slot. Instead
of having a global array of struct isdn_slot, move the slots provided by
one card into the corresponding struct isdn_driver.
When binding to a channel (isdn_get_free_slot), this inc's the refcount on
the struct isdn_driver, making sure that slot and slot->drv cannot
disappear under us.
<dledford@aladin.rdu.redhat.com>
aic7xxx_old: update biosparam function with the (ugly) detail that
cylinder values > 65535 get truncated
<dledford@aladin.rdu.redhat.com>
scsi.c, scsi.h, scsi_syms.c, aic7xxx_old: add new function to track queue
full events at the mid layer instead of at the low level device
driver
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove unused include in scsi_ioctl.c
This time I explicitly checked for the in_atomic mess..
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] split busy check out of scsi_remove_host
just a simple code cleanup
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] make a few more routines private to scsi_lib.c
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] cleanup code for /proc add/remove single device
two new helpers in scsi_scan.c: scsi_add_single_device and
scsi_remove_single_device that do all hard work. Thanks to
beeing in scsi_scan.c and using proper helpers they're a lot
smaller and cleaner.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] get rid of scan_scsis
this function was a multiplexer for two very different things, but
with my last patch one of those faded away and only one callers
is left. Simplify it to what's still needed and rename to
scsi_scan_host.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove useless includes from scsi.h
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] some HBA compile warning fixes
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] turn scsi_allocate_device into readable code
<patmans@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] current scsi-misc-2.5 include files

Hi -
hardirq.h and init.h were removed from scsi.h. So I had to make the
following changes to compile. I also removed two extraneous includes.

James/Christoph -
I had to change the above to a "if (sdev)" per the following patch (against
current scsi-misc-2.5) to get the add to work correctly. Otherwise, this
worked fine.
<dledford@dledford.theledfords.org>
scsi: Update lldd API to slave_alloc/slave_configure/slave_destroy interface
instead of slave_attach/slave_detach interface. Change all users
of existing interface to new interface, update scan code for new
device attachement semantics
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: update for recent changes to clone system call.
<dledford@dledford.theledfords.org>

<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Introduce get/put_slot()
When an application needs an ISDN channel ("slot"), it now should
use get_slot() which will make sure that the corresponding driver module
doesn't unregister under us.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Update eicon driver for removal of pcibios_*
Fairly obviously, but untested.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN: Remove cli()/.. from hisax/hscx driver
We use a per-card spinlock to protect interrupt and normal tx
path from each other.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Don't call back up in hard-IRQ context
We used to call writewakeup() directly from handling the "frame sent"
IRQ which potentially would call back up into the common ISDN layer and
higher up still in hard-IRQ context. Instead, queue the event and use
the usual mechanism of passing it up.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Remove pcibios_* leftovers
For the most part, Linux drivers shouldn't muck with that low-level
stuff at all, but rather leave it to the generic layer.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Shared function for scheduling a B-channel event
There's no need for each hardware driver to implement its own
(short) xxx_schedule_event().
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Unified xmit_complete_b()
Again, this code sequence is repeated in a lot of drivers, so
separate it out.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Separate out xmit_ready_b()
A lot of drivers do the same thing when they're ready for transmitting
the next frame, so let's share that code.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Shared xmit_data_req() for B-channel
Again, lots of drivers duplicated code to start transmitting a
B-channel frame. Now we do this from one place, and the converted
drivers are obviously serialized w.r.t. calling ->BC_Send_Data()
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Shared PH_PULL handling for B-Channel
More obviously duplicated code moved into just one place.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share XPR interrupt handling for B-Channel
Six of the hardware chips for B-channel xmit work so similar that we can
share the code to handle XPR (transmit pool ready).
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share code for retransmitting frame on B-channel
If we lose a fragment of a frame, we need to restart from the beginning,
share that code.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share XDU handling for B-Channel
Again, the hardware is similar enough to use a shared function,
only the method of resetting the transmitter needs to be specified.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share fill_fifo() for B-Channels
Something else which can be nicely shared amongst various drivers...
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] drivers/base/hotplug.c, fix $DEVPATH
Hotplug agents couldn't use /sys/$DEVPATH after /sys/root
morphed into /sys/devices ... now they can do it again.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] remove CONFIG_USB_LONG_TIMEOUT
Basically, no point in having short and long timeout options
where both are _shorter_ than the timeout from the USB spec.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] ohci uses less slab memory
When chasing down some of those 'bad entry' diagnostics, I once
got suspicious that the problem was slab corruption coming from
the way the td hashtable code worked. So I put together this
patch, eliminating some kmallocation, and the next times I ran
that test, the oops went away and it worked like a charm. Hmm.
This patch is good because it shrinks memory and code, and gets
rid of some could-fail allocations, so I figured I'd send it on
(low priority) even if I don't think it fixes the root problem.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] USB: use time_before() to compare times
<ganesh@vxindia.veritas.com>
[PATCH] uninitialized spinlock in ipaq.c
this fixes an uninitialzed spinlock in ipaq.c. the driver should work
on smp machines now.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] usbdevfs: finalize urbs on interface release
Description: When an urb has been submitted via usbdevfs, and is still
pending when the interface it was submitted to is released, force the
urb to be completed. This is the correct behaviour. It fixes an oops on
system shutdown when using the user space driver for the speedtouch
modem.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Shared xmit_fill_fifo() for D-Channel.
Now repeat the steps of unifying the xmit path for B-Channels for
D-Channel handling. Parts of xmit_fill_fifo() can easily be shared.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Shared sched_event() for D-channel
No reason to duplicate sched_event() all over the drivers...
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share xmit_ready_d()
Same as for the B-Channels. We need to make sure that this doesn't
race with a new frame arriving from the upper layer, which will be done
shortly by sharing the upper layer interface as well. Protection is
provided by card->lock, which is now always taken around the entire
interrupt - more coarse-grained than possible, but still better than
the global cli(), and correctness and simplicity first.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Consolidate D-Channel XPR interrupt handling
More code which can be nicely shared...
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share D-Channel XDU interrupt handling
The FIFO based cards can share the data underrun handling.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Move more code into the shared xmit_xpr_d()
Another bit of D-channel busy handling can move as well.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share D-channel PH_DATA request handling
As usual, lots of duplicated code gone.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Share D-Channel PH_PULL code
More duplicated code gone.
Also, remove the unused skb argument from xmit_pull_req_b().
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
ISDN/HiSax: Remove broken home-made lock primitives
The HFC subdrivers chose to use atomic ops to re-implement sth
like broken spinlocks. That's now gone. Basically all races should
be taken care of by the fact that we take cs->lock before going down
to the hardware, this locks protects from concurrent accesses from
IRQ context. Well, some rare paths (setting mode etc) don't take the
lock yet, so it's not quite done yet.

[PATCH] do_mounts.c ioctl fix
init/do_mounts.c is using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl which expects a pointer to
an unsigned long but actually it passes a pointer to an int which of
course is blowing up on 64-bit systems.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: added Palm Tungsten W support.
Thanks to Ralf Dietrich <ralle@envicon.de> for the information.
<jtyner@cs.ucr.edu>
[PATCH] USB: [patch] fix vicam disconnect/locking
Here is a patch that fixes the disconnect handling and locking for the
vicam driver. It does the following.
1.) Change the parameters of send_control_msg to take a struct
vicam_camera instead of struct usb_device to allow for locking
of the device. Note that __send_control_msg does not lock the
camera. send_control_msg locks the camera before calling
__send_control_msg.
2.) Remove all instances of busy_lock. busy_lock was renamed to
cam_lock and used to lock out simultaneous uses of the camera
and handle disconnects. We may want to add back a different lock
to handle smp type stuff.
3.) Separate read_frame and vicam_decode_color. This should move us
along toward asynchronous urbs.
This patch does not address the locking of the camera that is still
needed by the proc interface.

[PATCH] blk_run_queues() locking fix
blk_run_queues() places queues onto a local list without locking. But
interrupt-time activity in scsi_lib.c will replug these queues, which
involves accessing that list which blk_run_queues() is walking.
Net effect: list corruption and an oops. Very hard to reproduce...
So hold the lock while blk_run_queues() is walking the local list.
The patch was acked by Jens. It also uninlines a few largeish
functions and adds a couple of WARN_ON()s in code which worried me.

[PATCH] Allow for profile_buf size = kernel text size
Patch from Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com>
Allows the kernel profiler to use a shift value of zero for

So instead of overloading a shift of zero to mean "not profiling", use
a separate flag for that.
This means that anyone who is currently using "profile=0" to disable
profiling has accidentally turned profiling on, so I added a printk.

[PATCH] Updated Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
Patch from Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>
This patch (against 2.5.49) updates Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
to the current state of kernel. It was somehow abadonded lately, so I
did my best, but it's possible that I still missed some of the options
- thus, if you will notice your favourite boot option missing there,
please speak up. Note also that I will probably send up another update
after few further kernel releases..
Also, I attempted to introduce some uniform format to the entries, I
added the format description where I was able to find it out and
decypher it, and I also added gross amount of external links to the
headers of the source files or to the README-like files, where the
options are described into more degree. This way, hopefully this file
has a chance to be actually usable for the users ;-).
There are almost certainly some entries which I missed, it was really a
huge number and the main reason is that some of the boot options don't
use the __setup macro, which I grep'd for.
I hope the patch is ok, there should be no problems with it. Please apply.
Note that this is the fourth submission of the patch - I took the
opportunity and updated the patch from 2.5.48 to 2.5.49. AFAIK mutt
shouldn't mangle the patch in any way, so it should apply cleanly to
your tree, Linus.

[PATCH] shrink task_struct by removing per_cpu utime and stime
Patch from Bill Irwin. It has the potential to break userspace
monitoring tools a little bit, and I'm a rater uncertain about
how useful the per-process per-cpu accounting is.
Bill sent this out as an RFC on July 29:
"These statistics severely bloat the task_struct and nothing in
userspace can rely on them as they're conditional on CONFIG_SMP. If
anyone is using them (or just wants them around), please speak up."
And nobody spoke up.
If we apply this, the contents of /proc/783/cpu will go from
cpu 1 1
cpu0 0 0
cpu1 0 0
cpu2 1 1
cpu3 0 0
to
cpu 1 1
And we shall save 256 bytes from the ia32 task_struct.
On my SMP build with NR_CPUS=32:
Without this patch, sizeof(task_struct) is 1824, slab uses a 1-order
allocation and we are getting 2 task_structs per page.
With this patch, sizeof(task_struct) is 1568, slab uses a 2-order
allocation and we are getting 2.5 task_structs per page.
So it seems worthwhile.
(Maybe this highlights a shortcoming in slab. For the 1824-byte case
it could have used a 0-order allocation)
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] reduced context switch rate in writeback
pdflush writes back chunks of ~1000 pages. It currently takes a short
nap if it writes back no pages at all. That could cause it to write
back lots of small batches of pages, as it bounces against a congested
queue.
Change it to sleep if it failed to write back the entire batch against
a congested queue. Ths reduces the context switch rate a little.
The context switch rate is still fairly high (150/sec) - this appears
to be due to add_disk_randomness() scheduling a work function.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Add some low-latency scheduling points
This is the first in a little batch of patches which address long-held
locks in the VFS/MM layer which are affecting our worst-case scheduling
latency, and are making CONFIG_PREEMPT not very useful.
We end up with a worst-case of 500 microseconds at 500MHz, which is
very good. Unless you do an exit with lots of mmapped memory.
unmap_page_range() needs work.
Some of these patches also add rescheduling points for non-preemptible
kernels - where I felt that the code path could be long enough to be
perceptible.
Three places in the generic pagecache functions need manual
rescheduling points even for non-preemptible kernels:
- generic_file_read() (Can hold the CPU for seconds)
- generic_file_write() (ditto)
- filemap_fdatawait(). This won't hold the CPU for so long, but it
can walk many thousands of pages under the lock. It needs a lock
drop and scheduling point for both preemptible and non-preemptible
kernels. (This one's a bit ugly...)
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] realtime swapspace accounting
There are a couple of statistical functions which scan the entire swap
map counting things up, to display in /proc.
On my machine, these hold spinlocks for 19 milliseconds which is
unacceptable from a scheduling latency point of view.
And an application which sits in a loop reading /proc/swaps on a large
machine is probably a decent denial-of-service attack - it will limit
swap allocations to tens of pages per second.
So add a counter to swap_info_struct and use it to track how many pages
are currently in use, so those reporting functions don't need to add
them all up.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] swapoff accounting cleanup
From Hugh. Remove some strangeness in the swapoff path.
"it dates from the days when that block set *swap_map to 0, but in
2.4.13 I changed it to set *swap_map to 1 and delete_from_swap_cache
afterwards: it's been wrong ever since, hasn't it? swap_list_locking
can go, it was there to guard nr_swap_pages for si_swapinfo; the
swap_device_locking has to stay because swap_map is an array of
unsigned _shorts_."
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Add a scheduling point to page reclaim
When the VM is under heavy load and a page allocator caller is holding
the BKL there can be several-millisecond scheduling stalls.
So add a cond_resched() at every 32nd page (approx).
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Don't hold BKL across sync_blockdev() in blkdev_put()
Running sync_blockdev() inside lock_kernel causes long scheduling
stalls under some conditions because the lock_kernel() disables
preemption.
We don't need the BKL across sync_blockdev(), so move it down a bit.
This is a minimal fix - we probably don't need BKL for much at all in
there.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] reduced latency in dentry and inode cache shrinking
Shrinking a huge number of dentries or inodes can hold dcache_lock or
inode_lock for a long time. Not only does this hold off preemption -
holding those locks basically shuts down the whole VFS.
A neat fix for all such caches is to chunk the work up at the
shrink_slab() level.
I made the chunksize pretty small, for scalability reasons - avoid
holding the lock for too long so another CPU can come in, acquire it
and go off to do some work.

[PATCH] USB serial: move the ezusb functions into their own file.
<randy.dunlap@verizon.net>
[PATCH] tiglusb timeouts
It addresses the timeout parameter in the tiglusb driver.
1. timeout could be 0, causing a divide-by-zero.
The patch prevents this.
2. The timeout value to usb_bulk_msg() could be rounded
down to cause a divide-by-zero if timeout was < 10, e.g. 9,
in:
result = usb_bulk_msg (s->dev, pipe, buffer, bytes_to_read,
&bytes_read, HZ / (timeout / 10));
9 / 10 == 0 => divide-by-zero !!
3. The timeout value above doesn't do very well on converting
timeout to tenths of seconds. Even for the default timeout
value of 15 (1.5 seconds), it becomes:
HZ / (15 / 10) == HZ / 1 == HZ, or 1 second.
The patch corrects this formula to use:
(HZ * 10) / timeout

unused/useless variables and combining the two "x" loops inside the
y loop into one. It also reduces the number of times that the "x"
loop occurs from 512 to 320 which should provide a decent speed
increase. It also fixes a bug in the y loop that wrote beyond its bound.

[PATCH] usb-serial.c disconnect race
Attached is a patch that changes the 2.5.x disconnect to be similar to
2.4.x disconnect. This doesn't fix the race, but does shrink the
window such that I've never seen it trigger, even under testing
designed to do that.
There doesn't seem to be a good way to fix the race. The fix should be
to have _disconnect force any sleeping semaphore holders to run to
completion between the end of the loop in the patch below and the spot
where the underlying memory is freed, but I don't see a way to do
that.

[PATCH] WhiteHEAT update
1-fix-lowlat:
QA found that running all four ports at 460800 would drop data. I
traced it to data being dropped in the read callback because the flip
buffers were full. Turning on the low latency flag fixed things.
2-fix-taint
A side-effect of turning on low latency; the interrupt context from
the callback is now passed through to the tty layer, passing it on to
calls back into usb-serial.c. Which causes deadlocks when trying to
re-acquire the per-port semaphore. We've already talked about this.
This patch is my work-around for the usb-serial.c brokenness.
Basically, implemement a buffering scheme, and schedule a software
interrupt to handle the data handoff to the tty layer sometime later.
urb_pool_size defaults to 8, but is a module parameter and can be
modified at runtime.
The buffering is needed so that the driver can run while data is
waiting to be processed, but I could have used the tty layer
scheduling instead of doing my own by turning off low latency.
However, I looked at the tty layer and it seems to me that there's
nothing preventing a really fast device from flipping one buffer,
flipping the next, and flipping back to the still full buffer from
before (actually, the flip just gets scheduled for later), so my
driver needs to be able to hold onto buffered data and schedule them
for processing later anyway. So, might as well leave low_latency on.
