2012-07-30printk: remove the now unnecessary "C" annotation for KERN_CONTJoe Perches
Now that all KERN_<LEVEL> uses are prefixed with ASCII SOH, there is no need for a KERN_CONT. Keep it backward compatible by adding #define KERN_CONT "" Reduces kernel image size a thousand bytes.

2012-07-30printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte patternJoe Perches
Instead of "<.>", use an ASCII SOH for the KERN_<LEVEL> prefix initiator. This saves 1 byte per printk, thousands of bytes in a normal kernel. No output changes are produced as vprintk_emit converts these uses to "<.>".

Use the generic printk_get_level() to search a message for a kern_level. Add __printf to verify format and arguments. Fix a few messages that had mismatches in format and arguments. Add #ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK blocks to shrink the object size a bit when not using printk.

2012-07-30NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resumeSameer Nanda
On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets suspended. Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup detector on the boot CPU during resume. To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason. Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes -- issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"' after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times. With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as expected. These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue causing the freeze.

2012-07-30panic: fix a possible deadlock in panic()Vikram Mulukutla
panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin waiting to be shut down. However, this causes a regression in this scenario: 1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock and proceeds with the panic processing. 2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters an error condition and invokes panic. 3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop. Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop. To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before acquiring the panic_lock. This will prevent interrupt handlers from executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular problem.

Many drivers are shared between architectures that may or may not have HAVE_CLK selected for them. To remove compilation errors for them we enclose clk_*() calls in these drivers within #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_CLK, #endif. This patch removes the need of these CONFIG_HAVE_CLK statements, by introducing dummy routines when HAVE_CLK is not selected by platforms. So, definition of these routines will always be available. These calls will return error for platforms that don't select HAVE_CLK.

2012-07-30fs: make dumpable=2 require fully qualified pathKees Cook
When the suid_dumpable sysctl is set to "2", and there is no core dump pipe defined in the core_pattern sysctl, a local user can cause core files to be written to root-writable directories, potentially with user-controlled content. This means an admin can unknowningly reintroduce a variation of CVE-2006-2451, allowing local users to gain root privileges. $ cat /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable 2 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern core $ ulimit -c unlimited $ cd / $ ls -l core ls: cannot access core: No such file or directory $ touch core touch: cannot touch `core': Permission denied $ OHAI="evil-string-here" ping localhost >/dev/null 2>&1 & $ pid=$! $ sleep 1 $ kill -SEGV $pid $ ls -l core -rw------- 1 root kees 458752 Jun 21 11:35 core $ sudo strings core | grep evil OHAI=evil-string-here While cron has been fixed to abort reading a file when there is any parse error, there are still other sensitive directories that will read any file present and skip unparsable lines. Instead of introducing a suid_dumpable=3 mode and breaking all users of mode 2, this only disables the unsafe portion of mode 2 (writing to disk via relative path). Most users of mode 2 (e.g. Chrome OS) already use a core dump pipe handler, so this change will not break them. For the situations where a pipe handler is not defined but mode 2 is still active, crash dumps will only be written to fully qualified paths. If a relative path is defined (e.g. the default "core" pattern), dump attempts will trigger a printk yelling about the lack of a fully qualified path.

The call to ioremap is happening early in the boot process which leads to a panic on x86_64 systems: panic+0x01ca do_exit+0x043c oops_end+0x00a7 no_context+0x0119 __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x0138 bad_area_nosemaphore+0x000e do_page_fault+0x0321 page_fault+0x0020 reserve_memtype+0x02a1 __ioremap_caller+0x0123 ioremap_nocache+0x0012 efi_setup_pcdp_console+0x002b setup_arch+0x03a9 start_kernel+0x00d4 x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe This replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in efi_setup_pcdp_console() with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap which can be called during early boot. This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses the HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.

2012-07-30mm: fix wrong argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page()Joonsoo Kim
Commit a6bc32b89922 ("mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction") changed the declaration of migrate_pages() and migrate_huge_pages(). But it missed changing the argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page(). In this case, we should call migrate_huge_pages() with MIGRATE_SYNC. Additionally, there is a mismatch between type the of argument and the function declaration for migrate_pages().

2012-07-30[media] Avoid sysfs oops when an rc_dev's raw device is absentDouglas Bagnall
For some reason, when the lirc daemon learns that a usb remote control has been unplugged, it wants to read the sysfs attributes of the disappearing device. This is useful for uncovering transient inconsistencies, but less so for keeping the system running when such inconsistencies exist. Under some circumstances (like every time I unplug my dvb stick from my laptop), lirc catches an rc_dev whose raw event handler has been removed (presumably by ir_raw_event_unregister), and proceeds to interrogate the raw protocols supported by the NULL pointer. This patch avoids the NULL dereference, and ignores the issue of how this state of affairs came about in the first place. Version 2 incorporates changes recommended by Mauro Carvalho Chehab (-ENODEV instead of -EINVAL, and a signed-off-by).

2012-07-31md/raid5: For odirect-write performance, do not set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE.majianpeng
'sync' writes set both REQ_SYNC and REQ_NOIDLE. O_DIRECT writes set REQ_SYNC but not REQ_NOIDLE. We currently assume that a REQ_SYNC request will not be followed by more requests and so set STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE to expedite the request. This is appropriate for sync requests, but not for O_DIRECT requests. So make the setting of STRIPE_PREREAD_ACTIVE conditional on REQ_NOIDLE rather than REQ_SYNC. This is consistent with the documented meaning of REQ_NOIDLE: __REQ_NOIDLE, /* don't anticipate more IO after this one */ Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma <majianpeng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2012-07-31md/raid1: don't abort a resync on the first badblock.NeilBrown
If a resync of a RAID1 array with 2 devices finds a known bad block one device it will neither read from, or write to, that device for this block offset. So there will be one read_target (The other device) and zero write targets. This condition causes md/raid1 to abort the resync assuming that it has finished - without known bad blocks this would be true. When there are no write targets because of the presence of bad blocks we should only skip over the area covered by the bad block. RAID10 already gets this right, raid1 doesn't. Or didn't. As this can cause a 'sync' to abort early and appear to have succeeded it could lead to some data corruption, so it suitable for -stable.

2012-07-31md: remove duplicated test on ->openers when calling do_md_stop()NeilBrown
do_md_stop tests mddev->openers while holding ->open_mutex, and fails if this count is too high. So callers do not need to check mddev->openers and doing so isn't very meaningful as they don't hold ->open_mutex so the number could change. So remove the unnecessary tests on mddev->openers. These are not called often enough for there to be any gain in an early test on ->open_mutex to avoid the need for a slightly more costly mutex_lock call. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2012-07-31md/raid1: prevent merging too large requestShaohua Li
For SSD, if request size exceeds specific value (optimal io size), request size isn't important for bandwidth. In such condition, if making request size bigger will cause some disks idle, the total throughput will actually drop. A good example is doing a readahead in a two-disk raid1 setup. So when should we split big requests? We absolutly don't want to split big request to very small requests. Even in SSD, big request transfer is more efficient. This patch only considers request with size above optimal io size. If all disks are busy, is it worth doing a split? Say optimal io size is 16k, two requests 32k and two disks. We can let each disk run one 32k request, or split the requests to 4 16k requests and each disk runs two. It's hard to say which case is better, depending on hardware. So only consider case where there are idle disks. For readahead, split is always better in this case. And in my test, below patch can improve > 30% thoughput. Hmm, not 100%, because disk isn't 100% busy. Such case can happen not just in readahead, for example, in directio. But I suppose directio usually will have bigger IO depth and make all disks busy, so I ignored it. Note: if the raid uses any hard disk, we don't prevent merging. That will make performace worse.

2012-07-31md/raid1: read balance chooses idlest disk for SSDShaohua Li
SSD hasn't spindle, distance between requests means nothing. And the original distance based algorithm sometimes can cause severe performance issue for SSD raid. Considering two thread groups, one accesses file A, the other access file B. The first group will access one disk and the second will access the other disk, because requests are near from one group and far between groups. In this case, read balance might keep one disk very busy but the other relative idle. For SSD, we should try best to distribute requests to as many disks as possible. There isn't spindle move penality anyway. With below patch, I can see more than 50% throughput improvement sometimes depending on workloads. The only exception is small requests can be merged to a big request which typically can drive higher throughput for SSD too. Such small requests are sequential reads. Unlike hard disk, sequential read which can't be merged (for example direct IO, or read without readahead) can be ignored for SSD. Again there is no spindle move penality. readahead dispatches small requests and such requests can be merged. Last patch can help detect sequential read well, at least if concurrent read number isn't greater than raid disk number. In that case, distance based algorithm doesn't work well too. V2: For hard disk and SSD mixed raid, doesn't use distance based algorithm for random IO too. This makes the algorithm generic for raid with SSD.
