Linus Torvalds 0fe1ef24f7 vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using
symbolic KALLSYMS information).  The '%pS' format is for regular direct
pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack
during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types.

On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some
architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the
function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains
the actual pointer to the code).  The '%pF' code automatically does the
appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures.

Linus Torvalds 4d8a743cdd vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiers
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic
specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'.  Right now
it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some
specific pointer type extensions.

NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow
minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check
that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not
complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand
about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer
type and the extension are compatible).

Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing
use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately
followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have
traditionally resulted in).

Paul Mundt da9eac8990 lib: taint kernel in common report_bug() WARN path.
Commit 95b570c9ce ("Taint kernel after
WARN_ON(condition)") introduced a TAINT_WARN that was implemented for
all architectures using the generic warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded
any architecture that set HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.

As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.

Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.

Paul E. McKenney 31a72bce0b rcu: make rcutorture more vicious: reinstate boot-time testing
This patch re-institutes the ability to build rcutorture directly into
the Linux kernel.  The reason that this capability was removed was that
this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture
would be running starting from early boot.  This problem has been avoided
by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default,
(2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture
to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named
/proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be
quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel.

Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture
is built as a module.  Please also note that to get the earlier
take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set
rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero.

The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops
in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick.
Suggestions for improvement are welcome.  The default action will
be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second.

Vegard Nossum 50db04dd9c debugobjects: fix lockdep warning
Daniel J Blueman reported:
| =======================================================
| [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
| 2.6.26-rc5-201c #1
| -------------------------------------------------------
| nscd/3669 is trying to acquire lock:
|  (&n->list_lock){.+..}, at: [<ffffffff802bab03>] deactivate_slab+0x173/0x1e0
|
| but task is already holding lock:
|  (&obj_hash[i].lock){++..}, at: [<ffffffff803fa56f>]
| __debug_object_init+0x2f/0x350
|
| which lock already depends on the new lock.

There are two locks involved here; the first is a SLUB-local lock, and
the second is a debugobjects-local lock. They are basically taken in two
different orders:

1. SLUB { debugobjects { ... } }
2. debugobjects { SLUB { ... } }

This patch changes pattern #2 by trying to fill the memory pool (e.g.
the call into SLUB/kmalloc()) outside the debugobjects lock, so now the
two patterns look like this:

1. SLUB { debugobjects { ... } }
2. SLUB { } debugobjects { ... }

Ingo Molnar 1462a20005 Revert "prohibit rcutorture from being compiled into the kernel"
This reverts commit 9aaffc898f.

That commit was a very bad idea. RCU_TORTURE found many boot timing
bugs and other sorts of bugs in the past, so excluding it from
boot images is very silly.

The option already depends on DEBUG_KERNEL and is disabled by default.
Even when it runs, the test threads are reniced. If it annoys people
we could add a runtime sysctl.

Nick Piggin 643b52b9c0 radix-tree: fix small lockless radix-tree bug
We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left
most slot.  The child becomes the new root node.  To perform this
operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we
atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child.

However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the
parent (and is presently deciding what to do next).  For this reason, we
also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the
tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the
parent pointer may not do the right thing.  Notably, we need to keep the
child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup.

This is all pretty standard RCU stuff.  It is worth repeating because in
my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken
it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period.

What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then
decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot
contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent
node before waiting for a grace period.  The lookup would return a false
negative as a result.

Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback.  I would normally want
to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those
places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon
after allocation).

This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the
test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite.
 I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll
keep working at it.

Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in
mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not
have concurrent lookups and deletes).

Jeremy Fitzhardinge f595ec964d common implementation of iterative div/mod
We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.

The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.

This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

Steven Rostedt 5568b139f4 ftrace: debug smp_processor_id, use notrace preempt disable
The debug smp_processor_id caused a recursive fault in debugging
the irqsoff tracer. The tracer used a smp_processor_id in the
ftrace callback, and this function called preempt_disable which
also is traced. This caused a recursive fault (stack overload).

Since using smp_processor_id without debugging on does not cause
faults with the tracer (even when the tracer is wrong), the
debug version should not cause a system reboot.

This changes the debug_smp_processor_id to use the notrace versions
of preempt_disable and enable.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 16444a8a40 ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentation
If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is

we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"

The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.

[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
  so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]

Update:
  It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
  If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
  function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
  is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
  through the functions to call.

Franck Bui-Huu 82524746c2 rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.h
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the
kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this
list.h without creating some circular dependencies.

For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference()
without including rcupdate.h.  It actually compiles because users of
rcu_dereference() are macros.  Others RCU functions could be used too but
aren't probably because of this.

Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to
many changes/troubles.

Harvey Harrison 3fc957721d lib: create common ascii hex array
Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it.

Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is
done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value.

Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many
places in the tree that will be consolidated.

Markus Armbruster b32a09db4f add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options().  I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.

The source string is a substing of the mount options.  The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero.  See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().

The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.

We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.  PATH_MAX is 4096.  As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.

Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct.  It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

They aren't used.  They were briefly used as part of some other patches to
provide an alternative format for displaying some /proc and /sys cpumasks.
They probably should have been removed when those other patches were dropped,
in favor of a different solution.

David S. Miller faa6cfde74 lmb: Make lmb debugging more useful.
Having to muck with the build and set DEBUG just to
get lmb_dump_all() to print things isn't very useful.

So use pr_info() and use an early boot param
"lmb=debug" so we can simply ask users to reboot
with this option when we need some debugging from
them.

David S. Miller 4978db5bd9 lmb: Fix inconsistent alignment of size argument.
When allocating, if we will align up the size when making
the reservation, we should also align the size for the
check that the space is actually available.

The simplest thing is to just aling the size up from
the beginning, then we can use plain 'size' throughout.

Linus Torvalds 8e3e076c5a BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation
The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair.  The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.

The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec261 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.

This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.

As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect.  We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.

These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:

  "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
   afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
   tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."

so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores
the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs.  By example:

	sysfs_streq("a", "b")	==> false
	sysfs_streq("a", "a")	==> true
	sysfs_streq("a", "a\n")	==> true
	sysfs_streq("a\n", "a")	==> true

This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them

Rename div64_64 to div64_u64 to make it consistent with the other divide
functions, so it clearly includes the type of the divide.  Move its definition
to math64.h as currently no architecture overrides the generic implementation.
 They can still override it of course, but the duplicated declarations are
avoided.

Roman Zippel 2418f4f28f introduce explicit signed/unsigned 64bit divide
The current do_div doesn't explicitly say that it's unsigned and the signed
counterpart is missing, which is e.g.  needed when dealing with time values.

This introduces 64bit signed/unsigned divide functions which also attempts to
cleanup the somewhat awkward calling API, which often requires the use of
temporary variables for the dividend.  To avoid the need for temporary
variables everywhere for the remainder, each divide variant also provides a
version which doesn't return the remainder.

Each architecture can now provide optimized versions of these function,
otherwise generic fallback implementations will be used.

As an example I provided an alternative for the current x86 divide, which
avoids the asm casts and using an union allows gcc to generate better code.
It also avoids the upper divde in a few more cases, where the result is known
(i.e.  upper quotient is zero).
