Jeff Mahoney 4d20851d37 reiserfs: remove first_zero_hint
The first_zero_hint metadata caching was never actually used, and it's of
dubious optimization quality.  This patch removes it.

It doesn't actually shrink the size of the reiserfs_bitmap_info struct, since
that doesn't work with block sizes larger than 8K.  There was a big fixme in
there, and with all the work lately in allowing block size > page size, I
might as well kill the fixme as well.

Jeff Mahoney 3ee1667042 reiserfs: fix usage of signed ints for block numbers
Do a quick signedness check for block numbers.  There are a number of places
where signed integers are used for block numbers, which limits the usable file
system size to 8 TiB.  The disk format, excepting a problem which will be
fixed in the following patch, supports file systems up to 16 TiB in size.
This patch cleans up those sites so that we can enable the full usable size.

Jose R. Santos c2a9159cdd jbd: config_jbd_debug cannot create /proc entry
The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but
create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that
one directory deep.  This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no
proc file is created.

Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to
debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable.
The new location is now /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug.

Samuel Thibault b293d75847 Console events and accessibility
Some external modules like Speakup need to monitor console output.

This adds a VT notifier that such modules can use to get console output events:
allocation, deallocation, writes, other updates (cursor position, switch, etc.)

Samuel Thibault 41ab4396e1 Console keyboard events and accessibility
Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware
synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen.  They use the
PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and
also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are
typing, the caps lock status, etc.)

Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly.  Below is a patch to add a
notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog
above for details.

You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer.  The problem
is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all
input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently
active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes).

This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard
events and possibly eat them, at several stages:

- keycodes: even before translation into keysym.
- unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound.
- unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character.
- keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym.
- post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result
  (caps lock, etc.)

This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of
keypresses.

Miklos Szeredi 0e9663ee45 fuse: add blksize field to fuse_attr
There are cases when the filesystem will be passed the buffer from a single
read or write call, namely:

 1) in 'direct-io' mode (not O_DIRECT), read/write requests don't go
    through the page cache, but go directly to the userspace fs

 2) currently buffered writes are done with single page requests, but
    if Nick's ->perform_write() patch goes it, it will be possible to
    do larger write requests.  But only if the original write() was
    also bigger than a page.

In these cases the filesystem might want to give a hint to the app
about the optimal I/O size.

Allow the userspace filesystem to supply a blksize value to be returned by
stat() and friends.  If the field is zero, it defaults to the old
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE value.

Miklos Szeredi d139d7ffd0 VFS: allow filesystems to implement atomic open+truncate
Add a new attribute flag ATTR_OPEN, with the meaning: "truncation was
initiated by open() due to the O_TRUNC flag".

This way filesystems wanting to implement truncation within their ->open()
method can ignore such truncate requests.

This is a quick & dirty hack, but it comes for free.

Add necessary protocol changes for supplying a file handle with the getattr
operation.  Step the API version to 7.9.

This patch doesn't actually supply the file handle, because that needs some
kind of VFS support, which we haven't yet been able to agree upon.

Takashi Sato 0f0a89ebe1 ext3: support large blocksize up to PAGESIZE
This patch set supports large block size(>4k, <=64k) in ext3 just enlarging
the block size limit.  But it is NOT possible to have 64kB blocksize on
ext3 without some changes to the directory handling code.  The reason is
that an empty 64kB directory block would have a rec_len == (__u16)2^16 ==
0, and this would cause an error to be hit in the filesystem.  The proposed
solution is treat 64k rec_len with a an impossible value like rec_len =
0xffff to handle this.

The Patch-set consists of the following 2 patches.
  [1/2]  ext3: enlarge blocksize
         - Allow blocksize up to pagesize

  [2/2]  ext3: fix rec_len overflow
         - prevent rec_len from overflow with 64KB blocksize

Now on 64k page ppc64 box runs with this patch set we could create a 64k
block size ext3, and able to handle empty directory block.

We cannot define these as static inline functions due to an existing GCC

unregister_hotcpu_notifier).

Michael Neuling 4603ac180a powerpc: add scaled time accounting
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting.

POWER6 includes a SPURR register.  The SPURR is based off the PURR register
but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates.  This gives a more
accurate account of the instructions used per task.  The PURR and timebase
will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU
frequency.

This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which
is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit.
The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of
these accounted by the PURR.  If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read.

An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR
was read, which included the system call entry and exit path.
Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was
re-implemented.

I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6.  1st
column is the unpatch results.  2nd column is the results using the below
patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base.  4th and
5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older
patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).

Andrew Morgan 72c2d5823f V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcap
The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
can change the capabilities of another process, p2.  This is not the
meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
another.

Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.

The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
process can set the capabilities of another process.

The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
rules:

   pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
   pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
   pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0

at exec() time.  As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
capability set.

The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
- to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
are applied.

Here is how it works:

Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where

   (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.

That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
be present in pP.

The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
the above:

   if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
      pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0  */
   }

This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.

One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

Eric W. Biederman fc6cd25b73 sysctl: Error on bad sysctl tables
After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become
clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent
problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel.  I certainly
can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced.

Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl
table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table.

The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but
since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to
change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally
adds a new binary sysctl value.

As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up
now are legitimate.

There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except
for returning 0.  Which is not always what we want.  The few instances I have
seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of
sysctl_data.  While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential
for extra bugs.

So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric
I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a
function everyone can use.

Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly
formed sysctl tables much easier.

Tony Breeds 2c62214831 Fix discrepancy between VDSO based gettimeofday() and sys_gettimeofday().
On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to
include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user
calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr).

This patch adds a hook for architectures that set
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also
updatee their copy in the vdso.

Rafael J. Wysocki c7e0831d38 Hibernation: Check if ACPI is enabled during restore in the right place
The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on
some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325):
* Hibernate with ACPI enabled
* Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel

To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and
enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered
from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called
(ie.  with interrupts disabled).   Enabling ACPI after calling
device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient.

For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be
executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel.   To make it
work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c
(it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point).

Rafael J. Wysocki d158cbdf39 Hibernation: Arbitrary boot kernel support on x86_64
Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a
kernel different from the one in the image.

The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to
place each of them in a different page.   The first part belongs to the boot
kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory
restoration procedure.   Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page
that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages.

The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core
restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored.
This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores
the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from
before the hibernation.

The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of
the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address.
 However, this address may be passed to it in the image header.   Namely, the
part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the
image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data
that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image
kernel.   These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is
compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure
is concerned).  It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value
that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as
compatible.

Andres Salomon 8f4ce8c32f serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time option
Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep.  This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC).  There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.

This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend).  By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.

For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

general may be different from .prepare(), that will be used to prepare the
platform for creating the hibernation image (.prepare() is used anyway to
notify the platform that we're going to enter the low power state after the
image has been saved).

There are, at least, the following reasons to do that:
* 'struct pm_ops' is specifically related to suspend and not to the power

* As long as 'struct pm_ops' is defined in <linux/pm.h>, any modification of it
  causes the entire kernel to be recompiled, which is unnecessary and annoying.
* Some suspend-related features are already defined in <linux/suspend.h>, so it
  is logical to move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' into there.
* 'struct hibernation_ops', being the hibernation-related counterpart of
  'struct pm_ops', is defined in <linux/suspend.h> .

schedstat is useful in investigating CPU scheduler behavior.  Ideally,

This patch adds a new field to xfrm states called inner_mode.  The existing
mode object is renamed to outer_mode.

This is the first part of an attempt to fix inter-family transforms.  As it
is we always use the outer family when determining which mode to use.  As a
result we may end up shoving IPv4 packets into netfilter6 and vice versa.

What we really want is to use the inner family for the first part of outbound
processing and the outer family for the second part.  For inbound processing
we'd use the opposite pairing.

I've also added a check to prevent silly combinations such as transport mode
with inter-family transforms.

fields in the inet_frag_queue(). Then return the result
to the caller to initialize the rest.

The inet_frag_alloc() may return NULL, so check the 
return value before doing the container_of(). This looks 
ugly, but the xxx_frag_alloc() will be removed soon.

The xxx_expire() timer callbacks are patches, 
because the argument is now the inet_frag_queue, not 
the protocol specific queue.

Pavel Emelyanov 2588fe1d78 [INET]: Consolidate xxx_frag_intern
This routine checks for the existence of a given entry
in the hash table and inserts the new one if needed.

The ->equal callback is used to compare two frag_queue-s
together, but this one is temporary and will be removed
later. The netfilter code and the ipv6 one use the same
routine to compare frags.

The inet_frag_intern() always returns non-NULL pointer,
so convert the inet_frag_queue into protocol specific
one (with the container_of) without any checks.

David S. Miller 24f287e412 [SPARC64]: Implement atomic backoff.
When the cpu count is high and contention hits an atomic object, the
processors can synchronize such that some cpus continually get knocked
out and cannot complete the atomic update.

So implement an exponential backoff when SMP.
