9898abb3d2 Dynamic debug: allow simple quoting of words
Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language.

This allows more natural specification when using the control language
to match against printk formats, e.g

#echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' >
	/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

instead of

#echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' >
	/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a
new example.  Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to
reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the
control file.  Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

f520360d93 kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent
Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
call_usermode_helper().  Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
during the system boot.

This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
do not wait for keventd to process the work.

This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.

[Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
excuted at all -- gregkh]

f67f129e51 Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

[This version is against the latest driver-core patch set of Greg,please
ignore the last version.]

aa8e4fc68d bitmap: fix end condition in bitmap_find_free_region
Guennadi Liakhovetski noticed that the end condition for the loop in
bitmap_find_free_region() is wrong, and the "return if error" was also
using the wrong conditional that would only trigger if the bitmap was an
exact multiple of the allocation size, which is not necessarily the case
with dma_alloc_from_coherent().

Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing
beyond the end of the bitmap.

9080021612 nlattr: Fix build error with NET off
We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order
for it to be available for general consumption.  However, parts
of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on
NET because the target object is sk_buff.

This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET.

1b23336ad9 idr: make idr_remove_all() do removal -before- free_layer()
Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data
element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element
inaccessible to new readers.  This is very bad, and results in readers
still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace
period.

Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory
within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five
minutes.  Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the
three-to-eight-hour range.

There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and
sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first.  It is
therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

4ab0a9409a cpumask: convert lib/smp_processor_id to new cpumask ops
Impact: fix debug_smp_processor_id() for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

The scheduler now uses the new cpumask API, which deals up to
nr_cpumask_bits, whereas the API used NR_CPUS bits.

If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y these two are not equal, so the top bits
are undefined.  Leading to bug 12518 "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible [00000000] code: dellWirelessCtl/..."

Eliminate the plist library kconfig and make it available
unconditionally.

5b019e9901 lib/idr.c: use kmem_cache_zalloc() for the idr_layer cache
David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs
to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be
uninitialized upon next use.  This causes crashes which have been observed
in the firewire subsystem.

He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all().

But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object
at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery
and might even be faster.

This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit
cf481c20c4), which was first released in
2.6.27.

There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer.

There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and
2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those
kernel versions.  I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to
backport this fix.

f4b477c473 rbtree: add const qualifier to some functions
The 'rb_first()', 'rb_last()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_prev()' calls
take a pointer to an RB node or RB root. They do not change the
pointed objects, so add a 'const' qualifier in order to make life
of the users of these functions easier.

Indeed, if I have my own constant pointer &const struct my_type *p,
and I call 'rb_next(&p->rb)', I get a GCC warning:

warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rb_next’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type
