Akinobu Mita 329409aeda [PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering
This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.

For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.

- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
  --> kmem_cache_alloc

This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.

The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)

So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt

Akinobu Mita 8a8b6502fb [PATCH] fault-injection capability for kmalloc
This patch provides fault-injection capability for kmalloc.

Boot option:

failslab=<interval>,<probability>,<space>,<times>

	<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.

	<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<space> -- specifies the size of free space where memory can be
		   allocated safely in bytes.

	<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

Debugfs:

/debug/failslab/interval
/debug/failslab/probability
/debug/failslab/specifies
/debug/failslab/times
/debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-highmem
/debug/failslab/ignore-gfp-wait

Example:

	failslab=10,100,0,-1

slab allocation (kmalloc(), kmem_cache_alloc(),..) fails once per 10 times.

Akinobu Mita de1ba09b21 [PATCH] fault injection: documentation and scripts
This patch set provides some fault-injection capabilities.

- kmalloc() failures

- alloc_pages() failures

- disk IO errors

We can see what really happens if those failures happen.

In order to enable these fault-injection capabilities:

1. Enable relevant config options (CONFIG_FAILSLAB, CONFIG_PAGE_ALLOC,
   CONFIG_MAKE_REQUEST) and if you want to configure them via debugfs,
   enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS.

2. Build and boot with this kernel

3. Configure fault-injection capabilities behavior by boot option or debugfs

   - Boot option

     failslab=
     fail_page_alloc=
     fail_make_request=

   - Debugfs

     /debug/failslab/*
     /debug/fail_page_alloc/*
     /debug/fail_make_request/*

   Please refer to the Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
   for details.

4. See what really happens.

There is no manpower available to reform oui.db into a library for use

(NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from
deep within the wakeup path.)

akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched.  lock_sock(), msleep(), others..

akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise.  Presumably doing disk

Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a

Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
Valid values of <cpu_number>  include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in
system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of
cpus on a large system.  The kernel isolcpus code would not need any
changing to use this feature.  To use it, the change would be in the
command line format for 'isolcpus='
Format:
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
or
<cpu number>-<cpu number>  (must be a positive range in ascending
order.)
or a mixture
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>

Miklos Szeredi d6392f873f [PATCH] fuse: add support for block device based filesystems
I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device
based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs).

The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems.
Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser
privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility).

Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing.

This patch adds a 'fuseblk' filesystem type, which is only different from the
'fuse' filesystem type in how the 'dev_name' mount argument is interpreted.

Paul Menage 3395ee0588 [PATCH] mm: add noaliencache boot option to disable numa alien caches
When using numa=fake on non-NUMA hardware there is no benefit to having the
alien caches, and they consume much memory.

Add a kernel boot option to disable them.

Christoph sayeth "This is good to have even on large NUMA.  The problem is
that the alien caches grow by the square of the size of the system in terms of
nodes."

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 16663a87ad ACPI: ibm-acpi: implement fan watchdog command
This patch implements a fan control safety watchdog, by request of the
authors of userspace fan control scripts.

When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable"
command is executed.  The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a
fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself.

This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make
sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace
problems.

Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current
implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely,
anyway.  Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead.

The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where
number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero
disables the watchdog.

	1. Support level 0 as an equivalent to disable
	2. Add support for level auto and level disengaged when doing
	   EC 0x2f fan control
	3. Support enable/disable for all level-based write access modes

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 60eb0b35a9 ACPI: ibm-acpi: Implement direct-ec-access thermal reading modes for up to 16 sensors
This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly
through ACPI EC register access.  It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads
with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward-
compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and
export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7.

Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor
new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature.  The
code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC
access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss.

Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is
extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors.

A documentation update is also provided.

The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying
ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by
subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist.  Futher information was
gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in
recent ThinkPads.

DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are
actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never
did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second
range of sensors.

Zachary Amsden 8542b200cb [PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer check
Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option.  The
VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which
probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings.  It fires
100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using
a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs
have not yet been delivered.

In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug
could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter
SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs.

While here, make check_timer be __init.

Gerrit Renker ba4e58eca8 [NET]: Supporting UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) in Linux
This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters
the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner:

	* UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files
	* source file dependencies resolved via header files
	  net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h
	* order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted
	  accordingly

[NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)

This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an
extension to the existing UDPv4 code:
        * generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
        * UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
        * shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage

[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6

It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
        * UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
        * UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
        * support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
        * aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
        * made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
          to return `-1' on error on all error cases
        * consolidation of shared code

[NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support

The UDP-Lite patch further provides
        * API documentation for UDP-Lite
        * basic xfrm support
        * basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)

This adds 3 sysctls which govern the retransmission behaviour of DCCP control
packets (3way handshake, feature negotiation).

It removes 4 FIXMEs from the code.

The close resemblance of sysctl variables to their TCP analogues is emphasised
not only by their name, but also by giving them the same initial values.
This is useful since there is not much practical experience with DCCP yet.

Furthermore, with regard to the previous patch, it is now possible to limit
the number of keepalive-Responses by setting net.dccp.default.request_retries
(also a bit like in TCP).

Lastly, added documentation of all existing DCCP sysctls.

This patch does the following:
  a) introduces variable-length checksums as specified in [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2]
  b) provides necessary socket options and documentation as to how to use them
  c) basic support and infrastructure for the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature
     [RFC 4340, sec. 9.2.1]: acceptability tests, user notification and user
     interface

In addition, it

 (1) fixes two bugs in the DCCPv4 checksum computation:
 	* pseudo-header used checksum_len instead of skb->len
	* incorrect checksum coverage calculation based on dccph_x
 (2) removes dccp_v4_verify_checksum() since it reduplicates code of the
     checksum computation; code calling this function is updated accordingly.
 (3) now uses skb_checksum(), which is safer than checksum_partial() if the
     sk_buff has is a non-linear buffer (has pages attached to it).
 (4) fixes an outstanding TODO item:
        * If P.CsCov is too large for the packet size, drop packet and return.

The code has been tested with applications, the latest version of tcpdump now
comes with support for partial DCCP checksums.

David Brownell c957b32406 Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt update/rewrite
This is almost a rewrite of the driver-model/platform.txt documentation;
the previous text was obsolete (for several years), evidently it never
got updated to match the change from being a PC "legacy_bus" to the more
widely used core bus for most embedded systems.

Mariusz Kozlowski 3c8961ee6d usb: writing_usb_driver free urb cleanup
Allright. As Greg KH suggested I split this big patch into smaller ones to
make the changes easier to review. Having no better idea how to split that I 
split it on a 'patch per file' basis. All those patches clean redundant 'if' before 
usb_unlink/free/kill_urb():

if (urb)
	usb_free_urb(urb); /* unlink / free / kill */

I decided not to touch bigger 'if's like 

if (urb) {
	usb_kill_urb(urb);
	usb_free_urb(urb);
	urb = NULL;
}

as that would be probably too intrusive. One of patches also fixes 
drivers/usb/misc/auerswald.c memleak I found when digging the code. All those
patches are against 2.6.19-rc4.

Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that

Eric W. Biederman 13bb7e37e5 [PATCH] sysctl: Undeprecate sys_sysctl
The basic issue is that despite have been deprecated and warned about as a
very bad thing in the man pages since its inception there are a few real
users of sys_sysctl.  It was my assumption that because sysctl had been
deprecated for all of 2.6 there would be no user space users by this point,
so I initially gave sys_sysctl a very short deprecation period.

Now that I know there are a few real users the only sane way to proceed
with deprecation is to push the time limit out to a year or two work and
work with distributions that have big testing pools like fedora core to
find these last remaining users.

Which means that the sys_sysctl interface needs to be maintained in the
meantime.

Since I have provided a technical measure that allows us to add new sysctl
entries without reserving more binary numbers I believe that is enough to
fix the sys_sysctl binary interface maintenance problems, because there is
no longer a need to change the binary interface at all.

Since the sys_sysctl implementation needs to stay around for a while and
the worst of the maintenance issues that caused us to occasionally break
the ABI have been addressed I don't see any advantage in continuing with
the removal of sys_sysctl.

So instead of merely increasing the deprecation period this patch removes
the deprecation of sys_sysctl and modifies the kernel to compile the code
in by default.

With committing to maintain sys_sysctl we get all of the advantages of a
fast interface for anything that needs it.  Currently sys_sysctl is about
5x faster than /proc/sys, for the same string data.

Add a swsusp debugging mode.  This does everything that's needed for a suspend
except for actually suspending.  So we can look in the log messages and work
out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving.

(1)
# echo testproc > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state

This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5
seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU.

(2)
# echo test > /sys/power/disk
# echo disk > /sys/power/state

This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink
memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc.

 * MIPS clocksource support (based on works by Manish Lachwani).
 * remove unused gettimeoffset routines and related codes.
 * remove unised 64bit do_div64_32().
 * simplify mips_hpt_init. (no argument needed, __init tag)
 * simplify c0_hpt_timer_init. (no need to write to c0_count)
 * remove some hpt_init routines.
 * mips_hpt_mask variable to specify bitmask of hpt value.
 * convert jmr3927_do_gettimeoffset to jmr3927_hpt_read.
 * convert ip27_do_gettimeoffset to ip27_hpt_read.
 * convert bcm1480_do_gettimeoffset to bcm1480_hpt_read.
 * simplify sb1250 hpt functions. (no need to subtract and shift)
