execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and

a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new

When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time
spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice.
So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system
when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument size
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not
check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack.
When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON.
This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to
create a crash pretty easily.
Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible
to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual
executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those
mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But
that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a

We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was
logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and
we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking
the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the
cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request
on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU
to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map.
This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu
to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to
complete the I/O.

mm: page allocator: drain per-cpu lists after direct reclaim allocation fails
When under significant memory pressure, a process enters direct reclaim
and immediately afterwards tries to allocate a page. If it fails and no
further progress is made, it's possible the system will go OOM. However,
on systems with large amounts of memory, it's possible that a significant
number of pages are on per-cpu lists and inaccessible to the calling
process. This leads to a process entering direct reclaim more often than
it should increasing the pressure on the system and compounding the
problem.
This patch notes that if direct reclaim is making progress but allocations
are still failing that the system is already under heavy pressure. In
this case, it drains the per-cpu lists and tries the allocation a second

mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake
Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is
cheaper than scanning a number of lists. To avoid synchronization
overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained
both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold. On large CPU
systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of
NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than
number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min
watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero. Even if
the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free
memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock.
This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of
Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat
counter. It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid
the watermark being accidentally broken. The estimate is not perfect and
may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the
IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd
is awake.

mm: page allocator: update free page counters after pages are placed on the free list
When allocating a page, the system uses NR_FREE_PAGES counters to
determine if watermarks would remain intact after the allocation was made.
This check is made without interrupts disabled or the zone lock held and
so is race-prone by nature. Unfortunately, when pages are being freed in
batch, the counters are updated before the pages are added on the list.
During this window, the counters are misleading as the pages do not exist
yet. When under significant pressure on systems with large numbers of
CPUs, it's possible for processes to make progress even though they should
have been stalled. This is particularly problematic if a number of the
processes are using GFP_ATOMIC as the min watermark can be accidentally
breached and in extreme cases, the system can livelock.
This patch updates the counters after the pages have been added to the
list. This makes the allocator more cautious with respect to preserving
the watermarks and mitigates livelock possibilities.

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD
Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs
show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware
updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting
completion at the block layer. While discard at swapon still shows as
slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating
is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV).
Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help
for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements.
So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping
conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using
only the lower 16 bits of int flags).
We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in
/etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

The swap code already uses synchronous discards, no need to add I/O
barriers.
This fixes the worst of the terrible slowdown in swap allocation for
hibernation, reported on 2.6.35 by Nigel Cunningham; but does not entirely
eliminate that regression.

swap: prevent reuse during hibernation
Move the hibernation check from scan_swap_map() into try_to_free_swap():
to catch not only the common case when hibernation's allocation itself
triggers swap reuse, but also the less likely case when concurrent page
reclaim (shrink_page_list) might happen to try_to_free_swap from a page.
Hibernation already clears __GFP_IO from the gfp_allowed_mask, to stop
reclaim from going to swap: check that to prevent swap reuse too.

swap: revert special hibernation allocation
Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit
d2997b1042ec150616c1963b5e5e919ffd0b0ebf
"hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation". It complicated matters by
adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any
way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after
fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as
swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of
the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as
clean then swapped back in. Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in
danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path.
I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation,
as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on
the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a
separate fix.

bounce: call flush_dcache_page() after bounce_copy_vec()
I have been seeing problems on Tegra 2 (ARMv7 SMP) systems with HIGHMEM

maintenance lazily), and the root cause appears to be that the mm bouncing

The bounced page needs to be flushed after data is copied into it, to
ensure that architecture implementations can synchronize instruction and
data caches if necessary.

gpio: sx150x: correct and refine reset-on-probe behavior
Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe

- It is defective. To work correctly, it should be two byte writes,
not a single word write. As it stands, it does nothing.
- Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins
ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset -
not a nice thing to do arbitrarily!
- The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset,
so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway.
Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the
common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken

Iram reported that compaction's too_many_isolated() loops forever.

The meminfo when the situation happened was inactive anon is zero. That's
because the system has no memory pressure until then. While all anon
pages were in the active lru, compaction could select active lru as well
as inactive lru. That's a different thing from vmscan's isolated. So we
has been two too_many_isolated.
While compaction can isolate pages in both active and inactive, current
implementation of too_many_isolated only considers inactive. It made
Iram's problem.
This patch handles active and inactive fairly. That's because we can't
expect where from and how many compaction would isolated pages.
This patch changes (nr_isolated > nr_inactive) with

This patch fixes these problems by changing the gcov-kernel infrastructure
so that multiple profiling data sets can be associated with one debugfs
entry. It applies to 2.6.36-rc1.

O_DIRECT: fix the splitting up of contiguous I/O
commit
c2c6ca4 (direct-io: do not merge logically non-contiguous requests)
introduced a bug whereby all O_DIRECT I/Os were submitted a page at a time
to the block layer. The problem is that the code expected
dio->block_in_file to correspond to the current page in the dio. In fact,
it corresponds to the previous page submitted via submit_page_section.
This was purely an oversight, as the dio->cur_page_fs_offset field was
introduced for just this purpose. This patch simply uses the correct
variable when calculating whether there is a mismatch between contiguous
logical blocks and contiguous physical blocks (as described in the
comments).
I also switched the if conditional following this check to an else if, to
ensure that we never call dio_bio_submit twice for the same dio (in
theory, this should not happen, anyway).
I've tested this by running blktrace and verifying that a 64KB I/O was
submitted as a single I/O. I also ran the patched kernel through
xfstests' aio tests using xfs, ext4 (with 1k and 4k block sizes) and btrfs
and verified that there were no regressions as compared to an unpatched
kernel.

rtc-bfin: fix state restoration when resuming
Much (but not all) of the RTC state is kept in the RTC peripheral which
has its own power domain. Periodically (1 HZ), that state is synced from
one power domain to the other (peripheral->core). When we are resuming,
we need to wait for the sync to occur so that we don't get a mismatch of
reading undefined state in the rest of the driver.
Further, once the externally maintained bits have been synced back into
the core, we then need to restore the bits maintained in the core. In our
particular case, that is just the write completion interrupt bit.
If we don't do any of this, working with the RTC causes ~5 second delays
from time to time after waking up due to the write completion interrupt
never firing.

The introduction of support for SD combo cards breaks the initialization

| By itself, the code will run forever with no issues. However, as we
| increase our bus traffic (typically using DMA) then the *tmp = 0x77
| line will eventually cause a page fault. If we add a small delay (a
| few microseconds) before the *tmp = 0x77, then we don't see a page
| fault, even under heavy load.
A dsb() is required after modifying the PTE entries to ensure that they
will always be visible. Add this dsb().

tracing/kprobe: Fix handling of C-unlike argument names
Check the argument name whether it is invalid (not C-like symbol name). This
makes event format simple.

tracing/kprobes: Fix handling of argument names
Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has no specified name.
Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its
argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+').
However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially
'%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user
omitted the argument names.
E.g.
# echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events
# cat tracing/kprobe_events
p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack
