2006-12-07[PATCH] Fix the size limit of compat space msgsizesuzuki3-27/+46
Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [ by copy_in_user]. This patch introduces helper routines for sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below: do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with the msqid and msgflg. do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to the buffer. The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the caller. These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace ( thus removing the size limt ) and the overhead of an extra copy_in_user().

2006-12-07[PATCH] PCEngines WRAP LED SupportKristian Kielhofner3-0/+149
A driver for the PCEngines WRAP boards (http://www.pcengines.ch), which are very similar to the Soekris net4801 (same NS SC1100 geode reference design). The LEDs on the WRAP are on different GPIO lines and I have modified and copied the net48xx error led support for this. It also includes support for an "extra" led (in addition to error). The three LEDs on the WRAP are at GPIO lines 2,3,18 (WRAP LEDs from left to right). This driver gives access to the second and third LEDs by twiddling GPIO lines 3 & 18. Because these boards are so similar to the net48xx, I basically sed-ed that driver to form the basis for leds-wrap.c. The only changes from leds-net48xx.c are: - #define WRAP_EXTRA_LED_GPIO - name changes - duplicate relevant sections to provide support for the "extra" led - reverse the various *_led_set values. The WRAP is "backwards" from the net48xx, and these needed to be updated for that.

2006-12-07[PATCH] HZ: 300Hz supportAlan Cox1-5/+15
Fix two things. Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ". Secondly it is useful to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work. 250 is fine for us in Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants). 300 gives us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60. It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz. I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess disruption for now.

2006-12-07[PATCH] corrupted cramfs filesystems cause kernel oopsPhillip Lougher1-0/+2
Steve Grubb's fzfuzzer tool (http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/ fsfuzzer-0.6.tar.gz) generates corrupt Cramfs filesystems which cause Cramfs to kernel oops in cramfs_uncompress_block(). The cause of the oops is an unchecked corrupted block length field read by cramfs_readpage(). This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the block length field is sensible. The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than the original source data. Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is always less than or equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1. Of course Cramfs could use the original uncompressed data in this case, but it doesn't.

2006-12-07[PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpusDerek Fults2-2/+40
This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed to command line helper function, get_options. Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a list of cpus. 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> Signed-off-by: Derek Fults <dfults@sgi.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] Correct misc_register return code handling in several driversNeil Horman5-7/+26
Clean up several code points in which the return code from misc_register is not handled properly. Several modules failed to deregister various hooks when misc_register fails, and this patch cleans them up. Also there are a few modules that legitimately don't care about the failure status of misc register. These drivers however unilaterally call misc_deregister on module unload. Since misc_register doesn't initialize the list_head in the init_routine if it fails, the deregister operation is at risk for oopsing when list_del is called. The initial solution was to manually init the list in the miscdev structure in each of those modules, but the consensus in this thread was to consolodate and do that universally inside misc_register.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Compile-time check re world-writeable module paramsAlexey Dobriyan1-0/+3
One of the mistakes a module_param() user can make is to supply default value of module parameter as the last argument. module_param() accepts permissions instead. If default value is, say, 3 (-------wx), parameter becomes world-writeable. So far, the only remedy was to apply grep(1) and read drivers submitted to -mm. BTDT. With this patch applied, compiler will finally do some job. *) bounds checking on permissions *) world-writeable bit checking on permissions *) compile breakage if checks trigger First version of this check (only "& 2" part) directly caught 4 out of 7 places during my last grep.

2006-12-07[PATCH] taskstats: use nla_reserve() for reply assemblingOleg Nesterov1-42/+44
Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do: 1) allocate stats 2) fill stats 3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes) 4) copy that copy to skb 5) free stats With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly, thus avoiding all these steps except 2). So, before this patch: // copy *stats to skb->data int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats); fill_pid(stats); mk_reply(skb, ..., stats); After: // return a pointer to skb->data struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...); stat = mk_reply(skb, ...); fill_pid(stats); Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes. A stupid benchmark (send one million TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID) shows the real user sys before: 4.02 0.06 3.96 4.02 0.04 3.98 4.02 0.04 3.97 after: 3.86 0.08 3.78 3.88 0.10 3.77 3.89 0.09 3.80 but this looks suspiciously good.

2006-12-07[PATCH] taskstats: factor out reply assemblingOleg Nesterov1-27/+28
Introduce mk_reply() helper which does all nla_put()s on reply. Saves 453 bytes and a preparation for the next patch.

2006-12-07[PATCH] taskstats: cleanup ->signal->stats allocationOleg Nesterov3-26/+25
Allocate ->signal->stats on demand in taskstats_exit(), this allows us to remove taskstats_tgid_alloc() (the last non-trivial inline) from taskstat's public interface.

2006-12-07[PATCH] taskstats: cleanup do_exit() pathOleg Nesterov3-47/+19
do_exit: taskstats_exit_alloc() ... taskstats_exit_send() taskstats_exit_free() I think this is not good, let it be a single function exported to the core kernel, taskstats_exit(), which does alloc + send + free itself.

2006-12-07[PATCH] taskstats_exit_alloc: optimize/simplifyOleg Nesterov1-13/+4
If there are no listeners, every task does unneeded kmem_cache alloc/free on exit. We don't need listeners->sem for 'if (!list_empty())' check. Yes, we may have a false positive, but this doesn't differ from the case when the listener is unregistered after we drop the semaphore. So we don't need to do allocation beforehand.
