commit d6580a9f15238b87e618310c862231ae3f352d2d ("kexec: sysrq: simplify
sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional
dereference of NULL pointer. So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where
crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said
that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump.However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in
panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will
not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1. It means that even if dump is
properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface
might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start
crashdump. This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e. people who
expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc
interface.This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in
line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler.And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is
no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just
crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto

* 'zero-length' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6:
Remove zero-length file drivers/char/vr41xx_giu.c -
We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a54297478e6578f96fd54bf4daa1751130aca86: "pty: quickfix for the
pty ENXIO timing problems").Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi

If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second
argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites
the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not
need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple
spin_lock.The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

The buffer for the consoles are unconditionally allocated at con_init()
time, which miss the creation of the vcs(a) devices.Since 2.6.30 (commit 4995f8ef9d3aac72745e12419d7fbaa8d01b1d81, 'vcs:
hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"' to be
exact) these devices are no longer created at open() and removed on
close(), but controlled by the lifetime of the buffers.Reported-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi

If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
- echo characters are pending
- FASYNC is enabled
- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
- a device write path (pty)
- an IRQ (serial)then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.
On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.The code path is
n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
tty_io:tty_put_char()
pty:pty_write (or serial paths)
tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ)
n_tty_write_wakeup()
process_echoes()

Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now
available at the time the console is initialized.Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem,
it's always slab.This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly:
Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator")
replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to

Currently we reinit the ldisc on final tty close which is what the old code
did to ensure that if the device retained its termios settings then it had the
right ldisc. tty_ldisc_reinit does that but also leaves us with the reset
ldisc reference which is then leaked.At this point we know the port will be recycled so we can kill the ldisc
off completely rather than try and add another ldisc free up when the kref
count hits zero.At this point it is safe to keep the ldisc closed as tty_ldisc waiting
methods are only used from the user side, and as the final close we are
the last such reference. Interrupt/driver side methods will always use the
non wait version and get back a NULL.Found with kmemleak and investigated/identified by Catalin Marinas.

advertise that it is a 4k BSR to userspace. I think this is the best
solution since user programs are only supposed to look at sysfs to
determine how much can be mapped, and libbsr does this as well.Please consider for 2.6.31 as a fix, thanks.
