This patch introduces a new sysctl:
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi
which defaults to 0 (off).
When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.[ SuSE has been shipping it for a while, it was done at the
request of a large database vendor, for their users. ]Signed-off-by: Kurt Garloff

Yanmin noticed that fault_in_user_writeable() requests 4 pages instead
of one.That's the result of blindly trusting Linus' proposal :) I even looked
up the prototype to verify the correctness: the argument in question
is confusingly enough named "len" while in reality it means number of
pages.Pointed-out-by: Yanmin Zhang

In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any
reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
another race fix in jfs_check_acl()
Get "no acls for this inode" right, fix shmem breakage

audit: inode watches depend on CONFIG_AUDIT not CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL -
Even though one cannot make use of the audit watch code without
CONFIG_AUDIT_SYSCALL the spaghetti nature of the audit code means that
the audit rule filtering requires that it at least be compiled.Thus build the audit_watch code when we build auditfilter like it was
before cfcad62c74abfef83762dc05a556d21bdf3980a2Clearly this is a point of potential future cleanup..

commit 64d1304a64 (futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which
modify user space data) did address only half of the problem of write
access faults.The patch was made on two wrong assumptions:
1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access.
On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check.
2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us.
That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call
mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that
call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the
actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again.The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write
access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to
fault it in with verification of write access.There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault
the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will
fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF
overhead.If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it
anymore and need to bail out to user space.Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.

When the kernel is configured with CONFIG_TIMER_STATS but timer
stats are runtime disabled we still get calls to
__timer_stats_timer_set_start_info which initializes some
fields in the corresponding struct timer_list.So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions
to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info
when timer stats are disabled.In an artificial workload that does nothing but playing ping
pong with a single tcp packet via loopback this decreases cpu
consumption by 1 - 1.5%.This is part of a modified function trace output on SLES11:

When the output of set_ftrace_filter is larger than PAGE_SIZE,
t_hash_start() will be called the 2nd time, and then we start
from the head of a hlist, which is wrong and causes some entries
to be outputed twice.The worse is, if the hlist is large enough, reading set_ftrace_filter
won't stop but in a dead loop.Reviewed-by: Liming Wang

It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is
incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented.This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way.
Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer
hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable:static void *t_start(...)
{
...
if (!p)
return t_hash_start(m, pos);
return p;

While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries
were missing when reading available_events. The output size of
available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page.The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start().
Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events
can race with module unload:# cat available_events |
s_start() |
s_stop() |
| # rmmod foo.ko
s_start() |
call = list_entry(m->private) |@call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.

A number of places in the audit system we send an op= followed by a string
that includes spaces. Somehow this works but it's just wrong. This patch
moves all of those that I could find to be quoted.Example:

audit_update_watch() runs all of the rules for a given watch and duplicates
them, attaches a new watch to them, and then when it finishes that process
and has called free on all of the old rules (ok maybe still inside the rcu
grace period) it proceeds to use the last element from list_for_each_entry_safe()
as if it were a krule rather than being the audit_watch which was anchoring
the list to output a message about audit rules changing.This patch unfies the audit message from two different places into a helper
function and calls it from the correct location in audit_update_rules(). We
will now get an audit message about the config changing for each rule (with
each rules filterkey) rather than the previous garbage.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris
-
The audit execve record splitting code estimates the length of the message
generated. But it forgot to include the "" that wrap each string in its
estimation. This means that execve messages with lots of tiny (1-2 byte)
arguments could still cause records greater than 8k to be emitted. Simply
fix the estimate.Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only
initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring
boot in SLAB due to doing that too late.Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others).
Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and
replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and
