  • The file rcutiny.c does not need moduleparam.h header, as
    there are no modparams in this file.

    However rcutiny_plugin.h does define a module_init() and
    a module_exit() and it uses the various MODULE_ macros, so
    it really does need module.h included.

  • Through various other implicit include paths, some files were
    getting the full module.h file, and hence living the illusion
    that they really only needed moduleparam.h -- but the reality
    is that once you remove the module.h presence, these show up:

    kernel/params.c:583: warning: ‘struct module_kobject’ declared inside parameter list

    Such files really require module.h so simply make it so. As the
    file module.h grabs moduleparam.h on the fly, all will be well.

  • With the module.h usage cleanup, we'll get this:

    kernel/ksysfs.c:161: error: ‘S_IRUGO’ undeclared here (not in a function)
    make[2]: *** [kernel/ksysfs.o] Error 1

  • Up until now, this file was getting percpu.h because nearly every
    file was implicitly getting module.h (and all its sub-includes).
    But we want to clean that up, so call out percpu.h explicitly.
    Otherwise we'll get things like this on an ARM build:

    kernel/irq_work.c:48: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'irq_work_list'
    kernel/irq_work.c:48: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'DEFINE_PER_CPU'

    The same thing was happening for builds on ARM for asm/processor.h

    kernel/irq_work.c: In function 'irq_work_sync':
    kernel/irq_work.c:166: error: implicit declaration of function 'cpu_relax'

  • These files were implicitly relying on coming in via
    module.h, as without it we get things like:

    kernel/power/suspend.c:100: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usermodehelper_disable’
    kernel/power/suspend.c:109: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usermodehelper_enable’
    kernel/power/user.c:254: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usermodehelper_disable’
    kernel/power/user.c:261: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usermodehelper_enable’

    kernel/sys.c:317: error: implicit declaration of function ‘usermodehelper_disable’
    kernel/sys.c:1816: error: implicit declaration of function ‘call_usermodehelper_setup’
    kernel/sys.c:1822: error: implicit declaration of function ‘call_usermodehelper_setfns’

  • These files are doing things like module_put and try_module_get
    so they need to call out the module.h for explicit inclusion,
    rather than getting it via which we ideally want
    to remove the module.h inclusion from.

  • The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
    EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them
    onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

    Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

    -#include
    +#include

    This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
    will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

  • This file isn't doing anything with modules and so it should
    not be including just to get basic stuff
    like printk() and min/max. Revector it to .

    Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c manually.

    Ingo's tree did the insane "add volatile to const array", which just
    doesn't make sense ("volatile const"?). But we could remove the const
    *and* make the array volatile to make doubly sure that gcc doesn't
    optimize it away..

    Also fix up kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c non-data-conflicts manually: the
    reader_lock has been turned into a raw lock by the core locking merge,
    and there was a new user of it introduced in this perf core merge. Make
    sure that new use also uses the raw accessor functions.

  • The user may use "foo-bar" for a kernel parameter defined as "foo_bar".
    Make sure it works the other way around too.

    Apply the equality of dashes and underscores on early_params and __setup
    params as well.

    The example given in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt indicates that
    this is the intended behaviour.

    With the patch the kernel accepts "log-buf-len=1M" as expected.

  • Due to post-increment in condition of kmod_loop_msg in __request_module(),
    the system log can be spammed by much more than 5 instances of the 'runaway
    loop' message if the number of events triggering it makes the kmod_loop_msg
    to overflow.

    Fix that by making sure we never increment it past the threshold.

    Where the first one is enabling a CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID timer, and

    This problem was introduced by e8abccb7193 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure
    SMP accounting oddities").

    Cure the problem by removing the cputimer->lock and rq->lock nesting,
    this leaves concurrent enablers doing duplicate work, but the time
    wasted should be on the same order otherwise wasted spinning on the
    lock and the greater-than assignment filter should ensure we preserve
    monotonicity.

  • The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code
    for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the
    compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is).

    Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where
    Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some
    subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all
    indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable
    length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to
    chase it down.

    "Just don't do that, then".

  • This adds a mechanism to resume selected IRQs during syscore_resume
    instead of dpm_resume_noirq.

    Under Xen we need to resume IRQs associated with IPIs early enough
    that the resched IPI is unmasked and we can therefore schedule
    ourselves out of the stop_machine where the suspend/resume takes
    place.

    This issue was introduced by 676dc3cf5bc3 "xen: Use IRQF_FORCE_RESUME".

  • Use threads for LZO compression/decompression on hibernate/thaw.
    Improve buffering on hibernate/thaw.
    Calculate/verify CRC32 of the image pages on hibernate/thaw.

    In my testing, this improved write/read speed by a factor of about two.

  • TASK_KILLABLE is often used to put tasks to sleep for quite some time.
    One of the most common uses is to put tasks to sleep while waiting for
    replies from a server on a networked filesystem (such as CIFS or NFS).

    Unfortunately, fake_signal_wake_up does not currently wake up tasks
    that are sleeping in TASK_KILLABLE state. This means that even if the
    code were in place to allow them to freeze while in this sleep, it
    wouldn't work anyway.

    This patch changes this function to wake tasks in this state as well.
    This should be harmless -- if the code doing the sleeping doesn't have
    handling to deal with freezer events, it should just go back to sleep.
    If it does, then this will allow that code to do the right thing.

  • Patch "PM / Hibernate: Add resumewait param to support MMC-like
    devices as resume file" added the resumewait kernel command line
    option. The present patch adds resumedelay so that
    resumewait/delay were analogous to rootwait/delay.

  • Some devices like MMC are async detected very slow. For example,
    drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.c launches a 200ms delayed work to detect
    MMC partitions then add disk.

    We have wait_for_device_probe() and scsi_complete_async_scans()
    before calling swsusp_check(), but it is not enough to wait for MMC.

    This patch adds resumewait kernel param just like rootwait so
    that we have enough time to wait until MMC is ready. The difference is
    that we wait for resume partition whereas rootwait waits for rootfs
    partition (which may be on a different device).

    This patch will make hibernation support many embedded products
    without SCSI devices, but with devices like MMC.

  • There is a problem with the current ordering of hibernate code which
    leads to deadlocks in some filesystems' memory shrinkers. Namely,
    some filesystems use freezable kernel threads that are inactive when
    the hibernate memory preallocation is carried out. Those same
    filesystems use memory shrinkers that may be triggered by the
    hibernate memory preallocation. If those memory shrinkers wait for
    the frozen kernel threads, the hibernate process deadlocks (this
    happens with XFS, for one example).

    Apparently, it is not technically viable to redesign the filesystems
    in question to avoid the situation described above, so the only
    possible solution of this issue is to defer the freezing of kernel
    threads until the hibernate memory preallocation is done, which is
    implemented by this change.

    Unfortunately, this requires the memory preallocation to be done
    before the "prepare" stage of device freeze, so after this change the
    only way drivers can allocate additional memory for their freeze
    routines in a clean way is to use PM notifiers.

  • Introduce the config option CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE_SLEEP in order to cleanup
    the #if defined ugliness for the vt suspend support functions. Note that
    CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is already dependant on CONFIG_VT.

    The function pm_set_vt_switch is actually dependant on CONFIG_VT and not
    CONFIG_PM_SLEEP. This fixes a compile error when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is
    not set:

    drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:1794: error: redefinition of 'pm_set_vt_switch'
    include/linux/suspend.h:17: error: previous definition of 'pm_set_vt_switch' was here

    Also, remove the incorrect path from the comment in console.c.

    [rjw: Replaced #if defined() with #ifdef in suspend.h.]

  • In enter_state() we use "state" as an offset for the pm_states[]
    array. The pm_states[] array only has PM_SUSPEND_MAX elements so
    this test is off by one.
