2008-12-29sparseirq: move __weak symbols into separate compilation unitYinghai Lu
GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override the weak alias with the real thing. So move all the IRQ handling related __weak symbols to kernel/irq/chip.c. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-29aio: make the lookup_ioctx() locklessJens Axboe
The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock, so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion. There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense to look into fancier data structures. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Impact: cleanup init_one_irq_desc() does not initialize the desc->lock properly - you cannot init a lock by memcpying some other lock on it.

CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ breaks this assumption, but SPARSE_IRQ version for_each_irq_desc() also can move into irqnr.h easily.

2008-12-23ring-buffer: prevent false positive warningSteven Rostedt
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page, the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page. Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed the commit page forward as stated above. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data.

2008-12-20Null pointer deref with hrtimer_try_to_cancel()Thomas Gleixner
Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

2008-12-19printk: fix discarding message when recursion_bugHiroshi Shimamoto
