2010-04-20ACPICA: Minimize the differences between linux GPE code and ACPICA code baseLin Ming
We have ported Rafael's major GPE changes (ACPI: Use GPE reference counting to support shared GPEs) into ACPICA code base. But the port and Rafael's original patch have some differences, so we made below patch to make linux GPE code consistent with ACPICA code base. Most changes are about comments and coding styles. Other noticeable changes are based on: Rafael: Reduce code duplication related to GPE lookup https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/86237/ Rafael: Always use the same lock for GPE locking https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/90471/ A new field gpe_count in struct acpi_gpe_block_info to record the number of individual GPEs in block.

2010-04-20ACPI: add boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to fix corrupt DSDTLin Ming
Some BIOS on Toshiba machines corrupt the DSDT, so add a new boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to workaround it. Add warning message to ask users to use this option if corrupt DSDT detected. Also build a DMI blacklist to check it and automatically copy DSDT. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14679 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2010-04-19rmap: add exclusively owned pages to the newest anon_vmaRik van Riel
The recent anon_vma fixes cause many anonymous pages to end up in the parent process anon_vma, even when the page is exclusively owned by the current process. Adding exclusively owned anonymous pages to the top anon_vma reduces rmap scanning overhead, especially in workloads with forking servers. This patch adds a parameter to __page_set_anon_rmap that can be used to indicate whether or not the added page is exclusively owned by the current process. Pages added through page_add_new_anon_rmap are exclusively owned by the current process, and can be added to the top anon_vma. Pages added through page_add_anon_rmap can be either shared or exclusively owned, so we do the conservative thing and add it to the oldest anon_vma. A next step would be to add the exclusive parameter to page_add_anon_rmap, to be used from functions where we do know for sure whether a page is exclusively owned.

2010-04-19eCryptfs: Turn lower lookup error messages into debug messagesTyler Hicks
Vaugue warnings about ENAMETOOLONG errors when looking up an encrypted file name have caused many users to become concerned about their data. Since this is a rather harmless condition, I'm moving this warning to only be printed when the ecryptfs_verbosity module param is 1. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2010-04-19eCryptfs: Copy lower directory inode times and size on linkTyler Hicks

2010-04-19ecryptfs: fix use with tmpfs by removing d_drop from ecryptfs_destroy_inodeJeff Mahoney
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0. ->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed. When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in 2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well. The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage. As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed. tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries, but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG(). This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

2010-04-19ecryptfs: fix error code for missing xattrs in lower fsChristian Pulvermacher
If the lower file system driver has extended attributes disabled, ecryptfs' own access functions return -ENOSYS instead of -EOPNOTSUPP. This breaks execution of programs in the ecryptfs mount, since the kernel expects the latter error when checking for security capabilities in xattrs.

2010-04-19eCryptfs: Decrypt symlink target for stat sizeTyler Hicks
Create a getattr handler for eCryptfs symlinks that is capable of reading the lower target and decrypting its path. Prior to this patch, a stat's st_size field would represent the strlen of the encrypted path, while readlink() would return the strlen of the decrypted path. This could lead to confusion in some userspace applications, since the two values should be equal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524919 Reported-by: Loïc Minier <loic.minier@canonical.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2010-04-19rcu: Make RCU lockdep check the lockdep_recursion variablePaul E. McKenney
The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable. Such disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep might expect to recurse on itself. This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero. In addition, this patch removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

2010-04-16packet : remove init_net restrictionDaniel Lezcano
The af_packet protocol is used by Perl to do ioctls as reported by Stephane Riviere: "Net::RawIP relies on SIOCGIFADDR et SIOCGIFHWADDR to get the IP and MAC addresses of the network interface." But in a new network namespace these ioctl fail because it is disabled for a namespace different from the init_net_ns. These two lines should not be there as af_inet and af_packet are namespace aware since a long time now. I suppose we forget to remove these lines because we sent the af_packet first, before af_inet was supported.
