hexdump: more output formatting

Add a prefix string parameter.  Callers are responsible for any string
length/alignment that they want to see in the output.  I.e., callers should
pad strings to achieve alignment if they want that.

Add rowsize parameter.  This is the number of raw data bytes to be printed
per line.  Must be 16 or 32.

Add a groupsize parameter.  This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte,
2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers.  Default is 1-byte numbers.  If the
total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are
printed.

Add an "ascii" output parameter.  This causes ASCII data output following
the hex data output.

Clean up some doc examples.

Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call.

Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to
print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in
byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.

fix sysrq-m oops

We aren't sampling for holes in memory.  Thus we encounter a section hole
with empty section map pointer for SPARSEMEM and OOPs for show_mem.  This
issue has been seen in 2.6.21, current git and current mm.  The patch below
is for mainline and mm.  It was boot tested for SPARSEMEM, current VMEMMAP
of Andy's in mm ml and DISCONTIGMEM.  A slightly different patch will be
posted to stable for 2.6.21.

Previous to commit f0a5a58aa812b31fd9f197c4ba48245942364eae memory_present
was called for node_start_pfn to node_end_pfn.  This would cover the
hole(s) with reserved pages and valid sections.  Most SPARSEMEM supported
arches do a pfn_valid check in show_mem before computing the page structure
address.

17 years agopi-futex: fix exit races and locking problems
Alexey Kuznetsov [Fri, 8 Jun 2007 20:47:00 +0000 (13:47 -0700)] 
pi-futex: fix exit races and locking problems

1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed
   exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks.

2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious.

3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc.
   Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected
   and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem
   is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like
   each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-)

4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK,
   when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment
   in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension.
   I guess someone already saw this, the chunk:

                        if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex))
                                ret = 0;

   is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the
   rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous
   owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid.
   I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi()
   and making all the work in context of process taking lock.

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding
    an additional state transition to the exit code.

    This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults
    is not able to release the futexes.

Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH
    problem finally.

Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup
    in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access
    functions.

    This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state()

Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi()

Added some error checks for verification.

The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

sata_promise: use TF interface for polling NODATA commands

sata_promise uses two different command modes - packet and TF.  Packet mode
is intelligent low-overhead mode while TF is the same old taskfile
interface.  As with other advanced interface (ahci/sil24),
ATA_TFLAG_POLLING has no effect in packet mode.  However, PIO commands are
issued using TF interface in polling mode, so pdc_interrupt() considers
interrupts spurious if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.

This is broken for polling NODATA commands because command is issued using
packet mode but the interrupt handler ignores it due to ATA_TFLAG_POLLING.
Fix pdc_qc_issue_prot() such that ATA/ATAPI NODATA commands are issued
using TF interface if ATA_TFLAG_POLLING is set.

Reading the MAC address from atm_dev before atm_dev exists would have been

Calling create_device_file in atm_start will avoid this problem, and the

ready before a status poll does a printk on line status change otherwise

For completeness I've moved remove_device_file to atm_stop so it's not

splice: __generic_file_splice_read: fix read/truncate race

Original patch and description from Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>,
merged and adapted to splice branch by me. Neils text follows:

__generic_file_splice_read() currently samples the i_size at the start
and doesn't do so again unless it needs to call ->readpage to load
a page.  After ->readpage it has to re-sample i_size as a truncate
may have caused that page to be filled with zeros, and the read()
call should not see these.

However there are other activities that might cause ->readpage to be
called on a page between the time that __generic_file_splice_read()
samples i_size and when it finds that it has an uptodate page. These
include at least read-ahead and possibly another thread performing a
read

So we must sample i_size *after* it has an uptodate page.  Thus the
current sampling at the start and after a read can be replaced with a
sampling before page addition into spd.

Just like Simba bridges, some PCI bridges can lack the
'ranges' OBP property.  So we handle this similarly to
the existing Simba code:

1) In of_device register address resolving, we push the
   translation to the parent.

2) In PCI device scanning, we interrogate the PCI config
   space registers of the PCI bus device in order to resolve
   the resources, just like the generic Linux PCI probing

[IPV4]: Restore old behaviour of default config values

Previously inet devices were only constructed when addresses are added
(or rarely in ipmr).  Therefore the default config values they get are
the ones at the time of these operations.

Now that we're creating inet devices earlier, this changes the
behaviour of default config values in an incompatible way (see bug
#8519).

This patch creates a compromise by setting the default values at the
same point as before but only for those that have not been explicitly
set by the user since the inet device's creation.

[IPV4]: Add default config support after inetdev_init

Previously once inetdev_init has been called on a device any changes
made to ipv4_devconf_dflt would have no effect on that device's
configuration.

This creates a problem since we have moved the point where
inetdev_init is called from when an address is added to where the
device is registered.

This patch is the first half of a set that tries to mimic the old
behaviour while still calling inetdev_init.

It propagates any changes to ipv4_devconf_dflt to those devices that
have not had the corresponding attribute set.

The next patch will forcibly set all values at the point where
inetdev_init was previously called.

[BNX2]: Fix occasional counter corruption on 5708.

The statistics block DMA on 5708 can be messed up occasionally on the
average of about once per hour.  If the user is reading the counters
within one second after the corruption, the counters will be all
messed up.  One second later, the counters will be ok again until the
next corruption occurs.

The workaround is to disable the periodic statistics DMA.  Instead,
we manually trigger the DMA once a second in bnx2_timer().  This
manual trigger of the DMA avoids the problem.

As a consequence, we can only allow 0 or 1 second settings for
ethtool -C statistics block.
