8250: Fix tcsetattr to avoid ioctl(TIOCMIWAIT) hang
Calling tcsetattr prevents any thread(s) currently suspended in ioctl
TIOCMIWAIT for the same device from ever resuming.
If a thread is suspended inside a call to ioctl TIOCMIWAIT, waiting for
a modem status change, then the 8250 driver enables modem status
interrupts (MSI). The device interrupt service routine resumes the
suspended thread(s) on the next MSI.
If while the thread(s) are suspended, another thread calls tcsetattr
then the 8250 driver disables MSI (unless CTS/RTS handshaking is
enabled) thus preventing the suspended thread(s) from ever being
resumed.
This patch only disables MSI in tcsetattr handling if there are no
suspended threads.

perf_events: Fix time tracking in samples
This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch
both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for
PERF_SAMPLE_READ.
One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters
in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know
both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly.
In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow
copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without
calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the
issue that update_context_time() must always be called with
ctx->lock held.
We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings
because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active
and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in
which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified.
This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ
is used.
Note that this patch does not address timing issues related
to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed
in a future patch.

just mean this buffer covers a hole, and whenever we do a set_page_dirty
we mark all blocks in the page dirty, no matter if they have data or
not. So remove the assert, and update the comment above the condition
to match reality.

perf trace: live-mode command-line cleanup
This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.
The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.
With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al
The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al
and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid
Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.
For example:
$ perf trace syscall-counts ls
Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.
If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:
$ perf trace record syscall-counts
$ perf trace report syscall-counts ls
So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:
- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step
- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
used - all extra args are send to the report script as params
- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
script, and the rest are sent to the record step

better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

With 2.6.37-rc1, I observe sys_ioprio_set not taking the RCU lock [1]
across access to the task credentials.
Inspecting the code in fs/ioprio.c, the tasklist_lock is held for read
across the __task_cred call, which is presumably sufficient to prevent
the task credentials becoming stale.

block: ioctl: fix information leak to userland
Structure hd_geometry is copied to userland with 4 padding bytes
between cylinders and start fields uninitialized on 64-bit platforms.
It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.
Currently there is no memset() in real implementations of getgeo()
in drivers/block/, so it makes sense to have memset() in blkdev_ioctl().

block: read i_size with i_size_read()
Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read().
i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing
incomple writes. Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion
to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}. But
i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.

x86, UV: Update node controller MMRs
A new version of the SGI UV hub node controller is being
developed. A few of the MMRs (control registers) that exist on
the current hub no longer exist on the new hub. Fortunately,
there are alternate MMRs that are are functionally equivalent
and that exist on both hubs.
This patch changes the UV code to use MMRs that exist in BOTH
versions of the hub node controller.

profile_cpu was left over from an earlier implementation that

Instead, convert the code to use cpu_list, which is set by the

Also improved the printing of nr_cpus and cpu_list by correcting

The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void

TTY: restore tty_ldisc_wait_idle
It was removed in 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into
a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the
ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc.
Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes
waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear
and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called,
it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of
reading and goes nuts after it is woken.
Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops
by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed
that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and
allow the close then.
We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open
the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for
everybody to leave.
I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the
counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless
tty_ldisc_wait_idle.
On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to
reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup
path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.
