Eric B Munson bb6405eab2 Documentation: update cgroup pid and cpuset information
The cgroup documentation does not specify how a process can be removed
from a particular group.  This patch adds a note at the end of the
simple example about how this is done.  Also, some cgroups (like
cpusets) require user input before a new group can be used.  This is
noted in the patch as well.

Rafael J. Wysocki 9659cc0678 PM: Make system-wide PM and runtime PM treat subsystems consistently
The code handling system-wide power transitions (eg. suspend-to-RAM)
can in theory execute callbacks provided by the device's bus type,
device type and class in each phase of the power transition.  In
turn, the runtime PM core code only calls one of those callbacks at
a time, preferring bus type callbacks to device type or class
callbacks and device type callbacks to class callbacks.

It seems reasonable to make them both behave in the same way in that
respect.  Moreover, even though a device may belong to two subsystems
(eg. bus type and device class) simultaneously, in practice power
management callbacks for system-wide power transitions are always
provided by only one of them (ie. if the bus type callbacks are
defined, the device class ones are not and vice versa).  Thus it is
possible to modify the code handling system-wide power transitions
so that it follows the core runtime PM code (ie. treats the
subsystem callbacks as mutually exclusive).

On the other hand, the core runtime PM code will choose to execute,
for example, a runtime suspend callback provided by the device type
even if the bus type's struct dev_pm_ops object exists, but the
runtime_suspend pointer in it happens to be NULL.  This is confusing,
because it may lead to the execution of callbacks from different
subsystems during different operations (eg. the bus type suspend
callback may be executed during runtime suspend of the device, while
the device type callback will be executed during system suspend).

Make all of the power management code treat subsystem callbacks in
a consistent way, such that:
(1) If the device's type is defined (eg. dev->type is not NULL)
    and its pm pointer is not NULL, the callbacks from dev->type->pm
    will be used.
(2) If dev->type is NULL or dev->type->pm is NULL, but the device's
    class is defined (eg. dev->class is not NULL) and its pm pointer
    is not NULL, the callbacks from dev->class->pm will be used.
(3) If dev->type is NULL or dev->type->pm is NULL and dev->class is
    NULL or dev->class->pm is NULL, the callbacks from dev->bus->pm
    will be used provided that both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are
    not NULL.

Rafael J. Wysocki 7538e3db6e PM: Add support for device power domains
The platform bus type is often used to handle Systems-on-a-Chip (SoC)
where all devices are represented by objects of type struct
platform_device.  In those cases the same "platform" device driver
may be used with multiple different system configurations, but the
actions needed to put the devices it handles into a low-power state
and back into the full-power state may depend on the design of the
given SoC.  The driver, however, cannot possibly include all the
information necessary for the power management of its device on all
the systems it is used with.  Moreover, the device hierarchy in its
current form also is not suitable for representing this kind of
information.

The patch below attempts to address this problem by introducing
objects of type struct dev_power_domain that can be used for
representing power domains within a SoC.  Every struct
dev_power_domain object provides a sets of device power
management callbacks that can be used to perform what's needed for
device power management in addition to the operations carried out by
the device's driver and subsystem.

Namely, if a struct dev_power_domain object is pointed to by the
pwr_domain field in a struct device, the callbacks provided by its
ops member will be executed in addition to the corresponding
callbacks provided by the device's subsystem and driver during all
power transitions.

Rafael J. Wysocki cb8f51bdad PM: Do not create wakeup sysfs files for devices that cannot wake up
Currently, wakeup sysfs attributes are created for all devices,
regardless of whether or not they are wakeup-capable.  This is
excessive and complicates wakeup device identification from user
space (i.e. to identify wakeup-capable devices user space has to read
/sys/devices/.../power/wakeup for all devices and see if they are not
empty).

Fix this issue by avoiding to create wakeup sysfs files for devices
that cannot wake up the system from sleep states (i.e. whose
power.can_wakeup flags are unset during registration) and modify
device_set_wakeup_capable() so that it adds (or removes) the relevant
sysfs attributes if a device's wakeup capability status is changed.

Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should
be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events
when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest
events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just
after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

much the same as negating a key, and so keyctl_negate_key() is made a special

David Howells 1362fa078d DNS: Fix a NULL pointer deref when trying to read an error key [CVE-2011-1076]
When a DNS resolver key is instantiated with an error indication, attempts to
read that key will result in an oops because user_read() is expecting there to
be a payload - and there isn't one [CVE-2011-1076].

Give the DNS resolver key its own read handler that returns the error cached in
key->type_data.x[0] as an error rather than crashing.

Also make the kenter() at the beginning of dns_resolver_instantiate() limit the
amount of data it prints, since the data is not necessarily NUL-terminated.

The buggy code was added in:

	commit 4a2d789267
	Author: Wang Lei <wang840925@gmail.com>
	Date:   Wed Aug 11 09:37:58 2010 +0100
	Subject: DNS: If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached [ver #2]

This can trivially be reproduced by any user with the following program
compiled with -lkeyutils:

	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>
	#include <err.h>
	static char payload[] = "#dnserror=6";
	int main()
	{
		key_serial_t key;
		key = add_key("dns_resolver", "a", payload, sizeof(payload),
			      KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING);
		if (key == -1)
			err(1, "add_key");
		if (keyctl_read(key, NULL, 0) == -1)
			err(1, "read_key");
		return 0;
	}

What should happen is that keyctl_read() reports error 6 (ENXIO) to the user:

	dns-break: read_key: No such device or address

but instead the kernel oopses.

This cannot be reproduced with the 'keyutils add' or 'keyutils padd' commands
as both of those cut the data down below the NUL termination that must be
included in the data.  Without this dns_resolver_instantiate() will return
-EINVAL and the key will not be instantiated such that it can be read.

The oops looks like:

Thomas Gleixner 8d32a307e4 genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading
Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
"threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
impact in the interrupt hotpath.

Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.

Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
handling into thread context.

When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

Some test results on a Core2Duo machine:

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 3bcbaf6e08 rtc: cmos: Add OF bindings
This allows to load the OF driver based informations from the device
tree. Systems without BIOS may need to perform some initialization.
PowerPC creates a PNP device from the OF information and performs this
kind of initialization in their private PCI quirk. This looks more
generic.

This patch also avoids registering the platform RTC driver on X86 if
we have a device tree blob. Otherwise we would setup the device based
on the hardcoded information in arch/x86 rather than the device tree
based one.

        Grant ]

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior df2634f43f x86: dtb: Add a device tree for CE4100
History:
v1..v2:
- dropped device_type except for cpu & pci. I have the compatible string
  for pci so I can drop the device_type once it is possible
- I lowercased all compatible types. I will need to resend some patches
  which have upper case intel
- The cpu had the same compatible string as the soc node. So I added to
  the soc node -immr for internel memory mapped registers.
- I added generic names for all parts.
- I reworked the i2c bars matching the way you suggested. I added a
  compatible node for the PCI device which only the PCI ids in its
  compatible string. The bars (each represents a complete i2c
  controller) have a "intel,ce4100-i2c-controller" compatible node. It
  is not used by the driver.
  The driver is probed via PCI ids (by the pci subsystem not OF) and
  matches the bar address against the ressource in the child node. Once
  there is a hit the node is attached.
- The SPI driver is also probed via pci. However I also attached a
  compatible property based on PCI ids

v2..v3:
- intel,ce4100-immr become intel,ce4100-cp. cp stands for core
  peripherals. The Atom data sheet talks here about ACPI devices. Since
  we don't have ACPI this does not apply here.
- The interrupt map is gone. There are now plenty of device nodes.
- The "unit address string" got fixed, it uses not DD,V format.

v3..v4:
- added descriptions for compatible nodes introduced here:
  - intel,ce4100-ioapic
  - intel,ce4100-lapic
  - intel,ce4100-hpet
  - intel,ce4100
  - intel,ce4100-cp
  - intel,ce4100-pci
- added a description about I2C controller magic.
- Added gpio-controller and gpio-cells property to gpio devices. Those
  properties are not (yet) used.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior da6b737b9a x86: Add device tree support
This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
least boot protocol 2.09.

Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
code compile.

The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
otherwise. This includes things like 
   - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
   - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
   - where could my hpet be?

Clemens Ladisch 2c6315da6a hwmon: (jc42) do not allow writing to locked registers
On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is
likely to have locked the alarm registers.  In that case, all writes
through the corresponding sysfs files would be silently ignored.

To prevent this, detect the locks and make the affected sysfs files
read-only.
