Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 075affcbe0 ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2)
From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.

Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.

Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.  Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).

v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.

While at it:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

Andi Kleen 3c0797925f x86, mce: switch x86 machine check handler to Monarch election.
On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to
all CPUs.  This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all
these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect
the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first.

This has some advantages:

- When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as
  quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted
  data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage.

- The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code
  on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well).

- All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that
  another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless
  information (empty machine check) because the real error
  happened on another CPU which came in later.
  This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU
  lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping
  useless information on a machine check.  The problem also occurs
  in a less severe form on older CPUs.

- The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check
  and shut down the system.  This can happen when one CPU is so
  badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore
  or when some external agent wants to stop the system by
  asserting the machine check pin.  This follows Intel hardware
  recommendations.

- This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers.

- The events can be output in true severity order

- When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually
  be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts.

The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting
for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms
(jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature,
so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT"

The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one
second for the other CPUs.  This can be also disabled.

From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast
machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on
non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

Johannes Berg c64fb01627 rfkill: create useful userspace interface
The new code added by this patch will make rfkill create
a misc character device /dev/rfkill that userspace can use
to control rfkill soft blocks and get status of devices as
well as events when the status changes.

Using it is very simple -- when you open it you can read
a number of times to get the initial state, and every
further read blocks (you can poll) on getting the next
event from the kernel. The same structure you read is
also used when writing to it to change the soft block of
a given device, all devices of a given type, or all
devices.

This also makes CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT selectable again in
order to be able to test without it present since its
functionality can now be replaced by userspace entirely
and distros and users may not want the input part of
rfkill interfering with their userspace code. We will
also write a userspace daemon to handle all that and
consequently add the input code to the feature removal
schedule.

In order to have rfkilld support both kernels with and
without CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT (or new kernels after its
eventual removal) we also add an ioctl (that only exists
if rfkill-input is present) to disable rfkill-input.
It is not very efficient, but at least gives the correct
behaviour in all cases.

Johannes Berg 19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before

Hector Martin 3b315d70b0 ALSA: hda - Acer Aspire 8930G support
Short story: this laptop has 5.1 built-in speakers which you *really*
want to use (the not-so-"sub" woofer is what makes the audio above
average for a laptop), so 6-channel support is important (plus a decent
asound.conf to upmix stereo). It also has the 3 typical jacks that ought
to have a selectable mode. And it's based on ALC889, which sucks.

Rationale/explanations:

The const_channel_count stuff was added because, for a laptop like this,
you always have 6 channels available (internal speakers) but still need
to set the mode for the 3 external jacks. Therefore, the device always
needs to be in 6-channel mode but there still needs to be a mixer
control for the jack mode. You could use line/mic-in at the same time as
the 6 internal speakers, for example. You might be tempted to make it
even smarter by dynamically switching the max channel count when
headphones are plugged in (therefore muting the internal speakers and
reducing the physical channel count to the jack channel mode), but as a
user I consider this to be harmful because I want the audio to blow up
to 6 channels / upmixed as soon as I unplug the headphones, and having
opened the device while in 2-channel mode would prevent this from
working (and always making 6-channel mode available doesn't do any harm).

The hardware needs EAPD turned on and the DACs routed to the internal
speaker pins, so the patch adds those verbs.

The ALC889 CLFE and subsequent (side/aux, here unused) DACs do NOT work
by default, at least here. I wasted much time trying to talk to
Realtek/pshou about this, but they just kept sending me useless updates
to patch_realtek.c that did nothing relevant. In the end I gave up and
brute forced the issue by trying to flip every bit in the proprietary
coefficient registers, and eventually found the two magic registers that
need to be cleared to enable all DACs. I have only heard Acer users
complain, but that might be because ALC889 is pretty new and using 5.1
(and noticing the missing center/lfe channels) might not be that common.
If this is a generalized issue with all ALC889 systems then those verbs
should probably be moved to a common verb array.

The internal mic is untested and probably doesn't work.

These settings will probably work for other Acer Gemstone laptops with
the same 5.1 speaker config. When identified, those should be added to
the PCI subsystem ID list.

Steven Rostedt 2af15d6a44 ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions
on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called.

This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands.

  ftrace_notrace=function-list
  ftrace_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included
in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions
listed.

These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and
debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively.

The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also
be used by the command line interface.

	ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin*

Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has
the word spin in it.

Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering
set by the command lines.

GeunSik Lim 294ae40115 ftrace: fix typo about map of kernel priority in ftrace.txt file.
Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities.

   * About sched_setscheduler(2)
      Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR
      can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99.
      (reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/
                  man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html)

   * From: Steven Rostedt
      0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO)

      99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks
      but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any
      kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be
      set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow
      for it.

      100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via
      sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call.

      140 - reserved for idle tasks.

However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be

Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it

Martin K. Petersen c72758f337 block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions
To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.

  physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as the physical block
  size.  However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
  (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.

  The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
  of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
  Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
  so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

Eric Paris 5789ba3bd0 IMA: Minimal IMA policy and boot param for TCB IMA policy
The IMA TCB policy is dangerous.  A normal use can use all of a system's
memory (which cannot be freed) simply by building and running lots of
executables.  The TCB policy is also nearly useless because logging in as root
often causes a policy violation when dealing with utmp, thus rendering the
measurements meaningless.

There is no good fix for this in the kernel.  A full TCB policy would need to
be loaded in userspace using LSM rule matching to get both a protected and
useful system.  But, if too little is measured before userspace can load a real
policy one again ends up with a meaningless set of measurements.  One option
would be to put the policy load inside the initrd in order to get it early
enough in the boot sequence to be useful, but this runs into trouble with the
LSM.  For IMA to measure the LSM policy and the LSM policy loading mechanism
it needs rules to do so, but we already talked about problems with defaulting
to such broad rules....

IMA also depends on the files being measured to be on an FS which implements
and supports i_version.  Since the only FS with this support (ext4) doesn't
even use it by default it seems silly to have any IMA rules by default.

This should reduce the performance overhead of IMA to near 0 while still
letting users who choose to configure their machine as such to inclue the
ima_tcb kernel paramenter and get measurements during boot before they can
load a customized, reasonable policy in userspace.

Adds support for the "unused" page hint which can be used in shared
memory partitions to flag pages not in use, which will then be stolen
before active pages by the hypervisor when memory needs to be moved to
LPARs in need of additional memory.  Failure to mark pages as 'unused'
makes the LPAR slower to give up unused memory to other partitions.

This adds the kernel parameter 'cmo_free_hint' to disable this
functionality.

Yinghai Lu 888a589f6b mm, x86: remove MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE related code
after:

 | commit b263295dbf
 | Author: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
 | Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:30:47 2008 +0100
 |
 |    x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model

we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.

This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

(Changelog authored by Mel.)

v2: updated changelog, and remove hotadd= in doc

Jens Axboe cd17cbfda0 Revert "mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads"
This reverts commit fafd688e4c.

Work is progressing to switch away from pdflush as the process backing
for flushing out dirty data. So it seems pointless to add more knobs
to control pdflush threads. The original author of the patch did not
have any specific use cases for adding the knobs, so we can easily
revert this before 2.6.30 to avoid having to maintain this API
forever.

H. Peter Anvin 5031296c57 x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version
A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header.  Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version.  This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.

Add extension fields for both type and version.  The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.

Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

Andi Kleen 1dcdb5a9e7 oprofile: re-add force_arch_perfmon option
This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original
arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour
of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing
the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy
to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong)

But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would
need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again
on Atom or Core i7.

To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option.

Rik van Riel c898faf91b x86: 46 bit physical address support on 64 bits
Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to
2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc
and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the
direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory.

This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc
area and the virtual memory map space.  There's really no
good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.

Ilpo Järvinen 255cac91c3 tcp: extend ECN sysctl to allow server-side only ECN
This should be very safe compared with full enabled, so I see
no reason why it shouldn't be done right away. As ECN can only
be negotiated if the SYN sending party is also supporting it,
somebody in the loop probably knows what he/she is doing. If
SYN does not ask for ECN, the server side SYN-ACK is identical
to what it is without ECN. Thus it's quite safe.

The chosen value is safe w.r.t to existing configs which
choose to currently set manually either 0 or 1 but
silently upgrades those who have not explicitly requested
ECN off.

Whether to just enable both sides comes up time to time but
unless that gets done now we can at least make the servers
aware of ECN already. As there are some known problems to occur
if ECN is enabled, it's currently questionable whether there's
any real gain from enabling clients as servers mostly won't
support it anyway (so we'd hit just the negative sides). After
enabling the servers and getting that deployed, the client end
enable really has some potential gain too.

Fix that by making the "/* private:" only allow whitespace between /* and

Nick Piggin b827e496c8 mm: close page_mkwrite races
Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
lock until the page is marked dirty.  This allows the filesystem to have
full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.

Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.

The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite.  It currently then must
return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
to existing page_mkwrite convention).

In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty.  The
filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
longer dirty.

It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail.  The
filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.

And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.

This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
(page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
initiated in that window.  This provides the filesystem with a strong
synchronisation against the VM here.

- Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
- Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
- I need it for fsblock.
- I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
- I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
  under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
  at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
  be fixed properly without this patch).
- Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
  page_mkwrite functions themselves.

[ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
  eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
  filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]

Mark Brown 246d0a17f5 ASoC: Add power supply widget to DAPM
Many modern CODECs have shared resources on chip which must be enabled
for portions of the chip to work but which can be disabled at other times
in order to achieve power savings. Examples of such resources include
power supplies and some internal clocks.

Since these widgets are dependencies for the audio path but do not carry
audio signals they require slightly different handling to most widgets -
they do not contribute to the audio path and so should not be counted as
either inputs or outputs during path walks.

Cases where one supply provides a supply for another will require
additional work. There is also room for more optimisation of the graph
walking to avoid repeated checks for the same thing.
