Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
sysctl.
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.
If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select
USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they
don't provide their own implementions.
Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in
kernel/softirq.c.
For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g. blackfin, only

Michal reports:
In the framebuffer subsystem the abs() macro is often used as a part of
the calculation of a Manhattan metric, which in turn is used as a measure
of similarity between video modes. The arguments of abs() are sometimes
unsigned numbers. This worked fine until commit a49c59c0 ("Make sure the
value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32:) , which
changed the definition of abs() to prevent truncation. As a result of
this change, in the following piece of code:
u32 a = 0, b = 1;
u32 c = abs(a - b);
'c' will end up with a value of 0xffffffff instead of the expected 0x1.
A problem caused by this change and visible by the end user is that
framebuffer drivers relying on functions from modedb.c will fail to find
high resolution video modes similar to that explicitly requested by the
user if an exact match cannot be found (see e.g.
Fix this by special-casing `long' types within abs().
This patch reduces x86_64 code size a bit - drivers/video/uvesafb.o shrunk
by 15 bytes, presumably because it is doing abs() on 4-byte quantities,
and expanding those to 8-byte longs adds code.
testcase:
#define oldabs(x) ({ \
long __x = (x); \
(__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \
})
#define newabs(x) ({ \
long ret; \
if (sizeof(x) == sizeof(long)) { \
long __x = (x); \
ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \
} else { \
int __x = (x); \
ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \
} \
ret; \
})
typedef unsigned int u32;
main()
{
u32 a = 0;
u32 b = 1;
u32 oldc = oldabs(a - b);
u32 newc = newabs(a - b);

This series aims to develop logging facility for enterprise use.
It is important to save kernel messages reliably on enterprise system
because they are helpful for diagnosing system.
This series add kmsg_dump() to the paths loosing kernel messages. The use
case is the following.
[Use case of reboot/poweroff/halt/emergency_restart]
My company has often experienced the followings in our support service.
- Customer's system suddenly reboots.
- Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot.
We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in
/var/log/messages. However, we can't investigate the reason why the
system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain. And off course
we can't explain the reason.
We can solve above problem with this patch as follows.
Case1: reboot with command
- We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.".
Case2: halt with command
- We can see "System halted.".
Case3: poweroff with command
- We can see " Power down.".
Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq.
- We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq().
Case5: emergency_restart with softdog.
- We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire().
So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart.
If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should
know the fact. However, they often claim they don't execute the command
when they rebooted system by mistake.
No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof
to the customer. This patch improves this situation.

KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, KMSG_DUMP_OOPS and KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC because they would

The effect of the bug was that the sequence:
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
Did not produced a complete reboot of the LCD which was showing fuzzy
colours.
This was not experienced before implementing correctly all the LCD power
states with the patch [1]. Since before the patch [1] the regulators were
not touched and the LCD shutdown was reached with a register write. After
the patch [1] a complete boot sequence with an initial reset is needed for
the display every time the LCD is powered up.

Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for
inverting the trigger output polarity.
With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for
driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad
Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was
not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was
turned off, without touching it.
The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO
trigger driver.

Currently the led device name is fetched from the device_type in
I2C_BOARD_INFO which comes from the platform data. This name is in turn
used to create an entry in sysfs.
If there exists two or more lp5521 on a particular platform, the
device_type in I2C_BOARD_INFO has to be the same, else lp5521 driver probe
wont be called and if used so, results in run time warning "cannot create
sysfs with same name" and hence a failure.
The name that is used to create sysfs entry is to be passed by the struct
led_platform_data. Hence adding an element of type const char * and
change in lp5521 driver to use this name in creating the led device if
present else use the name obtained by I2C_BOARD_INFO.
