* selinux: avoid unnecessary avc cache stat hit countLinus Torvalds2011-05-193-9/+11
| | | | | | | | | | There is no point in counting hits - we can calculate it from the number of lookups and misses. This makes the avc statistics a bit smaller, and makes the code generation better too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* selinux: de-crapify avc cache stat code generationLinus Torvalds2011-05-191-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | You can turn off the avc cache stats, but distributions seem to not do that (perhaps because several performance tuning how-to's talk about the avc cache statistics). Which is sad, because the code it generates is truly horrendous, with the statistics update being sandwitched between get_cpu/put_cpu which in turn causes preemption disables etc. We're talking ten+ instructions just to increment a per-cpu variable in some pretty hot code. Fix the craziness by just using 'this_cpu_inc()' instead. Suddenly we only need a single 'inc' instruction to increment the statistics. This is quite noticeable in the incredibly hot avc_has_perm_noaudit() function (which triggers all the statistics by virtue of doing an avc_lookup() call).

| * sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messagesGreg Kroah-Hartman2011-05-137-22/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would print out the last sysfs file accessed. This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback. So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PAGES_PER_SECTION On ppc64 the minimum memory section for hotplug is 16MB but most recent machines have a memory block size of 256MB. This means memory_block_change_state does 16 separate calls to memory_section_action. This also means we call the notifiers 16 times and the hook in the ehea network driver is quite costly. To offline one 256MB region takes: # time echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state 7.9s This patch removes the loop and calls online_pages or remove_memory once for the entire region and in doing so makes the logic simpler since we don't have to back out if things fail part way through. The same test to offline one region now takes: # time echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory32/state 0.67s Over 11 times faster.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver. Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines as to what the firmware is doing. The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in the file /sys/firmware/log.

Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information. Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used. This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various limitations over time, but all are included herein. This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in gsmi_system_valid().

| * drivers:misc:ti-st: handle delayed tty receivePavan Savoy2011-04-222-11/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered. This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered. This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which bluetooth would have unregistered from the system. OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt data coming in after the driver is unregistered.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A kernel booted with no_file_caps allows to install fscaps on a binary but doesn't actually honor the fscaps when running the binary. Userspace currently has no sane way to determine whether installing fscaps actually has any effect. Since parsing /proc/cmdline is fragile this patch exposes the current setting (1 or 0) via /sys/kernel/fscaps Signed-off-by: Ludwig Nussel <ludwig.nussel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Exposed by commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators"), which removed the include of <linux/prefetch.h> from <linux/list.h>. Without that, linux/signal.h no longer accidentally got the declaration of 'struct task_struct'. Fix by properly declaring the struct, rather than introducing any new header file dependency.

This reversion was due to (extreme) boot-time slowdowns on SPARC seen by Yinghai Lu and on x86 by Ingo . This is a non-trivial reversion due to intervening commits.
