      treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help' · a7f7f624
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      
      Since commit 84af7a61 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
      '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
      decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
      
      This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
      I also fixed the indentation.
      
      There are a variety of indentation styles found.
      
        a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
        b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
        c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
        d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
        e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
        f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
        g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
      
      In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
      following commend:
      
        $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

      connector: fix unsafe usage of ->real_parent · 6d2b0f02
      Li RongQing authored
      
      proc_exit_connector() uses ->real_parent lockless. This is not
      safe that its parent can go away at any moment, so use RCU to
      protect it, and ensure that this task is not released.

      connector: add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit events · b086ff87
      Stefan Strogin authored
      
      The intention is to get notified of process failures as soon
      as possible, before a possible core dumping (which could be very long)
      (e.g. in some process-manager). Coredump and exit process events
      are perfect for such use cases (see 2b5faa4c "connector: Added
      coredumping event to the process connector").
      
      The problem is that for now the process-manager cannot know the parent
      of a dying process using connectors. This could be useful if the
      process-manager should monitor for failures only children of certain
      parents, so we could filter the coredump and exit events by parent
      process and/or thread ID.
      
      Add parent pid and tgid to coredump and exit process connectors event
      data.

      connector: make cn_proc explicitly non-modular · 8297f2d9
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      
      The Kconfig controlling build of this code is currently:
      
      drivers/connector/Kconfig:config PROC_EVENTS
      drivers/connector/Kconfig:      bool "Report process events to userspace"
      
      ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
      Lets remove the two modular references, so that when reading the driver
      there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
      
      Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
      case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

      connector: fix out-of-order cn_proc netlink message delivery · ab8ed951
      Aaron Campbell authored
      
      The proc connector messages include a sequence number, allowing userspace
      programs to detect lost messages.  However, performing this detection is
      currently more difficult than necessary, since netlink messages can be
      delivered to the application out-of-order.  To fix this, leave pre-emption
      disabled during cn_netlink_send(), and use GFP_NOWAIT.
      
      The following was written as a test case.  Building the kernel w/ make -j32
      proved a reliable way to generate out-of-order cn_proc messages.
      
      int
      main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
      	static uint32_t last_seq[CPU_SETSIZE], seq;
      	int cpu, fd;

      		struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr;
      		struct __attribute__((__packed__)) {
      			struct cn_msg cn_msg;
      			struct proc_event cn_proc;
      		};
      	} rmsg;
      	struct __attribute__((aligned(NLMSG_ALIGNTO))) {
      		struct nlmsghdr nl_hdr;
      		struct __attribute__((__packed__)) {
      			struct cn_msg cn_msg;
      			enum proc_cn_mcast_op cn_mcast;
      		};
      	} smsg;
      
      	fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
      	if (fd < 0) {
      		perror("socket");
      	}
      
      	sa.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
      	sa.nl_groups = CN_IDX_PROC;
      	sa.nl_pid = getpid();
      	if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa)) < 0) {
      		perror("bind");
      	}
      
      	memset(&smsg, 0, sizeof(smsg));
      	smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_len = sizeof(smsg);
      	smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_pid = getpid();
      	smsg.nl_hdr.nlmsg_type = NLMSG_DONE;
      	smsg.cn_msg.id.idx = CN_IDX_PROC;
      	smsg.cn_msg.id.val = CN_VAL_PROC;
      	smsg.cn_msg.len = sizeof(enum proc_cn_mcast_op);
      	smsg.cn_mcast = PROC_CN_MCAST_LISTEN;
      	if (send(fd, &smsg, sizeof(smsg), 0) != sizeof(smsg)) {
      		perror("send");
      	}
      
      	while (recv(fd, &rmsg, sizeof(rmsg), 0) == sizeof(rmsg)) {
      		cpu = rmsg.cn_proc.cpu;
      		if (cpu < 0) {
      			continue;
      		}
      		seq = rmsg.cn_msg.seq;
      		if ((last_seq[cpu] != 0) && (seq != last_seq[cpu] + 1)) {
      			printf("out-of-order seq=%d on cpu=%d\n", seq, cpu);
      		}
      		last_seq[cpu] = seq;
      	}
      
      	/* NOTREACHED */
      
      	perror("recv");
      
      	return -1;

      __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold

      to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
      lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
      
      Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
      were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
      an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
      reserves.
      
      This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
      cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
      __GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
      are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
      callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
      redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
      kswapd for background reclaim.
      
      This patch then converts a number of sites
      
      o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
        pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
      
      o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
        __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
        into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
        are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
      
      o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
        helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
        checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
        positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
        is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
        flag manipulations.
      
      o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
        and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
      
      The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
      and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
      In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
      
      The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
      GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
      now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
      if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

      connector: improved unaligned access error fix · 1ca1a4cf
      Chris Metcalf authored
      
      In af3e095a, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access
      bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned().
      Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series
      of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again
      on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted
      to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic.
      
      A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event
      is aligned to 8 bytes here.  We can do that relatively easily by
      arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then
      offset by 4 bytes.  Doing so means that the immediately following
      proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes.
      
      The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an
      added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code.

      Drivers: misc: remove __dev* attributes. · 0fe763c5
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
      markings need to be removed.
      
      This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
      __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
      
      Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
      in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

      netlink: add netlink_kernel_cfg parameter to netlink_kernel_create · a31f2d17
      Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
      
      This patch adds the following structure:
      
      struct netlink_kernel_cfg {
              unsigned int    groups;
              void            (*input)(struct sk_buff *skb);
              struct mutex    *cb_mutex;
      };
      
      That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
      for netlink kernel sockets.
      
      I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
      existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
      left in the original interface.
      
      That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
      easy extensibility of this interface in the future.
      
      This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

      connector: add comm change event report to proc connector · f786ecba
      Vladimir Zapolskiy authored
      
      Add an event to monitor comm value changes of tasks.  Such an event
      becomes vital, if someone desires to control threads of a process in
      different manner.
      
      A natural characteristic of threads is its comm value, and helpfully
      application developers have an opportunity to change it in runtime.
      Reporting about such events via proc connector allows to fine-grain
      monitoring and control potentials, for instance a process control daemon
      listening to proc connector and following comm value policies can place
      specific threads to assigned cgroup partitions.
      
      It might be possible to achieve a pale partial one-shot likeness without
      this update, if an application changes comm value of a thread generator
      task beforehand, then a new thread is cloned, and after that proc
      connector listener gets the fork event and reads new thread's comm value
      from procfs stat file, but this change visibly simplifies and extends the
      matter.
