Rusty Russell ad6561dffa module: trim exception table on init free.
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules.  These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup.  The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).

Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.

This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code.  Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.

Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

Joerg Roedel 7caf6a49bb dma-debug: change hash_bucket_find from first-fit to best-fit
Some device drivers map the same physical address multiple times to a
dma address. Without an IOMMU this results in the same dma address being
put into the dma-debug hash multiple times. With a first-fit match in
hash_bucket_find() this function may return the wrong dma_debug_entry.

This can result in false positive warnings. This patch fixes it by
changing the first-fit behavior of hash_bucket_find() into a best-fit
algorithm.

DMA-mapping.txt says that debug_dma_sync_sg family must be called with

debug_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu and debug_dma_sync_sg_for_device can't

dma_debug_entry as debug_dma_unmap_sg() does.

Frederic Weisbecker 0c8b946e3e vsprintf: introduce %pf format specifier
A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure
function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of
months ago.

The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol,
but often we only want to print the name of the function, without
its asm offset.

That's what  %pf does in this patch.  The lowecase f has been chosen
for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'.

The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code
where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is
also true for other parts of the kernel:

$ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)"
arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c:   symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf);
arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:               name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr);
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c:        sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf);
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:       kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/kprobes.c:               sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL,
kernel/lockdep.c:       return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_output.c:    kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);

Changes in v2:

- Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf()

- Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only
  define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

Joerg Roedel 314eeac9e3 dma-debug: remove broken dma memory leak detection for 2.6.30
The feature needs some more work because the notfier which is used to
check for pending allocations is called before the device drivers
->remove() function. Therefore this feature reports false positives.

A real fix for this issue is to introduce a new notifier event which sent
_after_ the driver has deinitialized itself. That will done for the next
kernel version.

for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.

later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree.  pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.

Kay Sievers d094cbe998 driver core: allow non-root users to listen to uevents
Users can read sysfs files, there is no reason they should not be
allowed to listen to uevents.  This lets xorg and other userspace
programs properly get these messages without having to be root.

Hugh Dickins 05f54c13cd Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".
This reverts commit f520360d93.

Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected
CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up
the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno).

The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC
to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here,
and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns.
It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done.

An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code
to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH
pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a
much better optimization - though some distros are still saying
/sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd
or their root.

FUJITA Tomonori e6a1a89d57 dma-debug: add dma_debug_resize_entries() to adjust the number of dma_debug_entries
We use a static value for the number of dma_debug_entries. It can be
overwritten by a kernel command line option.

Some IOMMUs (e.g. GART) can't set an appropriate value by a kernel
command line option because they can't know such value until they
finish initializing up their hardware.

This patch adds dma_debug_resize_entries() enables IOMMUs to adjust
the number of dma_debug_entries anytime.

Frederic Weisbecker 9eeba6138c lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers

Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...

But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.

This patch adds this missing warning.

Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.

v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
    open coded xchg().

Becky Bruce 42d7c5e353 swiotlb: change swiotlb_bus_to[phys,virt] prototypes
Add a hwdev argument that is needed on some architectures
in order to access a per-device offset that is taken into
account when producing a physical address (also needed to
get from bus address to virtual address because the physical
address is an intermediate step).

Also make swiotlb_bus_to_virt weak so architectures can
override it.

Right now both swiotlb_sync_single_range and swiotlb_sync_sg
were duplicating the code in swiotlb_sync_single.  Just call it
instead.  Also rearrange the sync_single code for readability.

Note that the swiotlb_sync_sg code was previously doing
a complicated comparison to determine if an addresses needed
to be unmapped where a simple is_swiotlb_buffer() call
would have sufficed.

Impact: cleanup

swiotlb_map/unmap_single are now swiotlb_map/unmap_page;
trivially change all the comments to reference new names.

Also, there were some comments that should have been
referring to just plain old map_single, not swiotlb_map_single;
fix those as well.

Also change a use of the word "pointer", when what is
referred to is actually a dma/physical address.
