Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols.
But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols

sometime not proper.
# echo function_graph > current_tracer

It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()",
actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()".
(these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start"
is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms)
This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second
aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first.
Aliased symbols mostly come from linker script. The solution is
guessing "is this symbol defined in linker script", the symbols
defined in linker script will not become the first aliased symbol.
And if symbols are found to be equal in this "linker script provided"
criteria, symbols are sorted by the number of prefix underscores.

tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings
Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is

So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.
The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old

RDMA/nes: Don't allow userspace QPs to use STag zero
STag zero is a special STag that allows consumers to access any bus
address without registering memory. The nes driver unfortunately
allows STag zero to be used even with QPs created by unprivileged
userspace consumers, which means that any process with direct verbs
access to the nes device can read and write any memory accessible to
the underlying PCI device (usually any memory in the system). Such
access is usually given for cluster software such as MPI to use, so
this is a local privilege escalation bug on most systems running this
driver.
The driver was using STag zero to receive the last streaming mode
data; to allow STag zero to be disabled for unprivileged QPs, the
driver now registers a special MR for this data.

fs: new inode i_state corruption fix
There was a report of a data corruption
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to
reproduce the problem.
During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that
fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or
synchronisation problme.
i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In
my case it would look like this:
CPU0 CPU1
unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode()
reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC
reg -> inode->i_state
Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.
Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
either.
After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start
immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.
I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I
don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
real problem for me.

Each laptop driver with backlight support got a similar change around

It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML). It breaks after a few instructions. When

inconsistent result (from the outer UML).
This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow

Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000

The problem is the following:
PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).
This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes

This patch is intended to disable L0s ASPM link state for 82598 (ixgbe)
parts due to the fact that it is possible to corrupt TX data when coming
back out of L0s on some systems. The workaround had been added for 82575

api to prevent the ASPM subsystem from re-enabling the L0s state.
Instead of adding the fix in igb to the ixgbe driver as well it was
decided to move it into a pci quirk. It is necessary to move the fix out
of the driver and into a pci quirk in order to prevent the issue from
occuring prior to driver load to handle the possibility of the device being

Squashfs: Valid filesystems are flagged as bad by the corrupted fs patch
The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption. This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available. This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.
This patch does a number of things. It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption. It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

ring-buffer: only allocate buffers for online cpus
Impact: save on memory
Currently, a ring buffer was allocated for each "possible_cpus". On
some systems, this is the same as NR_CPUS. Thus, if a system defined
NR_CPUS = 64 but it only had 1 CPU, we could have possibly 63 useless
ring buffers taking up space. With a default buffer of 3 megs, this
could be quite drastic.
This patch changes the ring buffer code to only allocate ring buffers
for online CPUs. If a CPU goes off line, we do not free the buffer.
This is because the user may still have trace data in that buffer
that they would like to look at.
Perhaps in the future we could add code to delete a ring buffer if
the CPU is offline and the ring buffer becomes empty.

tracing: fix trace_wait to know to wait on all cpus or just one
Impact: fix to task live locking on reading trace_pipe on one CPU
The same code is used for both trace_pipe (all CPUS) and the per_cpu
trace_pipe file. When there is no data to read, it will check for
signals and wait on the trace wait queue.
The problem happens with the per_cpu wait. The trace_wait code checks
all CPUs. Thus, if there's data in another CPU buffer, then it will
exit the wait, without checking for signals or waiting on the wait queue.
It would then try to read the empty buffer, and since that will just
return nothing, then it will try to wait again. Unfortunately, that will
again fail due to there still being data in the other buffers. This
ends up with a live lock for the task.
This patch fixes the trace_wait to be aware that the iterator may only
be waiting on a single buffer.

tracing: keep ring buffer to minimum size till used
Impact: less memory impact on systems not using tracer
When the kernel boots up that has tracing configured, it allocates
the default size of the ring buffer. This currently happens to be
1.4Megs per possible CPU. This is quite a bit of wasted memory if
the system is never using the tracer.
The current solution is to keep the ring buffers to a minimum size
until the user uses them. Once a tracer is piped into the current_tracer
the ring buffer will be expanded to the default size. If the user
changes the size of the ring buffer, it will take the size given
by the user immediately.
If the user adds a "ftrace=" to the kernel command line, then the ring
buffers will be set to the default size on initialization.

MIPS: NEC VR5500 processor support fixup
Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.
Here're some VR5500A spec notes:
* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.
* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected. In other words,
if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
even when interrupts are internally asserted.
Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
insn is in the branch delay slot. The operation is also undefined
if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.
* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.
With these changes, it boots fine.
