* alpha: irq: remove deprecated use of IRQF_DISABLEDWill Deacon2013-04-072-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Interrupt handlers are always invoked with interrupts disabled, so remove all uses of the deprecated IRQF_DISABLED flag.

* alpha: irq: run all handlers with interrupts disabledWill Deacon2013-04-072-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux has expected that interrupt handlers are executed with local interrupts disabled for a while now, so ensure that this is the case on Alpha even for non-device interrupts such as IPIs. Without this patch, secondary boot results in the following backtrace: warning: at kernel/softirq.c:139 __local_bh_enable+0xb8/0xd0() trace: __local_bh_enable+0xb8/0xd0 irq_enter+0x74/0xa0 scheduler_ipi+0x50/0x100 handle_ipi+0x84/0x260 do_entint+0x1ac/0x2e0 irq_exit+0x60/0xa0 handle_irq+0x98/0x100 do_entint+0x2c8/0x2e0 ret_from_sys_call+0x0/0x10 load_balance+0x3e4/0x870 cpu_idle+0x24/0x80 rcu_eqs_enter_common.isra.38+0x0/0x120 cpu_idle+0x40/0x80 rest_init+0xc0/0xe0 _stext+0x1c/0x20 A similar dump occurs if you try to reboot using magic-sysrq.

| * | TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of driversJiri Slaby2012-11-151-1/+4
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this assumption. To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places. This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed. This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case we have both NEED_RESCHED and SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME, handle the latter first. We'll get to original priorities in the next commit, but now that allows to simplify the treatment of NEED_RESCHED-only case nicely. Namely, now there no need to preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in $work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we want no restarts anymore). So we can just slap 0 into $19 instead of preserving it (and $20). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* | vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton2012-10-121-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

As it is, we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of struct file we used to have way back). A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives, disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file leak. - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have). - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and switch of fdinfo to seq_file. - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate pile, this was just a mechanical code movement. - a few misc patches all over the place.
