uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)

2012-04-02T17:31:52Z

commit 7b60a18da393ed70db043a777fd9e6d5363077c4 upstream. The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are ordered. Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock, than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event. This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum. v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit Thanks for Kay for the comments.

vsprintf: make %pV handling compatible with kasprintf()

2012-03-06T16:22:26Z

kasprintf() (and potentially other functions that I didn't run across so far) want to evaluate argument lists twice. Caring to do so for the primary list is obviously their job, but they can't reasonably be expected to check the format string for instances of %pV, which however need special handling too: On architectures like x86-64 (as opposed to e.g. ix86), using the same argument list twice doesn't produce the expected results, as an internally managed cursor gets updated during the first run. Fix the problem by always acting on a copy of the original list when handling %pV. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

debugobjects: Fix selftest for static warnings

2012-03-05T23:49:43Z

debugobjects is now printing a warning when a fixup for a NOTAVAILABLE object is run. This causes the selftest to fail like: ODEBUG: selftest warnings failed 4 != 5 We could just increase the number of warnings that the selftest is expecting to see because that is actually what has changed. But, it turns out that fixup_activate() was written with inverted logic and thus a fixup for a static object returned 1 indicating the object had been fixed, and 0 otherwise. Fix the logic to be correct and update the counts to reflect that nothing needed fixing for a static object.

Reduce the number of expensive division instructions done by _parse_integer()

2012-02-09T18:09:30Z

_parse_integer() does one or two division instructions (which are slow) per digit parsed to perform the overflow check. Furthermore, these are particularly expensive examples of division instruction as the number of clock cycles required to complete them may go up with the position of the most significant set bit in the dividend: if (*res > div_u64(ULLONG_MAX - val, base)) which is as maximal as possible. Worse, on 32-bit arches, more than one of these division instructions may be required per digit. So, assuming we don't support a base of more than 16, skip the check if the top nibble of the result is not set at this point. Signed-off-by: David Howells [ Changed it to not dereference the pointer all the time - even if the compiler can and does optimize it away, the code just looks cleaner. And edited the top nybble test slightly to make the code generated on x86-64 better in the loop - test against a hoisted constant instead of shifting and testing the result ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

arch: fix ioport mapping on mips,sh Kevin Cernekee reported that recent cleanup that replaced pci_iomap with a generic function failed to take into account the differences in io port handling on mips and sh architectures. Rather than revert the changes reintroducing the code duplication, this patchset fixes this by adding ability for architectures to override ioport mapping for pci devices. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
