[XTENSA]: Fix use of skb after netif_rx

2007-12-11T10:45:28+00:00

Recently, Wang Chen submitted a patch
(d30f53aeb31d453a5230f526bea592af07944564) to move a call to netif_rx(skb)
after a subsequent reference to skb, because netif_rx may call kfree_skb on
its argument.  The same problem occurs in some other drivers as well.

This was found using the following semantic match.
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

//

expression skb, e,e1;
@@

(
 netif_rx(skb);
|
 netif_rx_ni(skb);
)
  ... when != skb = e
(
  skb = e1

* skb
)

kbuild: restore arch/{ppc/xtensa}/boot cflags

2007-10-20T18:35:23+00:00

Commit 9a39e273d4df0560c724c5fe71f6314a0583ca2b removed the boot directory
addition to CFLAGS that was being used by the subdirectory builds.  For the
other files, that patch set EXTRA_CFLAGS, but Makefile.build explicitly
sets that to empty as it is explicitly for a single directory only.
Append to KBUILD_CFLAGS instead.

Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation

2007-10-19T18:53:54+00:00

Quoting Randy:

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)

2007-10-19T18:53:43+00:00

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log.
There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes
so for arch/xxx files.

It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the
printks in arch code.

pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()

2007-10-19T18:53:37+00:00

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group

2007-10-16T16:42:52+00:00

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.

Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.

This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.
