Merge branch 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2012-10-12T01:28:52+00:00

Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek:
 "kconfig in v3.7 is going to
   - initialize ncurses only once in menuconfig
   - be able to jump to a search result in menuconfig
   - change the misnomer oldnoconfig to a more meaningful name
     olddefconfig, keeping the old name as alias"

* 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
  kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias
  menuconfig: Assign jump keys per-page instead of globally
  menuconfig: Do not open code textbox scroll up/down
  menuconfig: Add jump keys to search results
  menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can return to a scrolled position
  menuconfig: Extend dialog_textbox so that it can exit on arbitrary keypresses
  menuconfig: Remove superfluous conditionnal
  kconfig: document oldnoconfig to what it really does in conf.c
  kconfig/mconf.c: revision of curses initialization.

epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app

2012-10-05T18:05:00+00:00

Enhanced epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables an epoll
item.  If epoll_ctl doesn't return -EBUSY in this case, it is then safe to
delete the epoll item in a multi-threaded environment.  Also added a new
test_epoll self- test app to both demonstrate the need for this feature
and test it.

kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias

2012-09-27T16:18:07+00:00

As 67d34a6a391369269a2e5dba8a5f42cc4cd50231 said, 'oldnoconfig' doesn't
set new symbols to 'n', but instead sets it to their default values.

So, this patch replaces 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', stop making
people confused, and keep the old name 'oldnoconfig' as an alias,
because people already are dependent on its behavior with the
counter-intuitive name.

ktest: Fix ELSE IF statements

2012-09-26T18:48:17+00:00

The ELSE IF statements do not work as expected if another ELSE statement
follows. This is because the $if_set is not set. If the ELSE IF
condition is true, the following ELSE should be ignored. But because the
$if_set is not set, the following ELSE will also be executed.

fault-injection: fix failcmd.sh warning

2012-08-01T01:42:38+00:00

"fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or
fail_page_alloc" added tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to make it
easier to inject slab/page allocation failures by fault injection.

failcmd.sh prints the following warning when running with arguments
for command.

	# ./failcmd.sh echo aaa
	failcmd.sh: line 209: [: echo: binary operator expected
	aaa

This warning is caused by an improper check whether at least one
parameter is left after parsing command options.

Fix it by testing the length of $1 instead of $@

Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

2012-07-31T00:25:34+00:00

Merge Andrew's first set of patches:
 "Non-MM patches:

   - lots of misc bits

   - tree-wide have_clk() cleanups

   - quite a lot of printk tweaks.  I draw your attention to "printk:
     convert the format for KERN_ to a 2 byte pattern" which
     looks a bit scary.  But afaict it's solid.

   - backlight updates

   - lib/ feature work (notably the addition and use of memweight())

   - checkpatch updates

   - rtc updates

   - nilfs updates

   - fatfs updates (partial, still waiting for acks)

   - kdump, proc, fork, IPC, sysctl, taskstats, pps, etc

   - new fault-injection feature work"

fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_alloc

2012-07-31T00:25:22+00:00

This adds tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to run a command while
injecting slab/page allocation failures via fault injection.

Example:

Run a command "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests" with
injecting slab allocation failure.

	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

Same as above except to specify 100 times failures at most instead of
one time at most by default.

	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

Same as above except to inject page allocation failure instead of slab
allocation failure.

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests
