2010-11-12led-class: always implement blinkingJohannes Berg
Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then needs to implement its own timer solution. Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use. This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink. As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's always easy to use.

2010-11-12Restrict unprivileged access to kernel syslogDan Rosenberg
The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog. This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

Add support for the IT8721F/IT8758E. These new chips differ from the older IT87xxF chips in the following ways: * ADC LSB is 12 mV instead of 16 mV. * PWM values are 8-bit instead of 7-bit.

2010-10-27ext4: add support for lazy inode table initializationLukas Czerner
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors, which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to report false problems. Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting file systems. This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the request list. This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate structures and exits (and can be created later later by another filesystem). We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait. This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2010-10-27delay-accounting: reimplement -c for getdelays.c to report information on a ↵Mel Gorman
target command Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics. For example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays. Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not act as documented. Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not update the documentation. It might be an oversight or it might be because the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited use. This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented. Unlike the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing any information on it. An example of it being used looks like $ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel print delayacct stats ON /home/mel /home/mel/.notes-wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/mel /home/mel/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/mel /home/mel/git-configs/dot.kde/share/apps/konqueror/home/mel PID 5923 CPU count real total virtual total delay total 42779 5051232096 5164722692 564207988 IO count delay total 41727 97804147758 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-27/proc/pid/smaps: export amount of anonymous memory in a mappingNikanth Karthikesan
Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps. Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via smaps. Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others studying the memory usage of a process.
