bitmap_find_next_zero_area requires the size of the bitmap, we instead
passed the last suitable position. This made it impossible to allocate

This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h. It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.
prandom32() is useful as a privately-seeded pseudo random number generator
that can give the same result every time it is initialized.
For FCoE FC-BB-6 VN2VN mode self-selected unique FC address generation, we
need an pseudo-random number generator seeded with the 64-bit world-wide
port name. A truly random generator or one seeded with randomness won't
do because the same sequence of numbers should be generated each time we
boot or the link comes up.
A prandom32_seed() inline function is added to the header file. It is
inlined not for speed, but so the function won't be expanded in the base
kernel, but only in the module that uses it.

Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if
idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items
more than 1024. This is due to stepping back too many levels during
backtracking. For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2
nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs.
(In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root
level and 32 IDs in each leaf node). The sequence of freeing the nodes at
the moment is as follows:
layer
1 -> a(7)
2 -> b(3) c(5)
3 -> d(1) e(2) f(4) g(6)
Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g
should be freed first. Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll
have a use after free error at step 6.
How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently
determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting:
Step
1. node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2.
msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back
1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e.
2-3. node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2.
This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing
node b on the way.
4-5. node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still
bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node
a and free c on the way.
6. We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as
node c was freed.
The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back.
Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should
really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position
corresponding to a given layer. In the above example overflow from bit 0
to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level. Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2
should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on.
The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers
on 32 bit systems.

The problem. When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name. Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.
What this patch does is to add an additional tag field to the
sysfs dirent structure. For directories that should show different
contents depending on the context such as /sys/class/net/, and
/sys/devices/virtual/net/ this tag field is used to specify the
context in which those directories should be visible. Effectively
this is the same as creating multiple distinct directories with
the same name but internally to sysfs the result is nicer.
I am calling the concept of a single directory that looks like multiple
directories all at the same path in the filesystem tagged directories.
For the networking namespace the set of directories whose contents I need
to filter with tags can depend on the presence or absence of hotplug
hardware or which modules are currently loaded. Which means I need
a simple race free way to setup those directories as tagged.
To achieve a reace free design all tagged directories are created
and managed by sysfs itself.
Users of this interface:
- define a type in the sysfs_tag_type enumeration.
- call sysfs_register_ns_types with the type and it's operations
- sysfs_exit_ns when an individual tag is no longer valid
- Implement mount_ns() which returns the ns of the calling process
so we can attach it to a sysfs superblock.
- Implement ktype.namespace() which returns the ns of a syfs kobject.
Everything else is left up to sysfs and the driver layer.
For the network namespace mount_ns and namespace() are essentially
one line functions, and look to remain that.
Tags are currently represented a const void * pointers as that is
both generic, prevides enough information for equality comparisons,
and is trivial to create for current users, as it is just the
existing namespace pointer.
The work needed in sysfs is more extensive. At each directory
or symlink creating I need to check if the directory it is being
created in is a tagged directory and if so generate the appropriate
tag to place on the sysfs_dirent. Likewise at each symlink or
directory removal I need to check if the sysfs directory it is
being removed from is a tagged directory and if so figure out
which tag goes along with the name I am deleting.
Currently only directories which hold kobjects, and
symlinks are supported. There is not enough information
in the current file attribute interfaces to give us anything
to discriminate on which makes it useless, and there are
no potential users which makes it an uninteresting problem
to solve.

Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel:
One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a

Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being

This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code.
So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.
Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.
Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.
There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
exception.

This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a
direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against
checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb.
This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard.
All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the
keyboard is done via kgdboc.
If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you
would add to your kernel command arguments:
kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use:
kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0
You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with
the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.
Turn it on:
echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc
Turn it off:

These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.
You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.
The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.
Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
instead of __WARN().

If there are no active threasd using a semaphore, it is always correct
to unqueue blocked threads. This seems to be what was intended in the
undo code.
What was done instead, was to look for a sem count of zero - this is an
impossible situation, given that at least one thread is known to be
queued on the semaphore. The code might be correct as written, but it's
hard to reason about and it's not what was intended (otherwise the goto
out would have been unconditional).
Go for checking the active count - the alternative is not worth the
headache.

Implement a basic state machine checker in the debugobjects.
This state machine checker detects races and inconsistencies within the "active"
life of a debugobject. The checker only keeps track of the current state; all
the state machine logic is kept at the object instance level.
The checker works by adding a supplementary "unsigned int astate" field to the
debug_obj structure. It keeps track of the current "active state" of the object.
The only constraints that are imposed on the states by the debugobjects system
is that:
- activation of an object sets the current active state to 0,
- deactivation of an object expects the current active state to be 0.
For the rest of the states, the state mapping is determined by the specific
object instance. Therefore, the logic keeping track of the state machine is
within the specialized instance, without any need to know about it at the
debugobject level.
The current object active state is changed by calling:
debug_object_active_state(addr, descr, expect, next)
where "expect" is the expected state and "next" is the next state to move to if
the expected state is found. A warning is generated if the expected is not
found.

The CPU_STALL_VERBOSE kernel configuration parameter was added to
2.6.34 to identify any preempted/blocked tasks that were preventing
the current grace period from completing when running preemptible
RCU. As is conventional for new configurations parameters, this
defaulted disabled. It is now time to enable it by default.
