2012-06-02powerpc: Fix size of st_nlink on 64bitAnton Blanchard1-1/+1

2012-06-01nls: fix (and rename) mac NLS table files and config optionsLinus Torvalds13-33/+33
The config options in the Kconfig file (with _CODEPAGE_ in the name) didn't match the config option name in the Makefile (no _CODEPAGE_). And both of them were of the hard-to-read MACXYZZY variety, which made them hard to parse for normal humans: MACROMAN easily reads as "macro man", not as "Mac Roman". So rename the options to be consistent, and be NLS_MAC_xyzzy. Rename the files to be mac-xyzzy.c too, and drop the "nls" part entirely (it's already in the directory name).

2012-06-01x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32H.J. Lu1-6/+0
When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

2012-06-01mtd: block2mtd: fix recursive call of mtd_writevGabor Juhos1-1/+0
The 'mtd_writev' interface calls the function assigned to the '_write' field of a given mtd device if that is not NULL. The block2mtd driver sets the '_writev' field to the 'mtd_writev' function itself and thus causes a endless loop. This is caused by 1dbebd32562b3c2caeca35960e5cb00bfcc12900 (mtd: harmonize mtd_writev usage). Remove the assignment from the block2mtd driver to fix the issue.

2012-06-01x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel modeAl Viro2-13/+10
If we end up calling do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(refs), it does nothing (do_signal() explicitly bails out and we can't get there with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in such situations). Then we jump to resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop. It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume() and bail out to resume_kernel immediately. And kill the check in do_signal()... Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm glue takes care of that.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one). I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number + siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one, signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() - take one).

2012-06-01nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidateMiklos Szeredi2-55/+78
NFSv4 can't do reliable opens in d_revalidate, since it cannot know whether a mount needs to be followed or not. It does check d_mountpoint() on the dentry, which can result in a weird error if the VFS found that the mount does not in fact need to be followed, e.g.: # mount --bind /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs-clone # echo something > /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar # echo x > /tmp/file # mount --bind /tmp/file /mnt/nfs-clone/tmp/bar # cat /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar cat: /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar: Not a directory Which should, by any sane filesystem, result in "something" being printed. So instead do the open in f_op->open() and in the unlikely case that the cached dentry turned out to be invalid, drop the dentry and return EOPENSTALE to let the VFS retry.

2012-06-01vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentryMiklos Szeredi2-2/+36
NFS optimizes away d_revalidates for last component of open. This means that open itself can find the dentry stale. This patch allows the filesystem to return EOPENSTALE and the VFS will retry the lookup on just the last component if possible. If the lookup was done using RCU mode, including the last component, then this is not possible since the parent dentry is lost. In this case fall back to non-RCU lookup. Currently this is not used since NFS will always leave RCU mode. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
