2013-03-15sysrq: fix inconstistent help message of sysrq keyzhangwei(Jovi)1-19/+19
Currently help message of /proc/sysrq-trigger highlight its upper-case characters, like below: SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crash terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) ... this would confuse user trigger sysrq by upper-case character, which is inconsistent with the real lower-case character registed key. This inconsistent help message will also lead more confused when 26 upper-case letters put into use in future. This patch fix it. Thanks the comments from Andrew and Randy.

2013-02-27sysrq: don't depend on weak undefined arrays to have an address that compares as NULLLinus Torvalds1-8/+7
When taking an address of an extern array, gcc quite naturally should be able to say "an address of an object can never be NULL" and just optimize away the test entirely. However, the new alternate sysrq reset code (commit 154b7a489a5b: "Input: sysrq - allow specifying alternate reset sequence") did exactly that, and declared platform_sysrq_reset_seq[] as a weak array, and expecting that testing the address of the array would show whether it actually got linked against something or not. And that doesn't work with all gcc versions. Clearly it works with *some* versions of gcc, and maybe it's even supposed to work, but it really is a very fragile concept. So instead of testing the address of the weak variable, just create a weak instance of that array that is empty. If some platform then has a real platform_sysrq_reset_seq[] that overrides our weak one, the linker will switch to that one, and it all works without any run-time conditionals at all.

2013-01-17Input: sysrq - allow specifying alternate reset sequenceMathieu Poirier1-74/+202
This patch adds keyreset functionality to the sysrq driver. It allows certain button/key combinations to be used in order to trigger emergency reboots. Redefining the '__weak platform_sysrq_reset_seq' variable is required to trigger the feature. Alternatively keys can be passed to the driver via a module parameter. This functionality comes from the keyreset driver submitted by Arve Hjønnevåg in the Android kernel.

2012-04-05sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig()Anton Vorontsov1-1/+1
Change send_sig_all() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead of force_sig(SIGKILL). With the recent changes we do not need force_ to kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks. And this is more correct. force_sig() can race with the exiting thread, while do_send_sig_info(group => true) kill the whole process. Some more notes from Oleg Nesterov: > Just one note. This change makes no difference for sysrq_handle_kill(). > But it obviously changes the behaviour sysrq_handle_term(). I think > this is fine, if you want to really kill the task which blocks/ignores > SIGTERM you can use sysrq_handle_kill(). > > Even ignoring the reasons why force_sig() is simply wrong here, > force_sig(SIGTERM) looks strange. The task won't be killed if it has > a handler, but SIG_IGN can't help. However if it has the handler > but blocks SIGTERM temporary (this is very common) it will be killed. Also, > force_sig() can't kill the process if the main thread has already > exited. IOW, it is trivial to create the process which can't be > killed by sysrq. So, this patch fixes the issue.

2012-03-21mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+fDavid Rientjes1-1/+1
The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if: - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit, and - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory. SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging task. This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself. For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer. This patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.

2012-03-08vt:tackle kbd_tableAlan Cox1-4/+2
Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on - Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users - Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer - Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress - Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking around properly - Tweak the braille console so it still builds There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place. This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

2011-03-24lib, arch: add filter argument to show_mem and fix private implementationsDavid Rientjes1-1/+1
Commit ddd588b5dd55 ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own versions of show_mem(): lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem': show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem' arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in all implementations to prevent this breakage. Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the generic implementation.
