2009-04-13initramfs: fix initramfs to work with hardlinked initRandy Robertson1-1/+2
Change cb6ff208076b5f434db1b8c983429269d719cef5 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init being a hardlink. It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary format. My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on nommu systems, although I would guess not.

2009-04-13ptrace: fix exit_ptrace() vs ptrace_traceme() raceOleg Nesterov1-3/+4
Pointed out by Roland. The bug was recently introduced by me in "forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit 39c626ae47c469abdfd30c6e42eff884931380d6. Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after that. Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before ->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.

2009-04-13spi: spi_write_then_read() bugfixesDavid Brownell1-8/+14
The "simplify spi_write_then_read()" patch included two regressions from the 2.6.27 behaviors: - The data it wrote out during the (full duplex) read side of the transfer was not zeroed. - It fails completely on half duplex hardware, such as Microwire and most "3-wire" SPI variants. So, revert that patch. A revised version should be submitted at some point, which can get the speedup on standard hardware (full duplex) without breaking on less-capable half-duplex stuff.

2009-04-13hwmon: sht15 humidity sensor driverJonathan Cameron4-0/+727
Data sheet at: http://www.sensirion.ch/en/pdf/product_information/Datasheet-humidity-sensor-SHT1x.pdf These sensors communicate over a 2 wire bus running a device specific protocol. The complexity of the driver is mainly due to handling the substantial delays between requesting a reading and the device pulling the data line low to indicate that the data is available. This is handled by an interrupt that is disabled under all other conditions. I wasn't terribly clear on the best way to handle this, so comments on that aspect would be particularly welcome! Interpretation of the temperature depends on knowing the supply voltage. If configured in a board config as a regulator consumer this is obtained from the regulator subsystem. If not it should be provided in the platform data. I've placed this driver in the hwmon subsystem as it is definitely a device that may be used for hardware monitoring and with it's relatively slow response times (up to 120 millisecs to get a reading) a caching strategy certainly seems to make sense!

2009-04-13add some long-missing capabilities to fs_maskSerge E. Hallyn1-4/+19
When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

2009-04-12lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taintsFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+3
Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker3-3/+16
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().
