9e124fe16f xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy
Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console).  This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).

This is okay as long tty is a useful console.  But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy.  In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line.  Commit b8c2d3dfbc
did that for us.

Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled.  But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.

Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled.  By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.

Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console.  Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

a15af1c9ea x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags
Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte.  This is a special
case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags
correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.

The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags
without having to do any translation of the page number (most notably,
Xen).

239d1fc04e xen: don't worry about preempt during xen_irq_enable()
When enabling interrupts, we don't need to worry about preemption,
because we either enter with interrupts disabled - so no preemption -
or the caller is confused and is re-enabling interrupts on some
indeterminate processor.

4226ab93d8 x86: use pteval_t for _PAGE_FOO
Rather than making _PAGE_* constants signed, and then relying on
sign-extension to make sure that masks derived from them are wide
enough, just explicitly type them pteval_t.  This guarantees that they
and any derived values are the right size for the current pte format.

The reliance on sign extension is fragile, and invokes some very
subtle corners of the C type system.

e8ffef73c8 IB/ipath: Avoid test_bit() on u64 SDMA status value
Gabriel C <nix.or.die@googlemail.com> pointed out that when the x86
bitops are updated to operate on unsigned long, the code in
sdma_abort_task() will produce warnings:

    drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_sdma.c: In function 'sdma_abort_task':
    drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_sdma.c:267: warning: passing argument 2 of 'constant_test_bit' from incompatible pointer type

and so on, because it uses test_bit() to operation on a u64 value
(returned by ipath_read_kref64() for a hardware register).

Fix up these warnings by converting the test_bit() operations to &ing
with appropriate symbolic defines of the bits within the hardware
register.  This has the benign side-effect of making the code more
self-documenting as well.

d031476408 hrtimer: remove warning in hres_timers_resume
hres_timers_resume() warns if there appears to be more than one cpu
online.  This warning makes sense when the suspend/resume mechanism
offlines all cpus but one during the suspend/resume process.

However, Xen suspend does not need to offline the other cpus; it
merely keeps them tied up in stop_machine() while the virtual machine
is suspended.  The warning hres_timers_resume issues is therefore
spurious.

41c52c0db9 ftrace: set_ftrace_notrace feature
While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice
to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter
on functions.

I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called

  set_ftrace_notrace

When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will
not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those
functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel.

Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if
set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for
those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those
functions from being traced.

If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up
with an empty trace.

the set of functions to trace is:

  set_ftrace_filter == empty then

     all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace

  else

     set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

da89a7a253 ftrace: remove printks from irqsoff trace
Printing out new max latencies was fine for the old RT tracer. But for
mainline it is a bit messy. We also need to test if the run queue
is locked before we can do the print. This means that we may not be
printing out latencies if the run queue is locked on another CPU.
This produces inconsistencies in the output.

This patch simply removes the print altogether.

19384c0314 ftrace: limit use of check pages
The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems
with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt.

This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to

the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and
the self tests.

This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with
a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer.

cbaffba12c posix timers: discard SI_TIMER signals on exec
Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements
from the very beginning, and then by Linus.

As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal
because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending
signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this
surprising. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10460

c8e85b4f4b posix timers: sigqueue_free: don't free sigqueue if it is queued
Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the
pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the
"full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all.

Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list
if it is queued.

This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued
after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value,
and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits
the number of posix timers.

571640cad3 ext4: enable barriers by default
I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available;  I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.

An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.

SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.

Also document the mount option while we're at it.

944600930a ext4: fix online resize bug
There is a bug when we are trying to verify that the reserve inode's
double indirect blocks point back to the primary gdt blocks.  The fix is
obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block.  This was
verified using the same testcase as with the ext3 equivalent of this
patch.

0bf7e8379c ext4: Fix uninit block group initialization with FLEX_BG
With FLEX_BG block bitmaps, inode bitmaps and inode tables _MAY_ be
allocated outside the group.  So, when initializing an uninitialized
block bitmap, we need to check the location of this blocks before
setting the corresponding bits in the block bitmap of the newly
initialized group.  Also return the right number of free blocks when
counting the available free blocks in uninit group.

7c9f8861e6 stackprotector: use canary at end of stack to indicate overruns at oops time
(Updated with a common max-stack-used checker that knows about
the canary, as suggested by Joe Perches)

Use a canary at the end of the stack to clearly indicate
at oops time whether the stack has ever overflowed.

This is a very simple implementation with a couple of
drawbacks:

1) a thread may legitimately use exactly up to the last
   word on the stack

 -- but the chances of doing this and then oopsing later seem slim

2) it's possible that the stack usage isn't dense enough
   that the canary location could get skipped over

 -- but the worst that happens is that we don't flag the overrun
 -- though this happens fairly often in my testing :(

With the code in place, an intentionally-bloated stack oops might
do:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8103f84cc680
IP: [<ffffffff810253df>] update_curr+0x9a/0xa8
PGD 8063 PUD 0
Thread overran stack or stack corrupted
Oops: 0000 [1] SMP
CPU 0
...

... unless the stack overrun is so bad that it corrupts some other
thread.

b40a4392a3 stackprotector: turn not having the right gcc into a #warning
If the user selects the stack-protector config option, but does not have
a gcc that has the right bits enabled (for example because it isn't build
with a glibc that supports TLS, as is common for cross-compilers, but also
because it may be too old), then the runtime test fails right now.

This patch adds a warning message for this scenario. This warning accomplishes
two goals
1) the user is informed that the security option he selective isn't available
2) the user is suggested to turn of the CONFIG option that won't work for him,
   and would make the runtime test fail anyway.
