      "message": "[PATCH] lockdep: core\n\nDo \u0027make oldconfig\u0027 and accept all the defaults for new config options -\nreboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and\nyou should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.\n\nTypically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out\nvoluminous debug output that begins with \"BUG: ...\" and which syslog output\ncan be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario.\n\nWhat does the lock validator do?  It \"observes\" and maps all locking rules as\nthey occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel\u0027s natural use of spinlocks,\nrwlocks, mutexes and rwsems).  Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a\nnew locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of\nrules.  If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the\nnew rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal.  If the\nnew rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.\n\nWhen determining validity of locking, all possible \"deadlock scenarios\" are\nconsidered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task\ncontext constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing\nlocking scenarios.  In a typical system this means millions of separate\nscenarios.  This is why we call it a \"locking correctness\" validator - for all\nrules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical\ncertainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator\nimplementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not\ncorrupted by some other kernel subsystem).  [see more details and conditionals\nof this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt]\n\nFurthermore, this \"all possible scenarios\" property of the validator also\nenables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races\nvia single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs\ndrastically.  In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in\nthe upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and\nwhich needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.\nThat bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!).  So in essence a\nrace will be found \"piecemail-wise\", triggering all the necessary components\nfor the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself!  In its\nshort existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they\nactually caused a real deadlock.\n\nTo further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per\n\"lock instance\", but per \"lock-class\".  For example, all struct inode objects\nin the kernel have inode-\u003einotify_mutex.  If there are 10,000 inodes cached,\nthen there are 10,000 lock objects.  But -\u003einotify_mutex is a single \"lock\ntype\", and all locking activities that occur against -\u003einotify_mutex are\n\"unified\" into this single lock-class.  The advantage of the lock-class\napproach is that all historical -\u003einotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single\n(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many\ndifferent tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules.  The\nset of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.\n\nTo see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here\u0027s a\nportion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:\n\n lock-classes:                            694 [max: 2048]\n direct dependencies:                  1598 [max: 8192]\n indirect dependencies:               17896\n all direct dependencies:             16206\n dependency chains:                    1910 [max: 8192]\n in-hardirq chains:                      17\n in-softirq chains:                     105\n in-process chains:                    1065\n stack-trace entries:                 38761 [max: 131072]\n combined max dependencies:         2033928\n hardirq-safe locks:                     24\n hardirq-unsafe locks:                  176\n softirq-safe locks:                     53\n softirq-unsafe locks:                  137\n irq-safe locks:                         59\n irq-unsafe locks:                      176\n\nThe lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,\nand has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.\n\nMore details about the design of the lock validator can be found in\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:\n\n   http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-design.txt\n\n[bunk@stusta.de: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@stusta.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes\n\nThe kernel\u0027s implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no\nprotection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the\nchain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:\n\n    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d113018709002036\u0026w\u003d2\n\nWe noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage\nclasses:\n\n\t\"Blocking\" chains are always called from a process context\n\tand the callout routines are allowed to sleep;\n\n\t\"Atomic\" chains can be called from an atomic context and\n\tthe callout routines are not allowed to sleep.\n\nWe decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore\nthis set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking\nnotifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for \"raw\" notifiers (which is\nreally just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are\nused for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for\nregistration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are\nexplained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in\nkernel/sys.c.\n\nWith atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain\nlinks will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by\nentries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no\nguarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The\nidea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and\nblocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to\nhandle these things in their own way.)\n\nThere are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For\natomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in\na process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a\ncallout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister\nentries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code\nhad to be changed to avoid it.)\n\nSince atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use\nspinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost\nentirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much\nless frequent that calling a chain.\n\nHere is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.

If they are,\nplease let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that\ngets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking\nused for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.\n(However, if the chain\u0027s callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be\natomic.)\n\nThe patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating\nmaterial written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew\nMorton.\n\n[jes@sgi.com: restructure the notifier chain initialization macros]\nSigned-off-by: Alan Stern \u003cstern@rowland.harvard.edu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman \u003csekharan@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jes Sorensen \u003cjes@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n"

The autoinstaller feature, for\n   example, which determines if your system has a \"good\" version of a\n   driver (i.e.  if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that\n   provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile\n   and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn\u0027t yet\n   have that version.\n\nb) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out\n   modules on the file system, you can\u0027t count on \u0027modinfo foo.ko\u0027, which\n   looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/...  actually matching what is loaded\n   into the kernel already.  Hence asking sysfs for this.\n\nc) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be\n   possible to rebind a driver that\u0027s built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the\n   version) to a newly loaded module.  sysfs will have the\n   currently-built-in version info, for comparison.\n\nd) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what\u0027s\n   running presently - a question I get often.\n\nThere has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver\nauthors.\n\nAs the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,\nthough the implementation is nearly completely new.
