Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to
allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures
that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap
subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file.
If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the
blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block
bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were
resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM
can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file.
int swap_activate(struct file *);
int swap_deactivate(struct file *);
The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the
VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such
as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools
and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The
->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate()
returned success.
After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked
SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to
sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache
pages and ->readpage to read.
It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but
it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that
->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem
developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable
for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of
writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

The number of ptes and swap entries are used in the oom killer's badness
heuristic, so they should be shown in the tasklist dump.
This patch adds those fields and replaces cpu and oom_adj values that are
currently emitted. Cpu isn't interesting and oom_adj is deprecated and
will be removed later this year, the same information is already displayed
as oom_score_adj which is used internally.
At the same time, make the documentation a little more clear to state this
information is helpful to determine why the oom killer chose the task it
did to kill.

This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error
handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to
the following notifier chain callbacks.
* CPU notifier
* PM notifier
* memory hotplug notifier
* powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier
Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to
tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline
test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection
module is available.
This patch:
The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical
errors to specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the
error handling of notifier call chain failures.
This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be
fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code
should be returned and which event should be failed.

There are many places in the kernel where the drivers print small buffers
as a hex string. This patch adds a support of the variable width buffer
to print it as a hex string with a delimiter. The idea came from Pavel
Roskin here: http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/18835/17449/
Sample output of
pr_info("buf[%d:%d] %*phC\n", from, len, len, &buf[from]);
could be look like this:

When the suid_dumpable sysctl is set to "2", and there is no core dump
pipe defined in the core_pattern sysctl, a local user can cause core files
to be written to root-writable directories, potentially with
user-controlled content.
This means an admin can unknowningly reintroduce a variation of
CVE-2006-2451, allowing local users to gain root privileges.
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable
2
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
core
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ cd /
$ ls -l core
ls: cannot access core: No such file or directory
$ touch core
touch: cannot touch `core': Permission denied
$ OHAI="evil-string-here" ping localhost >/dev/null 2>&1 &
$ pid=$!
$ sleep 1
$ kill -SEGV $pid
$ ls -l core
-rw------- 1 root kees 458752 Jun 21 11:35 core
$ sudo strings core | grep evil
OHAI=evil-string-here
While cron has been fixed to abort reading a file when there is any
parse error, there are still other sensitive directories that will read
any file present and skip unparsable lines.
Instead of introducing a suid_dumpable=3 mode and breaking all users of
mode 2, this only disables the unsafe portion of mode 2 (writing to disk
via relative path). Most users of mode 2 (e.g. Chrome OS) already use
a core dump pipe handler, so this change will not break them. For the
situations where a pipe handler is not defined but mode 2 is still
active, crash dumps will only be written to fully qualified paths. If a
relative path is defined (e.g. the default "core" pattern), dump
attempts will trigger a printk yelling about the lack of a fully
qualified path.

tps65090, da9052 and twl-core."
Fix up mostly trivial conflicts, with the exception of
drivers/usb/host/ehci-omap.c in particular, which had some
re-organization of the reset sequence (commit 1a49e2ac96: "EHCI:
centralize controller initialization") that clashed with commit
2761a63945 ("mfd: USB: Fix the omap-usb EHCI ULPI PHY reset fix
issues").
In particular, commit 2761a63945 moved the usb_add_hcd() to the
*middle* of the reset sequence, which clashes fairly badly with the
reset sequence re-organization (although it could have been done inside
the new omap_ehci_init() function).
I left that part of commit 2761a63945 just undone.

Pull PWM subsystem from Thierry Reding:
"The new PWM subsystem aims at collecting all implementations of the
legacy PWM API and to eventually replace it completely.
The subsystem has been in development for over half a year now and
many drivers have already been converted. It has been in linux-next
for a couple of weeks and there have been no major issues so I think
it is ready for inclusion in your tree."
Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>:
"Very much Ack on the new subsystem. It uses the interface
declarations as the previously separate pwm drivers, so nothing
changes for now in the drivers using it, although it enables us to
change those more easily in the future if we want to.
This work is also one of the missing pieces that are required to
eventually build ARM kernels for multiple platforms, which is
currently prohibited (amongs other things) by the fact that you cannot
have more than one driver exporting the pwm functions."
