Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell: "Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to speed module address lookup. He found some abusers of the module lock doing that too. A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah, really). Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too" * tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: (26 commits) modules: only use mod->param_lock if CONFIG_MODULES param: fix module param locks when !CONFIG_SYSFS. rcu: merge fix for Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() module: add per-module param_lock module: make perm const params: suppress unused variable error, warn once just in case code changes. modules: clarify CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS help, suggest 'N'. kernel/module.c: avoid ifdefs for sig_enforce declaration kernel/workqueue.c: remove ifdefs over wq_power_efficient kernel/params.c: export param_ops_bool_enable_only kernel/params.c: generalize bool_enable_only kernel/module.c: use generic module param operaters for sig_enforce kernel/params: constify struct kernel_param_ops uses sysfs: tightened sysfs permission checks module: Rework module_addr_{min,max} module: Use __module_address() for module_address_lookup() module: Make the mod_tree stuff conditional on PERF_EVENTS || TRACING module: Optimize __module_address() using a latched RB-tree rbtree: Implement generic latch_tree seqlock: Introduce raw_read_seqcount_latch() ...

kernel/params: constify struct kernel_param_ops uses

2015-05-28T02:02:10Z

Most code already uses consts for the struct kernel_param_ops, sweep the kernel for the last offending stragglers. Other than include/linux/moduleparam.h and kernel/params.c all other changes were generated with the following Coccinelle SmPL patch. Merge conflicts between trees can be handled with Coccinelle. In the future git could get Coccinelle merge support to deal with patch --> fail --> grammar --> Coccinelle --> new patch conflicts automatically for us on patches where the grammar is available and the patch is of high confidence. Consider this a feature request.

ipmi: Fix multi-part message handling

2015-05-06T00:37:22Z

Lots of little fixes for multi-part messages: The values was not being re-initialized, if something went wrong handling a multi-part message and it got left in a bad state, it might be an issue. The commands were not correct when issuing multi-part reads, the code was not passing in the proper value for commands. Also clean up some minor formatting issues. Get the block number from the right location, limit the maximum send message size to 63 bytes and explain why, and fix some minor sylistic issues. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Add alert handling to SSIF

2015-05-06T00:36:38Z

The SSIF interface can optionally have an SMBus alert come in when data is ready. Unfortunately, the IPMI spec gives wiggle room to the implementer to allow them to always have the alert enabled, even if the driver doesn't enable it. So implement alerts. If you don't in this situation, the SMBus alert handling will constantly complain. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Fix a problem that messages are not issued in run_to_completion mode

2015-05-06T00:33:49Z

start_next_msg() issues a message placed in smi_info->waiting_msg if it is non-NULL. However, sender() sets a message to smi_info->curr_msg and NULL to smi_info->waiting_msg in the context of run_to_completion mode. As the result, it leads an infinite loop by waiting the completion of unissued message when leaving dying message after kernel panic. sender() should set the message to smi_info->waiting_msg not curr_msg.

ipmi: Report an error if ACPI _IFT doesn't exist

2015-05-06T00:33:48Z

When probing an ACPI table, report a specific error, instead of just returning an error, if _IFT doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Don't report err in the SI driver for SSIF devices

Really ignore them by returning -ENODEV from the probe, but not doing anything. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

ipmi: Remove incorrect use of seq_has_overflowed

2015-05-05T19:24:46Z

commit d6c5dc18d863 ("ipmi: Remove uses of return value of seq_printf") incorrectly changed the return value of various proc_show functions to use seq_has_overflowed(). These functions should return 0 on completion rather than 1/true on overflow. 1 is the same as #define SEQ_SKIP which would cause the output to not be emitted (skipped) instead. This is a logical defect only as the length of these outputs are all smaller than the initial allocation done by the seq filesystem. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard
