PM: Add missing syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls

2011-04-19T22:36:11Z

Device suspend/resume infrastructure is used not only by the suspend and hibernate code in kernel/power, but also by APM, Xen and the kexec jump feature. However, commit 40dc166cb5dddbd36aa4ad11c03915ea (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM) failed to add syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls to that code, which generally leads to breakage when the features in question are used. To fix this problem, add the missing syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls to arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c, kernel/kexec.c and drivers/xen/manage.c. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

kdump: Allow shrinking of kdump region to be overridden

2011-04-01T05:14:30Z

On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware. This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash. Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make it a weak function so we can override it.

kexec: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user() failures

2010-08-11T15:59:22Z

copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied. It never returns a negative value. The correct return code is -EFAULT and not -EIO. All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return code is passed to the user so we should fix this. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Cc: Hidetoshi Seto Cc: "Paul E.

kexec: fix Oops in crash_shrink_memory()

2010-06-29T22:29:31Z

When crashkernel is not enabled, "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" OOPSes the kernel in crash_shrink_memory. This happens when crash_shrink_memory tries to release the 'crashk_res' resource which are not reserved. Also value of "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" shows as 1, which should be 0. This patch fixes the OOPS in crash_shrink_memory and shows "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" as 0 when crash kernel memory is not reserved.

kexec: fix OOPS in crash_kernel_shrink

2010-05-12T00:33:42Z

Two "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" OOPSes kernel. Also content of this file is invalid after first shrink to zero: it shows 1 instead of 0. This scenario is unlikely to happen often (root privs, valid crashkernel= in cmdline, dump-capture kernel not loaded), I hit it only by chance. This patch fixes it.

percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to core kernel subsystems

2010-02-17T02:17:38Z

Add __percpu sparse annotations to core subsystems. These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.
