      tracing: Generate names for each kprobe event automatically · 4263565d
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      

Generate names for each kprobe event based on the probe point.
(SYMBOL+offs or MEMADDR).

Also remove generic k*probe event types because there is no user
of those types.

      tracing: Add vim script to enable folding for function_graph traces · 6591b493
      Josh Triplett authored 
      

function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with
braces denoting the start and end of functions.  function-graph-fold.vim
teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to
browse them.

To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph
trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it
from the command-line together with a trace.  You can then use the usual
vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions.
While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would
normally appear on the line with the closing brace.  Folded functions
will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain
relatively sane even through a context switch.

Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU
trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1).  It also takes some time to run
(a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop).  Nevertheless, I found
it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on
problematic calls.

      thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdrivers · 1f6fc2de
      Henrique de Moraes Holschuh authored 
      

The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
broken anyway...

Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.

That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.

Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.

      ALSA: pcm - Add logging of hwptr updates and interrupt updates · cedb8118
      Takashi Iwai authored 
      

Added the logging functionality to xrun_debug to record the hwptr
updates via snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr() and snd_pcm_update_hwptr_interrupt(),
corresponding to 16 and 8, respectively.

For example,
	# echo 9 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug
will record the position and other parameters at each period interrupt
together with the normal XRUN debugging.

      netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack_alloc() fixes · 941297f4
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      

When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating
objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless
readers.

In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next
being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next
object in hash chain.)

kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid
for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next.

Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself.

As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to
memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference
on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier.
