The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte. The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]". [ This is just an alternate and simpler patch to one proposed by Andrew and Jeremy, who actually noticed the problem ] Acked-by:

Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL. These will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the kernel and are on the way out. When a module uses such a symbol, a warning is printk'd at modprobe time. The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary. This patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config option. Signed-off-by:

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it should also be a BUG. Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree): radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1); to fail silently, but when preceded by: radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item); it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert. In neither case was 16 present. Signed-off-by:

Reduce radix tree node memory usage by about a factor of 4 for small files (< 64K). There are pointer traversal and memory usage costs for large files with dense pagecache. Signed-off-by:
-
Nick Piggin authored
The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd. On 64-bit machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in pagecache. Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits. Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions (the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache savings will mean it's actually a speedup). On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in pagecache. Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be improved. This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it. Signed-off-by:

Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme instead of the buddy scheme. The purpose of this change is to eliminate the touching of the actual memory being allocated. Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator (arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required. Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed.

Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3. The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%) than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32). For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement. I don't consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to change the zlib_deflate code. Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate. This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to work. This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32. JFFS2 sees an approx. 10% real world file read speed improvement. This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value. We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will take care of that for us. This removal is also more in keeping with the zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24 ) and I've added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.
