fsnotify drops new events when they are the same as the tail event on the
queue to be sent to userspace. The problem is that if the event comes with
a path we forget to break out of the switch statement and fall into the
code path which matches on events that do not have any type of file backed
information (things like IN_UNMOUNT and IN_Q_OVERFLOW). The problem is
that this code thinks all such events should be dropped. Fix is to add a
break.

inotify drops events if the last event on the queue is the same as the
current event. But it does 2 things wrong. First it is comparing old->inode
with new->inode. But after an event if put on the queue the ->inode is no
longer allowed to be used. It's possible between the last event and this new
event the inode could be reused and we would falsely match the inode's memory
address between two differing events.
The second problem is that when a file is removed fsnotify is passed the
negative dentry for the removed object rather than the postive dentry from
immediately before the removal. This mean the (broken) inotify tail drop code
was matching the NULL ->inode of differing events.
The fix is to check the file name which is stored with events when doing the
tail drop instead of wrongly checking the address of the stored ->inode.

fsnotify doens't give the user anything. If someone chooses inotify or
dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be
built. This patch changes fsnotify to be a def_bool=n and makes everything
else select it. Also fixes the issue people complained about on lwn where
gdm hung because they didn't have inotify and they didn't get the inotify
build option.....

inotify_update_watch could leave things in a horrid state on a number of
error paths. We could try to remove idr entries that didn't exist, we
could send an IN_IGNORED to userspace for watches that don't exist, and a
bit of other stupidity. Clean these up by doing the idr addition before we
put the mark on the inode since we can clean that up on error and getting
off the inode's mark list is hard.

inotify_add_watch had a couple of problems. The biggest being that if
inotify_add_watch was called on the same inode twice (to update or change the
event mask) a refence was taken on the original inode mark by
fsnotify_find_mark_entry but was not being dropped at the end of the
inotify_add_watch call. Thus if inotify_rm_watch was called although the mark
was removed from the inode, the refcnt wouldn't hit zero and we would leak
memory.

The inotify rewrite forgot to drop the inotify watch use cound when a watch
was removed. This means that a single inotify fd can only ever register a
maximum of /proc/sys/fs/max_user_watches even if some of those had been
freed.

If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second
argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites
the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not
need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple
spin_lock.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss
input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all
architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and
__bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is
within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example
code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined
twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the
BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro.
Another problem with the current macros is that several
architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before
__bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently
hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also
ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that.
mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by
this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted
to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was
a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start
alignment). So fix this as well.
I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since
he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use
BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

ftrace_trace_onoff_callback() will return an error even if we do the
right operation, for example:
# echo _spin_*:traceon:10 > set_ftrace_filter
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
_spin_trylock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irq:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock:traceon:count=10
_spin_trylock:traceon:count=10
_spin_unlock_irqrestore:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_irqsave:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock_bh:traceon:count=10
_spin_lock:traceon:count=10
We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.
This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.
If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.
So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
- echo characters are pending
- FASYNC is enabled
- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
- a device write path (pty)
- an IRQ (serial)
then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.
On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.
The code path is
n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
tty_io:tty_put_char()
pty:pty_write (or serial paths)
tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ)
n_tty_write_wakeup()
