When a port got hot-unplugged, when a port was open, any file operation
after the unplugging resulted in a crash. This is fixed by ref-counting

This splits the unplug operation in two parts: first marks the port
as unavailable, removes all the buffers in the vqs and removes the port
from the per-device list of ports. The second stage, invoked when all
references drop to zero, releases the chardev and frees all other memory.

another given value. aka roundup(11, 7) would give 14 = 7 * 2. This new

selinux: really fix dependency causing parallel compile failure.
While the previous change to the selinux Makefile reduced the window
significantly for this failure, it is still possible to see a compile
failure where cpp starts processing selinux files before the auto
generated flask.h file is completed. This is easily reproduced by
adding the following temporary change to expose the issue everytime:
- cmd_flask = scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders ...
+ cmd_flask = sleep 30 ; scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders ...
This failure happens because the creation of the object files in the ss
subdir also depends on flask.h. So simply incorporate them into the
parent Makefile, as the ss/Makefile really doesn't do anything unique.
With this change, compiling of all selinux files is dependent on
completion of the header file generation, and this test case with
the "sleep 30" now confirms it is functioning as expected.

selinux: fast status update interface (/selinux/status)
This patch provides a new /selinux/status entry which allows applications
read-only mmap(2).
This region reflects selinux_kernel_status structure in kernel space.
struct selinux_kernel_status
{
u32 length; /* length of this structure */
u32 sequence; /* sequence number of seqlock logic */
u32 enforcing; /* current setting of enforcing mode */
u32 policyload; /* times of policy reloaded */
u32 deny_unknown; /* current setting of deny_unknown */
};
When userspace object manager caches access control decisions provided
by SELinux, it needs to invalidate the cache on policy reload and setenforce
to keep consistency.
However, the applications need to check the kernel state for each accesses
on userspace avc, or launch a background worker process.
In heuristic, frequency of invalidation is much less than frequency of
making access control decision, so it is annoying to invoke a system call
to check we don't need to invalidate the userspace cache.
If we can use a background worker thread, it allows to receive invalidation
messages from the kernel. But it requires us an invasive coding toward the
base application in some cases; E.g, when we provide a feature performing
with SELinux as a plugin module, it is unwelcome manner to launch its own
worker thread from the module.
If we could map /selinux/status to process memory space, application can
know updates of selinux status; policy reload or setenforce.
A typical application checks selinux_kernel_status::sequence when it tries
to reference userspace avc. If it was changed from the last time when it
checked userspace avc, it means something was updated in the kernel space.
Then, the application can reset userspace avc or update current enforcing
mode, without any system call invocations.
This sequence number is updated according to the seqlock logic, so we need
to wait for a while if it is odd number.

tracing: Fix compile issue for trace_sched_wakeup.c
The function start_func_tracer() was incorrectly added in the

when function tracing is not enabled.
The calls to register_ftrace_function() and register_ftrace_graph()
become nops (and their arguments are even ignored), thus there is
no reason to hide start_func_tracer() when function tracing is

perf, powerpc: Fix power_pmu_event_init to not use event->ctx
Commit
c3f00c70 ("perf: Separate find_get_context() from event
initialization") changed the generic perf_event code to call
perf_event_alloc, which calls the arch-specific event_init code,
before looking up the context for the new event. Unfortunately,
power_pmu_event_init uses event->ctx->task to see whether the
new event is a per-task event or a system-wide event, and thus
crashes since event->ctx is NULL at the point where
power_pmu_event_init gets called.
(The reason it needs to know whether it is a per-task event is
because there are some hardware events on Power systems which
only count when the processor is not idle, and there are some
fixed-function counters which count such events. For example,
the "run cycles" event counts cycles when the processor is not
idle. If the user asks to count cycles, we can use "run cycles"
if this is a per-task event, since the processor is running when
the task is running, by definition. We can't use "run cycles"
if the user asks for "cycles" on a system-wide counter.)
Fortunately the information we need is in the
event->attach_state field, so we just use that instead.

ftrace: Remove recursion between recordmcount and scripts/mod/empty
When DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled and we use the C version of recordmcount,
all objects are run through the recordmcount program to create a
separate section that stores all the callers of mcount.
The build process has a special file: scripts/mod/empty.o. This is
built from empty.c which is literally an empty file (except for a
single comment). This file is used to find information about the target
elf format, like endianness and word size.
The problem comes up when we need to build recordmcount. The
build process requires that empty.o is built first. The build rules
for empty.o will try to execute recordmcount on the empty.o file.
We get an error that recordmcount does not exist.
To avoid this recursion, the build file will skip running recordmcount
if the file that it is building is script/mod/empty.o.
