As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are
performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange
it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the
kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the
tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop
the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code
modification.
Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help
the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system
a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user
know that their data may be incomplete.

Consider structures, unions and enums defined in the source file as
internal and do not expand them. This way, changes to e.g. struct
serial_private in drivers/tty/serial/8250_pci.c will not affect the

This UML breakage:
linux-2.6.30.1[3800] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb9c498 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790
linux-2.6.30.1[3856] vsyscall fault (exploit attempt?) ip:ffffffffff600000 cs:33 sp:7fbfb13168 ax:ffffffffff600000 si:0 di:606790
Is caused by commit 3ae36655 ("x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add
vsyscall= parameter") - the vsyscall emulation code is not fully cooked
yet as UML relies on some rather fragile SIGSEGV semantics.
Linus suggested in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/9/376 to default
to vsyscall=native for now, this patch implements that.

RAID1 and RAID10 handle write requests by queuing them for handling by
a separate thread. This is because when a write-intent-bitmap is
active we might need to update the bitmap first, so it is good to
queue a lot of writes, then do one big bitmap update for them all.
However writeback request devices to appear to be congested after a
while so it can make some guesstimate of throughput. The infinite
queue defeats that (note that RAID5 has already has a finite queue so
it doesn't suffer from this problem).
So impose a limit on the number of pending write requests. By default
it is 1024 which seems to be generally suitable. Make it configurable
via module option just in case someone finds a regression.

Invoke cn_netlink_send() in a work context as opposed being called
in the context of channel callback. On entry into the channel callback
code the channel inbound spin lock is held and deferring to a work
context avoids having to invoke cn_netlink_send() while holding
the inbound lock. As part of this adjustment, also increase the
timeout value for waiting for the user level component of KVP.

Apparently we never freed memory allocated when users open our char
devices nor removed old users from the list of connected clients.
Also unregister misc device immediately upon disconnecting the port
instead of waiting until last user drops off (refcounting in misc
device code will make sure needed pieces stay around while they
are needed) and make sure we are not holing holding serio_raw_mutex
when registering/unregistering misc device. This should fix potential
deadlock between serio_raw and misc device code uncovered by lockdep
and reported by Thomas Tuttle.

Send SIGIO/POLL_HUP and otherwise wake up waiters when corresponding serio
port is being disconnected. Also check if port is dead in serio_raw_poll
and signal POLLHUP|POLLERR.
This should speed up process of releasing dead devices by userspace

The host gurantees that there can be only one kvp transaction active
against the guest. So, the transaction active state is needed only to
protect against spurious user level calls. The current code had a race
condition where the guest could prematurely return because the previous
transaction state was not cleared - this state was being cleared after
sending the response to the host and there was a window where the host
could notify the guest of a new transaction before the transaction active
state was properly set.
Also deal with the case when the user mode component
does not respond in a timely fashion correctly.
