* [PATCH] generic-time: add macro to simplify/hide mask constantsJim Cromie2006-06-266-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a CLOCKSOURCE_MASK macro to simplify initializing the mask for a struct clocksource, and use it to replace literal mask constants in the various clocksource drivers.

* [PATCH] Time: i386 Clocksource Driversjohn stultz2006-06-2611-6/+594
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the time sources for i386 (acpi_pm, cyclone, hpet, pit, and tsc). With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping code should be complete. The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.

* [PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 4: Remove Old timer_opts Codejohn stultz2006-06-269-1716/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the old timers/timer_opts infrastructure which has been disabled. It is a fairly straightforward set of deletions Note that this does not provide any i386 clocksources, so you will only have the jiffies clocksource. To get full replacements for the code being removed here, the timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will be needed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code. While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will be available.

* [PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Supportjohn stultz2006-06-2610-217/+389
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math. This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | John's about to nuke x86's monotonic clock without grepping for it first. The patch lamely borrows the ppc64 code for x86. hangcheck-timer shouldn't be doing it this way a) HAVE_MONOTONIC should be CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK and it should be defined in arch/xxx/Kconfig. b) That ifdef tangle shouldn't be in hangcheck-timer.c.

* [PATCH] Time: Use clocksource abstraction for NTP adjustmentsjohn stultz2006-06-262-19/+125
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies clocksource. This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using shifted nanoseconds. The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the blame to me.

This provides a simple way to convert between NTPs internal nanoseconds shifted by (SHIFT_SCALE - 10) to other shifted nanosecond units that are used by the clocksource abstraction.

Since the only clocksource driver currently provided is the jiffies clocksource, this should result in no functional change. Additionally, a timekeeping_init and timekeeping_resume function has been added to initialize and maintain some of the new timekeping state.

* [PATCH] Time: Clocksource Infrastructurejohn stultz2006-06-265-4/+609
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources. Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.

* [PATCH] Remove old HW RNG supportMichael Buesch2006-06-263-714/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number Generator support by a fully generic RNG API. This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules. With this patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG available now. Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap" devices. (Written by Deepak Saxena). This patch series includes the old patches by Deepak Saxena. The old x86-rng driver has beed split. The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through /sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience. For now it is sufficient to use cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

Use the create permission to restrict which SIDs each task can assign to newly-created keys.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cause key_alloc_serial() to generate key serial numbers randomly rather than in linear sequence. Using an linear sequence permits a covert communication channel to be established, in which one process can communicate with another by creating or not creating new keys within a certain timeframe. The second process can probe for the expected next key serial number and judge its existence by the error returned. This is a problem as the serial number namespace is globally shared between all tasks, regardless of their context.

* [PATCH] uclinux: use PER_LINUX_32BIT in binfmt_flatMalcolm Parsons2006-06-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | binfmt_flat.c calls set_personality with PER_LINUX as the personality. On the arm architecture this results in the program running in 26bit usermode. PER_LINUX_32BIT should be used instead. This doesn't affect other architectures that use binfmt_flat. Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a patch to the system call handling for 5307/5272/etc to: - fix the strace support (one tested the wrong bit) - make all system calls a little bit faster by inlining set_esp0 and supporting ENOSYS out of the critical path. - remove extraneous spaces Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] m68knommu: force stack alignment on ColdFireGreg Ungerer2006-06-251-8/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch solve a bug triggered by execvp (this function use calloc to store the argument list and gcc 3.4.x align the stack to word, not to dword). This situation aren't related to signal handling and all 2.6.x have the bug. On ColdFire targets we must force the stack to be aligned.
