* [PATCH] Re-positioning the bss segmentVivek Goyal2006-09-301-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [AK: This apparently broke some systems, but we need it to fix a compile problem with old binutils and in theory the patch is correct. So let's trying reenabling it again.] o Currently bss segment is being placed somewhere in the middle (after .data) section and after bss lots of init section and data sections are coming. Is it intentional? o One side affect of placing bss in the middle is that objcopy keeps the bss in raw binary image (vmlinux.bin) hence unnecessarily increasing the size of raw binary image. (In my case ~600K). It also increases the size of generated bzImage, though the increase is very small (896 bytes), probably a very high compression ratio for stream of zeros. o This patch moves the bss at the end hence reducing the size of bzImage by 896 bytes and size of vmlinux.bin by 600K. o This change benefits in the context of relocatable kernel patches. If kernel bss is not part of compressed data (vmlinux.bin) then it does not have to be decompressed and this area can be used by the decompressor for its execution hence keeping the memory requirements bounded and decompressor code does not stomp over any other data loaded beyond kernel image (As might be the case with bootloaders like kexec).

* [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto2006-09-291-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

* [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2006-09-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add sysfs support. Currently each CPU has three microcode related attributes. One is 'version' which shows current ucode version of CPU. Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status. one is 'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode. Another is 'processor_flags', which exports processor flags, so we can write tools to check if CPU has latest ucode. Also add suspend/resume and CPU hotplug support.

* [PATCH] Allow an arch to expand node boundariesMel Gorman2006-09-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node (pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was registered by the architecture. However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add. This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to at *least* the requested boundary.

This was because those areas would never be reclaimed and accounting for them as memory affects min watermarks. This patch will account for the memmap as a memory hole.

Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This will allow for the MMCCONFIG regions to be marked as busy in the iomem address space as well as the regions(s) showing up in /proc/iomem.

| * [PATCH] Insert GART region into resource mapAaron Durbin2006-09-261-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch inserts the GART region into the iomem resource map. The GART will then be visible within /proc/iomem. It will also allow for other users utilizing the GART to subreserve the region (agp or IOMMU). Signed-off-by: Aaron Durbin <adurbin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
| * [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Only do MCFG e820 check when type 1 worksAndi Kleen2006-09-261-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Needs earlier patch to split type 1 probing from use. This patch should fix the x86 macs where type 1 PCI config space access doesn't work, but MCFG does. They also don't have a usable e820 table so the e820 sanity check failed. Instead assume now that if type 1 doesn't work then MCFG must work and don't do the e820 check. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| * [PATCH] Fix idle notifiersAndi Kleen2006-09-261-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously exit_idle would be called more often than enter_idle Now instead of using complicated tests just keep track of it using the per CPU variable as a flip flop. I moved the idle state into the PDA to make the access more efficient. Original bug report and an initial patch from Stephane Eranian, but redone by AK.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Don't zero for __copy_from_user_inatomic following i386. This will prevent spurious zeros for parallel file system writers when one does a exception - The string instruction version didn't zero the output on exception. Oops. Also I cleaned up the code a bit while I was at it and added a minor optimization to the string instruction path. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
