| * [PATCH] powerpc: vdso fixes (take #2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes various errors in the new functions added in the vDSO's, I've now verified all functions on both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs. It also fix a sign extension bug getting the initial time of day at boot that could cause the monotonic clock value to be completely on bogus for 64 bits applications (with either the vDSO or the syscall) on powermacs.

| * [PATCH] powerpc: Export htab start/end via device treeMichael Ellerman2005-11-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The userspace kexec-tools need to know the location of the htab on non-lpar machines, as well as the end of the kernel. Export via the device tree. NB. This patch has been updated to use "linux,x" property names. You may need to update your kexec-tools to match.

| * [PATCH] powerpc: Turn cpu_irq_down into kexec_cpu_downMichael Ellerman2005-11-141-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a ppc_md member called cpu_irq_down, which disables IRQs for the cpu in question. The only caller of cpu_irq_down is the kexec code. On pSeries we need to do more than just teardown IRQs at kexec time, so rename the ppc_md member to kexec_cpu_down and expand it. The pSeries code needs to know, and other platforms might too, whether we're doing a crash shutdown (ie. panicking) or a regular kexec, so add a flag for that. The pSeries implementation of kexec_cpu_down does an unregister VPA call, which tells the Hypervisor to stop writing stuff into our pacas. Without this we can get weird memory corruption bugs when we kexec, caused by the Hypervisor writing into the first kernel's pacas which happens to be somewhere interesting in the second kernel's memory.

| * [ARM] 3160/1: SharpSL: Add driver for Akita specific GPIOsRichard Purdie2005-11-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Richard Purdie Add a driver for the extra GPIOs found on the Sharp SL-C1000 (Akita). These GPIOs are found on a Maxim MAX7310 I2C i/o expander chip. A generic GPIO driver for the MAX7310 was attempted but this mini driver is a much simpler and much more effective solution avoiding several issues and complexity the generic driver had (as discussed on LKML). The platform device is required so the device parent can be set correctly which ensures the device is one of the last to suspend and first to resume. Whilst the i2c suspend/resume calls can be influenced, nothing guarantees this is easlier/later than the subsystems the gpios are used on which are all independent of i2c (sound, irda, video/backlight etc.).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | put_ioctx's refcount debugging was doing an atomic_read after dropping its reference when it wasn't the last ref, leaving a tiny race for another freeing thread to sneak into. This shifts the debugging before the ops, uses BUG_ON, and reformats the defines a little.

* | [PATCH] aio: remove kioctx from mm_structZach Brown2005-11-133-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx. Their retrying, if any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the stack. The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen. No path which grabs an iocb ref has access to sync iocbs. If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of the iocb using its on-stack reference. Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third. On a i386 testing box the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

On platforms that have thread_info allocated separately (i.e. in default case) it simply returns task->thread_info. m68k wants (and for good reasons) to embed its thread_info into task_struct. So it will (in later patch) have task_thread_info() of its own. For now we just add a macro for generic case and convert existing instances of its body in core kernel to uses of new macro. Obviously safe - all normal architectures get the same preprocessor output they used to get.

The problem is most simply explained with an example: If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in order to progress the working address to the next pgd. The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct files_struct' In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line containing this spinlock on other CPUS. So other threads doing read()/write()/... calls that use RCU to access the file table are going to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this memory line. Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields. It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86 machine.

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things like that. What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic code. The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

* | [BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detectionTejun Heo2005-11-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

| * [SCTP]: Include ulpevents in socket receive buffer accounting.Neil Horman2005-11-112-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also introduces a sysctl option to configure the receive buffer accounting policy to be either at socket or association level. Default is all the associations on the same socket share the receive buffer.

| * [SCTP]: Fix ia64 NaT consumption fault with sctp_sideffect commands.Vladislav Yasevich2005-11-111-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.
