* [SPARC]: Re-export saved_command_line to modules.David S. Miller2007-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line changes made on sparc32 and sparc64. Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference saved_command_line, and can be modular. The boot_command_line is __initdata, yet the dynamic command-line changes add modular exports of that symbol, obviously wrong. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven2007-02-122-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [PATCH] signal: use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility codeEric W. Biederman2007-02-121-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am slowly moving to a model where all process killing is struct pid based instead of pid_t based. The sunos compatibility code is one of the last users of the old pid_t based kill_pg in the kernel. By being complete I allow for the future removal of kill_pg from the kernel, which will ensure I don't miss something. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

MSIs are assosciated with MSI Queues. MSI Queues generate interrupts when any MSI assosciated with it is signalled. This suggests a two-tiered IRQ dispatch scheme: MSI Queue interrupt --> queue interrupt handler MSI dispatch --> driver interrupt handler But we just get one-level under Linux currently. What I'd like to do is possibly stick the IRQ actions into a per-MSI-Queue data structure, and dispatch them form there, but the generic IRQ layer doesn't provide a way to do that right now. So, the current kludge is to "ACK" the interrupt by processing the MSI Queue data structures and ACK'ing them, then we run the actual handler like normal. We are wasting a lot of useful information, for example the MSI data and address are provided with ever MSI, as well as a system tick if available. If we could pass this into the IRQ handler it could help with certain things, in particular for PCI-Express error messages. The MSI entries on sparc64 also tell you exactly which bus/device/fn sent the MSI, which would be great for error handling when no registered IRQ handler can service the interrupt. We override the disable/enable IRQ chip methods in sun4v_msi, so we have to call {mask,unmask}_msi_irq() directly from there. This is another ugly wart. Signed-off-by: David S.

* | [PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfoKyle McMartin2007-02-112-65/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested. This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

* | [PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt2007-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too. Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case there are plans to use them yet.

* | [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMAChristoph Lameter2007-02-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA channel management. Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to provide memory below 16M. So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA. Undo the modifications to mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig. Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be switched off. It can only be switched off if we know that all devices supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and IA64/Altix). In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that call. In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

* [SPARC64]: Set g4/g5 properly in sun4v dtlb-prot handling.David S. Miller2007-01-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mirror the logic in the sun4u handler, we have to update both registers even when we branch out to window fault fixup handling. The way it works is that if we are in etrap processing a fault already, g4/g5 holds the original fault information. If we take a window spill fault while doing etrap, then we put the window spill fault info into g4/g5 and this is what the top-level fault handler ends up processing first. Then we retry the originally faulting instruction, and process the original fault at that time. This is all necessary because of how constrained the trap registers are in these code paths. These cases trigger very rarely, so even if there is some performance implication it's doesn't happen very often. In fact the rarity is why it took so long to trigger and find this particular bug.

* [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinitGautham R Shenoy2007-01-111-1/+1

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration, we get a .text refering .init.data warning. This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or are of __init type. Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would land up in .init section.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - relbranch_fixup(), for non-branches, would end up setting regs->tnpc incorrectly, in fact it would set it equal to regs->tpc which would cause that instruction to execute twice Also, if this is not a PC-relative branch, we should just leave regs->tnpc as-is. This covers cases like 'jmpl' which branch to absolute values. - To be absolutely %100 safe, we need to flush the instruction cache for all assignments to kprobe->ainsn.insn[], including cases like add_aggr_kprobe() - prev_kprobe's status field needs to be 'unsigned long' to match the type of the value it is saving - jprobes were totally broken: = jprobe_return() can run in the stack frame of the jprobe handler, or in an even deeper stack frame, thus we'll be in the wrong register window than the one from the original probe state. So unwind using 'restore' instructions, if necessary, right before we do the jprobe_return() breakpoint trap. = There is no reason to save/restore the register window saved at %sp at jprobe trigger time. Those registers cannot be modified by the jprobe handler. Also, this code was saving and restoring "sizeof (struct sparc_stackf)" bytes. Depending upon the caller, this could clobber unrelated stack frame pieces if there is only a basic 128-byte register window stored on the stack, without the argument save area. So just saving and restoring struct pt_regs is sufficient. = Kill the "jprobe_saved_esp", totally unused. Also, delete "jprobe_saved_regs_location", with the stack frame unwind now done explicitly by jprobe_return(), this check is superfluous. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported from their object files. Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't define it otherwise linker will fail. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W2006-12-071-0/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

* PCI: Use pci_generic_prep_mwi on sparc64Matthew Wilcox2006-12-011-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The setting of the CACHE_LINE_SIZE register in sparc64's pci initialisation code isn't quite adequate as the device may have incompatible requirements. The generic code tests for this, so switch sparc64 over to using it. Since sparc64 has different L1 cache line size and PCI cache line size, it would need to override the generic code like i386 and ia64 do. We know what the cache line size is at compile time though, so introduce a new optional constant PCI_CACHE_LINE_BYTES.

* [SPARC]: Fix robust futex syscalls and wire up migrate_pages.David S. Miller2006-11-052-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS. The current situation is error-prone because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit checks are enforced. Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to make this mistake much more difficult to make. And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the compat wrapper for us.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in schizo_irq_trans_init() should set irq_data->sync_reg to the location of the SYNC register if this is Tomatillo, and set it to zero otherwise. But that is not what it is doing. As a result, non-Tomatillo systems were trying to access a non-existent register resulting in bus errors at the first PCI interrupt.
