* [PATCH] tpm: Support for Infineon TPMMarcel Selhorst2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a new device driver for the Infineon SLD 9630 TT Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.1b) [1] which is embedded on Intel- mainboards or in HP/ Fujitsu-Siemens / Toshiba-Notebooks. A nearly complete list where this module is integrated in can be found in [2]. This kernel module acts as a communication gateway between the linux kernel and the hardware chip and fits the TPM-specific interfaces created by IBM in drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h Further information about this module and a list of succesfully tested and therefore supported hardware can be found at our project page [3].

* [PATCH] stale POSIX lock handlingPeter Staubach2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which the attached patch should address. The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly. SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the process which closed the file descriptor, should be released. The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress are handled when the last reference to the open file is released. There are three cases to consider. One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is being released. The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor. The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done, will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor. The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist until both processes have released their references to the open file. This lock could block other lock requests. The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as there was a reference to the open file. This is too long. The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic specification. This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

* [PATCH] s390: fba dasd i/o errorsHorst Hummel2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | The FBA discipline does not use retries for failed requests. A request fails after the first unsuccessful start attempt. There are some rare conditions (e.g. CIO path recovery) in which the start of an i/o on a fba device can fail. A tiny amount of retries is therefore reasonable.

* [PATCH] s390: external call performanceHeiko Carstens2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

* [PATCH] s390: find_next_{zero}_bit fixesMartin Schwidefsky2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The find_next_{zero}_bit primitives on s390* should never return a bit number bigger then the bit field size. In the case of a bitfield that doesn't end on a word boundary, an offset that makes the search start at the last word of the bit field and the last word doesn't contain any zero/one bits the search is continued with a call to find_first_bit with a negative size. The search normally ends pretty quickly because the words following the bit field contain a mix of zeros and ones. But the bit number that is returned in this case is too big. To fix this and additional if to check for this case is needed. To make the code easier to read I removed the assembler parts from the find_next_{zero}_bit functions, the C-ified code is as good.

* [PATCH] s390: spin lock retryMartin Schwidefsky2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of retries before a cpu is yielded. The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is 1000.

* [PATCH] ppc64: remove another fixed address constraintDavid Gibson2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S. This patch changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without fixed address. This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in question. Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure (hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the result is cleaner than before.

* [PATCH] ppc64: dynamically allocate segment tablesDavid Gibson2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each CPU. Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for all CPUs. The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the secondary CPUs to be statically allocated. This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces the kernel image size by 192k... Tested on RS64 iSeries, POWER3 pSeries, and POWER5.
