* [PATCH] asus vt8235 router buggy bios workaroundaleksey_gorelov@phoenix.com2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hopefully fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5235 Similar problem has been reported before here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/def4ca19dbc3cd4/5cffbf349f2c87a4?tvc=2&q=Aleksey+Gorelov&hl=en#5cffbf349f2c87a4 and was related to bug in BIOS reporting 82C686 router compatible to 586. I suspect BIOS on this board has similar issue: reports VT8235 router to be compatible with 586 one - which is obviously not true. Patch from the link above has already incorporated in both 2.6 & 2.4 series, but might not work in this particular case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Make P6 MCA initialization code complaint with guidelines in IA-32 SDM Vol3. Bank 0 control register should not be set by OS and clear status registers on all banks on reset.

* [PATCH] i386 and x86_64 TSC set_cyc2ns_scale imprecisionMathieu Desnoyers2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with nearly nanosecond accuracy. Fix the x86_64 architecture too.

* [PATCH] SELinux: canonicalize getxattr()James Morris2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after the fs level getxattr() function. The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem. In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk. The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call, so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with the kernel value. We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems (i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the kernel value to the user.

| * [libata] change ata_qc_complete() to take error mask as second argJeff Garzik2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion function, and indicate an error. On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter is often implicit in the former. On more modern hardware, the driver often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an indication that something went wrong. Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a mask of possible error classes. This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

* | [PATCH] Remove policy contextualization from mbindChristoph Lameter2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for vma based policies. It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these nodes. Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an application to fail with out of memory. Example: Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and a huge array computational array X. Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3. Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2. The cpuset limits this to node 0. Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now. Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a page. According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be allocated on page 0. However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on 0 and 1. Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory.

Strictly speaking, the architectures not doing memory hotplug do no need this locking in show_mem(). However, they are all included for completeness. This should also make any future consolidation of all of the implementations a little more straightforward. This lock is also held in the sparsemem code during a memory removal, as sections are invalidated. This is the place there pfn_valid() is made false for a memory area that's being removed. The lock is only required when doing pfn_valid() operations on memory which the user does not already have a reference on the page, such as in show_mem().

* | [PATCH] .text page fault SMP scalability optimizationAndrea Arcangeli2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a problem on ppc64 where with more than 4 threads a large system wouldn't scale well while faulting in the .text (most of the time was spent in the kernel despite it was an userland compute intensive app). The reason is the useless overwrite of the same pte from all cpu. I fixed it this way (verified on an older kernel but the forward port is almost identical). This will benefit all archs not just ppc64.

* | [PATCH] hugetlb: overcommit accounting checkAdam Litke2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basic overcommit checking for hugetlb_file_map() based on an implementation used with demand faulting in SLES9. Since demand faulting can't guarantee the availability of pages at mmap time, this patch implements a basic sanity check to ensure that the number of huge pages required to satisfy the mmap are currently available. Despite the obvious race, I think it is a good start on doing proper accounting. I'd like to work towards an accounting system that mimics the semantics of normal pages (especially for the MAP_PRIVATE/COW case). That work is underway and builds on what this patch starts. Huge page shared memory segments are simpler and still maintain their commit on shmget semantics.

* | [PATCH] hugetlb: demand fault handlerAdam Litke2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Below is a patch to implement demand faulting for huge pages. The main motivation for changing from prefaulting to demand faulting is so that huge page memory areas can be allocated according to NUMA policy. Thanks to consolidated hugetlb code, switching the behavior requires changing only one fault handler. The bulk of the patch just moves the logic from hugelb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault() and find_get_huge_page().
