| * [IA64] fix personality(PER_LINUX32) performance issueHuang, Xiaolan2008-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall personality(PER_LINUX32). On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c). To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

| * [IA64] Properly unregister legacy interruptsPrarit Bhargava2008-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | acpi_unregister_gsi() should "undo" what acpi_register_gsi() does. On systems that have legacy interrupts, acpi_unregister_gsi erroneously calls iosapci_unregister_intr() which is wrong to do and causes a loud warning. acpi_unregister_gsi() should just return in these cases.

| * [IA64] Don't reserve crashkernel memory > 4 GBBernhard Walle2008-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some IA64 machines map all cell-local memory above 4 GB (32 bit limit). However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved above 4 GB. For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case, it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable for kdump. A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible because of changeset 51b58e3e26ebfb8cd56825c4b396ed251f51dec9: On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option. The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters. This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been shutdown properly and DMA stopped. This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling them about 'machvec=dig'. This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle this case are "sn2" and "uv".

There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious. The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See compat_sys_mount() and do_mount(). The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX. We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096. Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having to muck with the build and set DEBUG just to get lmb_dump_all() to print things isn't very useful. So use pr_info() and use an early boot param "lmb=debug" so we can simply ask users to reboot with this option when we need some debugging from them. Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating, if we will align up the size when making the reservation, we should also align the size for the check that the space is actually available. The simplest thing is to just aling the size up from the beginning, then we can use plain 'size' throughout. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just like mmap, we need to validate address ranges regardless of MAP_FIXED. sparc{,64}_mmap_check()'s flag argument is unused, remove.
