* [PATCH] CPU hotplug printk fixShaohua Li2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | In the cpu hotplug case, per-cpu data possibly isn't initialized even the system state is 'running'. As the comments say in the original code, some console drivers assume per-cpu resources have been allocated. radeon fb is one such driver, which uses kmalloc. After a CPU is down, the per-cpu data of slab is freed, so the system crashed when printing some info. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] swsusp: clean assembly partsPavel Machek2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes register saving so that each register is only saved once, and adds missing saving of %cr8 on x86-64. Some reordering so that save/restore is more logical/safer (segment registers should be restored after gdt).

* [PATCH] swsusp: fix nr_copy_pagesPavel Machek2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch moves the recalculation of nr_copy_pages so that the right number is used in the calculation of the size of memory and swap needed. It prevents swsusp from attempting to suspend if there is not enough memory and/or swap (which is unlikely anyway). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Provide ability to choose using shortcuts for IPI in flat mode.Ashok Raj2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides an option to switch broadcast or use mask version for sending IPI's. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined, we choose not to use broadcast shortcuts by default, otherwise we choose broadcast mode as default. both cases, one can change this via startup cmd line option, to choose no-broadcast mode. no_ipi_broadcast=1 This is provided on request from Andi Kleen, since he doesnt agree with replacing IPI shortcuts as a solution for CPU hotplug. Without removing broadcast IPI's, it would mean lots of new code for __cpu_up() path, which would acheive the same results.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Dont use broadcast shortcut to make it cpu hotplug safe.Ashok Raj2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour. This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64 systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the API's. The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just not use broadcast anymore.

Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from Andi Kleen. Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and __devinitdata. If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit, and __cpudevinit.

* [PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.Ashok Raj2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast. When we enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill effects on a offline cpu. If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled, which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects. Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be switched at cmdline if necessary.

* [PATCH] i386 CPU hotplugZwane Mwaikambo2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing) The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390 and ppc64 to account for this change. 1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU 2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus. 3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down. 4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus. 5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus. 6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online. 7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside. 8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others(). 9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down. 10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die(). 11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs() 12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus. 13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

* [PATCH] selinux: add executable heap checkLorenzo Hernández García-Hierro2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch,based on sample code by Roland McGrath, adds an execheap permission check that controls the ability to make the heap executable so that this can be prevented in almost all cases (the X server is presently an exception, but this will hopefully be resolved in the future) so that even programs with execmem permission will need to have the anonymous memory mapped in order to make it executable. The only reason that we use a permission check for such restriction (vs. making it unconditional) is that the X module loader presently needs it; it could possibly be made unconditional in the future when X is changed.

* [PATCH] selinux: add executable stack checkLorenzo Hernandez García-Hierro2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an execstack permission check that controls the ability to make the main process stack executable so that attempts to make the stack executable can still be prevented even if the process is allowed the existing execmem permission in order to e.g. perform runtime code generation. Note that this does not yet address thread stacks. Note also that unlike the execmem check, the execstack check is only applied on mprotect calls, not mmap calls, as the current security_file_mmap hook is not passed the necessary information presently. The original author of the code that makes the distinction of the stack region, is Ingo Molnar, who wrote it within his patch for /proc/<pid>/maps markers. (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110719881508591&w=2) The patches also can be found at: http://pearls.tuxedo-es.org/patches/selinux/policy-execstack.patch http://pearls.tuxedo-es.org/patches/selinux/kernel-execstack.patch policy-execstack.patch is the patch that needs to be applied to the policy in order to support the execstack permission and exclude it from general_domain_access within macros/core_macros.te. kernel-execstack.patch adds such permission to the SELinux code within the kernel and adds the proper permission check to the selinux_file_mprotect() hook.

* [PATCH] I8K: use standard DMI interfaceDmitry Torokhov2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
