* jbd: test BH_Write_EIO to detect errors on metadata buffersHidehiro Kawai2008-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __try_to_free_cp_buf(), __process_buffer(), and __wait_cp_io() test BH_Uptodate flag to detect write I/O errors on metadata buffers. But by commit 95450f5a7e53d5752ce1a0d0b8282e10fe745ae0 "ext3: don't read inode block if the buffer has a write error"(*), BH_Uptodate flag can be set to inode buffers with BH_Write_EIO in order to avoid reading old inode data. So now, we have to test BH_Write_EIO flag of checkpointing inode buffers instead of BH_Uptodate. This patch does it.

* ext3: add checks for errors from jbdHidehiro Kawai2008-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we have to keep the contents of the journal space. Otherwise, the filesystem will lose uncheckpointed metadata completely and become inconsistent. To avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery flag if checkpoint has failed. With this patch, ext3_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure from the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes ext3_abort() to make the filesystem read only and keep needs_recovery flag. Errors from journal_flush() are also handled by this patch in some places.

* jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai2008-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both the journal and filesystem. This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we need to do: 1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or overwritten by a later transaction 2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal 3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety, don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either 4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase 5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag 6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space() Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| * powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernelMohan Kumar M2008-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234) is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels. The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter. CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and kdump kernel. This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

| * hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizingHendrik Brueckner2008-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console. The function stores the new window size and schedules a function that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to user space (SIGWINCH). Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep, the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll() or khvcd. This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer. A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

| * hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0Hendrik Brueckner2008-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios: 1. hvc_console_print() If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever. I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages. 2. khvcd may loop: The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately). However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()). The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

It turns out that this causes unnecessary extra reboots on old 32-bit CHRP machines. This therefore adds a -r flag to addnote to allow us to specify what real-base value it should put in the CHRP note, and adjusts the wrapper script to pass -r c00000 to addnote when making a zImage for a CHRP machine. Also, CHRP machines ignore the RPA note, so we don't need to arrange for it to be the same as the kernel's.

This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data. Data is added to the buffers from in interrupt context. The data is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the mutex lock. The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers. Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by incrementing the per CPU buffer stats. This eliminates the need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool maintainer. The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it is no longer needed given this patch. Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays by the spu number. This still needs to be fixed as the spu numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

| * | | powerpc/boot: Compare _start against ei.loadsize instead ei.memsizeSebastian Siewior2008-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the vmlinux binary in memory is larger than 4 MiB than it collides with the initial boot code which is linked at 4 MiB in case of cuBoot. If the the uncompressed image size (on disk size) is less than 4 MiB then it would fit. The difference between those two sizes is the bss section. In cuBoot we have the dtb embedded right after the data section so it is very likely that the reset of the bss section (in kernel's start up code) will overwrite the dtb blob. Therefore we reallocate the dtb. Something similar is allready done to the initrd.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Read & write functions now call a generic transfer function, so identical code in both routines could be eliminated.

This broke 'allmodconfig' builds as CONFIG_PPC_DCR_NATIVE is not set for those. This patch fixes these errors by wrapping the code in the appropriate #ifdefs.
