* [PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.hJon Smirl2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be included by tty.h. This patches removes the include and modifies all users to directly include screen_info.h. struct screen_info is mainly used to communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console. Note that this patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it. If there is a mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

| * | | | [PATCH] i386: export memory more than 4G through /proc/iomemVivek Goyal2006-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device memory. But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB. This leads to problems for kexec/kdump. Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced. Given the fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to see and use that memory. Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers. After a crash new kernel parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared accordingly. As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it. Hence vmcore is truncated and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system. This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

I'd still expect MSI-X to work now. irqchip migration helper: call __do_IRQ() if a descriptor is attached to an irqtype-style controller. This also fixes MSI-X IRQ handling on i386 and x86_64.

* | | | [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

Its handy for the Soekris.com net-4801, which has both chips. These patches have been seen recently on Kernel-Mentors, and then Kernel-Newbies ML, where Jesper Juhl kindly reviewed it. His feedback has been incorporated. Thanks Jesper ! Its also gone to soekris-tech@soekris.com for possible testing by linux folks, I've gotten 1 promise so far. Theyre mostly BSD folk over there, but we'll see.. Device-file & Sysfs The driver preserves the existing device-file interface, including the write/cmd set, but adds v to 'view' the pin-settings & configs by inducing, via gpio_dump(), a dev_info() call. Its a fairly crappy way to get status, but it sticks to the syslog approach, conservatively. Allowing users to voluntarily trigger logging is good, it gives them a familiar way to confirm their app's control & use of the pins, and I've thus reduced the pin-mode-updates from dev_info to dev_dbg. I've recently bolted on a proto sysfs interface for both new drivers. Im not including those patches here; they (the patch + doc-pre-patch) are still quite raw (and unreviewed on KNML), and since they 'invent' a convention for GPIO, a proper vetting is needed. Since this patchset is much bigger than my previous ones, Id like to keep things simpler, and address it 1st, before bolting on more stuff. The driver-split The Geode CPU and the PC-87366 Super-IO chip have GPIO units which share a common pin-architecture (same pin features, with same bits controlling), but with different addressing mechanics and port organizations. The vintage driver expresses the pin capabilities with pin-mode commands [OoPpTt],etc that change the pin configurations, and since the 2 chips share pin-arch, we can reuse the read(), write() commands, once the implementation is suitably adjusted. The patchset adds a vtable: struct nsc_gpio_ops, to abstract the existing gpio operations, then adjusts fileops.write() code to invoke operations via that vtable. Driver specific open()s set private_data to the vtable so its available for use by write(). The vtable gets the gpio_dump() too, since its user-friendly, and (could be construed as) part of the current device-file interface. To support use of dev_dbg() in write() & _dump(), the vtable gets a dev ptr too, set by both scx200 & pc8736x _gpio drivers. heres how the pins are presented in syslog: [ 1890.176223] scx200_gpio.0: io00: 0x0044 TS OD PUE EDGE LO DEBOUNCE [ 1890.287223] scx200_gpio.0: io01: 0x0003 OE PP PUD EDGE LO nsc_gpio.c: new file is new home of several file-ops methods, which are modified to get their vtable from filp->private_data, and use it where needed. scx200_gpio.c: keeps some of its existing gpio routines, but now wires them up via the vtable (they're invoked by nsc_gpio.c:nsc_gpio_write() thru this vtable). A driver-spcific open() initializes filp->private_data with the vtable. Once the split is clean, and the scx200_gpio driver is working, we copy and modify the function and variable names, and rework the access-method bodies for the different addressing scheme.

* | | | [PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vmaIngo Molnar2006-06-27

Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

In this scenario, if signal is pending because of vm86 interrupt, do_notify_resume/do_signal exits immediately due to user_mode() check, without processing any signals. Thus, resume_userspace handler is spinning in a tight loop with signal pending and TIF_SIGPENDING is set. Previously everything worked Ok. No in-tree usage of vm86() from kernel space exists, but I've heard about a number of projects out there which use vm86 calls from kernel, one of them being this, for instance: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ The following patch fixes the issue.
