Fix the HP SCSI disk simulator to understand scatterlists for more commands. Without this patch the current kernel will not boot on the simulator (the disks are always detected as having no sectors, and so cannot be mounted).

* | [PATCH] error path in setup_arg_pages() misses vm_unacct_memory()Hugh Dickins2005-09-14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants). These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't. So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into Committed_AS each time they're run. But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them, it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved. The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set. And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking. Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory: give it a less misleading name later on.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we use 64bit kernel on ia64/x86_64/s390 architecture, and we run 32bit binary on 32bit compatibility mode, sendfile system call seems be not set offset argument. This is because sendfile's return value is not zero but the code regards the result by return value is zero or not.

The problem is that the number of bits for the virtual linear array short-format VHPT (Virtually mapped linear page table, VMLPT for short) is being tested incorrectly. There are two problems: 1. The PAL call that should tell the kernel the size of the virtual address space isn't implemented for the simulator, so the kernel uses the default 50. This is addressed separately in dc90e95f310f4f821c905b2aec8e9449bb3270fa 2. In arch/ia64/mm/init.c there's code to calcualte the size of the VMLPT based on the number of implemented virtual address bits and the page size. It checks to see if the VMLPT base address overlaps the top of the mapped region, but this check doesn't allow for the address space hole, and in fact will never trigger. Here's an alternative test and panic, that I think is more accurate. Signed-off-by: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

All build scripts expecting include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke. With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare The dependency chain looks like this now: prepare | +--> prepare0 | +--> archprepare | +--> scripts_basic +--> prepare1 | +---> prepare2 | +--> prepare3 So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc. This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic are all updated before archprepare is processed. prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the actions performed by archprepare. The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility. Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

* | [PATCH] spinlock consolidationIngo Molnar2005-09-10

It does the following things: - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code. - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti. Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code, located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds) Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too. All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard spin/rwlock lockups. The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now lives in the generic headers: include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16 I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files, making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is: SMP | UP ----------------------------|----------------------------------- asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h /* * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files: * * on SMP builds: * * asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the * initializers * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel * implementations, mostly inline assembly code * * (also included on UP-debug builds:) * * linux/spinlock_api_smp.h: * contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs. * * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs. * * on UP builds: * * linux/spinlock_type_up.h: * contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type. * (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds) * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * linux/spinlock_up.h: * contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP * builds.

From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU). Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary. I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT expect any new issues to arise with them. If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW (load and clear word).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've already sent this to the maintainers, and this is now being sent to a larger community audience. I have fixed a problem with the ia64 version of build_sched_domains(), but a similar fix still needs to be made to the generic build_sched_domains() in kernel/sched.c. The "dynamic sched domains" functionality has recently been merged into 2.6.13-rcN that sees the dynamic declaration of a cpu-exclusive (a.k.a. "isolated") cpuset and rebuilds the CPU Scheduler sched domains and sched groups to separate away the CPUs in this cpu-exclusive cpuset from the remainder of the non-isolated CPUs. This allows the non-isolated CPUs to completely ignore the isolated CPUs when doing load-balancing. Unfortunately, build_sched_domains() expects that a sched domain will include all the CPUs of each node in the domain, i.e., that no node will belong in both an isolated cpuset and a non-isolated cpuset. Declaring a cpuset that violates this presumption will produce flawed data structures and will oops the kernel. To trigger the problem (on a NUMA system with >1 CPUs per node): cd /dev/cpuset mkdir newcpuset cd newcpuset echo 0 >cpus echo 0 >mems echo 1 >cpu_exclusive I have fixed this shortcoming for ia64 NUMA (with multiple CPUs per node). A similar shortcoming exists in the generic build_sched_domains() (in kernel/sched.c) for NUMA, and that needs to be fixed also. The fix involves dynamically allocating sched_group_nodes[] and sched_group_allnodes[] for each invocation of build_sched_domains(), rather than using global arrays for these structures. Care must be taken to remember kmalloc() addresses so that arch_destroy_sched_domains() can properly kfree() the new dynamic structures.

| | * | [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinityAshok Raj2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts. CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well. Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing. - Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for lack of a generic name. - added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64 - Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq handling time. - Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set. - Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating when using generic irq framework. Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off. Tested UP builds as well. MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.
