* x86: Simplify bound checks in the MTRR codeArjan van de Ven2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current bound checks for copy_from_user in the MTRR driver are not as obvious as they could be, and gcc agrees with that. This patch simplifies the boundary checks to the point that gcc can now prove to itself that the copy_from_user() is never going past its bounds.

* proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

* proc: remove proc_root from driversAlexey Dobriyan2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way. So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

* x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrsJesse Barnes2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time). This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code) goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug. Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the boot_cpu_data structure being setup. This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

* x86: mtrr use type bool [RESEND AGAIN]Paul Jimenez2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a janitorish patch to 1) remove private TRUE/FALSE #def's in favor of using the standard enum from linux/stddef.h and 2) switch the variables holding those values to type 'bool' (from linux/types.h) since it both seems more appropriate and allows for potentially better optimization. As a truly minor aside, I removed a couple of comments documenting a 'do_safe' parameter that seems to no longer exist.
