* [PATCH] ppc64: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep_interruptible()Nishanth Aravamudan2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use msleep_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout() in ppc64-specific code to cleanup/simplify the sleeping logic. Change the units of the parameter of do_event_scan_all_cpus() to milliseconds from jiffies. The return value of rtas_extended_busy_delay_time() was incorrectly being used as a jiffies value (it is actually milliseconds), which is fixed by using the value as a parameter to msleep_interruptible(). Also, use rtas_extended_busy_delay_time() in another case where similar logic is duplicated.

* [PATCH] ppc64: Add VMX save flag to VPAOlof Johansson2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to indicate to the hypervisor that it needs to save our VMX registers when switching partitions on a shared-processor system, just as it needs to for FP and PMC registers. This could be made to be on-demand when VMX is used, but we don't do that for FP nor PMC right now either so let's not overcomplicate things.

* [PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog TimerKumar Gala2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies that can be configured by software. One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may attempt to reset the machine. Command line parameters: wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default) wdt=1 : enable watchdog wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period. The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check User Manual for the processor for more details. This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

* [PATCH] remove hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() and fix huge_pte_alloc()Chen, Kenneth W2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables(). It now collect all the pte page at the time of munmap. It used to only collect page table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte pages. Not anymore with 2.6.13. This function will never be called and We should turn it into a BUG_ON. I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-) (1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not checked before calling pmd_alloc() (2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to pmd_free_tlb. I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a pte page. However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never called, so it won't trigger the bug.

* [PATCH] hugetlb: move stale pte check into huge_pte_alloc()Adam Litke2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initial Post (Wed, 17 Aug 2005) This patch moves the if (! pte_none(*pte)) hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(pte); logic into huge_pte_alloc() so all of its callers can be immune to the bug described by Kenneth Chen at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/16/246 > It turns out there is a bug in hugetlb_prefault(): with 3 level page table, > huge_pte_alloc() might return a pmd that points to a PTE page. It happens > if the virtual address for hugetlb mmap is recycled from previously used > normal page mmap. free_pgtables() might not scrub the pmd entry on > munmap and hugetlb_prefault skips on any pmd presence regardless what type > it is. Unless I am missing something, it seems more correct to place the check inside huge_pte_alloc() to prevent a the same bug wherever a huge pte is allocated. It also allows checking for this condition when lazily faulting huge pages later in the series.
