* [PATCH] Vectorize aio_read/aio_write fileop methodsBadari Pulavarty2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch vectorizes aio_read() and aio_write() methods to prepare for collapsing all aio & vectored operations into one interface - which is aio_read()/aio_write().

* [PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

* [PATCH] hot-add-mem x86_64: memory_add_physaddr_to_nid node fixupKeith Mannthey2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In cases where the acpi memory-add event does not containe the pxm (node) infomation allow the driver to look up node info based on the address. The acpi_get_node call returns -1 if it can't decode the pxm info, this causes add_memory to panic. acpi_get_node would have to decode the resource from the handle (a lenghty proposition). This seems to be the cleanist point to interject the hook.

So let's trying reenabling it again.] o Currently bss segment is being placed somewhere in the middle (after .data) section and after bss lots of init section and data sections are coming. Is it intentional? o One side affect of placing bss in the middle is that objcopy keeps the bss in raw binary image (vmlinux.bin) hence unnecessarily increasing the size of raw binary image. (In my case ~600K). It also increases the size of generated bzImage, though the increase is very small (896 bytes), probably a very high compression ratio for stream of zeros. o This patch moves the bss at the end hence reducing the size of bzImage by 896 bytes and size of vmlinux.bin by 600K. o This change benefits in the context of relocatable kernel patches. If kernel bss is not part of compressed data (vmlinux.bin) then it does not have to be decompressed and this area can be used by the decompressor for its execution hence keeping the memory requirements bounded and decompressor code does not stomp over any other data loaded beyond kernel image (As might be the case with bootloaders like kexec).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change.

Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

* [PATCH] uml: mechanical tidying after random MACs changeJeff Dike2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC, either from the command line or generated randomly: the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional setup_etheraddr can now be made void struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1 struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so it is always 1 tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h. Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file. Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward declarations.

* [PATCH] uml: assign random MACs to interfaces if necessaryJeff Dike2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned. However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0. Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536 and use 16 bits of each random() return. There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

* [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node callskeith mannthey2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid) { return logical_apicid >> 5; } is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa. The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use this information to create a table for use at run time.
