* [PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixesAndrew Morton2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page from a clean to dirty state. This wasn't right in a couple of places. Do a kernel-wide audit, fix things up. This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from set_page_dirty() sometime in the future. But we don't do that at present.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch.

* [PATCH] x86_64: {set,clear,test}_bit() related cleanup and pci_mmcfg_init() fixAkinobu Mita2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While working on these patch set, I found several possible cleanup on x86-64 and ia64. akpm: I stole this from Andi's queue. Not only does it clean up bitops. It also unrelatedly changes the prototype of pci_mmcfg_init() and removes its arch_initcall(). It seems that the wrong two patches got joined together, but this is the one which has been tested. This patch fixes the current x86_64 build error (the pci_mmcfg_init() declaration in arch/i386/pci/pci.h disagrees with the definition in arch/x86_64/pci/mmconfig.c) This also means that x86_64's pci_mmcfg_init() gets called in the same (new) manner as x86's: from arch/i386/pci/init.c:pci_access_init(), rather than via initcall. The bitops cleanups came along for free. All this worked OK in -mm testing (since 2.6.16-rc4-mm1) because x86_64 was tested with both patches applied.

* [PATCH] PCI: PCI/Cardbus cards hidden, needs pci=assign-busses to fixBernhard Kaindl2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and cardbus bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate bus numbers to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless we are using "pci=assign-busses" boot option." -- Ivan Kokshaysky (from a patch comment) Without it, Cardbus cards inserted are never seen by PCI because the parent PCI-PCI Bridge of the Cardbus bridge will not pass and translate Type 1 PCI configuration cycles correctly and the system will fail to find and initialise the PCI devices in the system. Reference: PCI-PCI Bridges: PCI Configuration Cycles and PCI Bus Numbering: http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorella/guidelinux/tlk/node72.html The reason for this is that: ``All PCI busses located behind a PCI-PCI bridge must reside between the secondary bus number and the subordinate bus number (inclusive).'' "pci=assign-busses" makes pcibios_assign_all_busses return 1 and this turns on PCI renumbering during PCI probing. Alan suggested to use DMI automatically set assign-busses on problem systems. The only question for me was where to put it. I put it directly before scanning PCI bus into pcibios_scan_root() because it's called from legacy, acpi and numa and so it can be one place for all systems and configurations which may need it. AMD64 Laptops are also affected and fixed by assign-busses, and the code is also incuded from arch/x86_64/pci/ that place will also work for x86_64 kernels, I only ifdef'-ed the x86-only Laptop in this example. Affected and known or assumed to be fixed with it are (found by googling): * ASUS Z71V and L3s * Samsung X20 * Compaq R3140us and all Compaq R3000 series laptops with TI1620 Controller, also Compaq R4000 series (from a kernel.org bugreport) * HP zv5000z (AMD64 3700+, known that fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr fixes it) * HP zv5200z * IBM ThinkPad 240 * An IBM ThinkPad (1.8 GHz Pentium M) debugged by Pavel Machek gives the correspondig message which detects the possible problem. * MSI S260 / Medion SIM 2100 MD 95600 The patch also expands the "try pci=assign-busses" warning so testers will help us to update the DMI table.

However, it's pretty clear that the e820 entries are there for a reason. Probably they are a hack by the BIOS maintainers to keep Windows from stomping/moving that region, exactly because they want to keep the bridge where it is (or, it's actually for the BIOS itself - the BIOS tables are a horrid mess, and BIOS engineers are pretty hacky people: they'll add random entries to make their own broken algorithms do the "right thing"). > Starting from 2.6.13, kernel tries to resolve that sort of conflicts, > so that prefetch window of the bridge and the framebuffer memory behind > it get moved to 0x10000000. I think we could (and probably should) solve this another way: consider the ACPI "reserved regions" from the e820 map exactly the same way that we do other ACPI hints - they should restrict _new_ allocations, but not impact stuff we figure out on our own. Basically, right now we assign _unassigned_ resources at "fs_initcall" time. If we were to add in the e820 "reserved region" stuff before that (but after we've done PCI discovery), we'd probably do the right thing. Right now we do the e820 reserved regions very early indeed: we call "register_memory()" from setup_arch(). We could move at least part of it (the part that registers the resources) down a bit. Here's a test-patch. I'm not saying we should absolutely do this, but it might be interesting to try... Cc: "Antonino A.

* [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversionsAndrew Morton2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed.

* [PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | callbacks Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences. Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in- kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory inside their handlers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init, and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK, booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch, as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope someone else can justify the intrusive changes. arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk(). setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover the bug I was fighting with. early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen, otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you can't read them.

They were causing compile errors in certain configuration (without ACPI defined). I think this approach would be best (as opposed to Kconfig changes) since it only touches the subarch...

* [PATCH] x86: SMP alternativesGerd Hoffmann2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Print stack backtraces in multiple columns, saving screen space. Number of columns is configurable and defaults to one so behavior is backwards-compatible. Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more that one entry per line so they print as: <address> instead of: [<address>] This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.
