* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* Introduce CONFIG_HAS_DMAHeiko Carstens2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Architectures that don't support DMA can say so by adding a config NO_DMA to their Kconfig file. This will prevent compilation of some dma specific driver code. Also dma-mapping-broken.h isn't needed anymore on at least s390. This avoids compilation and linking of otherwise dead/broken code. Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300, m68k, m68knommu and v850. If these could be converted as well we could get rid of the header file.

* MPSC serial driver tx lockingDave Jiang2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPSC serial driver assumes that interrupt is always on to pick up the DMA transmit ops that aren't submitted while the DMA engine is active. However when irqs are off for a period of time such as operations under kernel crash dump console messages do not show up due to additional DMA ops are being dropped. This makes console writes to process through all the tx DMAs queued up before submitting a new request. Also, the current locking mechanism does not protect the hardware registers and ring buffer when a printk is done during the serial write operations. The additional per port transmit lock provides a finer granular locking and protects registers being clobbered while printks are nested within UART writes.

* serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_coreDavid Gibson2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change these settings. Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with setserial are ignored. In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

* serial driver PMC MSP71xxMarc St-Jean2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices. There are three different fixes: 1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard 16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled if a character is actually sent out. It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch. 2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and rewrites it after clearing the interrupt. 3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously queued write transaction has also completed.

* add new_id to PCMCIA driversBernhard Walle2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PCI drivers have the new_id file in sysfs which allows new IDs to be added at runtime. The advantage is to avoid re-compilation of a driver that works for a new device, but it's ID table doesn't contain the new device. This mechanism is only meant for testing, after the driver has been tested successfully, the ID should be added in source code so that new revisions of the kernel automatically detect the device. The implementation follows the PCI implementation. The interface is documented in Documentation/pcmcia/driver.txt. Computations should be done in userspace, so the sysfs string contains the raw structure members for matching.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When emulating an mmio read, we actually emulate twice: once to determine the physical address of the mmio, and, after we've exited to userspace to get the mmio value, we emulate again to place the value in the result register and update any flags. But we don't really need to enter the guest again for that, only to take an immediate vmexit. So, if we detect that we're doing an mmio read, emulate a single instruction before entering the guest again. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually, guest page faults are detected by the kvm page fault handler, which detects if they are shadow faults, mmio faults, pagetable faults, or normal guest page faults. However, in ceratin circumstances, we can detect a page fault much later. One of these events is the following combination: - A two memory operand instruction (e.g. movsb) is executed. - The first operand is in mmio space (which is the fault reported to kvm) - The second operand is in an ummaped address (e.g. a guest page fault) The Windows 2000 installer does such an access, an promptly hangs. Fix by adding the missing page fault injection on that path. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

This is useful for the vga window at 0xa0000 which is used as a movable window into the (much larger) framebuffer. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: Simply gfn_to_page()Avi Kivity2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mapping a guest page to a host page is a common operation. Currently, one has first to find the memory slot where the page belongs (gfn_to_memslot), then locate the page itself (gfn_to_page()). This is clumsy, and also won't work well with memory aliases. So simplify gfn_to_page() not to require memory slot translation first, and instead do it internally. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: Add mmu cache clear functionDor Laor2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Functions that play around with the physical memory map need a way to clear mappings to possibly nonexistent or invalid memory. Both the mmu cache and the processor tlb are cleared. Signed-off-by: Dor Laor <dor.laor@qumranet.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: x86 emulator: fix bit string operations operand sizeAvi Kivity2007-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On x86, bit operations operate on a string of bits that can reside in multiple words. For example, 'btsl %eax, (blah)' will touch the word at blah+4 if %eax is between 32 and 63. The x86 emulator compensates for that by advancing the operand address by (bit offset / BITS_PER_LONG) and truncating the bit offset to the range (0..BITS_PER_LONG-1). This has a side effect of forcing the operand size to 8 bytes on 64-bit hosts. Now, a 32-bit guest goes and fork()s a process. It write protects a stack page at 0xbffff000 using the 'btr' instruction, at offset 0xffc in the page table, with bit offset 1 (for the write permission bit). The emulator now forces the operand size to 8 bytes as previously described, and an innocent page table update turns into a cross-page-boundary write, which is assumed by the mmu code not to be a page table, so it doesn't actually clear the corresponding shadow page table entry. The guest and host permissions are out of sync and guest memory is corrupted soon afterwards, leading to guest failure. Fix by not using BITS_PER_LONG as the word size; instead use the actual operand size, so we get a 32-bit write in that case. Note we still have to teach the mmu to handle cross-page-boundary writes to guest page table; but for now this allows Damn Small Linux 0.4 (2.4.20) to boot.
