* [PATCH] vesafb: Add blanking supportAntonino A. Daplas2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | Add rudimentary support by manipulating the VGA registers. However, not all vesa modes are VGA compatible, so VGA compatiblity is checked first. Only 2 levels are supported, powerup and powerdown. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] files: files struct with RCUDipankar Sarma2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch to eliminate struct files_struct.file_lock spinlock on the reader side and use rcu refcounting rcuref_xxx api for the f_count refcounter. The updates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and setting files->fdt to point to the new structure. The fdtable structure is protected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that are vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can't sleep. A global list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list. If keventd is already handling the current cpu's work, we use a timer to defer queueing of that work. Since the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using explicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference() premitives instead. This required that the fd information is kept in a separate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.

* [PATCH] files: break up files structDipankar Sarma2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

We are getting killed by the cacheline bouncing of the files_struct lock here. Writes on ramdisk (ext2) seems to vary just too much to get any meaningful number. Also, With Tridge's thread_perf test on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 xeon system : 2.6.12-rc5-vanilla : Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks Threads 0.34 +/- 0.01 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.00 seconds 2.6.12-rc5-fd : Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks Threads 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds Processes 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds I repeated the measurements on ramfs (as opposed to ext2 on ramdisk in the earlier measurement) and I got more consistent results from tiobench : 4(8) way xeon P4 ----------------- (lock-free) Test 2.6.12-rc5 Stdev 2.6.12-rc5-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1282 18.59 1343.6 26.37 Randread 1517 7 2415 34.27 Seqwrite 702.2 5.27 709.46 5.9 Randwrite 846.86 15.15 919.68 21.4 4-way ppc64 ------------ (lock-free) Test 2.6.12-rc5 Stdev 2.6.12-rc5-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1549 91.16 1569.6 47.2 Randread 1473.6 25.11 1585.4 69.99 Seqwrite 1096.8 20.03 1136 29.61 Randwrite 1189.6 4.04 1275.2 32.96 Also running Tridge's thread_perf test on ppc64 : 2.6.12-rc5-vanilla -------------------- Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks Threads 0.20 +/- 0.02 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds 2.6.12-rc5-fd -------------------- Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks Threads 0.18 +/- 0.04 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds The benefits are huge (upto ~60%) in some cases on x86 primarily due to the atomic operations during acquisition of ->file_lock and cache line bouncing in fast path. ppc64 benefits are modest due to LL/SC based locking, but still statistically significant.

* [PATCH] fix reboot via keyboard controller resetTruxton Fulton2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have a system (Biostar IDEQ210M mini-pc with a VIA chipset) which will not reboot unless a keyboard is plugged in to it. I have tried all combinations of the kernel "reboot=x,y" flags to no avail. Rebooting by any method will leave the system in a wedged state (at the "Restarting system" message). I finally tracked the problem down to the machine's refusal to fully reboot unless the keyboard controller status register had bit 2 set. This is the "System flag" which when set, indicates successful completion of the keyboard controller self-test (Basic Assurance Test, BAT). I suppose that something is trying to protect against sporadic reboots unless the keyboard controller is in a good state (a keyboard is present), but I need this machine to be headless. I found that setting the system flag (via the command byte) before giving the "pulse reset line" command will allow the reboot to proceed. The patch is simple, and I think it should be fine for everybody whether they have this type of machine or not. This affects the "hard" reboot (as done when the kernel boot flags "reboot=c,h" are used). Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switchChen, Kenneth W2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large (currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function. The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

* [PATCH] security: enable atomic inode security labelingStephen Smalley2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch set enables atomic security labeling of newly created inodes by altering the fs code to invoke a new LSM hook to obtain the security attribute to apply to a newly created inode and to set up the incore inode security state during the inode creation transaction. This parallels the existing processing for setting ACLs on newly created inodes. Otherwise, it is possible for new inodes to be accessed by another thread via the dcache prior to complete security setup (presently handled by the post_create/mkdir/... LSM hooks in the VFS) and a newly created inode may be left unlabeled on the disk in the event of a crash. SELinux presently works around the issue by ensuring that the incore inode security label is initialized to a special SID that is inaccessible to unprivileged processes (in accordance with policy), thereby preventing inappropriate access but potentially causing false denials on legitimate accesses. A simple test program demonstrates such false denials on SELinux, and the patch solves the problem. Similar such false denials have been encountered in real applications. This patch defines a new inode_init_security LSM hook to obtain the security attribute to apply to a newly created inode and to set up the incore inode security state for it, and adds a corresponding hook function implementation to SELinux.

Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't been used for anything other than printing warning messages." An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so quickly." Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial" subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked. "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag is removed." Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

| * | | [PATCH] USB: isp116x-hcd: remove clock() and reset()Olav Kongas2005-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes support for user-provided platform-specific hardware reset and clock starting/stopping functions. Hardware reset was needed earlier as getting the software reset working was tricky due to the lack of documentation. Recently, a number of people using isp116x have said the software reset is working for them. I haven't heard of anybody using the clock starting/stopping.

The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes. kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/ /dev/bus/usb/ |-- 1 | `-- 1 |-- 2 | `-- 1 ... udev rule: SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c" (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/') This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs: export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb Background: All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support. New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files. This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up: SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c" /sbin/usbdevice: #!/bin/sh echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/' Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
