* [PATCH] Add TAINT_USER and ability to set taint flags from userspaceTheodore Ts'o2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set. For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). Sigh. What were those silly people at Sun thinking?

* [PATCH] PNP: export pnp_bus_typeDavid Brownell2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PNP framework doesn't export "pnp_bus_type", which is an unfortunate exception to the policy followed by pretty much every other bus. I noticed this when I had to find a device in order to provide its platform_data. Note that per advice from Arjan, the "export" scope has been been minimized to avoid the hundred-plus bytes needed to support access from modules. In this case, the symbol is only needed by statically linked kernel code that lives outside the drivers/pnp directory.

* [PATCH] Relay: add CPU hotplug supportMathieu Desnoyers2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added. unplug isn't supported by this patch. The thought was that at minumum a new buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the channel was closed.

* [PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too. Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case there are plans to use them yet.

* [PATCH] struct vfsmount: keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark away from mnt_flagsEric Dumazet2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed cache misses in touch_atime() that can be avoided if we keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark in a different cache line than mnt_flags (mostly read) mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark are modified each time a file is opened/closed in a file system. touch_atime() is called each time a file is read, and generally needs to read mnt_flags. Other fields of struct vfsmount are mostly read so I chose to move mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark at the end of struct vfsmount. And adding a comment so that nobody tries to re-arrange fields to fill the holes :) On 64bits platforms, the new offsetof(mnt_count) is 0xC0 On 32bits platforms, it is 0x60, so I didnot add a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp because it would have a too big impact on the size of this object (in particular if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* [PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processingEric W. Biederman2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64. PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is hooked up and implemented. This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas slightly to take a task_struct to modify. Previously, it always operated on current. Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the code that implements that. It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so the same code can be used.

* [PATCH] uml: x86_64 thread fixesJeff Dike2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context switch. The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the register file. arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process when it runs again.

* [PATCH] m68k: work around binutils tokenizer changeAl Viro2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent as(1) doesn't think that . terminates a macro name, so getuser.l is _not_ treated as invoking getuser with .l as the first argument. arch/m68k/math-emu relies on old behaviour, so it gets a lot of undefined macros with more or less current binutils. Note that this behaviour remains in all recent versions and is unrelated to another binutils problems we used to have for a while (having (%a0)+ parsed as two arguments). This one is there to stay; it's an intentional and documented change. .irp <identifier> <words> [text] .endr expands to a copy of text per each word, with \<identifier> replaced with corresponding word. Again, what happens depends on whether gas_ident.x is treated as one or as two tokens; in the former case we'll get old_gas incremented once, in the latter - twice. The rest is obvious. Unlike .macro argument list _anything_ is explicitly allowed after .irp <identifier>; here we are on very safe ground. And yes, it does work with all gas variants I've got here (including vanilla 2.15, 2.16, 2.16.1 and 2.17, plus debian and FC binutils).

* [PATCH] simplify shmem_aops.set_page_dirty() methodKen Chen2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shmem backed file does not have page writeback, nor it participates in backing device's dirty or writeback accounting. So using generic __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() for its .set_page_dirty aops method is a bit overkill. It unnecessarily prolongs shm unmap latency. For example, on a densely populated large shm segment (sevearl GBs), the unmapping operation becomes painfully long. Because at unmap, kernel transfers dirty bit in PTE into page struct and to the radix tree tag. The operation of tagging the radix tree is particularly expensive because it has to traverse the tree from the root to the leaf node on every dirty page. What's bothering is that radix tree tag is used for page write back. However, shmem is memory backed and there is no page write back for such file system. And in the end, we spend all that time tagging radix tree and none of that fancy tagging will be used. So let's simplify it by introduce a new aops __set_page_dirty_no_writeback and this will speed up shm unmap.

* [PATCH] zoneid: fix up calculations for ZONEID_PGSHIFTAndy Whitcroft2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently if we have a non-zero ZONES_SHIFT we assume we are able to rely on that as the bottom edge of the ZONEID, if not then we use the NODES_PGOFF as the right end of either NODES _or_ SECTION. This latter is more luck than judgement and would be incorrect if we reordered the SECTION,NODE,ZONE options in the fields space. Really what we want is the lower of the right hand end of the two fields we are using (either NODE,ZONE or SECTION,ZONE). Codify that explicitly. As always allow for there being no bits in either of the fields, such as might be valid in a non-numa machine with only a zone NORMAL.

* [PATCH] Use ZVC for inactive and active countsChristoph Lameter2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The determination of the dirty ratio to determine writeback behavior is currently based on the number of total pages on the system. However, not all pages in the system may be dirtied. Thus the ratio is always too low and can never reach 100%. The ratio may be particularly skewed if large hugepage allocations, slab allocations or device driver buffers make large sections of memory not available anymore. In that case we may get into a situation in which f.e. the background writeback ratio of 40% cannot be reached anymore which leads to undesired writeback behavior. This patchset fixes that issue by determining the ratio based on the actual pages that may potentially be dirty. These are the pages on the active and the inactive list plus free pages. The problem with those counts has so far been that it is expensive to calculate these because counts from multiple nodes and multiple zones will have to be summed up. This patchset makes these counters ZVC counters. This means that a current sum per zone, per node and for the whole system is always available via global variables and not expensive anymore to calculate. The patchset results in some other good side effects: - Removal of the various functions that sum up free, active and inactive page counts - Cleanup of the functions that display information via the proc filesystem. This patch: The use of a ZVC for nr_inactive and nr_active allows a simplification of some counter operations. More ZVC functionality is used for sums etc in the following patches.

Two IRQ calls are added in ata_port_operations. - irq_on() is used to enable interrupts. - irq_ack() is used to acknowledge a device interrupt. In most drivers, ata_irq_on() and ata_irq_ack() are used for irq_on and irq_ack respectively. In some drivers (ex: ahci, sata_sil24) which cannot use them as is, ata_dummy_irq_on() and ata_dummy_irq_ack() are used.

* libata: convert to iomapTejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert libata core layer and LLDs to use iomap. * managed iomap is used. Pointer to pcim_iomap_table() is cached at host->iomap and used through out LLDs. This basically replaces host->mmio_base. * if possible, pcim_iomap_regions() is used Most iomap operation conversions are taken from Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>'s iomap branch.

* devres: implement pcim_iomap_regions()Tejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | Implement pcim_iomap_regions(). This function takes mask of BARs to request and iomap. No BAR should have length of zero. BARs are iomapped using pcim_iomap_table(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

* libata: update libata core layer to use devresTejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update libata core layer to use devres. * ata_device_add() acquires all resources in managed mode. * ata_host is allocated as devres associated with ata_host_release. * Port attached status is handled as devres associated with ata_host_attach_release(). * Initialization failure and host removal is handedl by releasing devres group. * Except for ata_scsi_release() removal, LLD interface remains the same. Some functions use hacky is_managed test to support both managed and unmanaged devices. These will go away once all LLDs are updated to use devres.

* libata: implement ata_host_detach()Tejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | Implement ata_host_detach() which calls ata_port_detach() for each port in the host and export it. ata_port_detach() is now internal and thus un-exported. ata_host_detach() will be used as the 'deregister from libata layer' function after devres conversion.

* devres: device resource managementTejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
* libata: kill qc->nsect and cursectTejun Heo2007-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | libata used two separate sets of variables to record request size and current offset for ATA and ATAPI. This is confusing and fragile. This patch replaces qc->nsect/cursect with qc->nbytes/curbytes and kills them. Also, ata_pio_sector() is updated to use bytes for qc->cursg_ofs instead of sectors. The field used to be used in bytes for ATAPI and in sectors for ATA. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
