| | * input/hid: Supporting more keys from the HUT Consumer PageFlorian Festi2006-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On USB keyboards lots of hot/internet keys are not working. This patch adds support for a number of keys from the USB HID Usage Table (http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/Hut1_12.pdf). It also adds several new key codes. Most of them are used on real world keyboards I know. I added some others (KEY_+ EDITOR, GRAPHICSEDITOR, DATABASE, NEWS, VOICEMAIL, VIDEOPHONE) to avoid "holes". I also added KEY_ZOOMRESET as it is possible to have a inet keyboard and a remote control in parallel and it makes sense to have them behave differently.

| * | Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t"Linus Torvalds2006-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reboot hangs on LPARs without diag308 support. The reason for this is, that before the reboot is done, the channel subsystem is shut down. During the reset on each possible subchannel a "store subchannel" is done. This operation can end in a program check interruption, if the specified subchannel set is not implemented by the hardware. During the reset, currently we do not have a program check handler, which leads to the described kernel bug. We install now a new program check handler for the reboot code to fix this problem.

Also removed the sctp_local_addr_lock() which is no longer needed as we now use list_for_each_safe() to traverse this list.

| | | * | [ARM] 4016/1: prefetch macro is wrong wrt gcc's "delete-null-pointer-checks"Nicolas Pitre2006-12-13

The compiler assumes that dereferencing | a null pointer would have halted the program. If a pointer is | checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null. | Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'. Now the problem can be seen with this test case: #include <linux/prefetch.h> extern void bar(char *x); void foo(char *x) { prefetch(x); if (x) bar(x); } Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in. Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar() is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x. Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more complex code. It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code for the above example confirms that. An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an offsettable memory reference. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle; Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

There is a process containing two thread (T1 and T2). The thread T1 calls fork(). Then dup_mmap() function called on T1 context. static inline int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm) ... flush_cache_mm(current->mm); ... /* A */ (write-protect all Copy-On-Write pages) ... /* B */ flush_tlb_mm(current->mm); ... 2. When preemption happens between A and B (or on SMP kernel), the thread T2 can run and modify data on COW pages without page fault (modified data will stay in cache). 3. Some time after fork() completed, the thread T2 may cause a page fault by write-protect on a COW page. 4. Then data of the COW page will be copied to newly allocated physical page (copy_cow_page()). It reads data via kernel mapping. The kernel mapping can have different 'color' with user space mapping of the thread T2 (dcache aliasing). Therefore copy_cow_page() will copy stale data. Then the modified data in cache will be lost. In order to allow architecture code to deal with this problem allow architecture code to override copy_user_highpage() by defining __HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE in <asm/page.h>.

This cuts the driver size by some 20%. This change is also required to later convert the it87 driver to a platform driver, so that we can get rid of i2c-isa in a near future.
