| * [PATCH] powerpc: Make the vDSO functions set error code (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall. Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails. This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones like __kernel_gettimeofday.

| * [PATCH] powerpc: pci_64 fixes & cleanupsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with some duplication between platforms. This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work. It should work for both boot time and dynamically allocated PHBs. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is needed for large multinode IBM systems which have a sparse APIC space in clustered mode, fully covering the available 8 bits. The previous kernels would limit the local APIC number to 127, which caused it to reject some of the CPUs at boot.

| * | [PATCH] x86_64: Use common sys_time64Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and buggy) copy of sys_time. The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is a time_t, i.e. a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int (32-bit). The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME). Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support - but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny! Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock. I.e. we have a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them. No correctness issues, obviously. So this could even be merged for 2.6.14 (I'm not a fan of this idea, though).

The reason was that HOTPLUG always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now) The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would lead to this memory wastage. This implements some new heuristics: - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit, but seems like a obvious extension) - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.

It is meant for a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc. The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540. This is much bigger than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64). Also, there aren't enough vectors to go around. There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F. So, my patch attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

| * | [PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zoneAndi Kleen2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones. As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port was originally designed we had some discussion if we should use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early 2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy. But this has always caused problems since then because device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven it can deal with many zones successfully. So this patch adds both zones. This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.). Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was not enough memory. Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory (like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent, but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better. One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because it seems to be the most common restriction. The new zone is so far added only for x86-64. For other architectures who don't set up this new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32 as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able enough. One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite ugly and is now obsolete. These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The only caller of cpu_irq_down is the kexec code. On pSeries we need to do more than just teardown IRQs at kexec time, so rename the ppc_md member to kexec_cpu_down and expand it. The pSeries code needs to know, and other platforms might too, whether we're doing a crash shutdown (ie. panicking) or a regular kexec, so add a flag for that. The pSeries implementation of kexec_cpu_down does an unregister VPA call, which tells the Hypervisor to stop writing stuff into our pacas. Without this we can get weird memory corruption bugs when we kexec, caused by the Hypervisor writing into the first kernel's pacas which happens to be somewhere interesting in the second kernel's memory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merge asm-ppc/page.h and asm-ppc64/page.h into asm-powerpc/page.h, asm-powerpc/page_32.h and asm-powerpc/page_64.h Built for PPC (common_defconfig), with ARCH=powerpc, mostly built with ARCH=ppc (other things break the build). Built and booted on P5 LPAR for PPC64 with ARCH=ppc/powerpc (pseries_defconfig). Mostly built for iSeries powerpc.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch unconditionally requires CAP_NET_ADMIN for all nfnetlink messages. It also removes the per-message cap_required field, since all existing subsystems use CAP_NET_ADMIN for all their messages anyway. Patrick McHardy owes me a beer if we ever need to re-introduce this.

| * | | [ARM] 3160/1: SharpSL: Add driver for Akita specific GPIOsRichard Purdie2005-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Richard Purdie Add a driver for the extra GPIOs found on the Sharp SL-C1000 (Akita). These GPIOs are found on a Maxim MAX7310 I2C i/o expander chip. A generic GPIO driver for the MAX7310 was attempted but this mini driver is a much simpler and much more effective solution avoiding several issues and complexity the generic driver had (as discussed on LKML). The platform device is required so the device parent can be set correctly which ensures the device is one of the last to suspend and first to resume. Whilst the i2c suspend/resume calls can be influenced, nothing guarantees this is easlier/later than the subsystems the gpios are used on which are all independent of i2c (sound, irda, video/backlight etc.).
