[PATCH] FD_ZERO build fix

2007-01-12T02:18:22+00:00

unionfs managed to hit this on s390.  Some architectures use __ptr_t in their
FD_ZERO implementation.  We don't have a __ptr_t.  Switch them over to plain
old void*.

[S390] don't call handle_mm_fault() if in an atomic context.

2007-01-09T09:18:50+00:00

There are several places in the futex code where a spin_lock is held
and still uaccesses happen. Deadlocks are avoided by increasing the
preempt count. The pagefault handler will then not take any locks
but will immediately search the fixup tables.

[S390] Fix reboot hang on LPARs

2006-12-15T16:18:22+00:00

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.

[S390] Hipersocket multicast queue: make sure outbound handler is called

2006-12-15T16:18:14+00:00

A HiperSocket multicast queue works asynchronously. When sending
buffers, the buffer state change from PRIMED to EMPTY may happen
delayed. Reschedule the checking for changes in the outbound queue,
if there are still PRIMED buffers.

[PATCH] Optimize D-cache alias handling on fork

2006-12-13T17:27:08+00:00

Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away
without cache flushing when forking.  This patch adds a new cache
flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the
moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures
except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

[PATCH] tty: preparatory structures for termios revamp

2006-12-08T16:28:56+00:00

In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need
to separate the kernel and user termios structures.  Glibc is fine but the
other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to
extend this without breaking the ABI/API

To do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios
structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for
now.  (That limitation will go away in later patches).  Some platforms (eg
alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not.

This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible
splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect
them)

[S390] Virtual memmap for s390.

2006-12-08T14:56:07+00:00

Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation.

Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach
shared memory regions.
These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss
implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages
for every single shared page.
Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach
shared memory:

int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);
int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);

The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given
memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the
corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages.
It also initialises the new struct pages.

remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table
entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for
struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be
reused when the next segment will be attached.
Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and
in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of
a restriction, but there is room for improvement.

[S390] New DASD feature for ERP related logging

2006-12-08T14:54:15+00:00

It is now possible to enable/disable ERP related logging without re-compile
and re-ipl. A additional sysfs-attribute 'erplog' allows to switch the
logging non-interruptive.

[PATCH] cleanup asm/setup.h userspace visibility

2006-12-07T16:39:46+00:00

Make the contents of the userspace asm/setup.h header consistent on all
architectures:

 - export setup.h to userspace on all architectures
 - export only COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to userspace
 - frv: move COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from param.h
 - i386: remove duplicate COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from param.h
 - arm:
   - export ATAGs to userspace
   - change u8/u16/u32 to __u8/__u16/__u32
