2007-02-12[PATCH] i386: 2048-byte command lineAlon Bar-Lev
Current implementation allows the kernel to receive up to 255 characters from the bootloader. While the boot protocol allows greater buffers to be sent. In current environment, the command-line is used in order to specify many values, including suspend/resume, module arguments, splash, initramfs and more. 255 characters are not enough anymore. After edd issue was fixed, and dynammic kernel command-line patch was accepted, we can extend the COMMAND_LINE_SIZE without runtime memory requirements.

2007-02-11[PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt
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.

2007-02-09[PATCH] kill eth_io_copy_and_sum()Al Viro
On all targets that sucker boils down to memcpy_fromio(sbk->data, from, len). The function name is highly misguiding (it _never_ does any checksums), the last argument is just a noise and simply expanding the call to memcpy_fromio() gives shorter and more readable source. For a lot of reasons it has almost no remaining users, so it's better to just outright kill it.

2007-01-26[PATCH] i386 vDSO: use VM_ALWAYSDUMPRoland McGrath
This patch fixes core dumps to include the vDSO vma, which is left out now. It removes the special-case core writing macros, which were not doing the right thing for the vDSO vma anyway. Instead, it uses VM_ALWAYSDUMP in the vma; there is no need for the fixmap page to be installed. It handles the CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO case by making elf_core_dump use the fake vma from get_gate_vma after real vmas in the same way the /proc/PID/maps code does. This changes core dumps so they no longer include the non-PT_LOAD phdrs from the vDSO. I made the change to add them in the first place, but in turned out that nothing ever wanted them there since the advent of NT_AUXV. It's cleaner to leave them out, and just let the phdrs inside the vDSO image speak for themselves.

2007-01-26[PATCH] Fix CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSORoland McGrath
I wouldn't mind if CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO went away entirely. But if it's there, it should work properly. Currently it's quite haphazard: both real vma and fixmap are mapped, both are put in the two different AT_* slots, sysenter returns to the vma address rather than the fixmap address, and core dumps yet are another story. This patch makes CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO disable the real vma and use the fixmap area consistently. This makes it actually compatible with what the old vdso implementation did.

2007-01-22[PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during bootJames Bottomley
The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA, the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA. The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so voyager currently won't boot without this. The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

2006-12-13[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezerRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed. To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it. To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: preparatory structures for termios revampAlan Cox
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) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery. There are no functional changes from the old i386 implementation. The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function) information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.

2006-12-07[PATCH] silence unused pgdat warning from alloc_bootmem_node and friendsAndy Whitcroft
x86 NUMA systems only define bootmem for node 0. alloc_bootmem_node() and friends therefore ignore the passed pgdat and use NODE_DATA(0) in all cases. This leads to the following warnings as we are not using the passed parameter: .../mm/page_alloc.c: In function 'zone_wait_table_init': .../mm/page_alloc.c:2259: warning: unused variable 'pgdat' One option would be to define all variables used with these macros __attribute__ ((unused)), but this would leave us exposed should these become genuinely unused. The key here is that we _are_ using the value, we ignore it but that is a deliberate action. This patch adds a nested local variable within the alloc_bootmem_node helper to which the pgdat parameter is assigned making it 'used'. The nested local is marked __attribute__ ((unused)) to silence this same warning for it.

Since v->counter is both read and written, it should be an output as well as an input for the asm. The current code only gets away with this because counter is volatile. Also, according to Documents/atomic_ops.txt, atomic_add_return should provide a memory barrier, in particular a compiler barrier, so the asm should be marked as clobbering memory. Test case: #include <stdio.h> typedef struct { int counter; } atomic_t; /* NB: no "volatile" */ #define ATOMIC_INIT(i) { (i) } #define atomic_read(v) ((v)->counter) static __inline__ int atomic_add_return(int i, atomic_t *v) { int __i = i; __asm__ __volatile__( "lock; xaddl %0, %1;" :"=r"(i) :"m"(v->counter), "0"(i)); /* __asm__ __volatile__( "lock; xaddl %0, %1" :"+r" (i), "+m" (v->counter) : : "memory"); */ return i + __i; } int main (void) { atomic_t a = ATOMIC_INIT(0); int x; x = atomic_add_return (1, &a); if ((x!=1) || (atomic_read(&a)!=1)) printf("fail: %i, %i\n", x, atomic_read(&a)); } Signed-off-by: Duncan Sands <baldrick@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode. This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata workaround).

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: introduce the mechanism of disabling cpu hotplug controlSiddha, Suresh B
Add 'enable_cpu_hotplug' flag and when cleared, the hotplug control file ("online") will not be added under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ Next patch doing PCI quirks will use this.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Add support for compilation for Core2Andi Kleen
gcc doesn't support -mtune=core2 yet, but will be soon. Use -mtune=generic or -mtune=i686 as fallback TBD need benchmarking for INTEL_USERCOPY etc. So far I used the same defaults as MPENTIUMM Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: fix missing pte updateZachary Amsden
The function ptep_get_and_clear uses an atomic instruction sequence to get and clear an active pte. Rather than add such an atomic operator to all virtual machine implementations in paravirt-ops, it is easier to support the raw atomic sequence and use either a trapping writable pagetable approach, or a post-update notification. For the post update notification, we require the pte_update function to be called after the access. Combine the 2-level and 3-level paging operators into one common function which does the post-update notification, and rename the actual atomic sequences to raw_ptep_xxx operators.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Preparatory mmu header movementZachary Amsden
Move header includes for the nopud / nopmd types to the location of the actual pte / pgd type definitions. This allows generic 4-level page type code to be written before the split 2/3 level page table headers are included.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Add MMU virtualization to paravirt_opsRusty Russell
Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops. Most amusingly, flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb. Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user (non-global). Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is confusingly overloaded.

Add APIC accessors to paravirt-ops. Unfortunately, we need two write functions, as some older broken hardware requires workarounds for Pentium APIC errata - this is the purpose of apic_write_atomic.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Allow selected bug checks to beRusty Russell
Allow selected bug checks to be skipped by paravirt kernels. The two most important are the F00F workaround (which is either done by the hypervisor, or not required), and the 'hlt' instruction check, which can break under some hypervisors.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualizationRusty Russell
1) Each hypervisor writes a probe function to detect whether we are running under that hypervisor. paravirt_probe() registers this function. 2) If vmlinux is booted with ring != 0, we call all the probe functions (with registers except %esp intact) in link order: the winner will not return.
