* [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()Andrew Morton2006-03-314-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead. Reasons: - It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with fadvise() can be done in a single syscall. - Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX. The patch wires up the syscall for x86. The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later. Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c. A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz. The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common." Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation details down to that level. Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing. Same with fsync() and fdatasync()). Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such requests fail...

* [PATCH] IPMI: fix startup race conditionCorey Minyard2006-03-311-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Matt Domsch noticed a startup race with the IPMI kernel thread, it was possible (though extraordinarly unlikely) that a message could come in before the upper layer was ready to handle it. This patch splits the startup processing of an IPMI interface into two parts, one to get ready and one to actually start the processes to receive messages from the interface.

* [PATCH] Simplify proc/devices and fix early termination regressionJoe Korty2006-03-311-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices. Based on the proven design for /proc/interrupts. This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as demonstrated by: # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1 Character devices: 1 mem 27+0 records in 27+0 records out This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes, which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.

* [PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: s390KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2006-03-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

* [PATCH] uml: check for differences in host supportPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-03-311-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If running on a host not supporting TLS (for instance 2.4) we should report that cleanly to the user, instead of printing not comprehensible "error 5" for that. Additionally, i386 and x86_64 support different ranges for user_desc->entry_number, and we must account for that; we couldn't pass ourselves -1 because we need to override previously existing TLS descriptors which glibc has possibly set, so test at startup the range to use. x86 and x86_64 existing ranges are hardcoded.

* [PATCH] uml: implement {get,set}_thread_area for i386Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-03-317-38/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for UML. This is the main chunk, additional parts follow. This implementation is now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all the previously existing problems. Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to the host when appropriate, i.e. immediately when the target process is running or on context switch otherwise (i.e. on fork and on ptrace() calls). In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS does not switches tls_array together with current->mm). Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

* [PATCH] uml: split ldt.h in arch-independent and arch-dependant codePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-03-314-106/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h is made of two different parts - some code for parsing of LDT descriptors, which is arch-dependant, and the code to handle uml_ldt_t (an LDT block inside UML), which is mostly arch-independant (among x86 and x86_64, at least). Join the common part in a single file (ldt.h) and split the rest away (host_ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h). This is needed because processor.h, with next patches, will start including the LDT descriptor parsing macros in host_ldt.h, but it can't include ldt.h because it uses semaphores (and to define semaphores one must first include processor.h!).

* [PATCH] i386 kdump timer vector lockup fixVivek Goyal2006-03-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2 o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not support the other mode. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object. Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the older libata-pata patches.

Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex hardware. A following diff will deal with that. The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other. The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer. Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation bugs.

The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only the tip of the iceberg. The real problem is that when we removed the dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module case at all. For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load. After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part of xfrm4_tunnel. This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem. This is still preserved by this patch. So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles the arbitration between the two. The order of processing is determined by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before xfrm4_tunnel. The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since we may not have enough information to determine who it's for. It's not a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically no-ops. In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching in general. The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig prompts. This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP as it stands. The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since module dependency will cause them to be loaded. Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this patch to skb's. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * | | | [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-03-286-41/+53

With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.
