This patch improves ext3's error logging when we encounter an on-disk corruption. Previously, a transaction (such as a truncate) which encountered many corruptions (eg. a single highly-corrupt indirect block) would emit copious "aborting transaction" errors to the log. Even worse, encountering an aborted journal can count as such an error, leading to a flood of spurious "aborting transaction: Journal has aborted" errors. With the fix, only emit that message on the first error. The patch also restores a missing \n in that printk path. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes some unneeded cruft that Adrian found, and also turns off the shutdown of the timer when removing the module. Since the timer is shutdown when the driver is closed (unless no way out is specified) this is unnecessary and defeats the no way out option. - remove some completely unused code - make some needlessly global code static - removal of some EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed code with zero users. - Removal of the timer shutdown on module removal Signed-off-by:

Testing revealed long pauses of the entire system while autofs initiated umounts as a result of timing out the mounts. It was noticed that during a umount, the BKL is held while scanning the inode_list and removing and inodes that are candidates. This patch moves locking until after the first pass had gone through the inode_list. Testing revelead that on an ia64 machine with a filesystem that had 8.4 Million inodes, there were no observable pauses during the umount. This was down from over 4 seconds without this patch.

This code is the same for all architectures with the following invariants: - arm gurantees irqs are disabled when calling irq_exit so it can call __do_softirq directly instead of do_softirq - arm26 is totally broken for about half a year, I didn't care for it - some architectures use softirq_pending(smp_processor_id()) instead of local_softirq_pending, but they always evaluate to the same This patch moves the out of line irq_exit implementation from kernel/irq/handle.c which depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS to kernel/softirq.c which is always compiled, tweaks it for the arm special case and moves the irq_enter/irq_exit/nmi_enter/nmi_exit bits from asm-*/hardirq.h to linux/hardirq.h Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes incorrect address range check in do_getname(). Theoretically this can lead to do_getname() failure on kernel address space string on the TASK_SIZE boundary addresses when 4GB split is ON. (akpm: I don't see why this check exists at all, actually. afaict the only effect of removing it is that we'll then generate -EFAULT on a non-null-terminated pathname which ends exactly at TASK_SIZE).

This patch is to offer common accounting data collection method at memory usage for various accounting packages including BSD accounting, ELSA, CSA and any other acct packages that use a common layer of data collection. New struct fields are added to mm_struct to save high watermarks of rss usage as well as virtual memory usage. New struct fields are added to task_struct to collect accumulated rss usage and vm usages. These data are collected on per process basis. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch applies some further fixes and extensions to the nommu mmap implementation: (1) /proc/maps distinguishes shareable private mappings and real shared mappings by marking the former with 's' and the latter with 'S'. (2) Rearrange and optimise the checking portion of do_mmap_pgoff() to make it easier to follow. (3) Only set VM_SHARED on MAP_SHARED mappings. Its presence indicates that the backing memory is supplied by the underlying file or chardev. VM_MAYSHARE indicates that a VMA may be shared if it's a private VMA. The memory for a private VMA is allocated by do_mmap_pgoff() from a kmalloc slab and then the file contents are read into it before returning. (4) Permit MAP_SHARED + PROT_WRITE on memory-backed files[*] and chardevs to indicate a contiguous area of memory when its get_unmapped_area() is called if the backing fs/chardev is willing. [*] file->f_mapping->backing_dev_info->memory_backed == 1 (5) Require chardevs and files that support to provide a get_unmapped_area() file operation. (6) Made sure a private mapping of /dev/zero is possible. Shared mappings of /dev/zero are not currently supported because this'd need greater interaction of mmap with the chardev driver than is currently supported. (7) Add in some extra checks from mm/mmap.c: security, file having write access for a writable shared mapping, file not being in append mode. (8) Only account the mapping memory if it's allocated here; memory belonging to a shared chardev or file is not accounted. With this patch it should be possible to map contiguous flash files directly out of ROM simply by providing get_unmapped_area() for a read-only/shared mapping. I think that it might be worth splitting do_mmap_pgoff() up into smaller subfunctions: one to handle the checking, one to handle shared mappings and one to handle private mappings. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch does the following things: (1) It uniquifies permitted overlapping VMAs (eg: MAP_SHARED on chardevs) in nommu_vma_tree. Identical entries break the assumptions on which rbtrees work. Since we don't need to share VMAs in this case, we uniquify such VMAs by using the pointer to the VMA. They're only kept in the tree for /proc/maps visibility. (2) Extracts VMA unlinking into its own function so that the source is adjacent to the VMA linking function. (3) No longer releases memory belonging to a shared chardev or file (the underlying driver is expected to provide mappable memory). (4) Frees the file attached to a VMA whether or not that VMA is shared or is a memory-mapped I/O mapping. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch makes the following fixes to the frv arch: (1) pte_offset() should no longer be around; the fault handler should use pte_offset_kernel() instead when fixing up vmalloc misses. (2) The PGEs/PMEs do not hold PTEs. They have greater address resolution and fewer control bits. (3) The data access error pattern in ESR15.EC should be 10000 not 10100. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch stops the FRV kernel-instruction-TLB-miss handler from setting the write-protect bit on a mapping entry when punting an entry from the mapping fast cache registers (DAMR1/IAMR1) to the TLB. This patch derives the WP value from the DAMPR1 register (which actually has a WP bit) rather than the IAMPR1 register (which does not). Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch fixes three debugging problems in the frv arch: (1) Single-stepping in userspace steps through into the kernel-mode interrupt handler when a hardware interrupt happens, and sometimes it gets past where the debug-mode handler would normally catch it. This patch extends the range of detected PC values. (2) When setting up the kernel-mode exception frame from the debug-mode handler for a userspace debugging event, we weren't setting the LR register to generate a return to the exception handler epilogue. (3) sys_ptrace() now needs to "put" the inferior task_struct not "free" it as was done in 2.4. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch further changes the nommu stuff previously changed. These new changes do the following: (0) Some additional variables have been defined to make nommu even compile. (1) Get rid of the alternate vm_area_struct. The nommu mmap now uses the normal one. There's a refcount field added to the normal one, contingent on !CONFIG_MMU. (2) vm_rb is now used to keep track of the VMAs in an rbtree rather than adding a separate list. (3) mm_tblock_struct is now vm_list_struct. (4) put_vma() now calls vma->vm_ops->close() if available on nommu. (5) A dummy generic_file_vm_ops has been provided. It does nothing, but permits tiny-shmem to compile. tiny-shmem and ramfs still need attention, such that files contained therein can be mmapped shared-writably to some extent on nommu.

The attached patch fixes the following problems in the ELF-FDPIC binfmt driver: (1) elf_fdpic_map_file() should be passed an mm_struct pointer, not NULL. (2) do_mmap() should be called with the mmap_sem held. (3) mm_struct::end_brk doesn't exist in 2.6 (debugging only). (4) Avoid debugging warnings by casting certain values to unsigned long before printing them. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch adds a new binary format driver that allows a special variety of ELF to be used that permits the dynamic sections that comprise an executable, its dynamic loader and its shared libaries and its stack and data to be located anywhere within the address space. This is used to provide shared libraries and shared executables (at least, as far as the read-only dynamic sections go) on uClinux. Not only that, but the same binaries can be run on MMU linux without a problem. This is achieved by: (1) Passing loadmaps to the dynamic loader (or to a statically linked executable) to indicate the whereabouts of the various dynamic sections. (2) Using a GOT inside the program. (3) Passing setup_arg_pages() the stack pointer to be. (4) Allowing the arch greated control over how an executable is laid out in memory in MMU Linux. (5) Rewriting mm/nommu.c to support MAP_PRIVATE on files, thus allowing _mmap_ to handle sharing of private-readonly mappings. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch fixes the usage of setup_arg_pages() in the IA64, MIPS, S390 and Sparc64 arches. This function now takes an extra parameter: the initial top of stack. This is useful in uClinux when there's no fixed location to which the stack pointer can be initialised. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch splits some memory-related procfs files into MMU and !MMU versions and places them in separate conditionally-compiled files. A header file local to the fs/proc/ directory is used to declare functions and the like. Additionally, a !MMU-only proc file (/proc/maps) is provided so that master VMA list in a uClinux kernel is viewable. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch changes mm/nommu.c to better support mmap() when MMU support is disabled (as it is in uClinux). This was discussed on the uclibc mailing list in a thread revolving around the following message: Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 12:05:50 +1000 From: David McCullough <davidm@snapgear.com> To: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com>, uclibc@uclibc.org Subject: Re: [uClibc] mmaps for malloc should be private Message-ID: <20040401020550.GG3150@beast> The revised rules are: (1) Anonymous mappings can be shared or private, read or write. (2) Chardevs can be mapped shared, provided they supply a get_unmapped_area() file operation and use that to set the address of the mapping (as a frame buffer driver might do, for instance). (3) Files (and blockdevs) cannot be mapped shared since it is not really possible to honour this by writing any changes back to the backing device. (4) Files (or sections thereof) can be mapped read-only private, in which case the mapped bit will be read into memory and shared, and its address will be returned. Any excess beyond EOF will be cleared. (5) Files (or sections thereof) can be mapped writable private, in which case a private copy of the mapped bit will be read into a new bit memory, and its address will be returned. Any excess beyond EOF will be cleared. Mappings are per MM structure still. You can only unmap what you've mapped. Fork semantics are irrelevant, since there's no fork. A global list of VMA's is maintained to keep track of the bits of memory currently mapped on the system. The new binfmt makes use of (4) to implement shared libraries. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch makes calibrate_delay() optional. In this architecture, it's a waste of time since we can predict exactly what it's going to come up with just by looking at the CPU's hardware clock registers. Thus far, we haven't seen a board with any clock not dependent on the CPU's clock. Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch makes cache flushing work correctly on DMA consistent memory for the frv arch. On the FRV unmapped memory can't be flushed directly, but has to be kmapped first since the flush instructions take virtual pointers not physical ones.
