There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the high partition. The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to() preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to prevent preemption. Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall-note.o is not listed as a target so its .cmd file is neither considered as a target nor is it read on the next build. This causes vsyscall-note.o to be rebuilt every time that you run make, which causes vmlinux to be rebuilt every time.

It turns out that we need to check for pending signals when a newly forked process is run for the first time. With strace -f, strace needs to know about the forked process before it gets going. If it doesn't, then it ptraces some bogus values into its registers, and the process segfaults. So, I added calls to interrupt_end, which does that, plus checks for reschedules. There shouldn't be any of those, but x86 does the same thing, so I'm copying that behavior to be safe.

This is a bunch of compile fixes provoked by building UML with gcc 4. There are a bunch of signedness mismatches, a couple of uninitialized references, and a botched C99 structure initialization which had somehow gone unnoticed.

Some bits of the kernel assume that gp always points to valid memory, in particular PHYSICAL_MODE_ENTER() assumes that both gp and sp are valid virtual addresses with associated physical pages. The IA64 module loader puts gp well past the end of the module, with no physical backing. Offsets on gp are still valid, but physical mode addressing breaks for modules. Ensure that gp always falls within the module body. Also ensure that gp is 8 byte aligned. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

We should never apply a lookup intent to anything other than the last path component in an open(), create() or access() call. Introduce the helper nfs_lookup_check_intent() which always returns zero if LOOKUP_CONTINUE or LOOKUP_PARENT are set, and returns the intent flags if we're on the last component of the lookup. By doing so, we fix a bug in open(O_EXCL), where we may end up optimizing away a real lookup of the parent directory.

[AGPGART] Replace check_bridge_mode() with (bridge->mode & AGSTAT_MODE_3_0). As mentioned earlier, the current check_bridge_mode() code assumes that AGP bridges are PCI devices. This isn't always true. Definitely not for HP zx1 chipset and the same seems to be the case for SGI's AGP bridge. The patch below fixes the problem by picking up the AGP_MODE_3_0 bit from bridge->mode. I feel like I may be missing something, since I can't see any reason why check_bridge_mode() wasn't doing that in the first place. According to the AGP 3.0 specs, the AGP_MODE_3_0 bit is determined during the hardware reset and cannot be changed, so it seems to me it should be safe to pick it up from bridge->mode. With the patch applied, I can definitely use AGP acceleration both with AGP 2.0 and AGP 3.0 (one with an Nvidia card, the other with an ATI FireGL card). Unless someone spots a problem, please apply this patch so 3d acceleration can work on zx1 boxes again. This makes AGP work again on machines with an AGP bridge that isn't a PCI device.

When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP GART. This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'. Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing the GATT. Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from the point of view of the GART. These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing architectures that use the GART driver.
