From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> This way we can reconfigure the phy and sleep as needed. Also removed unnecessary locking from smc_phy_powerdown() since the chip is not active anymore when this is called. Signed-off-by:

From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> When large amount of packets are sent, the most likely source of throttling (when THROTTLE_TX_PKTS is off) is the completion of on-chip buffer allocation that triggers an IRQ. Instead of pushing data to the chip in IRQ context, we now schedule a tasklet which has the big advantage of being interruptible by the RX packet IRQ giving the RX processing the ultimate priority over anything else. This is really important especially on the SMC91C111 which has only 4 packet buffers total regardless of packet size and has a tendency of suffering from RX overruns. This change allows RX packets to be pulled immediately upon arrival instead of having to wait for a (possibly much larger) TX packet to be entirely pushed onto the chip. The THROTTLE_TX_PKTS logic is also a bit more efficient as it now looks for a packet already been transmitted before stopping the queue therefore decreasing unnecessary TX idle periods while still keeping most buffers free for RX packets.

From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Let's avoid all that crap of preserving the bank to restore it all the time if that's not necessary. The rule is simple: bank 2 is the only allowed bank when the chip is active and unlocked. Anything that needs to change the bank to something other than bank 2 must lock against any concurrent access and return to bank 2 before unlocking. Signed-off-by:

From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> This allows for access to the chip to be entirely factorized, and proper locking to be added over an extremely small critical area. Also a prerequisite for patch 05. Signed-off-by:

From: Lars Ellenberg <Lars.Ellenberg@linbit.com> Add a memory barrier to the assembly checksum code - the code was copied straight from the i386 one, and the patch resyncs the code with the original. I'll check if the original code can be included directly (i.e. "#include") after 2.6.9. Without this patch, every 2.6 UML release corrupts the checksum of every UDP fragmented packet with size >= MTU (verified by various people, we all agree on this issue; nobody reported "Works fine here"). The corrupted packets are not accepted, thus blocking any kind of communication with large-sized UDP packets. In fact, I've even dissected the UML -> host traffic before and after this patch with Ethereal - and it always reported an incorrect checksum for fragmented UDP packets before and always correct after applying the patch.

Currently, ubd=sync is different from replacing ubd#= with ubd#s=. This is against Principle of Least Surprise, so remove this difference. Also the current ubd=sync behaviour is completely useless: it is to make sure that when the kernel has synched its I/O to the virtual disk, the host does not invalidate this with his caching; this causes ReiserFS corruption. But since actually we call end_request() only after the io_thread has done its work, we never lie to the block layer. Using O_SYNC as we do when replacing ubd#= with ubd#s= is enough. Signed-off-by:

From: BlaisorBlade <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it>, Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> Avoid deadlocking onto the request lock in the UBD driver, i.e. don't lock the queue spinlock when called from the request function. In detail: Rename ubd_finish() to __ubd_finish() and remove ubd_io_lock from it. Add wrapper, ubd_finish(), which grabs lock before calling __ubd_finish(). Update do_ubd_request to use the lock free __ubd_finish() to avoid deadlock. Also, apparently prepare_request is called with ubd_io_lock held, so remove locks there. Signed-off-by:

Extraversion in arch/um/Makefile is not needed in mainline, but just for separate patches; also, they should set it in the main Makefile, not elsewhere (Jeff Garzik has just complained). Also remove the dependency from version.h on arch/um/Makefile: it was added because arch/um/Makefile could change the kernel version number. Signed-off-by:

This forces make to use bash rather than whatever /bin/sh is linked to. Without this, since there are some bash extensions used in the build and when /bin/sh isn't bash, then the build fails without a clear error message. Signed-off-by:

If arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile is included before adding -O2 (and the rest) to CFLAGS, I must duplicate the addition of it to USER_CFLAGS for UML. So let's fix this. Also, the below code is useless, since if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is y, then CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is always y. ifeq ($(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO),y) CFLAGS := $(subst -fomit-frame-pointer,,$(CFLAGS)) endif Signed-off-by:

The patch below by Roland McGrath fixes two bugs in the implementation of the selinux_file_mprotect hook: It calls selinux_file_mmap, which has two problems. First, the stacked security module will get both mmap and mprotect callbacks for an mprotect call, which is wrong. Secondly, the vm_flags value contains VM_* bits, and these do not match the MAP_* bits of the same name or function, so it passes bogus flags and causes every mprotect to be treated as if MAP_SHARED were in use. The patch shares the common code while not having one function call the other, and fixes these two bugs. Signed-off-by:

Derive process start times from the posix_clock_monotonic notion of uptime instead of "jiffies", consistent with the earlier change to /proc/uptime itself. (http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@3ef4851dGg0fxX58R9Zv8SIq9fzNmQ?na%0Av=index.html|src/.|src/fs|src/fs/proc|related/fs/proc/proc_misc.c) Process start times are reported to userspace in units of 1/USER_HZ since boot, thus applications as procps need the value of "uptime" to convert them into absolute time. Currently "uptime" is derived from an ntp-corrected time base, but process start time is derived from the free-running "jiffies" counter. This results in inaccurate, drifting process start times as seen by the user, even if the exported number stays constant, because the users notion of "jiffies" changes in time. It's John Stultz's patch anyways, which I only messed up a bit, but since people started trading signed-off lines on lkml: Signed-off-by:

This patch is for removing obsolete system calls from m32r kernel, such as old_mmap and old_select. * arch/m32r/kernel/entry.S: - Remove an obsolete system call, old_mmap, from the syscall table. * arch/m32r/kernel/sys_m32r.c: - Remove obsolete system calls, old_mmap() and old_select(). - do_mmap2() is renamed to sys_mmap2(). * CAUTION (for m32r users): The new kernel (applied this patch) does not have a backward compatibility. The new kernel and old library pair does not work. So, those who want to use the new kernel must use a new version of glibc (the GNU C library), which uses the "mmap2(_NR_mmap2)" syscall for __mmap() instead of the "old_mmap(__NR_mmap)". The new glibc package, libc6_2.3.2.ds1-16.0.3_m32r.deb, is provided on the following site, please apt-get/download it and upgrade. http://debian.linux-m32r.org/dists/03_cambrian/main/binary-m32r/Signed-off-by:Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org> Signed-off-by:

The post-2.6.8 recent tweaks to the page writeback thresholding code seems to be doing the wrong thing for small unmapped_ratios - nathans had a few problems with it. The problem it was trying to fix is minor and fairly theoretical anyway, so back it out to the old code. Signed-off-by:

- Remove the setting of CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC resolution according to the interpolator resolution since this causes periodic timer signals to fail. The clocks will still be high-resolution but the "resolution" reported reflects the timer intervals possible via timer_settime (also more conformant to what the Single Unix Specification says). - Make the IA64 clock_gettime fastcall fall back on negative clock numbers instead of returning CLOCK_REALTIME.
