This patch fixes arch/ppc kernels, at least for prep subarch, after build-id addition. Without this, kernels were 3 times the size and bootloader refused to load them. Now they are back to normal again. Tested only with Roland McGrath's "Use LDFLAGS_MODULE only for .ko links" patch applied - boots and works fine. Signed-off-by:

When a Fn key is used in combination with another key in ADB keyboards it will generate a Fn event and then a second event that can be a different key than pressed (Fn + F1 for instance can generate Fn + brightness down if it's configured like that). This enables the reporting of the Fn key to the input system. As Fn is a dead key for most purposes, it's useful to report it so applications can make use of it. One example is apple_mouse (https://jake.ruivo.org/uinputd/trunk/apple_mouse/) that emulates the second and third keys using a combination of keyboard keys and the mouse button. Other applications may use the KEY_FN as a modifier as well. I've been updating and using this patch for months without problems. Signed-off-by:

Pretty much everyone uses "__attribute__" or "attribute", no one uses "__attribute". This tweaks the three places in asm-powerpc where this comes up. While only asm-powerpc/types.h is interesting (for userspace), I did asm-powerpc/processor.h as well for consistency. Signed-off-by:

Commit 69331af7, "Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console", resulted in printk output prior to the initialization of the mpsc console driver not being printed. That commit causes the mpsc's CON_PRINTBUFFER flag to be cleared since udbg should have printed the previous output. I guess we can no longer ignore udbg. :) This patch provides udbg_putc() and udbg_getc() functions for the Marvell mv64x60 chips. These functions are enabled if an mv64x60 port is to be used as the console as determined from the device tree. Signed-off-by:

This adds the option for the pmac_zilog driver to use the major/minor numbers recently allocated specifically for it (/dev/ttyPZn) instead of the /dev/ttySn numbers. The advantage of doing this is that it allows the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to coexist. The disadvantage of doing this is that it is a user-visible ABI change and it will break existing working setups on powermacs, and could be confusing to users. Signed-off-by:

This patch includes a whole batch of smallish cleanups for drivers/mtd/physmap_of.c. - A bunch of uneeded #includes are removed - We switch to the modern linux/of.h etc. in place of asm/prom.h - Use some helper macros to avoid some ugly inline #ifdefs - A few lines of unreachable code are removed - A number of indentation / line-wrapping fixes - More consistent use of kernel idioms such as if (!p) instead of if (p == NULL) - Clarify some printk()s and other informative strings. - parse_obsolete_partitions() now returns 0 if no partition information is found, instead of returning -ENOENT which the caller had to handle specially. - (the big one) Despite the name, this driver really has nothing to do with drivers/mtd/physmap.c. The fact that the flash chips must be physically direct mapped is a constrant, but doesn't really say anything about the actual purpose of this driver, which is to instantiate MTD devices based on information from the device tree. Therefore the physmap name is replaced everywhere within the file with "of_flash". The file itself and the Kconfig option is not renamed for now (so that the diff is actually a diff). That can come later. Signed-off-by:

Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user mode. This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to possibly have fixed it. Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

This patch fixes a crash caused by an interrupt coming in when an IRQ stack is being torn down. When this happens, handle_signal will loop, setting up the IRQ stack again because the tearing down had finished, and handling whatever signals had come in. However, to_irq_stack returns a mask of pending signals to be handled, plus bit zero is set if the IRQ stack was already active, and thus shouldn't be torn down. This causes a problem because when handle_signal goes around the loop, sig will be zero, and to_irq_stack will duly set bit zero in the returned mask, faking handle_signal into believing that it shouldn't tear down the IRQ stack and return thread_info pointers back to their original values. This will eventually cause a crash, as the IRQ stack thread_info will continue pointing to the original task_struct and an interrupt will look into it after it has been freed. The fix is to stop passing a signal number into to_irq_stack. Rather, the pending signals mask is initialized beforehand with the bit for sig already set. References to sig in to_irq_stack can be replaced with references to the mask. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use UL] Signed-off-by:

This patch proposes fixes to the reference counting of memory policy in the page allocation paths and in show_numa_map(). Extracted from my "Memory Policy Cleanups and Enhancements" series as stand-alone. Shared policy lookup [shmem] has always added a reference to the policy, but this was never unrefed after page allocation or after formatting the numa map data. Default system policy should not require additional ref counting, nor should the current task's task policy. However, show_numa_map() calls get_vma_policy() to examine what may be [likely is] another task's policy. The latter case needs protection against freeing of the policy. This patch adds a reference count to a mempolicy returned by get_vma_policy() when the policy is a vma policy or another task's mempolicy. Again, shared policy is already reference counted on lookup. A matching "unref" [__mpol_free()] is performed in alloc_page_vma() for shared and vma policies, and in show_numa_map() for shared and another task's mempolicy. We can call __mpol_free() directly, saving an admittedly inexpensive inline NULL test, because we know we have a non-NULL policy. Handling policy ref counts for hugepages is a bit trickier. huge_zonelist() returns a zone list that might come from a shared or vma 'BIND policy. In this case, we should hold the reference until after the huge page allocation in dequeue_hugepage(). The patch modifies huge_zonelist() to return a pointer to the mempolicy if it needs to be unref'd after allocation.

It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the put_task_struct(), i.e. MUCH later. On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned. Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e. when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from it during the namespace exiting. The subsequent free_uid() will complete the user_struct destruction. For example simple program #include <sched.h> char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024]; int f(void *foo) { return 0; } int main(void) { clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0); return 0; } run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the kernel immediately. This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing. Signed-off-by:Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by:

The do_split() function for htree dir blocks is intended to split a leaf block to make room for a new entry. It sorts the entries in the original block by hash value, then moves the last half of the entries to the new block - without accounting for how much space this actually moves. (IOW, it moves half of the entry *count* not half of the entry *space*). If by chance we have both large & small entries, and we move only the smallest entries, and we have a large new entry to insert, we may not have created enough space for it. The patch below stores each record size when calculating the dx_map, and then walks the hash-sorted dx_map, calculating how many entries must be moved to more evenly split the existing entries between the old block and the new block, guaranteeing enough space for the new entry. The dx_map "offs" member is reduced to u16 so that the overall map size does not change - it is temporarily stored at the end of the new block, and if it grows too large it may be overwritten. By making offs and size both u16, we won't grow the map size. Also add a few comments to the functions involved. This fixes the testcase reported by hooanon05@yahoo.co.jp on the linux-ext4 list, "ext3 dir_index causes an error" Thanks to Andreas Dilger for discussing the problem & solution with me.

There is still some confusion and disagreement over what this interface should actually do. So it is best that we disable it in 2.6.23 until we get that fully sorted out. (sys_timerfd() was present in 2.6.22 but it was apparently broken, so here we assume that nobody is using it yet).
