Fixes bugzilla bug #323.

My printf manpage says: z A following integer conversion corresponds to a size_t or ssize_t argument. (Linux libc5 has Z with this meaning. Don't use it.) And the opengroup spec says z Specifies that a following d , i , o , u , x , or X conversion specifier applies to a size_t or the corresponding signed integer type argument; or that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a signed integer type corresponding to a size_t argument. yet our vsnprintf implementation has /* 'z' support added 23/7/1999 S.H. */ /* 'z' changed to 'Z' --davidm 1/25/99 */ I guess the path of least surprise is to support both. gcc-3.2.1 doesn't seem to care.

The return type of sizeof() is size_t. On many architectrues size_t is unsigned long, and may not be printed with %d. Use %Zu instead.

Need to reenable interrupts around the call to scsi_register(), which blocks.

An anonymous fixed mmap with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y will dereference NULL. We recur into the pagefault handler with mmap_sem held and lock up.

Patch from: Peter Waechtler <pwaechtler@mac.com> Addresses BUGME bug #331. "OSS CS4232 nasty spinlock printks on boot" The locking in some OSS modules is really lousy. Because save_flags/cli/restore_flags could be used recursivly - the programmers pushed the locking too far the lower level. Because on ISA cards the register sets are usually multiplexed you had to write to an address latch and then access the data port in an "atomic" manner. I suggest removing the locking from ad_read/ad_write + ad_{enter|leave}_MCE and clamping the locks wherever the functions are called. I hope the attached patch does that correctly. Yes, I don't like all the timeout loops while holding the locks: high chances that a cpu is spinning in interrupt context :(

Patch from: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> Please remember to declare the return-type of syscall stubs as "long". On 64-bit platforms, it's generally necessary to ensure that the entire 64-bit return value is valid (and can be checked against negative values).

Patch from: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> This patch simply fixes the summit subarch to allow summit kernels to boot on normal systems.

Someone typed `config' when they meant `conf'. Also fix a function-defined-but-not-used warning.

This driver is calling down into scsi_register with local interrupts disabled. scsi_register performs blocking allocations, starts kernel threads, etc. slab debugging gets offended by someone performing blocking operations with local interrupts disabled.

Patch from Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> All fs should be using dcache APIs to manipulate dcache hash lists. This is in line with the dcache cleanup patch (dcache_rcu-1) from Maneesh that Linus accepted. This seems like a reasonable cleanup. One change though, we don't need to grab dcache_lock while deleting dentries from the private list and __d_drop() should suffice here.

Patch from Rik van Riel <riel@conectiva.com.br> the following patch, against today's BK tree, fixes a small SMP race in disassociate_ctty. This function gets called from do_exit, without the BKL held. However, it sets the *tty variable before grabbing the bkl, then makes decisions on what the variable was set to before the lock was grabbed, despite the fact that another process could modify its ->tty pointer in this same function.

Patch from Oleg Drokin <green@namesys.com>, Nikita Danilov <Nikita@Namesys.COM> There is no uniprocessor definition of _raw_write_trylock(), so write_trylock() doesn't work on UP.

Make the "duplicate const" warning go away. Arguably a compiler bug...
-
Andrew Morton authored
I have a whole bunch of silly compile warning fixes here, arising from building the kernel for a 64-bit target. Some are trivial, some are genuine printk bugs. assuming dev_t is unsigned generates a warning on ppc64. Cast it.

More bits from Dominik. Most cpufreq drivers (in fact, all except one, longrun) or even most cpu frequency scaling algorithms only offer the CPU to be set to one frequency. In order to offer dynamic frequency scaling, the cpufreq core must be able to tell these drivers of a "target frequency". So these specific drivers will be transformed to offer a "->target" call instead of the existing "->setpolicy" call. For "longrun", all stays the same, though. How to decide what frequency within the CPUfreq policy should be used? That's done using "cpufreq governors". Two are already in this patch -- they're the already existing "powersave" and "performance" which set the frequency statically to the lowest or highest frequency, respectively. At least two more such governors will be ready for addition in the near future, but likely many more as there are various different theories and models about dynamic frequency scaling around. Using such a generic interface as cpufreq offers to scaling governors, these can be tested extensively, and the best one can be selected for each specific use. Basically, it's the following flow graph: CPU can be set to switch independetly | CPU can only be set within specific "limits" | to specific frequencies "CPUfreq policy" consists of frequency limits (policy->{min,max}) and CPUfreq governor to be used / \ / \ / the cpufreq governor decides / (dynamically or statically) / what target_freq to set within / the limits of policy->{min,max} / \ / \ Using the ->setpolicy call, Using the ->target call, the limits and the the frequency closest "policy" is set. to target_freq is set. It is assured that it is within policy->{min,max}

This fixes stack handling in acpi_wakeup.S, and makes stack smaller so that wakeup code actually fits inside memory allocated for it. Plus someone renamed .L1432 to something meaningful.

Andi has asked that I send these straight forward compatibility patches to you and he will fix up any merge problems later. These are the outstanding patches for x86_64 against 2.5.60.

At Linux Conf AU, Willy asked me to send any further parisc compatibility changes directly to you, so this is what I have outstanding. Basically, it is just the uses of compat_sigset_t that seemed to have been missed in the previous merges.

This brings the x86-64 port uptodate in 2.5.60. Unfortunately I cannot test too much because i constantly get deadlocks in exit/wait in initscripts on SMP bootup. The kernel seems to still lose a lot of SIGCHLD. 2.5.59/SMP had the same problem. Uniprocessor and SMP kernel on UP seems to work. This patch only touches x86-64 specific files. It requires a few simple changes to arch independent files that I will send separately. - Fixed a lot of obsolete/misleading configure help texts. - Remove old bootblock disk loader and support fdimage target for syslinux instead (H. Peter Anvin) - Fix potential fpu signal restore problem on 32bit emulation. - Merge with 2.5.60 i386 (hugetlbfs, acpi etc.) - Some fixes for local apic disabled modus. - Beginngs of S3 ACPI wakeup from real-mode (not working yet, don't use) - Beginnings of NUMA/CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM support for AMD K8 (work in progress, port from 2.4): clean up memory mapping at bootup, generalize bootmem etc. - Fix 64bit GS base reload problem and reenable (Karsten Keil) - Fix race with vmalloc accesses from interrupt handlers disturbing page fault/ similar race for the debug handler (thanks to Andrew Morton) - Merge cpu access primitives with i386 - Revert to private module list for now because putting modules nto vmlist triggered too many problems. - Some cleanups, removal of unneeded code. - Let early __get_free_pages see consistent pda - Preempt disabled for now because it is too broken right now - Signal handler fixes - Fix do_gettimeofday to be completely lockless and reenable vsyscalls - Optimize context switch path a bit (should be ported to i386) - Get thread_info via stack for better code - Don't leak pmd pages - Clean up hardcoded task stack sizes.

Since daemonize now blocks all signals, this simplification is trivially correct.
