- fixes crashes when changing video modes/switching away from X on ppc - fixes random crashes when scrolling in e.g. vi - improves on the NV30 support - reintroduces noaccel (not perfect but helps a lot for debugging) - converts MODULE_PARM to module_param - cleans up some printks, FB_ACCELF_TEXT cruft Most of this is taken from either XFree86 4.3 or BenH's 2.4 ppc tree. From: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> - adjust pixmap->scan_align to 1 and use cfb_* drawing functions if FBINFO_HWACCEL_DISABLED is set Signed-off-by:

Nothing good will happen if we try to ioremap and use a zero-sized frame buffer. I observed this problem on an ia64 sx1000 box, where the BIOS doesn't run the option ROM. If we try to continue, radeonfb just gets hopelessly confused because the card isn't initialized correctly. Signed-off-by:

kswapd is still sometimes going into loops. The problem seemed to be happening on systems with zero inactive pages in ZONE_DMA, so pages_scanned could never be increased, all_unreclaimable would never be set, and kswapd would never break. So change pages_scanned to be a count of the number of _active_ list pages scanned rather than inactive. This has been reported to solve the problems. This is not subject to the reverse problem where one might have zero active list pages, because inactive pages are either be reclaimed, or put onto the active list. I think it is reasonable to have all_unreclaimed trigger based on the amount of active list scanning rather than inactive. Signed-off-by:

This is an update/resync of kraxel's mconsole_proc rewrite from about two months ago and IMO it should be merged as-is (yes, it means /proc has to be mounted but the current code crashes so this is better IMO). Signed-off-by:

pm_access does nothing these days, and looks ugly. This removes it from vt.c. That actually looks like last user in the tree; it should be possible to kill pm_access completely after 2.6.10. Ouch and add warning to obsolete pm.txt file. Signed-off-by:

This preserves the ioreadX() == inX() semantics (same as i386), since it's not clear that the speedup of omitting the mf.a for port operations is worth the risk of breaking drivers. Signed-off-by:

Forthcoming IBM boxes will be using Nocona and/or Opteron chips in clustered mode to get beyond 8 CPUs. In fact, there are plans to try for 128 CPUs when the Tulsa chip comes out. Thus, there are a fair number of signed vs. unsigned changes in the patch. Thanks to the HPET timer and some HW changes, I've been able to remove the MPS/ACPI string comparisons from the detection code. Instead, it scans bios_cpu_apicid and uses simple heuristics to select the correct IRQ delivery mode. No need for a config option. Hurrah! Likewise, I've been able to avoid the preprocessor tricks that the i386 sub-arch needed to build with one or more sub-arches. Reluctantly-Acked-by:

hpet hardware seems to need a little prodding during resume for it to start sending the timer interupts again. Attached patch does it for both i386 and x86_64. Makefile change below: Right now suspend-resume ordering of system devices depends on their order of linking. It is ugly. But, thats the way it works currently. And we want timer device to resume before PIC. Signed-off-by:

Rework the ppc64 hugepage code. Instead of using specially marked pmd entries in the normal pagetables to represent hugepages, use normal pte_t entries, in a special set of pagetables used for hugepages only. Using pte_t instead of a special hugepte_t makes the code more similar to that for other architecturess, allowing more possibilities for consolidating the hugepage code. Using independent pagetables for the hugepages is also a prerequisite for moving the hugepages into their own region well outside the normal user address space. The restrictions imposed by the powerpc mmu's segment design mean we probably want to do that in the fairly near future. Signed-off-by:

This patch is from Nathan Lynch <nathanl@austin.ibm.com>. The NUMA properties of all "possible" cpus are not necessarily available at boot time on ppc64 LPAR. Only the properties for present cpus are known. This patch modifies the ppc64 numa code to map a cpu to its node right before it is brought up -- this means that secondary cpus are now mapped to their nodes during smp_init(). Cpus are removed from their nodes after they have gone offline. Also some minor cleanups: - Stash the "minimum common depth" in a global at boot time, so we don't have to rediscover it every time something changes. - Remove unnecessary variable from of_get_associativity() which is accessed while possibly uninitialized. - Remove the cpu portion from dump_numa_topology() since it will show only the boot cpu now. We could display this information from smp_cpus_done() if necessary. Signed-off-by:

This patch by Kaigai Kohei fixes a bug in the SELinux sidtab code, where we do a spin_unlock_irq() while nested under another irq lock, which enables interrupts and allows a deadlock to happen: sidtab_set() is called between POLICY_WRLOCK and POLICY_WRUNLOCK in services.c:1092. sidtab_set() uses SIDTAB_LOCK()/SIDTAB_UNLOCK(), but SIDTAB_UNLOCK() enables any interruptions because it's defined as spin_unlock_irq(). If an interruption occurs between SIDTAB_UNLOCK() and POLICY_WRUNLOCK, and interruption context try to hold the POLICY_RDLOCK, then a deadlock happen in the result. The solution is to save & restore flags on the inner lock, per the patch below. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes and simplifies locking in the SELiunux netif cache. An old problem (which I forgot about) is fixed where a netif lookup can be followed by a preemption, causing a race against sel_netif_put(). Kaigai Kohei discovered a problem where netif lookups were also not protected against races with sel_netif_flush(). The code has now been reworked to fix these problems, eliminate the refcounting and remove atomic operations entirely from the read path (generally making better use of RCU). The avc entry ref has been removed as part of this simplification in anticipation of an RCU scalability patch which removes them in general. Signed-off-by:

CRIS does not demand alignment, so PageAnon's PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit got mixed up with the low bit of the struct address_space *mapping pointer. Patch based on that from Mikael Starvik, but moved the alignment to the declaration of struct address_space itself, and align to sizeof(long) so it's well-aligned on all architectures. Signed-off-by:

High latency observed when deleting a large video file from tmpfs. shmem_truncate held info->lock (easily dropped) and nested atomic kmaps (more awkward to handle, since it's structured to keep them) while scanning the many pages of its swap vector. Now be prepared to cond_resched every 64 ops (but scan an empty page in one go). shmem_free_pages to free a linked list of empty swap vector pages at the end (cond_resched every 64): could still free them one by one in the main loop, but this foreshadows scalability changes - which will want to use RCU on them, only freeing the pages after a grace period.

CommitLimit was a good addition to /proc/meminfo, but we don't usually show both what's used and what's free: don't waste lines of screenspace, omit CommitAvail, let the user do the arithmetic as with all the others.

The sixth "data" field of /proc/$pid/statm was sometimes negative: text is a subset of shared_vm, and so was subtracted twice from total_vm. Signed-off-by:

The third "shared" field of /proc/$pid/statm in 2.4 was a count of pages in the mm whose page_count is more than 1 (oddly, including pages shared just with swapcache). That's too costly to calculate each time, so 2.6 changed it to the total file-backed extent. But Andrea knows apps and users surprised when (rss - shared) goes negative: we need to provide an rss-like statistic, close to the 2.4 interpretation. Something that's quick and easy to maintain accurately is mm->anon_rss, the count of anonymous pages in the mm. Then shared = rss - anon_rss gives a pretty good and meaningful approximation to 2.4's intention: wli confirms that this will be useful to Oracle too. Where to show it? I think it's best to treat this as a bugfix and show it in the third field of /proc/$pid/statm, after resident, as before - there's no evidence that the total file-backed extent was found useful. Albert would like other fields to revert to page counts, but that's a lot harder: if mprotect can change the category of a page, then it can't be accounted as simply as this. Only go that route if real need shown. Signed-off-by:

The procfs shared_vm accounting in do_mmap_pgoff didn't balance with munmap in the case of shared anonymous: because file comes in NULL, whereas vm_file gets set at the end by shmem_zero_setup. Update file; and update vm_flags (a driver is likely to add VM_IO or VM_RESERVED, modifying reserved_vm); and update pgoff (doesn't affect procfs accounting, but could affect vma_merge - though at present all drivers which modify vm_pgoff set a VM_SPECIAL which prevents merging). And do that __vm_stat_account before advancing to make_pages_present. Signed-off-by:

The NUMA policy for shared memory or tmpfs page allocation was protected by a semaphore. It helps to improve scalability if we change that to a spinlock (and there's only one place that needs to drop and reacquire). Oh, and don't even bother to get the spinlock while the tree is empty. Acked-by:

During system boot many probes, etc. will generate upcalls to userspace via call_usermodehelper(). This has the effect of calling execve() before the key subsystem has been initialized, and thus Oopsing on a NULL key_jar during key_alloc(). Move key_init to security_initcall so that it's called along with other security initialization routines which have similar requirements. Signed-off-by:
