For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in vsyscall-page. The current implementation grants this access by explicitly allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas(). With this change, copy_from_user() may be used to read the code. Ptrace access to vsyscall-page for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline. In i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT. To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page. This doesn't hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of stub-vmas. Signed-off-by:

Fix a gcc warning about losing qualifiers to the first argument of copy_from_user. The typeof change for correctness, and fixes a lot of the warnings, but there are some cases where x has some extra qualifiers, like volatile, which copy_from_user can't know about. For these, the void * cast seems to be necessary. Also cleaned up some of the whitespace and got rid of the emacs comment at the bottom. Signed-off-by:

Current timer_pm.c reads I/O port triple times, in order to avoid the bug of chipset. But I/O port is slow. 2.6.16 (pmtmr) Simple gettimeofday: 3.6532 microseconds 2.6.16+patch (pmtmr) Simple gettimeofday: 1.4582 microseconds [if chip is buggy, probably it will be 7us or more in 4.2% of probability.] This patch adds blacklist of buggy chip, and if chip is not buggy, this uses fast normal version instead of slow workaround version. If chip is buggy, warnings "pmtmr is slow". But sounds like there is gray zone. I found the PIIX4 errata, but I couldn't find the ICH4 errata. But some motherboard seems to have problem. So, if we found a ICH4, generate warnings, and use a workaround version. If user's ICH4 is good, the user can specify the "pmtmr_good" boot parameter to use fast version. Acked-by:

<linux@horizon.com> wrote: This is an extremely well-known technique. You can see a similar version that uses a multiply for the last few steps at http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CountBitsSetParallel whch refers to "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron Processors" http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25112.PDF It's section 8.6, "Efficient Implementation of Population-Count Function in 32-bit Mode", pages 179-180. It uses the name that I am more familiar with, "popcount" (population count), although "Hamming weight" also makes sense. Anyway, the proof of correctness proceeds as follows: b = a - ((a >> 1) & 0x55555555); c = (b & 0x33333333) + ((b >> 2) & 0x33333333); d = (c + (c >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f; #if SLOW_MULTIPLY e = d + (d >> 8) f = e + (e >> 16); return f & 63; #else /* Useful if multiply takes at most 4 cycles */ return (d * 0x01010101) >> 24; #endif The input value a can be thought of as 32 1-bit fields each holding their own hamming weight. Now look at it as 16 2-bit fields. Each 2-bit field a1..a0 has the value 2*a1 + a0. This can be converted into the hamming weight of the 2-bit field a1+a0 by subtracting a1. That's what the (a >> 1) & mask subtraction does. Since there can be no borrows, you can just do it all at once. Enumerating the 4 possible cases: 0b00 = 0 -> 0 - 0 = 0 0b01 = 1 -> 1 - 0 = 1 0b10 = 2 -> 2 - 1 = 1 0b11 = 3 -> 3 - 1 = 2 The next step consists of breaking up b (made of 16 2-bir fields) into even and odd halves and adding them into 4-bit fields. Since the largest possible sum is 2+2 = 4, which will not fit into a 4-bit field, the 2-bit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "which will not fit into a 2-bit field" fields have to be masked before they are added. After this point, the masking can be delayed. Each 4-bit field holds a population count from 0..4, taking at most 3 bits. These numbers can be added without overflowing a 4-bit field, so we can compute c + (c >> 4), and only then mask off the unwanted bits. This produces d, a number of 4 8-bit fields, each in the range 0..8. From this point, we can shift and add d multiple times without overflowing an 8-bit field, and only do a final mask at the end. The number to mask with has to be at least 63 (so that 32 on't be truncated), but can also be 128 or 255. The x86 has a special encoding for signed immediate byte values -128..127, so the value of 255 is slower. On other processors, a special "sign extend byte" instruction might be faster. On a processor with fast integer multiplies (Athlon but not P4), you can reduce the final few serially dependent instructions to a single integer multiply. Consider d to be 3 8-bit values d3, d2, d1 and d0, each in the range 0..8. The multiply forms the partial products: d3 d2 d1 d0 d3 d2 d1 d0 d3 d2 d1 d0 + d3 d2 d1 d0 ---------------------- e3 e2 e1 e0 Where e3 = d3 + d2 + d1 + d0. e2, e1 and e0 obviously cannot generate any carries.

The find_*_bit() routines are defined to work on a pointer to unsigned long. But partial_page.bitmap is unsigned int and it is passed to find_*_bit() in arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c. So the compiler will print warnings. This patch changes to unsigned long instead. Signed-off-by:
