Jeff Mahoney authored
The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4 bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type. Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems") previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field. This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change, since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than to the struct as a whole. This is not sufficient to enforce proper behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than one byte. For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary: __get_unaligned_cpu16: ldrh r0, [r0, #0] bx lr Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the proper unaligned access code to be generated: __get_unaligned_cpu16: ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 ldrb r0, [r0, #1] @ zero_extendqisi2 orr r0, r3, r0, asl #8 bx lr Signed-off-by: Will Newton <will.newton@gmail.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When I added led_blink_set I had a typo: the return value of the hw offload is a regular error code that is zero when succesful, and in that case software emulation should not be used, rather than the other way around.

Using TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in balance_dirty_pages() seems wrong. If it's going to do that then it must break out if signal_pending(), otherwise it's pretty much guaranteed to degenerate into a busywait loop. Plus we *do* want these processes to appear in D state and to contribute to load average. So it should be TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. -- Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This happens when __logfs_create() tries to write a new inode to the disk which is full. __logfs_create() associates the transaction pointer with inode. During the logfs_write_inode() function call chain this transaction pointer is moved from inode to page->private using function move_inode_to_page (do_write_inode() -> inode_to_page() -> move_inode_to_page) When the write inode fails, the transaction is aborted and iput is called on the failed inode. During delete_inode the same transaction pointer associated with the page is getting used. Thus causing kernel BUG. The patch checks for error in write_inode() and restores the page->private to NULL.

When correlating ftrace results with /proc/vmstat, I noticed that the reporting scripts value for "pages scanned" differed significantly. Both values were "right" depending on how you look at it. The difference is due to vmstat only counting scanning of the inactive list towards pages scanned. The analysis script for the tracepoint counts active and inactive list yielding a far higher value than vmstat. The resulting scanning/reclaim ratio looks much worse. The tracepoint is ok but this patch updates the reporting script so that the report values for scanned are similar to vmstat.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>
