o Make CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION the default for those systems where firmware or host OS require it. o Check earlier for DVH aka SGI partitions to avoid confusing them with an MSDOS partition. o Detect RAID partitions on IRIX volumes. Caveat: this uses one of the officially unused partition types which are not recogniced by the IRIX or RISC/os tools. Doesn't seem to matter but should be mentioned for completeness. Signed-off-by:

Update the generic MIPS code. Highlights are oprofile for MIPS, initially for the PMC-Sierra RM9000. We're also taking a significantly more aggressive approach to the TLB exception handlers which now are runtime generated and provide an upto 20% speedup on certain micro benchmarks. From: Yoichi Yuasa <yuasa@hh.iij4u.or.jp> This patch had fixed restore_sigcontext about MIPS. Signed-off-by:

pSeries p615 happens to have a bus hierarchy where the IDE controller for the built-in CD is connected directly to the PHB without an intermediate EADS bridge. The new iommu/bus setup code assumed that all systems with EADS will have all devices under them, so this resulted in the IDE controller not having an iommu table allocated. To avoid this, always allocate a small table at the PHB level. It will never be used for regular devices, and it's allocated out of the 256MB that we previously skipped. Signed-off-by:

Looks like a build break on iSeries after the xmon-dabr patch: arch/ppc64/xmon/xmon.c:632: undefined reference to `.plpar_hcall_norets' Since iSeries cannot use xmon, a simple fix is to turn it off. Signed-off-by:

The Pegasos machines have the VIA IDE controller configured in a strange way by the firmware. It claims to be fully native, but is actually routed to legacy irqs 14 and 15. This patch works around that in the driver. In the future, I'll try to do an ifdef-less patch by detecting that setup from the chip, and using the new pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() in that case, but I don't have proper HW infos. This patch is good enough in the meantime, I'll come up with a better one later eventually. Signed-off-by:

This patch updates the PowerMac sleep support. The ability to sleep is now broken into 2 different flags, one, "may sleep" is set for all motherboards that we know how to put to sleep and wakeup. It gets turned into "can sleep" upon a call from the video driver indicating the ability to wakeup the video card. This doesn't deal with head-less machines, but this can be improved later. It also adds better cache flush code, which improves stability with cpufreq as well as sleep. This patch actually breaks sleep support until the video drivers for the affected machines have been updated. This will come as separate patches. Signed-off-by:

__get_free_pages() calls alloc_pages, finds the page_address() and throws away the struct page *. Slab then calls virt_to_page to get it back again. Much more efficient for slab to call alloc_pages itself, as well as making the NUMA and non-NUMA cases more similarr to each other. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new function alloc_zeroed_user_highpage that is then used in the anonymous page fault handler and in the COW code to allocate zeroed pages. The function can be defined per arch to setup special processing for user pages by defining __HAVE_ARCH_ALLOC_ZEROED_USER_PAGE. For arches that do not need to do special things for user pages, alloc_zeroed_user_highpage is defined to simply do alloc_page_vma(GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_ZERO, vma, vaddr) This patch needs to update a number of archs. Wish there was a better way to do this. Signed-off-by:

Convert the unsafe signed (16bit) used_math to a safe and optimal PF_USED_MATH I might have broken arm, see the very first change in the patch to asm-offsets.c, rest looks ok at first glance. If you want used_math to return 0 or 1 (instead of 0 or PF_USED_MATH), just s/!!// in the below patch and place !! in sched.h::*used_math() accordingly after applying the patch, it should work just fine. Using !! only when necessary as the below is optimal. From: Yoichi Yuasa <yuasa@hh.iij4u.or.jp> This patch had fixed restore_sigcontext/restore_sigcontext32 about MIPS. Signed-off-by:

Fix several oom killer bugs, most important avoid spurious oom kills badness algorithm tweaked by Thomas Gleixner to deal with fork bombs This is the core of the oom-killer fixes I developed partly taking the idea from Thomas's patches of getting feedback from the exit path, plus I moved the oom killer into page_alloc.c as it should to be able to check the watermarks before killing more stuff. This also tweaks the badness to take thread bombs more into account (that change to badness is from Thomas, from my part I'd rather rewrite badness from scratch instead, but that's an orthgonal issue ;). With this applied the oom killer is very sane, no more 5 sec waits and suprious oom kills. Signed-off-by:

With <garloff@suse.de> This is protect-pids, a patch to allow the admin to tune the oom killer. The tweak is inherited between parent and child so it's easy to write a wrapper for complex apps. I made used_math a char at the light of later patches. Current patch breaks alpha, but future patches will fix it. Signed-off-by:

With Suparna Bhattacharya <suparna@in.ibm.com> I was running a random system call generator against mainline the other day and got this bug report about AIO in dmesg: kernel BUG at fs/aio.c:1249! Each ioctx structure has a "users" field that acts as a reference counter for the ioctx, and a "dead" flag that seems to indicate that the ioctx isn't associated with any particular list of IO requests. The problem, then, lies in aio.c:1247. The io_destroy function checks the (old) value of the dead flag--if it's false (i.e. the ioctx is alive), then the function calls put_ioctx to decrease the reference count on the assumption that the ioctx is no longer associated with any requests. Later, it calls put_ioctx again, on the assumption that someone called lookup_ioctx to perform some operation at some point. This BUG is caused by the reference counts being off. The testcase that I provided looks for a chunk of user memory that's read-only and passes that to the sys_io_setup syscall. sys_io_setup checks that the pointer is readable, creates the ioctx and then tries to write the ioctx handle back to userland. This is where the problems start to surface. Since the pointer points to a non-writable region of memory, the write fails. The syscall handler then destroys the ioctx. The dead flag is zero, so io_destroy calls put_ioctx...but wait! Nobody ever put the ioctx into a request list. The ioctx is alive but not in a list, yet the io_destroy code assumes that being alive implies being in a request list somewhere. Hence, calling put_ioctx is bogus; the reference count becomes 0, and the ioctx is freed. Worse yet, put_ioctx is called again (on a freed pointer!) to clear up the lookup_ioctx that never happened. put_ioctx sees that the reference count has become negative and BUGs. Suparna's patch simply takes that additional ref so that io_destroy() will dtrt. Signed-off-by:
