Little fix for error paths in this code. - Some bug come from conversion to os-Linux (open() doesn't follow the kernel -errno return convention, while the old code called os_open_file() which followed it). This caused the wrong return code to be printed. - Then be more precise about what happened and do some whitespace fixes. Signed-off-by:

Make sparse checker work for userspace files - it normally gets -nostdinc separately, so avoid having it for userspace files. Also, add -D$(SUBARCH) for multiarch hosts (i.e. AMD64 with compatibility headers). It works, the only problem is a bit of bogus warnings for system headers, but they're not too many. Signed-off-by:

Noticed this for a compilation-time warning, so I'm fixing it even for TT mode - this is not put_user, but copy_to_user, so we need a pointer to sp, not sp itself (we're trying to write the word pointed to by the "sp" var.). Signed-off-by:

- Correct the layout of all header versions - make all them well-specified for any external event. As we don't have 1-byte or 2-byte wide fields, the 32-bit layout (historical one) has no extra padding, so we can safely add __attribute__((packed)). - Add detection and reading of the broken 64-bit COW format which has been around for a while - to allow safe migration to the correct 32-bit format. Safe detection is possible, thanks to some luck with the existing format, and it works in practice. Signed-off-by:

This is the minimal fix to make 64-bit UML binaries create 32-bit compatible COW files and read them. I've indeed tested that current code doesn't do this - the code gets SIGFPE for a division by a value read at the wrong place, where 0 is found. Signed-off-by:

Change memory hotplug to use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC, so that it will grab memory without sleeping, but doesn't try to use the emergency pools. A small list initialization suggested by Daniel Phillips - don't initialize lists which are just about to be list_add-ed. Signed-off-by:

I would like to thank NIIBE Yutaka for his reporting about the m32r kernel's security problem in {get,put}_user macros.

This patch fixes a boot problem of the m32r SMP kernel 2.6.16-rc1-mm3 or later. In this patch, cpu_possible_map is statically initialized, and cpu_present_map is also copied from cpu_possible_map in smp_prepare_cpus(), because the m32r architecture has not supported CPU hotplug yet. Signed-off-by:

I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20 (dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors). The first is the kernel OOPSing because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the CPU information. The other is that only one processor was being brought up. I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems. The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures. The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c. In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources, hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU. In the same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed CPU. cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards. The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is #define'd to be cpu_present_mask. Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug; - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does. Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory. Signed-off-by:

John Z. Bohach <jzb@aexorsyst.com> found this bug: If the board has more than 32 PCI busses on it, the mptable bus array will overwrite its bounds for the PCI busses, and stomp on anything that's after it. Prevent possible table overflow and unknown data corruption. Code is in an __init section so it will be discarded after init. Signed-off-by:

Switching to automatic bigsmp causes a misleading error message, that more then 8 cpus are detected, and user needs to select either X86_GENERICARCH or X86_BIGSMP to handle. Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming up. [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 .. 255 cpus] [default is X86_PC, that uses logical flat mode up to 8 CPUs max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled. It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug code for i386. Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled. In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance. We will switch to bigsmp default sometime soon, when we get to work it again. Signed-off-by:

For some architectures, a few syscalls are not linked in noMMU mode. In that case, the MMU depending syscalls are needed to be defined as 'cond_syscall'. For example, ARM architecture selectively links sys_mlock by the mode configuration. In case of FRV, it has been managed by #ifdef CONFIG_MMU macro in arch/frv/kernel/entry.S. However these conditional macros are just duplicates if they were defined as cond_syscall. Compilation test is done with FRV toolchains for both of MMU and noMMU mode. Signed-off-by:

These patches are an enhancement of OVERCOMMIT_GUESS algorithm in __vm_enough_memory(). - why the kernel needed patching When the kernel can't allocate anonymous pages in practice, currnet OVERCOMMIT_GUESS could return success. This implementation might be the cause of oom kill in memory pressure situation. If the Linux runs with page reservation features like /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio and without swap region, I think the oom kill occurs easily. - the overall design approach in the patch When the OVERCOMMET_GUESS algorithm calculates number of free pages, the reserved free pages are regarded as non-free pages. This change helps to avoid the pitfall that the number of free pages become less than the number which the kernel tries to keep free. - testing results I tested the patches using my test kernel module. If the patches aren't applied to the kernel, __vm_enough_memory() returns success in the situation but autual page allocation is failed. On the other hand, if the patches are applied to the kernel, memory allocation failure is avoided since __vm_enough_memory() returns failure in the situation. I checked that on i386 SMP 16GB memory machine. I haven't tested on nommu environment currently. This patch adds totalreserve_pages for __vm_enough_memory(). Calculate_totalreserve_pages() checks maximum lowmem_reserve pages and pages_high in each zone. Finally, the function stores the sum of each zone to totalreserve_pages. The totalreserve_pages is calculated when the VM is initilized. And the variable is updated when /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_raito or /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes are changed. Signed-off-by:

The earlier patch to consolidate mmu and nommu page allocation and refcounting by using compound pages for nommu allocations had a bug: kmalloc slabs who's pages were initially allocated by a non-__GFP_COMP allocator could be passed into mm/nommu.c kmalloc allocations which really wanted __GFP_COMP underlying pages. Fix that by having nommu pass __GFP_COMP to all higher order slab allocations. Signed-off-by:

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu. for sparc64. Signed-off-by:
