This patch speeds up scrolling of tdfxfb by maximizing var->yres_virtual so tdfxfb uses SCROLL_PAN_MOVE instead of SCROLL_REDRAW. This is true whether CONFIG_FB_3DFX_ACCEL is set or not. This problem was reported by Paolo Ornati <ornati@fastwebnet.it> who also made substantial contributions to solve this problem. This patch also fixes compile errors when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_ACCEL is false. Signed-off-by:

The following patch switches arch/ppc/boot over from using its own version of zlib to the code found under lib/zlib_inflate. In conjunction with the previous two patches, the size of the resulting images isn't noticably different. But this does have the advantage of removing another copy of zlib from the kernel, and I believe this allows for lib/inflate.c to go away (as that's basically what ppc used to use). Signed-off-by:

The different stack frame layout for packed stacks broke cpu hotplug. Recreate the initial stack frame of the idle thread for offline cpus coming back online. Reenable interrupts after loading the initial registers. In addition this patch contains two more bug fixes: a typo for 64 bit (__SMALL_STACK_SIZE vs. __SMALL_STACK) and show_trace didn't show a trace if for task == NULL. Signed-off-by:

Currently the BKL is used to synchronize access to ioctl32_hash_table in fs/compat.c. It seems that an rwsem would be more appropriate, since this would allow multiple lookups to occur in parallel (and also serve the general good of minimizing use of the BKL). I added lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around the call to t->handler when a compatibility handler is found in compat_sys_ioctl() to preserve the expectation that the BKL will be held during driver ioctl operations. It should be safe to do lock_kernel() while holding ioctl32_sem because of the magic BKL sleep semantics. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds common nls_tolower, nls_toupper and nls_strnicmp helpers to nls.h and uses them in various filesystems instead of local duplicates. The situation for ncpfs isn't as nice as it allows to compile without nls support even if the kernel has CONFIG_NLS set, so we need wrappers there. Signed-off-by:

The kernel contains an optimization that skips the linked list walk in get_tgid_list for the common case of sequential accesses. Unfortunately the optimization is buggy (missing NULL pointer check for the result of find_task_by_pid) and broken (actually - broken twice: the tgid value that is stored in f_version is always 0 because tgid is overwritten when the string is created and additionally the common case is not filldir < 0, it's running out of nr_tgids). The attached patch fixes these bugs.

Fix the do_generic_file_read()-reads-one-page-too-many-bug for the fifth time. This patch combines the best features from Nick's patch and also makes index and end_index consistent. (i.e index 'n' covers n*PAGE_SIZE to ((n+1)PAGE_SIZE)-1. I did not feel comfortable with the way index and end_index represented different ranges. It was like comparing apples with oranges.

On x86 and x86-64, setting up to run a signal handler clears the single-step bit (TF) in the processor flags before starting the handler. This makes sense when a process is handling its own SIGTRAPs. But when TF is set because PTRACE_SINGLESTEP was used, and that call specified a handled signal so the handler setup is happening, it doesn't make so much sense. When the debugger stops to show you a signal about to be delivered, and that signal should be handled, and then you do step or stepi, you expect to see the signal handler code. In fact, the signal handler runs to completion and then you see the single-step trap at the resumed code instead of seeing the handler. This patch changes signal handler setup so that when TF is set and the thread is under ptrace control, it synthesizes a single-step trap after setting up the PC and registers to start the handler. This makes that PTRACE_SINGLESTEP not strictly a "step", since it actually runs no user instructions at all. But it is definitely what a debugger user wants, so that single-stepping always stops and shows each and every instruction before it gets executed. Signed-off-by:

In 2.4, strace will show you all bogus system calls a process tries. In 2.6, it only shows you stubs < __NR_syscalls, and there is no tracing stop for large bogus system call numbers. I can't see why this was changed, so I am assuming it was accidental. This patch restores the expected behavior that syscall tracing shows every bogus syscall attempt. Signed-off-by:

After my cleanup of the rusage semantics was so quickly taken in by Andrew and Linus without comment, I wonder if I should not have tried to be so accommodating of potential objections as I was. :-) In my original posting, I solicited comment on whether introducing RUSAGE_GROUP as distinct from RUSAGE_SELF was warranted. Note that we've now changed the behavior of the times system call when using CLONE_THREAD, so changing getrusage RUSAGE_SELF to match would be consistent. I think that changing the meaning of the old RUSAGE_SELF value is preferable to introducing the new value for the proper POSIX getrusage behavior. This patch against Linus's current tree dumps RUSAGE_GROUP and makes RUSAGE_SELF have the fixed behavior. If there is interest in having a new explicit interface to sample a single thread's stats alone, then I think that would be better done by introducing a new value for RUSAGE_THREAD. This is trivial to implement, but I won't offer patches bloating the interface if noone is actually interested in using it. Signed-off-by:

This makes any ptrace operation that finds the target in TASK_STOPPED state morph it into TASK_TRACED state before doing anything. This necessitates reverting the last_siginfo accesses to check instead of assume last_siginfo is set, since it's no longer impossible to be in TASK_TRACED without being stopped in ptrace_stop (though there are no associated races to worry about).

This adds a new state TASK_TRACED that is used in place of TASK_STOPPED when a thread stops because it is ptraced. Now ptrace operations are only permitted when the target is in TASK_TRACED state, not in TASK_STOPPED. This means that if a process is stopped normally by a job control signal and then you PTRACE_ATTACH to it, you will have to send it a SIGCONT before you can do any ptrace operations on it. (The SIGCONT will be reported to ptrace and then you can discard it instead of passing it through when you call PTRACE_CONT et al.) If a traced child gets orphaned while in TASK_TRACED state, it morphs into TASK_STOPPED state. This makes it again possible to resume or destroy the process with SIGCONT or SIGKILL. All non-signal tracing stops should now be done via ptrace_notify. I've updated the syscall tracing code in several architectures to do this instead of replicating the work by hand. I also fixed several that were unnecessarily repeating some of the checks in ptrace_check_attach. Calling ptrace_check_attach alone is sufficient, and the old checks repeated before are now incorrect, not just superfluous. I've closed a race in ptrace_check_attach. With this, we should have a robust guarantee that when ptrace starts operating, the task will be in TASK_TRACED state and won't come out of it. This is because the only way to resume from TASK_TRACED is via ptrace operations, and only the one parent thread attached as the tracer can do those. This patch also cleans up the do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop code so that the dead and stopped cases are completely disjoint. The notify_parent function is gone. Signed-off-by:

Since the irq handling rework in 2.5 lots of code in the individual <asm/hardirq.h> files is the same. This patch moves that common code to <linux/hardirq.h>. The following differences existed: - alpha, m68k, m68knommu and v850 were missing the ~PREEMPT_ACTIVE masking in the CONFIG_PREEMPT case of in_atomic(). These architectures don't support CONFIG_PREEMPT else this would have been an easily-spottbale bug - S390 didn't provide synchronize_irq as it doesn't fit into their I/O model. They now get a spurious prototype/macro - ppc added a new preemptible() macro that is provided for all architectures now. Most drivers were using <linux/interrupt.h> as they should, but a few drivers and lots of architecture code has been updated to use <linux/hardirq.h> instead of <asm/hardirq.h> Signed-off-by:

This cleans up the x86-64 lost tick handling and fixes some issues: First it moves that code into an own function. The newer could would become very noisy when the machine loses timer ticks regularly. This happens often on some laptops etc. during the acpi ec access (nothing much can be really done about it) This patch prints the warnings only once. It also fixes the logic on when to ask cpufreq for a new estimate. And it implements timer fallback to HPET when there are really lots of lost ticks. This is following i386. PIT fallback isn't implemented right now though, but I hope we don't need this. Signed-off-by:

Tested on pSeries and iSeries. Some future plans for VSID allocation may mean we have to take this out again, but that's a while off yet, and in the meantime it's a significant speedup. This patch makes the PPC64 SLB miss handler run in real mode (i.e. MMU off) for it's whole duration, on pSeries machines. Avoiding the rfid used to turn relocation on saves some 70-80 cycles on Power4 and Power5. Not having to save and restore SRR0 and SRR1 saves a few more, and means we don't need an extra save slot for r3. Overall there's around a 27% speedup on Power4. Signed-off-by:

Switch the NUMA API to use compat_get_bitmap/compat_put_bitmap. In order to use compat_alloc_userspace instead of set_fs tricks, we have to do a few copies. This is what we are currently using on ppc64 but are willing to entertain the idea of going to a 32bit bitmap, especially considering how much hoops we have to go through to get it right in this patch.
