This was on my TODO list for a while and it turns out someone already fixed the armwaving overcommit mode for the same problem. It is easy to get into a situation where you have no overcommit and nothing can be done because there is no memory to clean up the stable but non-useful state of the machine. The fix is trivial and duplicated from the armwaving overcommit code path. The last 3% of the memory can be claimed by root processes only. It isn't a cure but it does seem to solve the real world problems - at least providing you have enough memory for 3% to be useful 8). Signed-off-by:

This is a minor update for the saa7134 driver. Changes: - i2c cleanups (i2c_add_driver return value, add __init & __exit). - fix radio tuning (last update broke this ...). - adds support for new tv cards. - add config info for the tda9887 (thus this one depends on the tuner update patch mailed earlier). - add configuration help printk's for some cards, for stuff which can't be autodetected. - make automute switchable via v4l2 API, without driver reload.

The urandom driver returns the same thing after every boot. The urandom pool is only cleared, and not initialized, and because there is nothing in the primary pool, the reseeding is not successful. The solution is also the same, initialize not just the primary and secondary, but also the urandom pool. Signed-off-by:

The last parameter of proc_symlink is usually a "const char *", but the stub in <linux/proc_fs.h> for CONFIG_PROC_FS=n omits the const and makes its last parameter a "char *". This causes a warning about discarding qualifiers for any code that passes something const for that last parameter. This patch fixes that up and also, for neatness's sake, makes the stub for create_proc_read_entry() match the usual prototype more exactly (use read_proc_t rather than the underlying function pointer type).

The following patch modifies the CS89x0 driver to work on Intel's IXDP2401 and IXDP2801 (Intel ARm/XScale based) platforms: - The main change requried is that the IXDP2x01 boards have the chip connected through a CPLD so all registers appear at dword-aligned addresses. A macro in the header adjusts the register offsets appropriately. - The boards do not have ISA, so we need to explicitly check for IXDP2X01 in Kconfig. - There is what I believe is a bug in the driver as it currently only asks for the signature if ioaddr & 1 is set but then reads and checks against the expected signature even when !(ioaddr & 1). This causes the driver to not load on the IXDP2x01 since our ioaddr does not have bit 1 set. - #ifdef out some bits of code that assume the chip is really sitting on an ISA bus. The main IXDP2x01 support will be coming in through rmk's tree at a later date when all the drivers are merged upstream. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes the argument length checking in sched_setaffinity. Previously it would error out when the length passed was smaller than sizeof(cpumask_t). And any bits beyond cpumask_s would be silently ignored. First this assumes that the user application knows the size of cpumask_t, which should be kernel internal. When you increase cpumask_t old applications break and there is no good way for the application to find out the cpumask_t size the kernel uses. This patch changes it to do similar checking to the NUMA API calls: - Any length is ok as long as all online CPUs are covered (this could still cause application breakage with more CPUs, but there is no good way around it) - When the user passes more than cpumask_t bytes the excess bytes are checked to be zero.

This patch increases some hardcoded limits people have already run into or plan to go towards eventually. Increase max MP busses on x86-64. Needed for some machines. Suggested by Andrew Chen and James Cleverdon. MAX_IRQ_SOURCES kept at 256 for now, matching i386. Increase MAX_IO_APICS to 32 following i386. Signed-off-by:

Following the CPUID extensions and APIC-ID setup presented by Richard Brunner at Kernel Summit. Without this the kernel's node discovery would assign the wrong nodes on dual core systems and cause performance degradation. Only handles power of two cored CPUs, others will be ignored. /proc/cpuinfo has a new field cpu cores: <number of CPU cores> and also show the other core as HT sibling (this is needed to make old CPU based license managers to count one CPU package as only one physical CPU) FIXME this currently misses the disable code for SMT idle. That's because 2.6.9rc1-bk6 removed the arch hooks need for that. Needs to be readded later. Signed-off-by:

Instead of statically allocating the NUMA node structures, do it at runtime with node local memory where possible. With NR_CPUS=128 we had over 800kB of memory allocated before this patch, now we allocate only as many nodes as the machine requires. We have to do some fancy footwork in do_init_bootmem since we use both the LMB allocator and the bootmem allocator at the same time. The problem has always been there although I only recently found a test case that hit it. Wrap that logic in careful_allocation which uses the LMB allocator then falls back to the bootmem allocator if required. Now alloc_bootmem on a node with no memory doesnt panic, we dont need the hack in paging_init so remove it. Signed-off-by:

On some machines we would print hundreds of lines of NUMA debug output. The following patch cleans it up so we only print a summary of cpus and memory vs nodes: Node 0 CPUs: 0-1 Node 1 CPUs: 16-17 Node 2 CPUs: 32-33 Node 3 CPUs: 48-49 Node 0 Memory: 0x0-0x400000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x400000000-0x800000000 I lifted the code to do this out of xmon.

Implement the HCALLs to do more than one TCE setup or invalidation at a time on pSeries LPAR. Previous implementation did one hypervisor call per setup or teardown, resulting in significant overhead. A simple test of "time dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=128k" shows the amount of system time go down by about 5% by using the multi-tce calls. Signed-off-by:

ppc64 has constraints on the mixing of small and large pages, such that they cannot be mixed in the same 256Mb segment. This patch provides an architecture specific arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() which implements these contraints. Signed-off-by:

Andy Whitcroft authored
Recent patches introduced a top down user process address space allocation policy; further patches enable this for ppc64. Although these work correctly for normal maps, the topdown algorithm does not take into account stringent mixing constraints for small and large pages on this architecture. These patches introduce a ppc64 specific arch_get_unused_area_topdown() variant. The first introduces infrastructure to allow replacement of the generic arch_get_unused_area_topdown() and the second utilises this infrastructure. In this patch I have followed the pattern set by the arch_get_unused_area() using HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA_TOPDOWN to be consistent. However, it would also be possible to simply have a ppc64_get_unused_area_topdown() in the arch/ppc64/mm/mmap.c or to use weak bindings. This patch: Allow an architecture to override the default definition of arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(). Signed-off-by:

This patch adds explicit checking for EEH slot isolation events into the PCI config space read path. The change itself would have been minor, except that pci config reads don't have a pointer to a struct pci_dev. Thus, I had to restructure the eeh code to accomodate this, which seems to be a good thing anyway, making it a tad cleaner. Signed-off-by:

This has been given basic testing on Power4 pSeries and iSeries machines. At present, the SLB miss handler has to check the SLB slot it is about to use to ensure that it does not contain the SLBE for the current kernel stack - throwing out the SLBE for the kernel stack can trigger the "megabug": we have no SLBE for the stack, but we don't fault immediately because we have an ERAT entry for it. The ERAT entry is then lost due to a tlbie on another CPU during the unrecoverable section of the exception return path. This patch implements a different approach - with this patch SLB slot 2 always (well, nearly always) contains an SLBE for the stack. This slot is never cast out by the normal SLB miss path. On context switch, an SLBE for the new stack is pinned into this slot, unless the new stack is the the bolted segment. For iSeries we need a special workaround because there is no way of ensuring the stack SLBE is preserved an a shared processor switch. So, we still need to handle taking an SLB miss on the stack, in which case we must make sure it is loaded into slot 2, rather than using the normal round-robin. This approach shaves a few ns off the slb miss time (on pSeries), but more importantly makes it easier to experiment with different SLB castout aporoaches without worrying about reinstating the megabug.

... but a better solution should probably be found, that's saved_auxv in struct mm_struct is ... hrm... disgusting at least ;) So the problem is that we currently do unsigned long saved_auxv[40]; That is we assume that all archs will have an AUXV entry of no more than 2 unsigned longs and we'll have no more than 20 entries in the table. Unfortunately, this is wrong. PPC/PPC64 adds 5 platform entries. then we add 14 in the common code, and then we have if (k_platform) { NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_PLATFORM, (elf_addr_t)(unsigned long)u_platform); } if (bprm->interp_flags & BINPRM_FLAGS_EXECFD) { NEW_AUX_ENT(AT_EXECFD, (elf_addr_t) bprm->interp_data); } which may add a 20th entry... which means we are already out of room for the terminating AT_NULL entry... bad bad bad. Now I'm adding AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to ppc/ppc64 and it breaks all the time. The quick fix is to bump the number of entries in struct mm_struct to 42, though that's worth a big BOLD comment in binfmt_elf in case anybody adds a new entry in there. (Patch below). I wonder if we shouldn't add a ARCH_MAX_AUXV_ENTRIES macro to the asm-arch/elf.h though to get the max amount of entry the arch may add to the normal count, and have the mm struct array use that plus the number of "normal" entries... This patch increase the max amount of auxv entries in struct mm_struct to 42 so that ppc & ppc64 don't get a chance to blow the array up.

I've been hunting down a bug affecting IBM x440/x445 systems where the floppy driver would get spurious interrupts and would not initialize properly. After digging James Cleverdon and Bill Irwin pointed out that target_cpus() is routing the interrupts to the clustered apic broadcast mask using destFixed deliver mode. This was causing multiple interrupts to show up, breaking the floppy init code. This fix simply changes the delivery mode to dest_LowestPrio and initially routes interrupts to the first cpu to resolve this issue. Signed-off-by:

sound/core/pcm_native.c was assuming that all architectures implement io_remap_page_range() in the same way. They don't, so the sparc64 build broke. mmap callback is added to PCM ops.
