Voyager fiddles with current->signal.tty without locking. It turns out that the code in question has already cleared current->signal.tty correctly because daemonize() does the right thing already. The signal handling also appears to be incorrect as it does an unprotected sigfillset that also appears unneccessary. As I don't have a bowtie and am therefore not a qualified voyager maintainer I leave that to James. Signed-off-by:

If we're going to implement smp_call_function_single() on three architecture with the same prototype then it should have a declaration in a non-arch-specific header file. Move it into <linux/smp.h>. Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by:

Stephane Eranian authored
Continiung the series of small patches necessary for the perfmon subsystem, here is a patch that adds support for the smp_call_function_single() function for i386. It exists for almost all other architectures but i386. The perfmon subsystem needs it in one case to free some state on a designated remote CPU. Signed-off-by:

Move the __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP defines to accompany the function definitions. Anything else is just a complete nightmare to track through the 2/3-level paging code, and this caused duplicate definitions to be needed (pte_same), which could have easily been taken care of with the asm-generic pgtable functions.

Parsing generic pgtable.h in assembler is simply crazy. None of this file is needed in assembler code, and C inline functions and structures routine break one or more different compiles. Signed-off-by:

The current VMSPLIT Kconfig option is disabled whenever highmem is on. This is a bit screwy because the people who need to change VMSPLIT the most tend to be the ones with highmem and constrained lowmem. So, remove the highmem dependency. But, re-include the dependency for the "full 1GB of lowmem" option. You can't have the full 1GB of lowmem and highmem because of the need for the vmalloc(), kmap(), etc... areas. I thought there would be at least a bit of tweaking to do to get it to work, but everything seems OK. Boot tested on a 4GB x86 machine, and a 12GB 3-node NUMA-Q: elm3b82:~# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 3695412 kB MemFree: 3659540 kB ...

I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE macro currently in -mm. (in x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch) The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or -mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments" type errors. Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional when compiling assembly files. Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor macro. I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty fscking strange!). With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with both old and new assemblers. ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS, .asciz, "linux") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION, .asciz, "2.6") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION, .asciz, "xen-3.0") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE, .long, __PAGE_OFFSET) Which seems reasonable enough.

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by:

Add a boot parameter to reserve high linear address space for hypervisors. This is necessary to allow dynamically loaded hypervisor modules, which might not happen until userspace is already running, and also provides a useful tool to benchmark the performance impact of reduced lowmem address space.

Add "always lock'd" implementations of set_bit, clear_bit and change_bit and the corresponding test_and_ functions. Also add "always lock'd" implementation of cmpxchg. These give guaranteed strong synchronisation and are required for non-SMP kernels running on an SMP hypervisor. Signed-off-by:

Clean up module initalization for apm.c. I had started by auditing for proper return code checks in misc_register, but I found that in the event of an initalization failure, a proc file and a kernel thread were left hanging out. this patch properly cleans up those loose ends on any initalization failure.

show_registers() tries to dump failing code starting 43 bytes before the offending instruction, but this address can be bad, for example in a device driver where the failing instruction is less than 43 bytes from the start of the driver's code. When that happens, try to dump code starting at the failing instruction instead of printing no code at all. Signed-off-by:

This patchset adds the necessary drivers and infrastructure to access the external flash on the ATSTK1000 board through the MTD subsystem. With this stuff in place, it will be possible to use a jffs2 filesystem stored in the external flash as a root filesystem. It might also be possible to update the boot loader if you drop the write protection of partition 0. As suggested by David Woodhouse, I reworked the patches to use the physmap driver instead of introducing a separate mapping driver for the ATSTK1000. I've also cleaned up the hsmc header by removing useless comments and converting spaces to tabs (my headerfile generator needs some work.) Unfortunately, I couldn't unlock the flash in fixup_use_atmel_lock because the erase regions hadn't been set up yet, so I had to do it from cfi_amdstd_setup instead. This patch: This adds a simple API for configuring the static memory controller along with an implementation for the Atmel HSMC. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000 CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board. AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures. The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from Atmel. Full data sheet is available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918 including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for booting from SD card. Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for avr32-linux. This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.

Improve FRV's use of generic IRQ handling: (*) Use generic_handle_irq() rather than __do_IRQ() as the latter is obsolete. (*) Don't implement enable() and disable() ops as these will fall back to using unmask() and mask(). (*) Provide mask_ack() functions to avoid a call each to mask() and ack(). (*) Make the cascade handlers always return IRQ_HANDLED. (*) Implement the mask() and unmask() functions in the same order as they're listed in the ops table. Signed-off-by: -

inode_security_set_sid is only called by security_inode_init_security, which is called when a new file is being created and needs to have its incore security state initialized and its security xattr set. This helper used to be called in other places in the past, but now only has the one. So this patch rolls inode_security_set_sid directly back into security_inode_init_security. There also is no need to hold the isec->sem while doing this, as the inode is not available to other threads at this point in time. Signed-off-by:
