This patch eliminates all kernel BUGs, trims about 35k off the typical kernel, and makes the system slightly faster. Signed-off-by:

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission. (akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for tips on integrating this with PAM). Signed-off-by:

The first blocks on a cdl formatted dasd device are smaller than the blocksize of the device. Read requests are padded with a 'e5' pattern. Write requests should not pad the (user) buffer with 'e5' because a write request is not allowed to modify the buffer. Signed-off-by:

Stefan Weinhuber authored
The DASD device driver never reorders the I/O requests and relies on the hardware to write all data to nonvolatile storage before signaling a successful write. Hence, the only thing we have to do to support write barriers is to set the queue ordered flag. Signed-off-by:

An arbitrary guest must not be allowed to trigger cmm actions. Only one specific guest namely the one that serves as the resource monitor may send cmm messages. Add a parameter that allows to specify the guest that may send messages. z/VMs resource manager has the name 'VMRMSVM' which is the default. Signed-off-by:

The memory setup didn't take care of memory holes and this makes the memory management think there would be more memory available than there is in reality. That causes the OOM killer to kill processes even if there is enough memory left that can be written to the swap space. The patch fixes this by using free_area_init_node with an array of memory holes instead of free_area_init. Further the patch cleans up the code in setup.c by splitting setup_arch into smaller pieces.

Use the set_disk_ro() API when the backing file is read-only, to mark the disk read-only, during the ->open(). The current hack does not work when doing a mount -o remount. Also, mark explicitly the code paths which should no more be triggerable (I've removed the WARN_ON(1) things). They should actually become BUG()s probably but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change works so well. I gave it only some limited testing. Signed-off-by:

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso authored
Use this: .set_page_dirty = __set_page_dirty_nobuffers, We already dropped the inclusion of <linux/buffer_head.h>, and we don't have a backing block device for this FS. "Without having looked at it, I'm sure that hostfs does not use buffer_heads. So setting your ->set_page_dirty a_op to point at __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is a reasonable thing to do - it'll provide a slight speedup." This speedup is one less spinlock held and one less conditional branch, which isn't bad. Signed-off-by:

Reuse asm-x86-64/unistd.h to build our syscall table, like x86-64 already does. Like for i386, we must add some #defines for all the (right!) changes UML does to x86-64 syscall table. Note: I noted a bogus: [ __NR_sched_yield ] = (syscall_handler_t *) yield, while doing this patch (which could only be a workaround for some strange bug, but I would ignore this possibility). I'm changing this without notice. Signed-off-by:

Fix the moved syscall table for the x86_64 SUBARCH: - redirect __NR_chown and such to versions aware of 32-bit UIDs, - avoid the useless hack for sys_nfsservctl, - use sys_sendfile64 in the table rather than sys_sendfile. - __NR_uselib is sys_ni_syscall on x86_64 (which does not support A.OUT). - __NR_getrlimit is sys_getrlimit, not sys_old_getrlimit Signed-off-by:

Split the i386 entry.S files into entry.S and syscall_table.S which is included in the previous one (so actually there is no difference between them) and use the syscall_table.S in the UML build, instead of tracking by hand the syscall table changes (which is inherently error-prone). We must only insert the right #defines to inject the changes we need from the i386 syscall table (for instance some different function names); also, we don't implement some i386 syscalls, as ioperm(), nor some TLS-related ones (yet to provide).

We want to make possible, for the user, to enable the i586 AES implementation. This requires a restructure. - Add a CONFIG_UML_X86 to notify that we are building a UML for i386. - Rename CONFIG_64_BIT to CONFIG_64BIT as is used for all other archs - Tell crypto/Kconfig that UML_X86 is as good as X86 - Tell it that it must exclude not X86_64 but 64BIT, which will give the same results. - Tell kbuild to descend down into arch/i386/crypto/ to build what's needed.

Old versions of sed from 1998 (predating the first release of gcc 2.95, but still in use by debian stable) don't understand the single-line version of the sed append command. Since newer versions of sed still understand the... ahem, "vintage" form of the command, change our code to use that. Signed-off-by:

This trick is useless, because sys_ni.c will handle this problem by itself, like it does even on UML for other syscalls. Also, it does not provide the NFSD syscall when NFSD is compiled as a module, which is a big problem. Signed-off-by:

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Prevent the kernel from oopsing during the extable sorting, as it can do now, because the extable is in the readonly section of the binary. Jeff says: The exception table turned RO in 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 for some reason. Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary. Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either disabled or enabled. The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup, after printing this simple output: I've verified, by binary search on the BitKeeper repository (synced up as of 2.6.12-rc2), starting from the range 2.6.11-2.6.12-rc1, that this bug shows up on BitKeeper revisions in the range [@1.1994.11.168,+inf), i.e. starting from this: [PATCH] lib/sort: Replace insertion sort in exception tables Since UML does not use the exception table, it's likely that insertion sort didn't happen to write anything on the table.

Patch solves VM86 interrupt emulation deadlock on SMP systems. The VM86 interrupt emulation has been heavily tested and works well on UP systems after last update, but it seems to deadlock when we have used it on SMP/HT boxes now. It seems, that disable_irq() cannot be called from interrupts, because it waits until disabled interrupt handler finishes (/kernel/irq/manage.c:synchronize_irq():while(IRQ_INPROGRESS);). This blocks one CPU after another. Solved by use disable_irq_nosync. There is the second problem. If IRQ source is fast, it is possible, that interrupt is sometimes processed and re-enabled by the second CPU, before it is disabled by the first one, but negative IRQ disable depths are not allowed. The spinlocking and disabling IRQs over call to disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq is the only solution found reliable till now. Signed-off-by:

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32. With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128. The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820). As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect on bootloader-setup code interface. Patch covers both i386 and x86-64. Tested on: * grub booting bzImage * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled * pxeboot of bzImage Side-effect: bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue, fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement. Signed-off-by:

The recent support for K8 multicore was misported from x86-64 to i386, due to an unnecessary inconsistency between the CPUID code. Sure, there is are no x86-64 VIA chips yet, but it should happen eventually. This patch fixes the i386 bug as well as makes x86-64 match i386 in the handing of the CPUID array. Signed-off-by:
