2008-03-25[SPARC64]: Fix sparse warnings in arch/sparc64/kernel/{cpu,setup}.cDavid S. Miller
We create a local header file entry.h, under arch/sparc64/kernel/, that we can use to declare routines either defined in assembler or only invoked from assembler. As well as other data objects which are private to the inner sparc64 kernel arch code. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-03-24[SPARC64]: Make save_stack_trace() more efficient.David S. Miller
Doing a 'flushw' every stack trace capture creates so much overhead that it makes lockdep next to unusable. We only care about the frame pointer chain and the function caller program counters, so flush those by hand to the stack frame. This is significantly more efficient than a 'flushw' because: 1) We only save 16 bytes per active register window to the stack. 2) This doesn't push the entire register window context of the current call chain out of the cpu, forcing register window fill traps as we return back down. Note that we can't use 'restore' and 'save' instructions to move around the register windows because that wouldn't work on Niagara processors. They optimize 'save' into a new register window by simply clearing out the registers instead of pulling them in from the on-chip register window backing store. Based upon a report by Tom Callaway.

2008-03-21[SPARC64]: Remove most limitations to kernel image size.David S. Miller
Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of kernel image space such as lockdep. The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that many locked TLB entries. So, the only practical limitation is the number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64 on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus. Niagara cpus don't actually have hw locked TLB entry support. Rather, the hypervisor transparently provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing. Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for which will be submitted to the maintainer. Essentially, SILO will only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be increased. Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network booting. The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to about that other than to implemented a layered network booting facility. Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may implement something similar at some point. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-02-26[SPARC64]: Loosen checks in exception table handling.David S. Miller
Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose. See, for example, the code added by changeset a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea ("futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality"). That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault(). Just remove it for now. Maybe we can add it back later with an added conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer. The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB information when accessing PMP registers. Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci). One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48, forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

2008-02-24libata: automatically use DMADIR if drive/bridge requires itTejun Heo
Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir. That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications). So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit. Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives. This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary. atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting DMADIR.

RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case. The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice structure.

2008-02-23Add memory barrier semantics to wake_up() & coLinus Torvalds
Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures, the traditional sequence of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (CONDITION) return; schedule(); is racy wrt another CPU doing CONDITION = 1; wake_up_process(p); because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side. Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier, but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock. However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old state). This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the spinlock already gave the required protection).

2008-02-23documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failureOleg Nesterov
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...) A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example. We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.
