2006-06-27[PARISC] pdc_stable version 0.30Thibaut Varene
pdc_stable v0.30: This patch introduces 3 more files to the /sys/firmware/stable tree: - diagnostic, which contains a cryptic hex string - osdep1, a 16 bytes os-dependent storage area always available - osdep2, another os-dependent storage area which existence/size depends on hversion. This patch also adds code to setup the "Linux" signature in stable storage. That is to say that starting with this patch, the kernel will now sign its OSID (0x0006, thx LaMont) in Stable Storage upon boot, whether pdc_stable is enabled or not.

2006-06-27[PARISC] PDC_CHASSIS is implemented on all machinesThibaut Varene
This patch removes a limitation of the original code, so that CHASSIS codes can be sent to all machines. On machines with a LCD panel, this code displays "INI" during bootup, "RUN" when the system is booted and running, "FLT" when a panic occurs, etc. This part of the code can be enabled/disabled through CONFIG_PDC_CHASSIS This patch also adds minimalistic support for Chassis warnings, through a proc entry '/proc/chassis', which will reflect the warnings status (PSU or fans failure when they happen, NVRAM battery level and temperature thresholds overflows). This part of the code can be enabled/disabled through CONFIG_PDC_CHASSIS_WARN Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE <varenet@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>

2006-06-27[PARISC] Use FIXUP_BRANCH_CLOBBER to asm clobber listCarlos O'Donell
Joel Soete noticed correctly that the fixup's clobbers must be listed as the ASM clobbers. FIXUP_BRANCH in unaligned.c has a new macro which lists all the clobbers in the fixup, we use this throughout the file to simplify the process of listing clobbers in the future. A missing "r1" clobber is added to our uaccess.h for the 64-bit __put_kernel_asm. Interestingly this is a pretty serious bug since gcc generates pretty good use of r1 as a temporary and the uses of __put_kernel_asm are varied and dangerous if r1 is scratched during an invalid write.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machinesAmul Shah
This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel. The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that had NUMA ifdef'ed out. I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off) in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulationKaiGai Kohei
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late. For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure before writing out an accounting record. This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt are done before generating accounting record.

2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: avoidance to refer the last thread as a representation of the ↵KaiGai Kohei
process When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any other task_structs are ignored. Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this process has called execve() after fork(). We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode is not the group leader's one.
2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: add pacct_struct to fix some pacct bugs.KaiGai Kohei
The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is generated. There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up. If OOM killer is activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory regions. But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory. In the results, any processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL bufferJeremy Fitzhardinge
This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

2006-06-25[PATCH] Implement AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW flag for linkatUlrich Drepper
When the linkat() syscall was added the flag parameter was added in the last minute but it wasn't used so far. The following patch should change that. My tests show that this is all that's needed. If OLDNAME is a symlink setting the flag causes linkat to follow the symlink and create a hardlink with the target. This is actually the behavior POSIX demands for link() as well but Linux wisely does not do this. With this flag (which will most likely be in the next POSIX revision) the programmer can choose the behavior, defaulting to the safe variant. As a side effect it is now possible to implement a POSIX-compliant link(2) function for those who are interested. touch file ln -s file symlink linkat(fd, "symlink", fd, "newlink", 0) -> newlink is hardlink of symlink linkat(fd, "symlink", fd, "newlink", AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW) -> newlink is hardlink of file The value of AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW is determined by the definition we already use in glibc.

2006-06-25[PATCH] fs: sys_poll with timeout -1 bug fixFrode Isaksen
If you do a poll() call with timeout -1, the wait will be a big number (depending on HZ) instead of infinite wait, since -1 is passed to the msecs_to_jiffies function.

2006-06-25[PATCH] kthread: convert stop_machine into a kthreadSerge E. Hallyn
- Update stop_machine.c to spawn stop_machine as kthreads rather than the deprecated kernel_threads. - Update stop_machine to use the more efficient kthread_bind() before running task in place of set_cpus_allowed() after.
