2005-09-11[NET]: Add netlink connector.Evgeniy Polyakov
Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus direction. Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called. From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward: socket(); bind(); send(); recv(); But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly easier way: int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *)); void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask); struct cb_id { __u32 idx; __u32 val; }; idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val will be received by connector core. Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's users. Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

2005-09-11[PATCH] MCA/INIT: use per cpu stacksKeith Owens
The bulk of the change. Use per cpu MCA/INIT stacks. Change the SAL to OS state (sos) to be per process. Do all the assembler work on the MCA/INIT stacks, leaving the original stack alone. Pass per cpu state data to the C handlers for MCA and INIT, which also means changing the mca_drv interfaces slightly. Lots of verification on whether the original stack is usable before converting it to a sleeping process. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-09-11[IA64] MCA/INIT: avoid reading INIT record during INIT eventKeith Owens
Reading the INIT record from SAL during the INIT event has proved to be unreliable, and a source of hangs during INIT processing. The new MCA/INIT handlers remove the need to get the INIT record from SAL. Change salinfo.c so mca.c can just flag that a new record is available, without having to read the record during INIT processing. This patch can be applied without the new MCA/INIT handlers. Also clean up some usage of NR_CPUS which should have been using cpu_online(). Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-09-11kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chainSam Ravnborg
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke. With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare The dependency chain looks like this now: prepare | +--> prepare0 | +--> archprepare | +--> scripts_basic +--> prepare1 | +---> prepare2 | +--> prepare3 So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc. This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic are all updated before archprepare is processed. prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the actions performed by archprepare. The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility. Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

2005-09-10[PATCH] uml: avoid already done dirtyingPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

2005-09-10[PATCH] uml: fix fault handler on writePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
The UML fault handler was recently changed to enforce PROT_NONE protections, by requiring VM_READ or VM_EXEC on VMA's. However, by mistake, things were changed such that VM_READ is always checked, also on write faults; so a VMA mapped with only PROT_WRITE is not readable (unless it's prefaulted with MAP_POPULATE or with a write), which is different from i386. Discovered while testing remap_file_pages protection support. Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-10[PATCH] uml: inline mk_pte and various friendsPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Turns out that, for UML, a *lot* of VM-related trivial functions are not inlined but rather normal functions. In other sections of UML code, this is justified by having files which interact with the host and cannot therefore include kernel headers, but in this case there's no such justification. I've had to turn many of them to macros because of missing declarations. While doing this, I've decided to reuse some already existing macros.

2005-09-10[PATCH] i386 / uml: add dwarf sections to static link scriptPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Inside the linker script, insert the code for DWARF debug info sections. This may help GDB'ing a Uml binary. Actually, it seems that ld is able to guess what I added correctly, but normal linker scripts include this section so it should be correct anyway adding it. On request by Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, I've added it to asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.s. I've also moved there the stabs debug section, used the new macro in i386 linker script and added DWARF debug section to that. In the truth, I've not been able to verify the difference in GDB behaviour after this change (I've seen large improvements with another patch). This may depend on my binutils version, older one may have worse defaults. However, this section is present in normal linker script, so add it at least for the sake of cleanness.

2005-09-10[PATCH] ppc32: support hotplug cpu on powermacsPaul Mackerras
This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is connected to a GPIO pin. With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

2005-09-10[PATCH] ppc32: Kill init on unhandled synchronous signalsPaul Mackerras
This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages. If init causes an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we print a message and kill init in this situation. This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :) Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue about what has gone wrong.
