There were a few issues with the ppc64 noexec support:
The 64bit ABI has a non executable stack by default. At the moment 64bit apps
require a PT_GNU_STACK section in order to have a non executable stack.
Disable the read implies exec workaround on the 64bit ABI. The 64bit
toolchain has never had problems with incorrect mmap permissions (the 32bit
has, thats why we need to retain the workaround).
With these fixes as well as a gcc fix from Alan Modra (that was recently
committed) 64bit apps work as expected.

It turns out that our current __hash_page code will do a very hot busy-wait
loop waiting on _PAGE_BUSY to be cleared. It even does ldarx/stdcx in the
loop, which will bounce reservations around like crazy if there's more than
one CPU spinning on the same PTE (or even another PTE in the same
reservation granule). The end result is that each fault takes longer when
there's contention, which in turn increases the chance of another thread
hitting the same fault and also piling up. Not pretty.
There's two options here:
1. Do an out-of-line busy loop a'la spinlocks with just loads (no
reserves)
2. Just bail and refault if needed.
(2) makes sense here: If the PTE is busy, chances are it's in flux anyway
and the other code path making a change might just be ready to hash it.
This fixes a stampede seen on a large-ish system where a multithreaded
HPC app faults in the same text pages on several cpus at the same time.

On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are
supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about
our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that
describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up
having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed
for AIX and doesn't suit us very well. This patch adds the code to supply
this data structure to the firmware.

When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found
that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This
turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive
instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses
the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning
another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt
(i.e. 1).
This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now,
but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on.
Ultimately Ben and I want to do something more general and robust, but this
should go in for 2.6.12.

This patch from Roland adds a PT_NOTE section to both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs
to expose the kernel version to glibc, thus avoiding a uname syscall on
every launch. This is equivalent to the patches Roland posted already for
x86 and x86-64.
Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is
normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but
for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for
example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a
64 bits format .note. Talking to our toolchain folks, they think we'd
rather stick to 32 bits format .note everywhere and get the spec fixed some
day ...

Ben's patch that shutdowns master switch and restores it after resume
("pmac: Improve sleep code of tumbler driver") isn't enough here on an
iBook (snapper chip).
The master switch is correctly saved and restored, but somehow
tumbler_put_master_volume() gets called just after
tumbler_set_master_volume() and sets mix->master_vol[*] to 0. So, on
resuming, the master switch is reenabled, but the volume is set to 0.
Here's a patch that also saves and restores master_vol.

This patch applies on top of my previous g5 related sound patches and adds
support for the Mac Mini to the PowerMac Alsa driver.
However, I haven't found any kind of HW support for volume control on this
machine. If it exist, it's well hidden. That means that you probably want
to make sure you use software with the ability to do soft volume control,
or use Alsa 0.9 pre-release with the softvol plugin.

I noticed an occasional crash on wakeup from sleep on my powerbook
(strangly never happened before, probably timing related) that appears to
be due to a dangling interrupt while the chip is put to sleep and beeing
reset on wakeup.
This patch fixes is by disabling the irq in the ide pmac driver while
asleep and only re-enable it after the chip has been fully reset. This is
safe to do so as the interrupt of these apple IDE cells is never shared.

Some G3 CPUs can crash in funny way if a store from an FPU register
instruction is executed on a register that has never been initialized since
power on. This patch fixes it by making sure all FP registers have been
properly initialized at kernel boot and when waking from sleep. It also makes
the code that decides wether HID0_BTIC and HID0_DPM are allowed on a given CPU
smarter (it can actually _clear_ them now if they are not allowed instead of
just setting them when they are allowed in case the firmware got them wrong)

This patch provides finer grained permissions for the audit family of
Netlink sockets under SELinux.
1. We need a way to differentiate between privileged and unprivileged
reads of kernel data maintained by the audit subsystem. The AUDIT_GET
operation is unprivileged: it returns the current status of the audit
subsystem (e.g. whether it's enabled etc.). The AUDIT_LIST operation
however returns a list of the current audit ruleset, which is considered
privileged by the audit folk. To deal with this, a new SELinux
permission has been implemented and applied to the operation:
nlmsg_readpriv, which can be allocated to appropriately privileged
domains. Unprivileged domains would only be allocated nlmsg_read.
2. There is a requirement for certain domains to generate audit events
from userspace. These events need to be collected by the kernel,
collated and transmitted sequentially back to the audit daemon. An
example is user level login, an auditable event under CAPP, where
login-related domains generate AUDIT_USER messages via PAM which are
relayed back to auditd via the kernel. To prevent handing out
nlmsg_write permissions to such domains, a new permission has been
added, nlmsg_relay, which is intended for this type of purpose: data is
passed via the kernel back to userspace but no privileged information is
written to the kernel.
Also, AUDIT_LOGIN messages are now valid only for kernel->user messaging,
so this value has been removed from the SELinux nlmsgtab (which is only
used to check user->kernel messages).

The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory
on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab
allocator:
kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node);
kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node);
in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions:
kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags);
kmalloc(size, flags);
kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information
through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor
rearrangements). The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages,
cache_grow) are already node aware. Also __alloc_percpu can call
kmalloc_node now.
Performance measurements (using the pageset localization patch) yields:

This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers. It's

Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere. So, if
there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages. And
it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages. So, it's
meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Mempool is pretty clever. Looks too clever for its own good :) It
shouldn't really know so much about page reclaim internals.
- don't guess about what effective page reclaim might involve.
- don't randomly flush out all dirty data if some unlikely thing
happens (alloc returns NULL). page reclaim can (sort of :P) handle
it.
I think the main motivation is trying to avoid pool->lock at all costs.
However the first allocation is attempted with __GFP_WAIT cleared, so it
will be 'can_try_harder' if it hits the page allocator. So if allocation
still fails, then we can probably afford to hit the pool->lock - and what's
the alternative? Try page reclaim and hit zone->lru_lock?
A nice upshot is that we don't need to do any fancy memory barriers or do
(intentionally) racy access to pool-> fields outside the lock.

Mempools have 2 problems.
The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages
when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool.
The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves
instead of going to their reserved pools.
Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in
mempool_alloc. Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which
directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

- It increments @buf even in the iovec case thus @buf can point to random

fault_in_pages_readable() on this random memory.

and add kernel_install
Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few
complaints, so instead a new target i added: kernel_install.
kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target.
The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux,
kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice
when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user.
kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does
a full kernel compile before performing the install.
In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the
dependency on vmlinux for the install target so peoples scripts are no
longer broken.

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the
old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is
linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame.
Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack
pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process
sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits,
which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below
4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs.
This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack
pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.
