We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.
The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.
The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.
This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.

When queue dies, we set cic->key=NULL as dead mark. So, when we

On rmmod path, cfq/as waits to make sure all io-contexts was
freed. However, it's using complete(), not wait_for_completion().
I think barrier() is not enough in here. To avoid the following case,
this patch replaces barrier() with smb_wmb().
cpu0 visibility cpu1
[ioc_gnone=NULL,ioc_count=1]
ioc_gnone = &all_gone NULL,ioc_count=1
atomic_read(&ioc_count) NULL,ioc_count=1
wait_for_completion() NULL,ioc_count=0 atomic_sub_and_test()
NULL,ioc_count=0 if ( && ioc_gone)
[ioc_gone==NULL,
so doesn't call complete()]

attachment (CVE-2006-1524)
I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.
SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.
I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.
This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.
However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.
I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.
But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when
loading i2c-parport or i2c-parport-light. If none is specified, the driver
init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).
Kconfig and documentation updated accordingly.

[PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/
dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64.
Currently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64
and x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn't otherwise care
about.
This is simply "mv arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c drivers/firmware/" (removing
trailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes. All three
architectures already set CONFIG_DMI in their top-level Kconfig files.

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.
- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

I use 2.6.15.6 Linux kernel and found some problems. I have about 100
Linux boxes (all with the same (binary the same) kernel). Last time I have
upgraded all those boxes from 2.4.32 to 2.6.15.6 (first 2.6.15.1, next .2,
.4 and .6) and I have found some problems on VIA based PC's. Probably the
reason of this is that some VIA chipsets are unrecognized by IRQ router.
In line 586 there is: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
There were only a few of chipsets ID's there, some of my VIA chipsets were
not present and kernel used default IRQ router.
I have added three entries, so that the code looks like:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C596:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8231:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237_SATA:
/* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
r->name = "VIA";
r->get = pirq_via_get;
r->set = pirq_via_set;
return 1;
}
The kernel goes fine but I haven't testes it for weeks, I'm just a moment
after reboot :)
One thing is different (better?):
Using previus kernel I had:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0
now I have:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 11
Maybe it is good idea to add there some more VIA chipsets?
The ones I have added seem to be OK.

The init function for the RPA PCI Hotplug driver returns -ENODEV in the
case that no hotplug-capable slots are detected in the system. This is
bad, since hot-capable slots can be added after boot to a purely virtual
POWER partition. This is also bad because DLPAR I/O operations depend
on the rpaphp module.
Change the rpaphp init module to return success for the case of
partitions that own no hotplug-capable slots at boot. Such slots can be
dynamically added after boot.
