2008-02-27[POWERPC] spufs: fix context destruction during psmap faultJeremy Kerr
We have a small window where a spu context may be destroyed while we're servicing a page fault (from another thread) to the context's problem state mapping. After we up_read() the mmap_sem, it's possible that the context is destroyed by its owning thread, and so the later references to ctx are invalid. This can maifest as a deadlock on the (now free()-ed) context state mutex. This change adds a reference to the context before we release the mmap_sem, so that the context cannot be destroyed.

2008-02-20[POWERPC] cell: fix spurious false return from spu_trap_data_{map,seg}Andre Detsch
At present, the __spufs_trap_data_map and __spu_trap_data_seq functions exit if spu->flags has the SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_ACTIVE set. This was resulting in suprious returns from these functions, as they may be legitimately called when we have this bit set. We only use it in these two sanity checks, so this change removes the flag completely. This fixes hangs in the page-fault path of SPE apps.

2008-02-19[POWERPC] spufs: fix scheduler starvation by idle contextsJeremy Kerr
2.6.25 has a regression where we can starve the scheduler by creating (N_SPES+1) contexts, then running them one at a time. The final context will never be run, as the other contexts are loaded on the SPEs, none of which are repoted as free (ie, spu->alloc_state != SPU_FREE), so spu_get_idle() doesn't give us a spu to run on. Because all of the contexts are stopped, none are descheduled by the scheduler tick, as spusched_tick returns if spu_stopped(ctx). This change replaces the spu_stopped() check with checking for SCHED_IDLE in ctx->policy. We set a context's policy to SCHED_IDLE when we're not in spu_run(). We also favour SCHED_IDLE contexts when looking for contexts to unbind, but leave their timeslice intact for later resumption. This patch fixes the following test in the spufs-testsuite: tests/20-scheduler/02-yield-starvation Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

Extract the common code to remove a dentry from the lru into a new function dentry_lru_remove(). Two call sites used list_del() instead of list_del_init(). AFAIK the performance of both is the same. dentry_lru_remove() does a list_del_init(). As a result dentry->d_lru is now always empty when a dentry is freed.

2008-02-14FLAT binaries: drop BINFMT_FLAT bad header magic warningMike Frysinger
The warning issued by fs/binfmt_flat.c when the format handler is given a non-FLAT and non-script executable is annoying to say the least when working with FDPIC ELF objects. If you build a kernel that supports both FLAT and FDPIC ELFs on no-mmu, every time you execute an FDPIC ELF, the kernel spits out this message. While I understand a lot of newcomers to the no-mmu world screw up generation of FLAT binaries, this warning is not usable for systems that support more than just FLAT.

2008-02-14cris: import memset.c from newlib: fixes compile error with newer (pre4.3) gccJesper Nilsson
Adrian Bunk reported the following compile error with a SVN head GCC: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.o /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c: In function 'memset': /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:164: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:165: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:166: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:167: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:185: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:189: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/memset.c:192: error: lvalue required as increment operand ... etc ... This is due to the use of the construct: *((long*)dst)++ = lc; Which is no longer legal since casts don't return an lvalue. The solution is to import the implementation from newlib, which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline, and uses the construct: *(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4; With this change, the generated code actually shrinks 76 bytes since gcc notices that it can use autoincrement for the move instruction in CRIS. text data bss dec hex filename 304 0 0 304 130 memset.old.o text data bss dec hex filename 228 0 0 228 e4 memset.o Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors. Note also that even if the two files for the CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version. Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not until we've done some research on it.
