2006-01-10[PATCH] per-mountpoint noatime/nodiratimeChristoph Hellwig
Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags. After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization. While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were only used by touch_atime.

2006-01-10[PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.cChristoph Hellwig
Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft. We need a special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done. This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures. Also remove some superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c Tested on ppc64. [1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd kick in for all netdevice users. We can introduce a proper handler in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this patchset.

This patch implements generic handling of RTC_IRQP_READ32, RTC_IRQP_SET32, RTC_EPOCH_READ32 and RTC_EPOCH_SET32 in fs/compat_ioctl.c. It's based on the x86_64 code which needed a little massaging to be endian-clean. parisc used COMPAT_IOCTL or generic w_long handlers for these whichce is wrong and can't work because the ioctls encode sizeof(unsigned long) in their ioctl number. parisc also duplicated COMPAT_IOCTL entries for other rtc ioctls which I remove in this patch, too.

After my lookup_hash patch ->d_revalidate always gets a valid struct nameidata passed (unless you use lookup_one_len which autofs4 doesn't), so we can switch it from update_atime to touch_atime. This is a bit of an academic excercise because autofs has a 1:1 vfsmount superblock relation, but I want to get rid of update_atime so filesystems authors can't easily screw up per-mountpoint noatime support.

2006-01-10[PATCH] replace inode_update_time with file_update_timeChristoph Hellwig
To allow various options to work per-mount instead of per-sb we need a struct vfsmount when updating ctime and mtime. This preparation patch replaces the inode_update_time routine with a file_update_atime routine so we can easily get at the vfsmount. (and the file makes more sense in this context anyway). Also get rid of the unused second argument - we always want to update the ctime when calling this routine.

) From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very different for different attribute namespaces. This patch moves as much as we can into the generic code. Currently all the major disk based filesystems duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems lack some or all of them.

2006-01-10[PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependencyManeesh Soni
I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The following patch ends that dependency. I thought of hiding it under CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible. I will also update the documentation accordingly. o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose CONFIG_EMBEDDED. o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer to kexec and kdump options.

2006-01-10[PATCH] kdump: x86_64 save cpu registers upon crashVivek Goyal
- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash kernel. - crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has occured. One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one. Hence it has been inlined. More call frames later get pushed on to stack (machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to backtrace those. - Not very sure about the CFI annotations. With this patch I am getting decent backtrace with gdb. Assuming, compiler has generated enough debugging information for crash_kexec(). Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop this call frame. - Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown. - Introducing CRASH_DUMP option in Kconfig for x86_64.

2006-01-10[PATCH] kdump: save registers early (inline functions)Vivek Goyal
- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec). - In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back trace problems for ppc64. - This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made inline - crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386. crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is pushed onto stack.
