2007-07-12Define zero-page offset 0x1e4 as a scratch field, and use itH. Peter Anvin
The relocatable kernel code needs a scratch field for the decompressor to determine its own location. It was using a location inside struct screen_info; reserve a free location and document it as scratch instead. Signed-off-by: H.

2007-07-12i2c-i801: Use the internal 32-byte buffer on ICH4+Oleg Ryjkov
Add an ability to utilize the internal SRAM buffer on ICH4 and newer host controllers to speed up execution of block operations. I've split the code so that it is more clear which block transaction is performed. First of all the host controller's type is identified. isich4 is set when we think that the controller has the internal buffer. Then, before every block transaction, if isich4 is set, we attempt to enable the E32B bit in SMBAUXCTL register.

2007-07-12i2c: Fix the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototypeJean Delvare
Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense. Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging, to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that. I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used, which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far. There are some obvious compatiblity considerations: * This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will have to update their code. * User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-07-12i2c: Deprecate legacy RTC driversJean Delvare
We have a new RTC subsystem with better drivers. Legacy driver status: * ds1337: The DS1337 and DS1339 are now supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver, so it looks to me like we could even delete the ds1337 driver right away. * ds1374: Will soon be replaced with Scott Wood's rtc-ds1374 driver. * m41t00: The M41T00 is supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver.

2007-07-11security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmapEric Paris
Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to 0, preserving existing behavior. This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2007-07-11sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for ↵Zhang Rui
sysfs binary attributes Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either. What I do: Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes. In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work. But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods. I'm not sure if I missed any. :( Why I do this: For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the struct attribute in the .show/.store method, while we can't do this for the binary attributes. I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones. So I think this patch is reasonable. :) Who benefits from it: The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs requires such an improvement. All the table binary attributes share the same .read method. Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get the table signature and instance number which are used to distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes. Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods for different ACPI table binary attributes. This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled): 0x00000000 - 0x3FFFBFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access If a user attempts to perform an MMIO mmap (using the PCIIOC_MMAP_IS_MEM ioctl) to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000), we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC attribute.

2007-07-10configfs: config item dependancies.Joel Becker
Sometimes other drivers depend on particular configfs items. For example, ocfs2 mounts depend on a heartbeat region item. If that region item is removed with rmdir(2), the ocfs2 mount must BUG or go readonly. Not happy. This provides two additional API calls: configfs_depend_item() and configfs_undepend_item(). A client driver can call configfs_depend_item() on an existing item to tell configfs that it is depended on. configfs will then return -EBUSY from rmdir(2) for that item. When the item is no longer depended on, the client driver calls configfs_undepend_item() on it. These API cannot be called underneath any configfs callbacks, as they will conflict. They can block and allocate. A client driver probably shouldn't calling them of its own gumption. Rather it should be providing an API that external subsystems call. How does this work? Imagine the ocfs2 mount process. When it mounts, it asks for a heart region item. This is done via a call into the heartbeat code. Inside the heartbeat code, the region item is looked up. Here, the heartbeat code calls configfs_depend_item(). If it succeeds, then heartbeat knows the region is safe to give to ocfs2. If it fails, it was being torn down anyway, and heartbeat can gracefully pass up an error.

2007-07-10configfs: accessing item hierarchy during rmdir(2)Joel Becker
Add a notification callback, ops->disconnect_notify(). It has the same prototype as ->drop_item(), but it will be called just before the item linkage is broken. This way, configfs users who want to do work while the object is still in the heirarchy have a chance. Client drivers will still need to config_item_put() in their ->drop_item(), if they implement it. They need do nothing in ->disconnect_notify(). They don't have to provide it if they don't care. But someone who wants to be notified before ci_parent is set to NULL can now be notified. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>

Based on patch "the scheduled removal of RAW1394_REQ_ISO_{SEND,LISTEN}" from Adrian Bunk, November 20 2006. This patch also removes the underlying facilities in ohci1394 and disables them in pcilynx. That is, hpsb_host_driver.devctl() and hpsb_host_driver.transmit_packet() are no longer used for iso reception and transmission. Since video1394 and dv1394 only work with ohci1394 and raw1394's rawiso interface has never been implemented in pcilynx, pcilynx is now no longer useful for isochronous applications. raw1394 will still handle the request types but will complete the requests with errors that indicate API version conflicts.

2007-07-09sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing codeIngo Molnar
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.
