2006-06-29[PATCH] genirq MSI fixesIngo Molnar
This is a fixed up and cleaned up replacement for genirq-msi-fixes.patch, which should solve the i386 4KSTACKS problem. I also added Ben's idea of pushing the __do_IRQ() check into generic_handle_irq(). I booted this with MSI enabled, but i only have MSI devices, not MSI-X devices. I'd still expect MSI-X to work now. irqchip migration helper: call __do_IRQ() if a descriptor is attached to an irqtype-style controller. This also fixes MSI-X IRQ handling on i386 and x86_64.

2006-06-29[PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

2006-06-27[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: whitespace pre-cleanJim Cromie
GPIO SUPPORT FOR SCx200 & PC8736x The patch-set reworks the 2.4 vintage scx200_gpio driver for modern 2.6, and refactors GPIO support to reuse it in a new driver for the GPIO on PC-8736x chips. Its handy for the Soekris.com net-4801, which has both chips. These patches have been seen recently on Kernel-Mentors, and then Kernel-Newbies ML, where Jesper Juhl kindly reviewed it. His feedback has been incorporated. Thanks Jesper ! Its also gone to soekris-tech@soekris.com for possible testing by linux folks, I've gotten 1 promise so far. Theyre mostly BSD folk over there, but we'll see.. Device-file & Sysfs The driver preserves the existing device-file interface, including the write/cmd set, but adds v to 'view' the pin-settings & configs by inducing, via gpio_dump(), a dev_info() call. Its a fairly crappy way to get status, but it sticks to the syslog approach, conservatively. Allowing users to voluntarily trigger logging is good, it gives them a familiar way to confirm their app's control & use of the pins, and I've thus reduced the pin-mode-updates from dev_info to dev_dbg. I've recently bolted on a proto sysfs interface for both new drivers. Im not including those patches here; they (the patch + doc-pre-patch) are still quite raw (and unreviewed on KNML), and since they 'invent' a convention for GPIO, a proper vetting is needed. Since this patchset is much bigger than my previous ones, Id like to keep things simpler, and address it 1st, before bolting on more stuff. The driver-split The Geode CPU and the PC-87366 Super-IO chip have GPIO units which share a common pin-architecture (same pin features, with same bits controlling), but with different addressing mechanics and port organizations. The vintage driver expresses the pin capabilities with pin-mode commands [OoPpTt],etc that change the pin configurations, and since the 2 chips share pin-arch, we can reuse the read(), write() commands, once the implementation is suitably adjusted. The patchset adds a vtable: struct nsc_gpio_ops, to abstract the existing gpio operations, then adjusts fileops.write() code to invoke operations via that vtable. Driver specific open()s set private_data to the vtable so its available for use by write(). The vtable gets the gpio_dump() too, since its user-friendly, and (could be construed as) part of the current device-file interface. To support use of dev_dbg() in write() & _dump(), the vtable gets a dev ptr too, set by both scx200 & pc8736x _gpio drivers. heres how the pins are presented in syslog: [ 1890.176223] scx200_gpio.0: io00: 0x0044 TS OD PUE EDGE LO DEBOUNCE [ 1890.287223] scx200_gpio.0: io01: 0x0003 OE PP PUD EDGE LO nsc_gpio.c: new file is new home of several file-ops methods, which are modified to get their vtable from filp->private_data, and use it where needed. scx200_gpio.c: keeps some of its existing gpio routines, but now wires them up via the vtable (they're invoked by nsc_gpio.c:nsc_gpio_write() thru this vtable). A driver-spcific open() initializes filp->private_data with the vtable. Once the split is clean, and the scx200_gpio driver is working, we copy and modify the function and variable names, and rework the access-method bodies for the different addressing scheme.

2006-06-27[PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vmaIngo Molnar
Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

2006-06-27[PATCH] fix broken vm86 interrupt/signal handlingAleksey Gorelov
Commit c3ff8ec31c1249d268cd11390649768a12bec1b9 ("[PATCH] i386: Don't miss pending signals returning to user mode after signal processing") meant that vm86 interrupt/signal handling got broken for the case when vm86 is called from kernel space. In this scenario, if signal is pending because of vm86 interrupt, do_notify_resume/do_signal exits immediately due to user_mode() check, without processing any signals. Thus, resume_userspace handler is spinning in a tight loop with signal pending and TIF_SIGPENDING is set. Previously everything worked Ok. No in-tree usage of vm86() from kernel space exists, but I've heard about a number of projects out there which use vm86 calls from kernel, one of them being this, for instance: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/ The following patch fixes the issue.

2006-06-27[PATCH] x86: increase interrupt vector rangeRusty Russell
Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can be > 256. Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more permissive interface to do_IRQ.

2006-06-27[PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node structKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI. I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add. In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(), which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be there. This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu until node is onlined. This removes node arguments from register_cpu(). Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not necessary now. This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this. Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it. Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

2006-06-27[PATCH] Register sysfs file for hotplugged new nodeYasunori Goto
When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for new node. So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is called to create it. In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a generic_code(). This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

2006-06-27[PATCH] i386: export memory more than 4G through /proc/iomemVivek Goyal
Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device memory. But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB. This leads to problems for kexec/kdump. Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced. Given the fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to see and use that memory. Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers. After a crash new kernel parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared accordingly. As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it. Hence vmcore is truncated and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system. This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

2006-06-26[PATCH] x86_64: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUsVenkatesh Pallipadi
Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters ( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors. What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid). And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural events. Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.

2006-06-26[PATCH] x86_64: Standardize i386/x86_64 handling of NMI_VECTORKeith Owens
x86_64 and i386 behave inconsistently when sending an IPI on vector 2 (NMI_VECTOR). Make both behave the same, so IPI 2 is sent as NMI. The crash code was abusing send_IPI_allbutself() by passing a code instead of a vector, it only worked because crash knew about the internal code of send_IPI_allbutself(). Change crash to use NMI_VECTOR instead, and remove the comment about how crash was abusing the function. This patch is a pre-requisite for fixing the problem where sending an IPI as NMI would reboot some Dell Xeon systems. I cannot fix that problem while crash continus to abuse send_IPI_allbutself(). It also removes the inconsistency between i386 and x86_64 for NMI_VECTOR. That will simplify all the RAS code that needs to bring all the cpus to a clean stop, even when one or more cpus are spinning disabled.

2006-06-26[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_statusAndi Kleen
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status. Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle function.
