2006-02-28[IA64] cleanup in fsys.SKen Chen
beautify coding style for zeroing end of fsyscall_table entries. Remove misleading __NR_syscall_last and add more comments. Drop (now unneeded) "guard against failure to increase NR_syscalls" Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2006-01-13[IA64] Add stub entry to fsys.S for sys_migrate_pagesTony Luck
When this new syscall was added to ia64 in commit 39743889aaf76725152f16aa90ca3c45f6d52da3 fsys.S was forgotten. Add a ".data8 0" there to keep it in step. [Reported by Stephane Eranian] Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-06-09[IA64] Fix race condition in the rt_sigprocmask fastcallChristoph Lameter
current->blocked will be set to the value of current->thread_info->flags if the cmpxchg to update thread_info->flags fails. For performance reasons the store into current->blocked was placed in the cmpxchg loop. However, the cmpxchg overwrites the register holding the value to be stored. In the rare case of a retry the value of thread_info->flags will be written into current->blocked. The fix is to use another register so that the register containing the current->blocked value is not overwritten.

2005-04-29[PATCH] fix ia64 syscall auditingAmy Griffis
Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and signal handling code paths.The patch enables auditing of system calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn. Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.

2005-04-27[IA64] Reschedule fsys_bubble_down().David Mosberger-Tang
Improvements come from eliminating srlz.i, not scheduling AR/CR-reads too early (while there are others still pending), scheduling the backing-store switch as well as possible, splitting the BBB bundle into a MIB/MBB pair. Why is it safe to eliminate the srlz.i? Observe that we used to clear bits ~PSR_PRESERVED_BITS in PSR.L. Since PSR_PRESERVED_BITS==PSR.{UP,MFL,MFH,PK,DT,PP,SP,RT,IC}, we ended up clearing PSR.{BE,AC,I,DFL,DFH,DI,DB,SI,TB}. However, PSR.BE : already is turned off in __kernel_syscall_via_epc() PSR.AC : don't care (kernel normally turns PSR.AC on) PSR.I : already turned off by the time fsys_bubble_down gets invoked PSR.DFL: always 0 (kernel never turns it on) PSR.DFH: don't care --- kernel never touches f32-f127 on its own initiative PSR.DI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on) PSR.SI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on) PSR.DB : don't care --- kernel never enables kernel-level breakpoints PSR.TB : must be 0 already; if it wasn't zero on entry to __kernel_syscall_via_epc, the branch to fsys_bubble_down will trigger a taken branch; the taken-trap-handler then converts the syscall into a break-based system-call. In other words: all the bits we're clearying are either 0 already or are don't cares! Thus, we don't have to write PSR.L at all and we don't have to do a srlz.i either. Good for another ~20 cycle improvement for EPC-based heavy-weight syscalls. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
