2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-03[MIPS] BCM1250: TRDY timeout tweaks for Broadcom SiByte systemsMaciej W. Rozycki
It was obesrved that at least one older PCI card predating the requirement for the TRDY signal to respond within 16 clock ticks actually does not meet this rule nor even the power-on defaults of the PCI bridges found in development systems built around the Broadcom SiByte SOCs. Here is a patch that bumps up the timeout to the highest finite value supported by these chips, which is 255 clock ticks. The bridges affected are the SiByte SOC itself and the SP1011. This change does not effectively affect systems only having PCI option cards installed that meet the TRDY requirement of the current PCI spec. The rule was introduced with PCI 2.1, so any older card may make the system affected. If this is the case, performance of the system will suffer in return for the card working at all. If this is a concern, then the solution is not to use such cards. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> ---

2006-10-03[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement patches build on IA64. This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should be fixed in a different manner. Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat(). This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and ppc64 and run-tested on frv.

2006-10-02[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pidCedric Le Goater
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

2006-10-02[PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architecturesArnd Bergmann
This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using _syscall3() to implement execve. The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386. Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do it for now.

Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This function although doing simple thing is hard to follow. It's mainly due to: - a lot of #ifdef - bad local names - redundant tests So this patch try to address these issues. It also do not use max_pfn global which is marked as an unused exported symbol. As a bonus side, it's now really easy to see what part of the code is for no-numa system.

2006-09-27[MIPS] get_wchan(): remove uses of mfinfo[64]Franck Bui-Huu
This array was used to 'cache' some frame info about scheduler functions to speed up get_wchan(). This array was 1Ko size and was only used when CONFIG_KALLSYMS was set but declared for all configs. Rather than make the array statement conditional, this patches removes this array and its uses. Indeed the common case doesn't seem to use this array and get_wchan() is not a critical path anyways. It results in a smaller bss and a smaller/cleaner code: text data bss dec hex filename 2543808 254148 139296 2937252 2cd1a4 vmlinux-new-get-wchan 2544080 254148 143392 2941620 2ce2b4 vmlinux~old Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2006-09-27[MIPS] get_frame_info(): null function size means size is unknownFranck Bui-Huu
This patch adds 2 sanity checks. The first one test that the start address of the function to analyze has been set by the caller. If not return an error since nothing usefull can be done without. The second one checks that the function's size has been set. A null size can happen if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set and it means that we don't know the size of the function to analyze. In this case, we make it equal to 128 instructions by default. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2006-09-27[MIPS] The o32 fstatat syscall behaves differently on 32 and 64 bit kernelsRichard Sandiford
While working on a glibc patch to support the fstatat() functions[1], I noticed that the o32 implementation behaves differently on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels; the former provides a stat64 while the latter provides a plain (o32) stat. I think the former is what's intended, as there is no separate fstatat64. It's also what x86 does. I think this is just a case of a compat too far.
