2006-09-27[PATCH] uml: fix proc-vs-interrupt context spinlock deadlockPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be used. However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens. Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is guaranted really by the present code?

2006-09-27[PATCH] Allow an arch to expand node boundariesMel Gorman
Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node (pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was registered by the architecture. However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add. This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to at *least* the requested boundary.

2006-09-27[PATCH] Account for holes that are outside the range of physical memoryMel Gorman

2006-09-27[PATCH] Account for memmap and optionally the kernel image as holesMel Gorman
The x86_64 code accounted for memmap and some portions of the the DMA zone as holes. This was because those areas would never be reclaimed and accounting for them as memory affects min watermarks. This patch will account for the memmap as a memory hole. Architectures may optionally use set_dma_reserve() if they wish to account for a portion of memory in ZONE_DMA as a hole.

2006-09-27[MIPS] get_wchan(): remove uses of mfinfo[64]Franck Bui-Huu

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.

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.

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.

2006-09-27[MIPS] Patch to arch/mips/mips-boards/generic/time.cKevin D. Kissell
In hooking up the perf counter overflow interrupt to the experimental deprecated-real-soon-now /proc/perf interface last night, I had to revisit arch/mips/mips-boards/generic/time.c, and discovered that when the 2.6.9-based SMTC prototype was merged with the more recent tree, it was missed that arch/mips/kernel/time.c had changed so that even in SMP kernels, timer_interrupt() calls local_timer_interrupt(), so there is no longer a need to invoke it directly from mips_timer_interrupt() in those cases where timer_interrupt() has been called. So I got rid of that, and added the invocation of perf_irq() if Cause.PCI is set, more-or-less following the same logic as in the non-SMTC case, with the modifications that (a) a runtime check for Release 2 isn't done, because it's redundant in SMTC), and (b) we check for a clock interrupt regardless of the value returned by the perf counter service - I don't understand why we'd want to control that with perf_irq(), but maybe one of you knows the story. I also got rid of the stupid warning about the unused variable when compiled for SMTC (another artifact of the merge). The result hasn't been beaten to death, but boots, seems stable, and supports extended precision event counting. Signed-off-by: Kevin D.

2006-09-27[MIPS] Fix for pci config_access on alchemy au1x000Alexander Bigga
I've encountered a serious problem with PCI config space access on Au1x000 platforms with recent 2.6.x-kernel. With 2.4.31 the same hardware works fine. So I was looking for the differences: Symptoms: - no PCI-device is seen on bootup though two or three cards are present - lspci output is empty - OR: lspci shows 20 times the same device (- OR: in some slot-configurations it worked anyhow) System(s): 1. platform with Au1500 and three PCI-devices (actually a mycable XXS1500 with backplane for three PCI-devices) 2. platform with Au1550 and two PCI-devices (custom board) Debugging: I digged down to the config_access() of the au1xxx-processors in arch/mips/pci/ops-au1000.c and switched on DEBUG. The code of config_access() seems to be almost the same as of the 2.4.x-kernel. But the "pci_cfg_vm->addr" returned by get_vm_area(0x2000, 0) once on booting is different. That's of course not forbidden. But the alignment seems to be wrong. In my case, I received: 2.4.31: pci_cfg_vm->addr = c0000000 2.6.18-rc5: pci_cfg_vm->addr = c0101000 To make it short: With 2.6.x it fails on the first config-access with: "PCI ERR detected: status 83a00356". Fixup: My fix is now, to use the VM_IOREMAP-flag in the get_vm_area call. This flag seems to be introduced in mm/vmalloc.c a long time ago (in 2.6.7-bk13, I found in gitweb). Now, the returned address is pci_cfg_vm->addr = c0104000 and everything works fine. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

On the 34K the redundant cache operations were causing excessive stalls resulting in realtime code running on the second VPE missing its deadline. For all other platforms this patch is just a significant performance improvment as illustrated by below benchmark numbers.

2006-09-27[MIPS] Avoid double signal restarting.Ralf Baechle
In entry.S resume_userspace ... jal do_notify_resume form a loop through which the kernel will iterate as long as work is pending. If we iterate through this loop more than once with no signal pending for at least one but the last iteration we will take do the syscall restarting multiple times resulting in a syscall return prior to the the syscall instruction in userspace. This may happen when debugging a multithreaded program. Debugging and original fix by Maciej; extended to other ABIs by me. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
