2007-07-16uml: remove dead fileJeff Dike
I forgot this file was here. It hasn't been used since UML has been in mainline. Thanks to Jesper for finding something that needed doing to it, thus reminding me of its existence.

2007-07-16uml: limit request size on COWed devicesJeff Dike
COWed devices can't handle more than 32 (64 on x86_64) sectors in one request due to the size of the bitmap being carried around in the io_thread_req. Enforce that by telling the block layer not to put too many sectors in requests to COWed devices.

2007-07-16uml: Eliminate kernel allocator wrappersJeff Dike
UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone.

2007-07-16uml: simplify helper stack handlingJeff Dike
run_helper and run_helper_thread had arguments which were the same in all callers. run_helper's stack_out was always NULL and run_helper_thread's stack_order was always 0. These are now gone, and the constants folded into the code. Also fixed leaks of the helper stack in the AIO and SIGIO code.

2007-07-16uml: SIGIO support cleanupJeff Dike
Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support. Some code and comment reformatting. The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked. This is now fixed by storing it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is killed. If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the interrupt handler, the winch record would leak. It is now freed, except that the IRQ isn't freed. This is hard to do from interrupt context. This has the side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure, but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled. register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an initialization failure.

2007-07-16uml: handle errors on opening host side of consolesJeff Dike
If the host side of a console can't be opened, this will now produce visible error messages. enable_chan now returns a status and this is passed up to con_open and ssl_open, which will complain if anything went wrong. The default host device for the serial line driver is now a pts device rather than a pty device since lots of hosts have LEGACY_PTYS disabled. This had always been failing on such hosts, but silently.

2007-07-16uml: DEBUG_SHIRQ fixesEduard-Gabriel Munteanu
DEBUG_SHIRQ generates spurious interrupts, triggering handlers such as mconsole_interrupt() or line_interrupt(). They expect data to be available to be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends. Setting those fd's as O_NONBLOCK makes DEBUG_SHIRQ-enabled UML kernels boot and run correctly.

2007-07-16uml: fix request->sector updateJeff Dike
It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count. In this case, the update will dereference a freed pointer. To avoid this, I delay the update until processing the next sg segment, when the request pointer is known to be good.

2007-07-16serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250Yinghai Lu
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=> register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0. that is too late. Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature. and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically. new command line will be: console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 or earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 it will print in very early stage: Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8') console [uart0] enabled later for console it will print: console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0] Signed-off-by: <yinghai.lu@sun.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-07-16[SPARC64]: Initial LDOM cpu hotplug support.David S. Miller
Only adding cpus is supports at the moment, removal will come next. When new cpus are configured, the machine description is updated. When we get the configure request we pass in a cpu mask of to-be-added cpus to the mdesc CPU node parser so it only fetches information for those cpus. That code also proceeds to update the SMT/multi-core scheduling bitmaps. cpu_up() does all the work and we return the status back over the DS channel. CPUs via dr-cpu need to be booted straight out of the hypervisor, and this requires: 1) A new trampoline mechanism. CPUs are booted straight out of the hypervisor with MMU disabled and running in physical addresses with no mappings installed in the TLB. The new hvtramp.S code sets up the critical cpu state, installs the locked TLB mappings for the kernel, and turns the MMU on. It then proceeds to follow the logic of the existing trampoline.S SMP cpu bringup code. 2) All calls into OBP have to be disallowed when domaining is enabled. Since cpus boot straight into the kernel from the hypervisor, OBP has no state about that cpu and therefore cannot handle being invoked on that cpu. Luckily it's only a handful of interfaces which can be called after the OBP device tree is obtained. For example, rebooting, halting, powering-off, and setting options node variables. CPU removal support will require some infrastructure changes here. Namely we'll have to process the requests via a true kernel thread instead of in a workqueue. workqueues run on a per-cpu thread, but when unconfiguring we might need to force the thread to execute on another cpu if the current cpu is the one being removed. Removal of a cpu also causes the kernel to destroy that cpu's workqueue running thread. Another issue on removal is that we may have interrupts still pointing to the cpu-to-be-removed. So new code will be needed to walk the active INO list and retarget those cpus as-needed. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-07-16[SPARC64]: Abstract out mdesc accesses for better MD update handling.David S. Miller
Since we have to be able to handle MD updates, having an in-tree set of data structures representing the MD objects actually makes things more painful. The MD itself is easy to parse, and we can implement the existing interfaces using direct parsing of the MD binary image. The MD is now reference counted, so accesses have to now take the form: handle = mdesc_grab(); ... operations on MD ... mdesc_release(handle); The only remaining issue are cases where code holds on to references to MD property values. mdesc_get_property() returns a direct pointer to the property value, most cases just pull in the information they need and discard the pointer, but there are few that use the pointer directly over a long lifetime. Those will be fixed up in a subsequent changeset. A preliminary handler for MD update events from domain services is there, it is rudimentry but it works and handles all of the reference counting. It does not check the generation number of the MDs, and it does not generate a "add/delete" list for notification to interesting parties about MD changes but that will be forthcoming.

2007-07-16[SPARC64]: Assorted LDC bug cures.David S. Miller
1) LDC_MODE_RELIABLE is deprecated an unused by anything, plus it and LDC_MODE_STREAM were mis-numbered. 2) read_stream() should try to read as much as possible into the per-LDC stream buffer area, so do not trim the read_nonraw() length by the caller's size parameter. 3) Send data ACKs when necessary in read_nonraw(). 4) In read_nonraw() when we get a pure ACK, advance the RX head unconditionally past it. 5) Provide the ACKID field in the ldcdgb() packet dump in read_nonraw(). This helps debugging stream mode LDC channel problems. 6) Decrease verbosity of rx_data_wait() so that it is more useful. A debugging message each loop iteration is too much. 7) In process_data_ack() stop the loop checking when we hit lp->tx_tail not lp->tx_head. 8) Set the seqid field properly in send_data_nack().

2007-07-16[SPARC64]: Do not ACK an INO if it is disabled or inprogress.David S. Miller
This is also a partial workaround for a bug in the LDOM firmware which double-transmits RX inos during high load. Without this, such an event causes the kernel to loop forever in the interrupt call chain ACK'ing but never actually running the IRQ handler (and thus clearing the interrupt condition in the device). There is still a bad potential effect when double INOs occur, not covered by this changeset. Namely, if the INO is already on the per-cpu INO vector list, we still blindly re-insert it and thus we can end up losing interrupts already linked in after it. We could deal with that by traversing the list before insertion, but that's too expensive for this edge case. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-16[SPARC64]: Add LDOM virtual channel driver and VIO device layer.David S. Miller
Virtual devices on Sun Logical Domains are built on top of a virtual channel framework. This, with help of hypervisor interfaces, provides a link layer protocol with basic handshaking over which virtual device clients and servers communicate. Built on top of this is a VIO device protocol which has it's own handshaking and message types. At this layer attributes are exchanged (disk size, network device addresses, etc.) descriptor rings are registered, and data transfers are triggers and replied to. Signed-off-by: David S.
