2009-01-21inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0) time.Evgeniy Polyakov
With simple extension to the binding mechanism, which allows to bind more than 64k sockets (or smaller amount, depending on sysctl parameters), we have to traverse the whole bind hash table to find out empty bucket. And while it is not a problem for example for 32k connections, bind() completion time grows exponentially (since after each successful binding we have to traverse one bucket more to find empty one) even if we start each time from random offset inside the hash table. So, when hash table is full, and we want to add another socket, we have to traverse the whole table no matter what, so effectivelly this will be the worst case performance and it will be constant. Attached picture shows bind() time depending on number of already bound sockets. Green area corresponds to the usual binding to zero port process, which turns on kernel port selection as described above. Red area is the bind process, when number of reuse-bound sockets is not limited by 64k (or sysctl parameters). The same exponential growth (hidden by the green area) before number of ports reaches sysctl limit. At this time bind hash table has exactly one reuse-enbaled socket in a bucket, but it is possible that they have different addresses. Actually kernel selects the first port to try randomly, so at the beginning bind will take roughly constant time, but with time number of port to check after random start will increase. And that will have exponential growth, but because of above random selection, not every next port selection will necessary take longer time than previous. So we have to consider the area below in the graph (if you could zoom it, you could find, that there are many different times placed there), so area can hide another. Blue area corresponds to the port selection optimization. This is rather simple design approach: hashtable now maintains (unprecise and racely updated) number of currently bound sockets, and when number of such sockets becomes greater than predefined value (I use maximum port range defined by sysctls), we stop traversing the whole bind hash table and just stop at first matching bucket after random start. Above limit roughly corresponds to the case, when bind hash table is full and we turned on mechanism of allowing to bind more reuse-enabled sockets, so it does not change behaviour of other sockets.

2009-01-21dccp: Initialisation and type-checking of feature sysctlsGerrit Renker
This patch takes care of initialising and type-checking sysctls related to feature negotiation. Type checking is important since some of the sysctls now directly impact the feature-negotiation process. The sysctls are initialised with the known default values for each feature. For the type-checking the value constraints from RFC 4340 are used: * Sequence Window uses the specified Wmin=32, the maximum is ulong (4 bytes), tested and confirmed that it works up to 4294967295 - for Gbps speed; * Ack Ratio is between 0 .. 0xffff (2-byte unsigned integer); * CCIDs are between 0 .. 255; * request_retries, retries1, retries2 also between 0..255 for good measure; * tx_qlen is checked to be non-negative; * sync_ratelimit remains as before. Notes: ------ 1. Die s@sysctl_dccp_feat@sysctl_dccp@g since the sysctls are now in feat.c. 2. As pointed out by Arnaldo, the pattern of type-checking repeats itself in other places, sometimes with exactly the same kind of definitions (e.g. "static int zero;"). It may be a good idea (kernel janitors?) to consolidate type checking. For the sake of keeping the changeset small and in order not to affect other subsystems, I have not strived to generalise here.

2009-01-21dccp: Implement both feature-local and feature-remote Sequence Window featureGerrit Renker
This adds full support for local/remote Sequence Window feature, from which the * sequence-number-validity (W) and * acknowledgment-number-validity (W') windows derive as specified in RFC 4340, 7.5.3. Specifically, the following is contained in this patch: * integrated new socket fields into dccp_sk; * updated the update_gsr/gss routines with regard to these fields; * updated handler code: the Sequence Window feature is located at the TX side, so the local feature is meant if the handler-rx flag is false; * the initialisation of `rcv_wnd' in reqsk is removed, since - rcv_wnd is not used by the code anywhere; - sequence number checks are not done in the LISTEN state (cf. 7.5.3); - dccp_check_req checks the Ack number validity more rigorously; * the `struct dccp_minisock' became empty and is now removed.

2009-01-16drm: initial KMS config fixesJesse Barnes
When mode setting is first initialized, the driver will call into drm_helper_initial_config() to set up an initial output and framebuffer configuration. This routine is responsible for probing the available connectors, encoders, and crtcs, looking for modes and putting together something reasonable (where reasonable is defined as "allows kernel messages to be visible on as many displays as possible"). However, the code was a bit too aggressive in setting default modes when none were found on a given connector. Even if some connectors had modes, any connectors found lacking modes would have the default 800x600 mode added to their mode list, which in some cases could cause problems later down the line. In my case, the LVDS was perfectly available, but the initial config code added 800x600 modes to both of the detected but unavailable HDMI connectors (which are on my non-existent docking station). This ended up preventing later code from setting a mode on my LVDS, which is bad. This patch fixes that behavior by making the initial config code walk through the connectors first, counting the available modes, before it decides to add any default modes to a possibly connected output. It also fixes the logic in drm_target_preferred() that was causing zeroed out modes to be set as the preferred mode for a given connector, even if no modes were available.

2009-01-15alpha: fix RTC on marvelIvan Kokshaysky
Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware - RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI. However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with disabled interrupts. Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions, not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective performance-wise. The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook. My changes: - tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h; - sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs). NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK, all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

It is a cleaned up version of their older Kernel patch: http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/vortex86sx/patch-2.6.24-DMP.gz Tested-by: Shawn Lin <shawn@dmp.com.tw> Signed-off-by: Brandon Philips <bphilips@suse.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2009-01-14mm: fix assertionNick Piggin
This assertion is incorrect for lockless pagecache. By definition if we have an unpinned page that we are trying to take a speculative reference to, it may become the tail of a compound page at any time (if it is freed, then reallocated as a compound page). It was still a valid assertion for the vmscan.c LRU isolation case, but it doesn't seem incredibly helpful... if somebody wants it, they can put it back directly where it applies in the vmscan code.

2009-01-14[CVE-2009-0029] System call wrapper infrastructureHeiko Carstens
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> By selecting HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS architectures can activate system call wrappers in order to sign extend system call arguments. All architectures where the ABI defines that the caller of a function has to perform sign extension probably need this.

2009-01-14[CVE-2009-0029] Convert all system calls to return a longHeiko Carstens
Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all converted types should have the same size anyway. With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't matter since the system call doesn't return. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

Impact: cleanup Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer. Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts. No fuctionality change in this patch.
