2006-11-20Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initializationLinus Torvalds
This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so. Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that needs is right now is cpufreq. As reported by Thomas Gleixner: "Commit b4dfdbb3c707474a2254c5b4d7e62be31a4b7da9 ("[PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU breaks cpu frequency notification users, which register the callback > on core_init level."

2006-11-14[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins
(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: Fix vgetcpu when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabledAndi Kleen
The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. On the others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly and vgetcpu wouldn't work. Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled with an hotplug notifier. This actually simplifies the code somewhat. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-11-14[PATCH] x86: Add acpi_user_timer_override option for Asus boardsAndi Kleen
Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.

We don't know yet how to handle this transparently, but at least add a command line option to force the timer override and let them boot.

2006-11-06[PATCH] sysctl: allow a zero ctl_name in the middle of a sysctl tableEric W. Biederman
Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address the sysctl maintenance issues. The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated. By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary sysctl value when not needed. I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So this change in behavior should not affect anything. I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

2006-11-05[SPARC]: Fix robust futex syscalls and wire up migrate_pages.David S. Miller
When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS. The current situation is error-prone because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit checks are enforced. Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to make this mistake much more difficult to make. And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the compat wrapper for us.

2006-11-05[IPX]: Annotate and fix IPX checksumAl Viro
Calculation of IPX checksum got buggered about 2.4.0. The old variant mangled the packet; that got fixed, but calculation itself got buggered. Restored the correct logics, fixed a subtle breakage we used to have even back then: if the sum is 0 mod 0xffff, we want to return 0, not 0xffff. The latter has special meaning for IPX (cheksum disabled). Observation (and obvious fix) nicked from history of FreeBSD ipx_cksum.c...

2006-11-03[PATCH] swsusp: debuggingRafael J. Wysocki
Add a swsusp debugging mode. This does everything that's needed for a suspend except for actually suspending. So we can look in the log messages and work out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving. (1) # echo testproc > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5 seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU. (2) # echo test > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc. Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: Stefan Seyfried <seife@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-11-03[PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit()Andrew Morton
printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency. Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to permit more flexibility. This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting and is perhaps poorly named.

2006-11-03[PATCH] fix UFS superblock alignment issuesEric Sandeen
ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic. This is because ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct. Forcing this to be packed solves it. I took a quick look over other on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems. I was able to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.
