2005-05-17[PATCH] dvb: flexcop: fix USB transfer handlingJohannes Stezenbach
- driver receives many null TS packets (pid=0x1fff). They occupy the limited USB bandwidth and this leads to loss of video packets. Enabling the null packet filter fixes this. - packets that flexcop sends to USB have a 2 byte header that has to be removed. - sometimes a TS packet is split between different urbs. These parts have to be combined in a temporary buffer.

2005-05-17[PATCH] selinux: fix avc_alloc_node() oom with no policy loadedStephen Smalley
This patch should fix the avc_alloc_node() oom condition that Andrew reported when no policy is loaded in SELinux. Prior to this patch, when no policy was loaded, the SELinux "security server" (policy engine) was only returning allowed decisions for the requested permissions for each access check. This caused the cache to thrash when trying to use SELinux for real work with no policy loaded (typically, the no policy loaded state is only for bootstrapping to the point where we can load an initial policy). This patch changes the SELinux security server to return the complete allowed access vector at once, and then to reset the cache after the initial policy load to flush the initial cache state created during bootstrapping.

2005-05-17[PATCH] block_read_full_page() get_block() error handling fixAndrew Morton
If block_read_full_page() detects an error when running get_block() it will run SetPageError(), then it will zero out the block in pagecache and will mark the buffer_head uptodate. So at the end of readahead we end up with a non-uptodate pagecache page which is marked PageError. But it has uptodate buffers. The pagefault code will run ClearPageError, will launch readpage a second time and block_read_full_page() will notice the uptodate buffers and will mark the page uptodate as well. We end up with an uptodate, !PageError page full of zeros and the error is lost. (It seems a little odd that filemap_nopage() runs ClearPageError(). I guess all of this adds up to meaning that for each attempted access to the page, the pagefault handler will retry the I/O. Which is good and bad. If the app is ignoring SIGBUS for some reason we could get a lot of back-to-back I/O errors.) Fix it by not marking the pagecache buffer_head as uptodate if the attempt to map that buffer to a disk block failed.

2005-05-17[PATCH] spurious interrupt fixZhang, Yanmin
On my IA64 machine, after kernel 2.6.12-rc3 boots, an edge-triggered interrupt (IRQ 46) keeps triggered over and over again. There is no IRQ 46 interrupt action handler. It has lots of impact on performance. Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem. Basically, kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is triggered for the second time and its status includes IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING. Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c. The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to IRQ_DISABLE. Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent codes, i.e. kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.

2005-05-17[PATCH] CDRW/DVD packet writing data corruption fixPeter Osterlund
I found a bug in the packet writing driver that could cause data corruption. The problem arised if the driver got a write request for a sector in a "zone" it was already working on. In that case it was supposed to queue the write request until it was done processing earlier requests for the same zone, and instead work on some other zone in the mean time. However, if there was no other zone to work on, the driver would initiate two packet_data objects for the same zone, causing unpredictable things to happen.

This patch removes the assumption that LAPIC entries contain the BSP as its first entry.

Since the parsing earlier in arch/x86_64/kernel/mpparse.c stopped after maxcpus entries, other entries were not processed, this causes kernel not to boot on these systems.

Collected NMI watchdog fixes. - Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog - Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later.

2005-05-17[PATCH] x86_64: Add pmtimer supportAndi Kleen
There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge. This covers in particular Nvidia and VIA chipsets. They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs. The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems. But this doesn't work there. Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source. This patch does that. The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice because it has some disadvantages. Ported over from i386. It should be faster than the i386 version because I dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be disabled.

2005-05-17[PATCH] x86_64: Update TSC sync algorithmAndi Kleen
The new TSC sync algorithm recently submitted did not work too well. The result was that some MP machines where the TSC came up of the BIOS very unsynchronized and that did not have HPET support were nearly unusable because the time would jump forwards and backwards between CPUs. After a lot of research ;-) and some more prototypes I ended up with just using the one from IA64 which looks best. It has some internal self tuning that should adapt to changing interconnect latencies. It holds up in my tests so far. I believe it was originally written by David Mosberger, I just ported it over to x86-64. See the inline comment for a description. This cleans up the code because it uses smp_call_function for syncing instead of having custom hooks in SMP bootup. Please note that the cycle numbers it outputs are too optimistic because they do not take into account the latency of WRMSR and RDTSC, which can be hundreds of cycles. It seems to be able to sync a dual Opteron to 200-300 cycles, which is probably good enough. There is a timing window during AP bootup where interrupts can see inconsistent time before the TSC is synced. It is hard to avoid unfortunately because we can only do the TSC sync after some setup, and we need to enable interrupts before that. I just ignored it for now.

2005-05-17[PATCH] x86_64: Don't look up struct page pointer of physical address in iounmapAndi Kleen
It could be in a memory hole not mapped in mem_map and that causes the hash lookup to go off to nirvana. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-17[PATCH] x86_64/i386: fix defaults for physical/core id in /proc/cpuinfoAndi Kleen
Last round hopefully of cpu_core_id changes hopefully fow now: - Always initialize cpu_core_id for all CPUs, even when no dual core setup is detected. This prevents funny /proc/cpuinfo output - Do the same with phys_proc_id[] even when no HyperThreading - dito. - Use the CPU APIC-ID from CPUID 1 instead of the linux virtual CPU number to identify the core for AMD dual core setups.
