Following patch enables depmod support when installing external modules. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: avoid stale modules in $(MODVERDIR) for external modulesSam Ravnborg
To avoid stale modules located in $(MODVERDIR) aka .tmp_versions/ always delete the directory when building an external module. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: Accept various mips sub-types in SUBARCHMartin Michlmayr
uname -m on MIPS can give a number of results, such as mips64. We need to add another substitution to the sed call for SUBARCH in the main Makefile. Signed-off-by: Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-02-19kbuild: warn about duplicate exported symbolsSam Ravnborg
In modpost introduce a check for symbols exported twice. This check caught only one victim (inet_bind_bucket_create) for which a patch is already sent to netdev. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: improved modversioning support for external modulesSam Ravnborg
With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain symbol information from a second external module when a external module is build. The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but that may be impractical in certain cases. With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available for another external module. Updated documentation in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-02-19kbuild: support building individual files for external modulesSam Ravnborg
Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules. So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o and fun.o. You can then do: make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / <= will build all .o files and link foo.o make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko <= will build the module and do the modpost step to create foo.ko The above will also work if the external module is placed in a subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files. Thanks to Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> for initial feature request / bug report. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-02-17[PATCH] ACPI: fix vendor resource length computationBjorn Helgaas
acpi_rs_get_list_length() needs to account for all the vendor-defined data bytes. Failing to include these causes buffers to be sized too small, which causes slab corruption when we later convert AML to resources and run off the end of the buffer. This causes slab corruption on machines that use ACPI vendor-defined resources. All HP ia64 machines do, and I'm told that some NEC machines may as well.

2006-02-17[PATCH] s390: smp initialization speedHeiko Carstens
The last changes that introduced the additional_cpus command line parameter also introduced a regression regarding smp initialization speed. In smp_setup_cpu_possible_map() cpu_present_map is set to the same value as cpu_possible_map. Especially that means that bits in the present map will be set for cpus that are not present. This will cause a slow down in the initial cpu_up() loop in smp_init() since trying to take cpus online that aren't present takes a while. Fix this by setting only bits for present cpus in cpu_present_map and set cpu_present_map to cpu_possible_map in smp_cpus_done().

If it is desired that additional cpus can be attached to the system the maximum number of additional cpus needs to be specified with this option.

2006-02-17[PATCH] Introduce CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COSTIngo Molnar
Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> wrote: The boot sequence on s390 sometimes takes ages and we spend a very long time (up to one or two minutes) in calibrate_migration_costs. The time spent there differs from boot to boot. Also the calculated costs differ a lot. I've seen differences by up to a factor of 15 (yes, factor not percent). Also I doubt that making these measurements make much sense on a completely virtualized architecture where you cannot tell how much cpu time you will get anyway. So introduce the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST method for an architecture to set the scheduler migration costs. This turns off automatic detection of migration costs. Makes sense on virtual platforms, where migration costs are hard to measure accurately.

2006-02-17[PATCH] fix deadlock in ext2Peter Staubach
Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.

2006-02-17[PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick lengthPaul Mackerras
This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally. The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length. Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that it was (still) correct. The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one, we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length. Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can be fixed up at the next tick.

2006-02-17[PATCH] Handle all and empty zones when setting up custom zonelists for mbindAndi Kleen
The memory allocator doesn't like empty zones (which have an uninitialized freelist), so a x86-64 system with a node fully in GFP_DMA32 only would crash on mbind. Fix that up by putting all possible zones as fallback into the zonelist and skipping the empty ones. In fact the code always enough allocated space for all zones, but only used it for the highest. This change just uses all the memory that was allocated before. This should work fine for now, but whoever implements node hot removal needs to fix this somewhere else too (or make sure zone datastructures by itself never go away, only their memory) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
