2008-11-01saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

2008-11-01file caps: always start with clear bprm->caps_*Serge Hallyn
While Linux doesn't honor setuid on scripts. However, it mistakenly behaves differently for file capabilities. This patch fixes that behavior by making sure that get_file_caps() begins with empty bprm->caps_*. That way when a script is loaded, its bprm->caps_* may be filled when binfmt_misc calls prepare_binprm(), but they will be cleared again when binfmt_elf calls prepare_binprm() next to read the interpreter's file capabilities.

2008-10-31libata: add whitelist for devices with known good pata-sata bridgesJens Axboe
libata currently imposes a UDMA5 max transfer rate and 200 sector max transfer size for SATA devices that sit behind a pata-sata bridge. Lots of devices have known good bridges that don't need this limit applied. The MTRON SSD disks are such devices. Transfer rates are increased by 20-30% with the restriction removed. So add a "blacklist" entry for the MTRON devices, with a flag indicating that the bridge is known good. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-10-31sata_via: fix support for 5287Tejun Heo
5287 used to be treated as vt6420 but it didn't work. It's new family of controllers called vt8251 which hosts four SATA ports as M/S of the two ATA ports. This configuration is rather peculiar in that although the M/S devices are on the same port, each have its own SCR (or equivalent link status/control) registers which screws up the port-link-device hierarchy assumed by libata. Another controller which falls into this category is ata_piix w/ SIDPR access. libata now has facility to deal with this class of controllers named slave_link. A low level driver for such controllers can just call ata_slave_link_init() on the respective ports and libata will handle all the difficult parts like following up with single SRST after hardresetting both ports. This patch creates new controller class vt8251, implements slave_link aware init sequence and config space based SCR access for it and moves 5287 to the new class. This patch is based on Joseph Chan's larger patch which was created before slave_link was implemented in libata. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.commits.mm/40640 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Joseph Chan <JosephChan@via.com.tw> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-10-31libata: Avoid overflow in ata_tf_to_lba48() when tf->hba_lbal > 127Roland Dreier
In ata_tf_to_lba48(), when evaluating (tf->hob_lbal & 0xff) << 24 the expression is promoted to signed int (since int can hold all values of u8). However, if hob_lbal is 128 or more, then it is treated as a negative signed value and sign-extended when promoted to u64 to | into sectors, which leads to the MSB 32 bits of section getting set incorrectly. For example, Phillip O'Donnell <phillip.odonnell@gmail.com> reported that a 1.5GB drive caused: ata3.00: HPA detected: current 2930277168, native 18446744072344861488 where 2930277168 == 0xAEA87B30 and 18446744072344861488 == 0xffffffffaea87b30 which shows the problem when hob_lbal is 0xae.

Currently, the array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE).

2008-10-31powerpc/mpic: Fix regression caused by change of default IRQ affinityKumar Gala
The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt. This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)") to be all CPUs.

2008-10-31powerpc: Update remaining dma_mapping_ops to use map/unmap_pageMark Nelson
After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use map/unmap_page. First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single() becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments. This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls unmap_page(). This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

Currently, the numa_node of OF-devices will be overwritten during device_register, which simply sets the node to -1. On cell machines, this means that devices can't find their IOMMU, which is referenced through the device's numa node. Set the numa node for OF devices with no parent, and use the lower-level device_initialize and device_add functions, so that the node is preserved.

2008-10-31powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext sizeMichael Neuling
Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t; the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new larger size with the extra VSX state. A program using the sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked. This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated. [paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls] Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem.

Commit 549e8152de8039506f69c677a4546e5427aa6ae7 ("powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a relocatable kernel. However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

2008-10-31powerpc/ppc64/kdump: Better flag for running relocatableMilton Miller
The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development. As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus (entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0. Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because: - It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data. - It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag - It had no way of identifying that the flag was present - It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code before branching, which hurts debug. - It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes) Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load. Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at 0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.

2008-10-31powerpc: Kexec exit should not use magic numbersMilton Miller
Commit 54622f10a6aabb8bb2bdacf3dd070046f03dc246 ("powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong and is reverted by this commit. The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space. Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated entry point (after turning "off" the mmu). The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool, where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols. Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly) if something needs to happen.
