2007-08-10[POWERPC] Revert "[POWERPC] Add 'mdio' to bus scan id list for platforms ↵Kim Phillips
with QE UEC" This reverts commit 3baee955953957be5496cd28e9c544d9db214262. That commit was a mistake from the start; I added mdio type to the bus scan list early on in my ucc_geth migrate to phylib development, which is just pure wrong (the ucc_geth_mii driver creates the mii bus and the PHY layer handles PHY enumeration without translation). This follows on from commit 77926826f301fbd8ed96d3cd9ff17a5b59560dfb: Revert "[POWERPC] Don't complain if size-cells == 0 in prom_parse()" which was basically trying to hide a symptom of the original mistake this revert fixes.

2007-08-10[POWERPC] cell: Move SPU affinity init to spu_management_of_opsAndre Detsch
This patch moves affinity initialization code from spu_base.c to a new spu_management_of_ops function (init_affinity), which is empty in the case of PS3. This fixes a linking problem that was happening when compiling for PS3. Also, some small code style changes were made.

2007-08-10[POWERPC] Fix potential duplicate entry in SLB shadow bufferPaul Mackerras
We were getting a duplicate entry in the SLB shadow buffer in slb_flush_and_rebolt() if the kernel stack was in the same segment as PAGE_OFFSET, which on POWER6 causes the hypervisor to terminate the partition with an error. This fixes it. Also we were not creating an SLB entry (or an SLB shadow buffer entry) for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when starting the CPU. This isn't a major problem, since an appropriate entry will be created on demand, but this fixes that also for consistency. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-08-09SLUB: Fix dynamic dma kmalloc cache creationChristoph Lameter
The dynamic dma kmalloc creation can run into trouble if a GFP_ATOMIC allocation is the first one performed for a certain size of dma kmalloc slab. - Move the adding of the slab to sysfs into a workqueue (sysfs does GFP_KERNEL allocations) - Do not call kmem_cache_destroy() (uses slub_lock) - Only acquire the slub_lock once and--if we cannot wait--do a trylock. This introduces a slight risk of the first kmalloc(x, GFP_DMA|GFP_ATOMIC) for a range of sizes failing due to another process holding the slub_lock. However, we only need to acquire the spinlock once in order to establish each power of two DMA kmalloc cache. The possible conflict is with the slub_lock taken during slab management actions (create / remove slab cache). It is rather typical that a driver will first fill its buffers using GFP_KERNEL allocations which will wait until the slub_lock can be acquired. Drivers will also create its slab caches first outside of an atomic context before starting to use atomic kmalloc from an interrupt context. If there are any failures then they will occur early after boot or when loading of multiple drivers concurrently. Drivers can already accomodate failures of GFP_ATOMIC for other reasons. Retries will then create the slab. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
2007-08-09SLUB: Remove checks for MAX_PARTIAL from kmem_cache_shrinkChristoph Lameter
The MAX_PARTIAL checks were supposed to be an optimization. However, slab shrinking is a manually triggered process either through running slabinfo or by the kernel calling kmem_cache_shrink. If one really wants to shrink a slab then all operations should be done regardless of the size of the partial list. This also fixes an issue that could surface if the number of partial slabs was initially above MAX_PARTIAL in kmem_cache_shrink and later drops below MAX_PARTIAL through the elimination of empty slabs on the partial list (rare). In that case a few slabs may be left off the partial list (and only be put back when they are empty). Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

UIO currently contains a rather dubious statement which wants removing. The actual questions around whether user space code that depends tightly on kernel GPL code designed to co-work with it are derivative works of the kernel is extremely complex, and since we don't have space for either a masters length essay on legal issues or need to start flamewars lets simply remove the comment and leave law to lawyers Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <tovalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-08-09lguest: avoid shared libraries mapped over guest memoryRonald G. Minnich
Some versions of ld.so mmap the shared libraries right in over guest memory, so compile lguest statically by default. [ FC7 maps shared libraries very low, where the launcher maps guest's physical memory. Quick fix is to link Launcher static, real fix is for 2.6.24. ] -static is a simple fix.

2007-08-09lguest: Fix Malicious Guest GDT Host CrashRusty Russell
If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of altering GDT entries which will cause a fault. The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault. This has the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the case of any other bugs which cause it to fault. We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it changes them.

2007-08-09Fix non-TSC guest clocksource lockupRusty Russell
lguest uses a host-supplied wallclock-based clocksource when the TSC is not reliable. As this is already in nanoseconds, I naively used a multiplier of 1 and a shift of 0. But update_wall_time() in its infinite wisdom decides to adjust the clock a little (where does it think it's getting a more accurate time from?) It will happily tweak the multiplier... to 0, then -1. So the "fix" is to use a shift of 22 like everyone else, and a multiplier of 1 << 22.
