2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: s390: move sysctl definitions to sysctl.hEric W. Biederman
We need to have the the definition of all top level sysctl directories registers in sysctl.h so we don't conflict by accident and cause abi problems. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/mips/lasat/sysctl.c and remove ABI breakageEric W. Biederman
While C99 converting the ctl_table initializers I realized that the binary sysctl numbers were in conflict with the binary values under CTL_KERN. Including CTL_KERN KERN_VERSION as used by glibc. So I just removed the sysctl binary interface for these values, as it was unsupportable. Luckily these sysctl were inserted at the end of the sysctl list so this bug was not visible to userspace.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: mips/au1000: remove sys_sysctl supportEric W. Biederman
The assignment of binary numbers for sys_sysctl use was in shambles and despite requiring methods. Nothing was implemented on the sys_sysctl side. So this patch gives a mercy killing to the sys_sysctl support for powermanagment on mips/au1000. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakageEric W. Biederman
This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers. While I was looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate. So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid the ABI conflict. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: sn: remove sysctl ABI BREAKAGEEric W. Biederman
By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't break glibc. This is totally irresponsible. So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl support from their sysctl code. Hopefully they don't have ascii name conflicts as well. And now that they have no ABI numbers add them to the end instead of the sysctl list instead of the head so nothing else will be overridden. Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: cdrom: don't set de->ownerEric W. Biederman
There is no need for open files in /proc/sys/XXX to hold a reference count on the module that provides the file to prevent module unload races. While there is code active in the module p->used in the sysctl_table_header is incremented, preventing the sysctl from being unregisted. Once the sysctl is unregistered it cannot be found. Open files are also not a problem as they revalidate the sysctl information and bump p->used before accessing module code. So setting de->owner is unnecessary, makes for a bad example and gets in my way of removing ctl_table->de. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: x25: remove unnecessary insert_at_head from ↵Eric W. Biederman
register_sysctl_table There has not been much maintenance on sysctl in years, and as a result is there is a lot to do to allow future interesting work to happen, and being ambitious I'm trying to do it all at once :) The patches in this series fall into several general categories. - Removal of useless attempts to override the standard sysctls - Registers of sysctl numbers in sysctl.h so someone else does not use the magic number and conflict. - C99 conversions so it becomes possible to change the layout of struct ctl_table without breaking everything. - Removal of useless claims of module ownership, in the proc dir entries - Removal of sys_sysctl support where people had used conflicting sysctl numbers. Trying to break glibc or other applications by changing the ABI is not cool. 9 instances of this in the kernel seems a little extreme. - General enhancements when I got the junk I could see out. This patch: Since x25 uses unique binary numbers inserting yourself at the head of the search list for sysctls so you can override already registered sysctls is pointless. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-14[PATCH] 8250 UART backup timerAlex Williamson
The patch below works around a minor bug found in the UART of the remote management card used in many HP ia64 and parisc servers (aka the Diva UARTs). The problem is that the UART does not reassert the THRE interrupt if it has been previously cleared and the IIR THRI bit is re-enabled. This can produce a very annoying failure mode when used as a serial console, allowing a boot/reboot to hang indefinitely until an RX interrupt kicks it into working again (ie. an unattended reboot could stall). To solve this problem, a backup timer is introduced that runs alongside the standard interrupt driven mechanism. This timer wakes up periodically, checks for a hang condition and gets characters moving again. This backup mechanism is only enabled if the UART is detected as having this problem, so systems without these UARTs will have no additional overhead. This version of the patch incorporates previous comments from Pavel and removes races in the bug detection code. The test is now done before the irq linking to prevent races with interrupt handler clearing the THRE interrupt. Short delays and syncs are also added to ensure the device is able to update register state before the result is tested. Aristeu says: this was tested on the following HP machines and solved the problem: rx2600, rx2620, rx1600 and rx1620s. hpa says: I have seen this same bug in soft UART IP from "a major vendor."
