2007-07-24link lguest example launcher non-staticRusty Russell
S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory where shared libraries want to go. The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: react to Lenovo ThinkPad differences in hot keyHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Lenovo ThinkPads have a slightly different key map layout from IBM ThinkPads (fn+f2 and fn+f3 are swapped). Knowing which one we are dealing with, we can properly set a few more hot keys up by default. Also, export the correct vendor in the input device, as that information might be useful to userspace.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness controlHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface in a weird way in their latest BIOSes. Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM interface works just fine in such BIOSes. Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both. By default, do both (which is the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

Make the input layer the default way to deal with thinkpad-acpi hot keys, but add a kernel config option to retain the old way of doing things. This means we map a lot more keys to useful stuff by default, and also that we enable hot key handling by default on driver load (like Windows does).

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add input device support to hotkey subdriverHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Add input device support to the hotkey subdriver. Hot keys that have a valid keycode mapping are reported through the input layer if the input device is open. Otherwise, they will be reported as ACPI events, as they were before. Scan codes are reported (using EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events) along with EV_KEY KEY_UNKNOWN events. For backwards compatibility purposes, hot keys that used to be reported through ACPI events are not mapped to anything meaningful by default. Userspace is supposed to remap them if it wants to use the input device for hot key reporting. This patch is based on a patch by Richard Hughes <hughsient@gmail.com>.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: export to sysfs the state of the radio slider switchHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Some ThinkPad models, notably the T60 and X60, have a slider switch to enable and disable the radios. The switch has the capability of force-disabling the radios in hardware on most models, and it is supposed to affect all radios (WLAN, WWAN, BlueTooth). Export the switch state as a sysfs attribute, on ThinkPads where it is available. Thanks to Henning Schild for asking for this feature, and for tracking down the EC register that holds the radio switch state.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: export hotkey maximum masksHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The firmware knows how many hot keys it supports, so export this information in a sysfs attribute. And the driver knows which keys are always handled by the firmware in all known ThinkPad models too, so export this information as well in a sysfs attribute. Unless you know which events need to be handled in a passive way, do *not* enable hotkeys that are always handled by the firmware.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: enable more hotkeysHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Revise ACPI HKEY functionality to better interface with the firmware, and enable up to 32 regular hotkeys, instead of just 16 of them. Ouch. This takes care of most keys one used to have to do CMOS NVRAM polling on, and should drop the need for tpb, thinkpad-keys, and other such 5Hz NVRAM polling power vampires on most modern ThinkPads ;-) And, just to add insult to injury, this was sort of working since forever through the procfs interface, but nobody noticed or tried an echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey and told me it would generate weird events. ARGH! Thanks to Richard Hughes for kicking off the work that ended up with this discovery, and to Matthew Garret for calling my attention to the fact that newer ThinkPads were indeed generating ACPI GPEs when such hot keys were pressed.

2007-07-21x86_64: mcelog tolerant level cleanupTim Hockin
Background: The MCE handler has several paths that it can take, depending on various conditions of the MCE status and the value of the 'tolerant' knob. The exact semantics are not well defined and the code is a bit twisty. Description: This patch makes the MCE handler's behavior more clear by documenting the behavior for various 'tolerant' levels. It also fixes or enhances several small things in the handler. Specifically: * If RIPV is set it is not safe to restart, so set the 'no way out' flag rather than the 'kill it' flag. * Don't panic() on correctable MCEs. * If the _OVER bit is set *and* the _UC bit is set (meaning possibly dropped uncorrected errors), set the 'no way out' flag. * Use EIPV for testing whether an app can be killed (SIGBUS) rather than RIPV. According to docs, EIPV indicates that the error is related to the IP, while RIPV simply means the IP is valid to restart from. * Don't clear the MCi_STATUS registers until after the panic() path. This leaves the status bits set after the panic() so clever BIOSes can find them (and dumb BIOSes can do nothing). This patch also calls nonseekable_open() in mce_open (as suggested by akpm). Result: Tolerant levels behave almost identically to how they always have, but not it's well defined. There's a slightly higher chance of panic()ing when multiple errors happen (a good thing, IMHO). If you take an MBE and panic(), the error status bits are not cleared. Alternatives: None. Testing: I used software to inject correctable and uncorrectable errors. With tolerant = 3, the system usually survives. With tolerant = 2, the system usually panic()s (PCC) but not always. With tolerant = 1, the system always panic()s. When the system panic()s, the BIOS is able to detect that the cause of death was an MC4. I was not able to reproduce the case of a non-PCC error in userspace, with EIPV, with (tolerant < 3). That will be rare at best.

2007-07-21x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpuAndi Kleen
This implements new vDSO for x86-64. The concept is similar to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC. x86-64 has had static vsyscalls before, but these are not flexible enough anymore. A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into user address space. The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process for security reasons. Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write. The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0 It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster than the one in the old vsyscall. clock_gettime is significantly faster than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME. The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall. Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls: - Extensible - Randomized - Cleaner - Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it) Weak points: - glibc support still to be written The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.
