2008-07-04Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms dataBastian Blank
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel. The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol. This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the __end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data. On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some space between that two areas.

2008-06-20alpha: resurrect Cypress IDE quirkIvan Kokshaysky
Which was removed in the hope that generic legacy IDE quirk in drivers/pci/probe.c is sufficient for Cypress IDE. It isn't, as this controller has non-standard BAR layout: secondary channel registers are in the BAR0-1 of the second PCI function - not in the BAR2-3 of the same function, as the generic quirk routine assumes.

2008-06-20alpha: fix compile failures with gcc-4.3 (bug #10438)Ivan Kokshaysky
Vast majority of these build failures are gcc-4.3 warnings about static functions and objects being referenced from non-static (read: "extern inline") functions, in conjunction with our -Werror. We cannot just convert "extern inline" to "static inline", as people keep suggesting all the time, because "extern inline" logic is crucial for generic kernel build. So - just make sure that all callees of critical "extern inline" functions are also "extern inline"; - use "static inline", wherever it's possible. traps.c: work around gcc-4.3 being too smart about array bounds-checking. TODO: add "gnu_inline" attribute to all our "extern inline" functions to ensure desired behaviour with future compilers.

2008-06-05genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)Max Krasnyansky
Current IRQ affinity interface does not provide a way to set affinity for the IRQs that will be allocated/activated in the future. This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing the default does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they have to be changed explicitly. Updated based on Paul J's comments and added some more documentation.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2008-02-13xtime_lock vs update_process_timesPeter Zijlstra
Commit d3d74453c34f8fd87674a8cf5b8a327c68f22e99 ("hrtimer: fixup the HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm sending this for merger. I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel. That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested. The deadlock in question was found by Russell: IRQ handle -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write -> update_process_times() -> run_local_timers() -> hrtimer_run_queues() -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be removed from under it.

2008-02-08aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUTDavid Howells
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set. Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either. To make this work, this patch also does the following: (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT core dumping code. (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than the core kernel. (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not needed) and FRV. This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT format is available.

2008-02-06get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_openEric Dumazet
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.

This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-01-28all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.hSam Ravnborg
This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in the generic vmlinux.lds.h. This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy us much good. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2007-12-17alpha: build fixesIvan Kokshaysky
This fixes some of the alpha-specific build problems, except a) modpost warning about COMMON symbol "saved_config" and b) nasty final link failure with gcc-4.x, -Os and scsi-disk driver configured built-in (due to jump table in .rodata referencing discarded .exit.text). - build failure with gcc-4.2.x: fix up casts in cia_io* routines to avoid warnings ('discards qualifiers from pointer target type'), which are failures, thanks to -Werror; - modpost warnings: add missing __init qualifier for titan and marvel; for non-generic build, move machine vectors from .data to .data.init.refok section; - unbreak CPU-specific optimization: rearrange cpuflags-y assignments so that extended -mcpu value (ev56, pca56, ev67) overrides basic one (ev5, ev6) and not vice versa.

2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)Alexey Dobriyan
One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code.

2007-10-16alpha: beautify vmlinux.ldsSam Ravnborg
Introduced a consistent style in vmlinux.lds and it now matches the soon-to-be common style for all arch's vmlinux.lds files. In addition: - Replaced hardcoded constant with PAGE_SIZE - Fix page.h so PAGE_SIZE can be used from assembler and in lds files - Move a few labels inside brackets so linker alignment will not make label point ot a too low address - Replaced DWARF and STABS sections with definitions from asm-generic Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-10-16alpha: convert to generic sys_ptraceChristoph Hellwig
This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace. We use force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer down to the function. I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct, but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before commiting :) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
