2005-04-29[PATCH] fix ia64 syscall auditingAmy Griffis
Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and signal handling code paths.The patch enables auditing of system calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn. Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.

2005-04-29[AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments, but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that. While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made, because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall. Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register rather than only returning a single register. Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-04-25[IA64] vector sharing (Large I/O system support)Kenji Kaneshige
Current ia64 linux cannot handle greater than 184 interrupt sources because of the lack of vectors. The following patch enables ia64 linux to handle greater than 184 interrupt sources by allowing the same vector number to be shared by multiple IOSAPIC's RTEs. The design of this patch is besed on "Intel(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family Interrupt Architecture Guide". Even if you don't have a large I/O system, you can see the behavior of vector sharing by changing IOSAPIC_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR to fewer value.

2005-04-25[IA64] fix syscall-optimization goofDavid Mosberger-Tang
Sadly, I goofed in this syscall-tuning patch: ChangeSet 1.1966.1.40 2005/01/22 13:31:05 davidm@hpl.hp.com [IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores. Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores. The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3. Good for a 13 cycle improvement. The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17). Since r17 by coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning rse_clear_invalid into a no-op. That poses the risk of leaking kernel state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable. The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles in syscall overhead. ;-( Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those registers have to be cleared one way or another. --david Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-25[IA64] perfmon: make pfm_sysctl a global, and other cleanupStephane Eranian
- make pfm_sysctl a global such that it is possible to enable/disable debug printk in sampling formats using PFM_DEBUG. - remove unused pfm_debug_var variable - fix a bug in pfm_handle_work where an BUG_ON() could be triggered. There is a path where pfm_handle_work() can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. The fix correct the masking and unmasking of interrupts in pfm_handle_work() such that we restore the interrupt mask as it was upon entry. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-25[IA64] speed up syscall path a bit moreDavid Mosberger-Tang
Recently I noticed that clearing ar.ssd/ar.csd right before srlz.d is causing significant stalling in the syscall path. The patch below fixes that by moving the register-writes after srlz.d. On a Madison, this drops break-based getpid() from 241 to 226 cycles (-15 cycles). Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-25[IA64] Tighten up unw_unwind_to_user checkKeith Owens
Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK set, instead of a user space IP. Tighten up the last ditch check for running off the top of the kernel stack. Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current tree. This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels. Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so gdb can get the user space registers. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-04-22[IA64] cpu hotplug: return offlined cpus to SALAshok Raj
This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop. For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in SAL specification section 3.2.5.1 "OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return State" Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
