2006-03-26[PATCH] kprobes: fix broken fault handling for powerpc64Prasanna S Panchamukhi
Provide proper kprobes fault handling, if a user-specified pre/post handlers tries to access user address space, through copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. The user-specified fault handler gets called only if the fault occurs while executing user-specified handlers. In such a case user-specified handler is allowed to fix it first, later if the user-specifed fault handler does not fix it, we try to fix it by calling fix_exception(). The user-specified handler will not be called if the fault happens when single stepping the original instruction, instead we reset the current probe and allow the system page fault handler to fix it up.

2006-03-26[PATCH] kprobe handler: discard user space trapbibo,mao
Currently kprobe handler traps only happen in kernel space, so function kprobe_exceptions_notify should skip traps which happen in user space. This patch modifies this, and it is based on 2.6.16-rc4.

2006-03-26[PATCH] kretprobe instance recycled by parent processbibo mao
When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never be recycled. In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.

2006-03-23[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversionsAndrew Morton
When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

2006-03-22[PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanupDavid Gibson
Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping. is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own. Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never used. In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range, whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed). This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to set up new areas for use by hugepages.

2006-03-22[PATCH] powerpc: Unconfuse htab_bolt_mapping() callersMichael Ellerman
htab_bolt_mapping() takes a vstart and pstart parameter, but all but one of its callers actually pass it vstart and vstart. Luckily before it passes paddr (calculated from paddr) to the hpte_insert routines it calls virt_to_abs() (aka. __pa()) on the address, so there isn't actually a bug. map_io_page() however does pass pstart properly, so currently it's broken AFAICT because we're calling __pa(paddr) which will get us something very large. Presumably no one's calling map_io_page() in the right context. Anyway, change htab_bolt_mapping() callers to properly pass pstart, and then use it properly in htab_bolt_mapping(), ie. don't call __pa() on it again. Booted on p5 LPAR, iSeries and Power3.

Set nodes online as resources are scanned. Fall back to node 0 only when we're sure this isn't a NUMA machine. Instead of defaulting to node 0 for cases of hot-adding a resource which doesn't belong to any initialized node, assign it to the first online node.

2006-03-16powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwardsPaul Mackerras
The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond. There were two reasons: (1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31 timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and (2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards when the timebase factor gets reduced. This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in 2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b) adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock and the timer interrupt is late). In this case the adjustment will reduce to zero eventually because of (a). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The lparcfg code needs several things which are pretty arcane internal details and which we don't want to export, which means that lparcfg doesn't work when built as a module. This makes it a bool instead of a tristate in the Kconfig so that users can't try to build it as a module. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
