2005-04-24[PATCH] mostek bogus sparse annotations fixedAl Viro
void * __iomem foo is not a pointer to iomem - it's an iomem variable containing void *. A pile of such guys in arch/sparc64/kernel/time.c, drivers/sbus/char/rtc.c and include/asm-sparc64/mostek.h turned into intended void __iomem *.

2005-04-24[PATCH] missing dependency on sparc64Al Viro
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE selects vt.c; without the stuff pulled by CONFIG_VT it will not build. Normally we get both in drivers/char/Kconfig and there HW_CONSOLE depends on VT. sparc64 does not pull drivers/char/Kconfig and has that sutff in arch/sparc64/Kconfig instead. However, it forgets to add the same dependency. As the result, turning VT off [which is possible] will end up with broken build. For no good reason...

2005-04-21[SPARC]: Provide generic ioctls in Sparc RTC driver.David S. Miller
Provide support for drivers/char/rtc.c ioctls in the Mostek rtc driver as well as the Sparc specific RTCGET and RTCSET. This allows userspace to be much less messy. Currently util-linux and other spots jump through hoops trying various ioctl variants until it hits the right one whatever driver actually being used supports. Eventually all of this should move over to the genrtc.c driver, but not today... While we are here, fix up the register types for sparse. Thanks to Frans Pop for helping point out this issue.

2005-04-18[PATCH] sparc64: Fix statDavid S. Miller
Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a struct stat64 to get this stuff. I'll work on the glibc bits soon. Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc compat stat64 syscalls. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-17[PATCH] sparc64: Fix copy_sigingo_to_user32()Jurij Smakov
The compat routine to copy over this data structure was not handling SI_POLL correctly, breaking various fcntl() variants in compat tasks. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-17[PATCH] sparc64: Reduce ptrace cache flushingDavid S. Miller
We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable. All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm(). This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we copy in/out the ptrace request data. Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is: 1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different color than userspace does. 2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus. Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace() request, and that was beyond stupid. Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-04-17[PATCH] sparc: Fix PTRACE_CONT bogosityDavid S. Miller
SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which we copied. If the addr argument is something other than 1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that value is. This is different from every other Linux architecture, which don't do anything with the addr and data args. This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64. There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other platforms do. Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-04-17[PATCH] sparc64: use message queue compat syscallsDavid S. Miller
A couple message queue system call entries for compat tasks were not using the necessary compat_sys_*() functions, causing some glibc test cases to fail. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-17[PATCH] sparc64: Do not flush dcache for ZERO_PAGE.David S. Miller
This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes forever to just walk through the page tables because of all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64. With this change it takes only a second or so. Signed-off-by: David S.

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!
