2008-06-17x86-64: Fix "bytes left to copy" return value for copy_from_user()Linus Torvalds
Most users by far do not care about the exact return value (they only really care about whether the copy succeeded in its entirety or not), but a few special core routines actually care deeply about exactly how many bytes were copied from user space. And the unrolled versions of the x86-64 user copy routines would sometimes report that it had copied more bytes than it actually had. Very few uses actually have partial copies to begin with, but to make this bug even harder to trigger, most x86 CPU's use the "rep string" instructions for normal user copies, and that version didn't have this issue. To make it even harder to hit, the one user of this that really cared about the return value (and used the uncached version of the copy that doesn't use the "rep string" instructions) was the generic write routine, which pre-populated its source, once more hiding the problem by avoiding the exception case that triggers the bug. In other words, very special thanks to Bron Gondwana who not only triggered this, but created a test-program to show it, and bisected the behavior down to commit 08291429cfa6258c4cd95d8833beb40f828b194e ("mm: fix pagecache write deadlocks") which changed the access pattern just enough that you can now trigger it with 'writev()' with multiple iovec's. That commit itself was not the cause of the bug, it just allowed all the stars to align just right that you could trigger the problem. [ Side note: this is just the minimal fix to make the copy routines (with __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache as the particular version that was involved in showing this) have the right return values. We really should improve on the exceptional case further - to make the copy do a byte-accurate copy up to the exact page limit that causes it to fail. As it is, the callers have to do extra work to handle the limit case gracefully. ] Reported-by: Bron Gondwana <brong@fastmail.fm> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> (which didn't have this problem), and since most users that do the carethis was very hard to trigger, but

2008-06-16[MIPS] Lasat: sysctl fixupThomas Horsten
LASAT's sysctl interface was broken, it failed a check during boot because a single entry had a sysctl number and the rest were unnumbered. When I fixed it I noticed that the whole sysctl file needed a spring clean, it was using mutexes where it wasn't needed (it's only needed to protect during writes to the EEPROM), so I moved that stuff out and generally cleaned the whole thing up. So now, LASAT's sysctl/proc interface is working again. Signed-off-by: Thomas Horsten <thomas@horsten.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2008-06-16[MIPS] Bring the SWARM defconfig up to dateMaciej W. Rozycki
The SWARM defconfig file has not been regenerated for over a year now. Here is a patch to bring the file up to date. Additionally some important and sometimes confusing changes happened meanwhile. Here is the list of notable corresponding updates to the configuration: 1. CPU_SB1_PASS_2_2 is now selected rather than CPU_SB1_PASS_1. The latter requires a non-standard -msb1-pass1-workarounds option to be supported by GCC and I am told is quite rare anyway. [Ralf: Afaik -msb1-pass1-workarounds is available only in Monta Vista's special Sibyte gcc 3.0 variant and gcc 3.0 is too old to build a modern kernel anyway.] 2. PHYLIB and BROADCOM_PHY are both built in and NETDEV_1000 enabled as required by SB1250_MAC. 3. USB and USB_OHCI_HCD are enabled as there is an OHCI chip onboard. 4. TMPFS is enabled, because I use it. ;-) Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2008-06-16[POWERPC] Turn on ATA_SFF so we get SATA_SVW back in defconfigsPaul Mackerras
This enables CONFIG_ATA_SFF in the defconfigs that are intended to work on a G5 powermac, i.e. g5_defconfig and ppc64_defconfig. Since the support for the SATA cell in the K2 chipset is provided by the sata_svw.c driver, and that depends on CONFIG_ATA_SFF, we need to turn that and CONFIG_SATA_SVW back on so we can get to the hard disk on G5s.

Previous export was in vmlinux and in one case (mpc85xx_defconfig) a build error: kernel/built-in.o: In function `__crc_console_drivers': (*ABS*+0x1eb0e6f5): multiple definition of `__crc_console_drivers' So remove the export now.

2008-06-16[POWERPC] Fix -Os kernel builds with newer gcc versionsKumar Gala
GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register saves/restores based on: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down for our needs (integer only). Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines. Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the out-of-line save/restore functions.

There is a delay in the transition to the stopped state for class 2 interrupts.

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the past, and now it have regressed. The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel on an older PCs.
