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.

2008-02-06remove support for un-needed _extratext sectionRobin Getz
When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

2008-02-06taskstats scaled time cleanupMichael Neuling
This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime. This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are both NOPs. Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

2008-02-05uml: clean up sig_handler_common_skasJeff Dike
sig_handler_common_skas needs significant modernization, starting with its name and storage class. There is no need to hide the true type of the sigcontext pointer, so the void * dummy parameter can be replaced with a sigcontext *sc. The array of uml_pt_regs structs used in the page fault case are gone, replaced by a local variable. This is also used in the non-segfault case instead of the copy in the task_struct. Since it's local, the special handling of the is_user flag can go away. There hasn't been any special treatment of SIGUSR1 in ages, so the line that enables it can be deleted. The special treatment of SIGSEGV similarly goes away, but to compensate, SA_NODEFER is added to sa_mask when registering a signal handler.

A bit of defensive programming - during development, it ocassionally happens that a call to init_new_context is missed, resulting in context holding a host pid of zero.

2008-02-05uml: install panic notifier earlierJeff Dike
It turns out that if there's a panic early enough, UML will just sit there in the LED-blinking loop because the panic notifier hadn't been installed yet. This patch installs it earlier. It also fixes the problem which exposed the hang, namely that if you give UML a zero-sized initrd, it will ask alloc_bootmem for zero bytes, and that will cause the panic. While I was in initrd.c, I gave it a style makeover. Prompted by checkpatch, I moved a couple extern declarations of uml_exitcode to kern_util.h.

2008-02-05uml: eliminate setjmp_wrapperJeff Dike
setjmp_wrapper existed to provide setjmp to kernel code when UML used libc's setjmp and longjmp. Now that UML has its own implementation, this isn't needed and kernel code can invoke setjmp directly. do_buffer_op is massively cleaned up since it is no longer a callback from setjmp_wrapper and given a va_list from which it must extract its arguments. The actual setjmp is moved from buffer_op to do_op_one_page because the copy operation is inside an atomic section (kmap_atomic to kunmap_atomic) and it shouldn't be longjmp-ed out of.

2008-02-05uml: customize tlb.hJeff Dike
Customize the hooks in tlb.h to optimize TLB flushing some more. Add start and end fields to tlb_gather_mmu, which are used to limit the address space range scanned when a region is unmapped. The interfaces which just free page tables, without actually changing mappings, don't need to cause a TLB flush.

2008-02-05uml: 64-bit tlb fixesJeff Dike
Some 64-bit tlb fixes - moved pmd_page_vaddr to pgtable.h since it's the same for both 2-level and 3-level page tables fixed a bogus cast on pud_page_vaddr made the address checking in update_*_range more careful Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
