These two bits were accesses non-atomically from assembler
code. So, in order to eliminate any potential races resulting
from that, move these pieces of state into two bytes elsewhere
in struct thread_info.

It is only used by some localized code in irq.c, and also
delete enable_prom_timer() as that is totally unused.

It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on
different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities.
If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the
boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you
need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across
all CPU's.
For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system
do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable
instruction replacement per se.
|
|
It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
function that queries FXSR dynamically.
This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
correct one at boot-time.

These days %gs is normally the TLS segment, so it's no longer zero. As
a result, we shouldn't just assume that %fs/%gs tend to be zero
together, but test them independently instead.
Also, fix setting of debug registers to use the "next" pointer instead
of "current". It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new
current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an
implementation detail.

Patch from Alexander Schulz
Up to now, shark kernels were limited to one megabyte compressed
size. As the kernels get bigger, this becomes more and more
uncomfortable. So I added a loop to copy 3 MB instead of one
and added some comments.

Recent changes to nwfpe broke the build with some gcc versions:
In file included from arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.c:33:
arch/arm/nwfpe/fpa11.h:32: global register variable follows a function definition
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.o] Error 1
Since we now ensure that the kernel stack is empty when returning
to user space, we can now access the userspace registers with
reference to the kernel stack using current_thread_info(), rather
than remembering the stack pointer at the time nwfpe was called.

Patch from Alexander Schulz
This patch brings a new default config file for the shark and
fixes a compilation issue with io addressing and a runtime
problem with the serial ports, where I corrected a wrong
regshift value.
These are all shark specific files so I hope it is ok to
put them in one patch.

A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.
Check the return value and free the vma incase of failure.

This patch makes the command:
make ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386
work on x86_64 hosts (with support for building 32-bit binaries). This is
especially needed since 64-bit UMLs don't support 32-bit emulation for guest
binaries, currently. This has been tested in all possible cases and works.
Only exception is that I've built but not tested a 64-bit binary, because I
hadn't a 64-bit filesystem available.

The pcap support was not working because of some linking problems (expressing
the construct in Kbuild was a bit difficult) and because there was no user
request. Now that this has come back, here's the support.

"cross-"building 32-bit binaries.

1) Cleanup an ugly hyper-nested code in Makefile (now only the arith.
expression is passed through the host bash).
2) Fix a problem with GCC 2.95: according to a report from Raphael Bossek,
.remap_data : { arch/um/sys-SUBARCH/unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) } is expanded
into: .remap_data : { arch/um/sys-i386 /unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) }
(because I didn't use ## to join the two tokens), thus stopping linking. Pass
the whole path from the Makefile as a simple and nice fix.

*) Reorganize the two cases of sys_modify_ldt to share all the reasonably
common code.
*) Avoid memory allocation when unneeded (i.e. when we are writing and the
passed buffer size is known), thus not returning ENOMEM (which isn't
allowed for this syscall, even if there is no strict "specification").
*) Add copy_{from,to}_user to modify_ldt for TT mode.

A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with
CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call().
On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug,
because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of
mmap2().
Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely
manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host
bug, since it should cause no functional change. Still, you might prefer to
drop it, I'll leave this to you.

Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>
This construct is refused by GCC 4, so here's the (corrected) fix. Thanks to
Russell for noticing a stupid mistake I did when first sending this.
As he noted, the code is largely suboptimal however it currently works, and
will be fixed shortly. Just read the access_ok check on fp which is NULL, or
the pointer arithmetic below which should be done with a cast to void*:
frame = (struct rt_sigframe __user *)
round_down(stack_top - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe), 16) - 8;
The code shows clearly that has been taken from
arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c:setup_rt_frame(), maybe in a bit of a hurry.

Add special case for the POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED and POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint
values for s390-64. The user space values in the s390-64 glibc headers for
these two defines have always been 6 and 7 instead of 4 and 5. All 64 bit
applications therefore use the "wrong" values. To get these applications
working without recompiling the kernel needs to accept the "wrong" values.
Since the values for s390-31 are 4 and 5 the compat wrapper for fadvise64
and fadvise64_64 need to rewrite the values for 31 bit system calls.

i386_ksym reduction
This patch:
[PATCH] Remove i386_ksyms.c, almost
made files like smp.c do their own EXPORT_SYMBOLS. This means that all
subarchitectures that override these symbols now have to do the exports
themselves. This patch adds the exports for voyager (which is the most
affected since it has a separate smp harness). However, someone should
audit all the other subarchitectures to see if any others got broken.

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

The Altix subarch does not provide node information via ACPI. Instead hooks
are used to fixup pci structures. This patch determines the nodes for Altix
PCI busses.
Remote Bridges:
---------------
Altix supports remote I/O nodes without memory or processors but with bridges.
The TIOCA type of bridge is an AGP bridge and the PROM provides information
about the closest node. That information will be returned by pcibus_to_node.
The TIOCP remote bridge type is a PCI bridge but the PROM does not provide a
closest node id. pcibus_to_node will return -1 for devices on those bridges
meaning that device control structures may be allocated on any node.
Safeguard:
----------
Should the fixups result in invalid node information for a pci controller then
a warning will be printed and pcibus_to_node will return -1.
This patch also fixes the "FIXME" in sn_dma_alloc_coherent. This means that
dma_alloc_coherent will now use alloc_pages_node to allocate memory local to
the node that the PCI device is connected to.
