2006-03-01[MIPS] Use USECS_PER_SEC / HZ instead of tick_usec in do_gettimeofday.Atsushi Nemoto
The 'tick_usec' is USER_HZ period in usec. do_gettimeofday() should use kernel HZ value. Here is a patch for MIPS. It seems m32r, m68k and sparc have same problem though their HZ and USER_HZ are same for now. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2006-02-28[PATCH] Add mm->task_size and fix powerpc vdsoBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which broke when ptracing). (akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's. It may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

2006-02-28[MIPS] Initialize S-cache function pointers even on S-cache-less CPUs.Ralf Baechle
When a CPU has no scache, the scache flushing functions currently aren't getting initialized and the NULL pointer is eventually called as a function.

2006-02-28[PATCH] powerpc/iseries: Fix double phys_to_abs bug in htab_bolt_mappingMichael Ellerman
Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b2aa93370f1bf52d2304394e91cf8ee39) Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping) (3c726f8dee6f55e96475574e9f645327e461884c). Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is seriously bogus. This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others. The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For 2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an address. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-02-27[MIPS] SMP: Fix initialization order bug.Ralf Baechle
A recent change requires cpu_possible_map to be initialized before smp_sched_init() but most MIPS platforms were initializing their processors in the prom_prepare_cpus callback of smp_prepare_cpus. The simple fix of calling prom_prepare_cpus from one of the earlier SMP initialization hooks doesn't work well either since IPIs may require init_IRQ() to have completed, so bit the bullet and split prom_prepare_cpus into two initialization functions, plat_smp_setup which is called early from setup_arch and plat_prepare_cpus called where prom_prepare_cpus used to be called.

Commit 9c869edac591977314323a4eaad5f7633fca684f broke voyager again rather subtly because it already had its own topology exporting functions, so now each CPU gets registered twice. I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose reverting it. The attached should eliminate the voyager topology functions in favour of the generic ones.

2006-02-26[PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fixAndi Kleen
The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all. I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other things but they didn't really work well neither. I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC. I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on. According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64). But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change: - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254 and IO-APIC setup everywhere - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254 - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia) In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

2006-02-26[PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlierAndi Kleen
SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe timer or not. This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early. This fixes a couple of problems: - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was set up time_init_gtod too late. - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading because time_init_gtod could actually change it later. Now always print the final timer choice Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-02-26[PATCH] x86_64: no_iommu removal in pci-gart.cJon Mason
In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions. This changed in 2.6.16 and now gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled. Therefore, uses of no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed. Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h. Lastly, end_pfn off by one error. Tested (along with patch 1/2) on dual opteron with gart enabled, iommu=soft, and iommu=off.

2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc: Fix mem= cmdline handling on arch/powerpc for !MULTIPLATFORMKumar Gala
mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it. Also, fixed a compile warning in the file.

2006-02-24[PATCH] Fix topology.c locationZachary Amsden
When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition, on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes both of these problems. Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

2006-02-24[PATCH] flags parameter for linkatUlrich Drepper
I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name. Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does. Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application might want this behavior. We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior. For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new behavior could be invoked. I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the syscall API?

2006-02-24[PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequenceJames Bottomley
Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for booting CPUs again.

2006-02-24[PATCH] voyager: fix the cpu_possible_map to make voyager boot againJames Bottomley
Right at the moment (thanks to a patch from Andrew), cpu_possible_map on voyager is CPU_MASK_NONE, which means the machine always thinks it has no CPUs. Fix that by doing an early initialisation of the cpu_possible_map from the cpu_phys_present_map.

Fix and update for gcc-4.0. - arch/m32r/kernel/signal.c: Change type of the 8th parameter of sys_rt_sigsuspend() from 'struct pt_regs' to 'struct pt_regs *'. This functions make use of the 'regs' parameter to return status value, but gcc-4.0 optimizes and removes it as a dead code. Functions, sys_sigaltstack() and sys_rt_sigreturn(), have also modified. - arch/m32r/lib/usercopy.c, include/asm-m32r/uaccess.h: Add early-clobber constraints('&') to output values of asm statements; these constraints seems to be required for gcc-4.0 register assignment.
