From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>, Paolo Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Make sure that when compiling USER_OBJS the correct compilation options are passed; since they are compiled with USER_CFLAGS which is derived from CFLAGS, make sure it is a recursively evaluated variable, so that changes to CFLAGS done afterwards the inclusion of arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile are reflected in USER_CFLAGS. For instance, without this patch userspace objects are never compiled with debug info active.

2006-10-30[PATCH] Fix "Remove the use of _syscallX macros in UML"Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Fix commit 5f4c6bc1f369f20807a8e753c2308d1629478c61: it spits out warnings about missing syscall prototype (it is in <unistd.h>) and it does not recognize that two uses of _syscallX are to be resolved against kernel headers in the source tree, not against _syscallX; they in fact do not compile and would not work anyway. If _syscallX macros will be removed from the kernel tree altogether, the only reasonable solution for that piece of code is switching to open-coded inline assembly (it's remapping the whole executable from memory, except the page containing this code).

2006-10-25[SPARC64]: Fix central/FHC bus handling on Ex000 systems.David S. Miller

We were trying to use dp->child in irq_trans_init but that linkage is not setup at this point. So instead, pass in the parent of "dp" and look for the child "fhc" with parent "central".

2006-10-25[PATCH] AVR32: Use __raw MMIO access for internal peripheralsHaavard Skinnemoen
The read[bwl] and write[bwl] functions are meant for accessing PCI devices. How this is achieved on AVR32 is unknown, as there are no systems with a PCI bridge available yet. On-chip peripheral access, however, should not depend on how we end up implementing PCI access, so using __raw_read[bwl]/__raw_write[bwl] is the right thing to do for on-chip peripherals. This patch converts the drivers for the static memory controller, interrupt controller, PIO controller and system manager to use __raw MMIO access.

* when we have stop/sysrq/go, we get pt_regs of whatever executes mc_work_proc(). Would be better to see what we had at the time of interrupt that got us stop. * stop/stop/stop..... will give stack overflow. Shouldn't allow stop from mconsole_stop(). * stop/stop/go leaves us inside mconsole_stop() with os_set_fd_block(req->originating_fd, 0); reactivate_fd(req->originating_fd, MCONSOLE_IRQ); just done by nested mconsole_stop(). Ditto. * once we'd seen stop, there's a period when INTR commands are executed out of order (as they should; we might have the things stuck badly enough to never reach mconsole_stop(), but still not badly enough to block mconsole_interrupt(); in that situation we _want_ things like "cad" to be executed immediately). Once we enter monsole_stop(), all INTR commands will be executed in order, mixed with PROC ones. We'd better let user see that such change of behaviour has happened. (Suggested by lennert). * stack footprint of monsole_interrupt() is an atrocity; AFAICS we can safely make struct mc_request req; static in function there.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] IPIC: Fix spinlock recursion in set_irq_handlerScott Wood
This causes ipic_set_irq_type to set the handler directly rather than call set_irq_handler, which causes spinlock recursion because the lock is already held when ipic_set_irq_type is called. I'm also not convinced that ipic_set_irq_type should be changing the handler at all. There seem to be several controllers that don't and several that do. Those that do would break what appears to be a common usage of calling set_irq_chip_and_handler followed by set_irq_type, if a non-standard handler were to be used. OTOH, irq_create_of_mapping() doesn't set the handler, but only calls set_irq_type(). This patch gets things working in the spinlock-debugging-enabled case, but I'm curious as to where the handler setting is ideally supposed to be done. I don't see any documentation on set_irq_type() that clarifies what the semantics are supposed to be.

Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a read. If you ask for four bytes, you get eight. This fixes it to transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal to the number you asked for. Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register. Thus, reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL. Asking for more than four returns the largest possible multiple of four.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] Cell timebase bug workaroundBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order 32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso'sBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up. The main issue was that the construct: .long label (or .llong on 64 bits) will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc, which is not something we can deal with in the vdso. The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like: 1: .long label - 1b That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest of the kernel as well. Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not support 32 bits code with a statement of the form: .llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label) That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are using a modified macro that generates: .long 0xffffffff .llong label - 1b Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the other way around).
