2006-12-01PCI: Use pci_generic_prep_mwi on sparc64Matthew Wilcox
The setting of the CACHE_LINE_SIZE register in sparc64's pci initialisation code isn't quite adequate as the device may have incompatible requirements. The generic code tests for this, so switch sparc64 over to using it. Since sparc64 has different L1 cache line size and PCI cache line size, it would need to override the generic code like i386 and ia64 do. We know what the cache line size is at compile time though, so introduce a new optional constant PCI_CACHE_LINE_BYTES.

2006-11-05[SPARC]: Fix robust futex syscalls and wire up migrate_pages.David S. Miller
When I added the entries for the robust futex syscall entries, I forgot to bump NR_SYSCALLS. The current situation is error-prone because NR_SYSCALLS lives in entry.S where the system call limit checks are enforced. Move the definition to asm/unistd.h in order to make this mistake much more difficult to make. And wire up sys_migrate_pages since the powerpc folks implemented the compat wrapper for us.

2006-10-01[PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locksMartin Schwidefsky
On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the lock (directed yield). With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without common code changes. Powerpc already does this. With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock, _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax, _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macrosDave McCracken
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the other hand, return the kernel virtual address. Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is simple to standardize their usage. Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

2006-09-08[PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFsKirill Korotaev
This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead to system crash. They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls, but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading. This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64). Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on its own when the macro isn't defined.

Kill host_set->next Fix simplex support Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Folded in fixes are... * ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal * broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h * fix-new-legacy-handling: * In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly incremented during initialization of the secondary port and probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1. * Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no. * When printing port information, both legacy ports printed the first irq.

Instead, they are fully specified from the beginning and we should pass them directly to the IRQ translator as-is. Also, fill in the necessary translator slots for the "graphics" and "expansion UPA" interrupts on Sabre, Psycho, and SYSIO SBUS. Increase PROMREG_MAX to 24, as seen on SUNW,ffb devices. Finally, prevent accidentally writing past the end of the of_device struct resource[] and irqs[] arrays. Spit out a log message when we ignore some entries because there are too many of them.

2006-06-29[AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersecCatherine Zhang
This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg. Patch purpose: This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket. The application can then use this security context to determine the security context for processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet. Patch design and implementation: The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET sockets. Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages that are bundled together with a normal message). To retrieve the security context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. Then the application retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism. An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this: toggle = 1; toggle_len = sizeof(toggle); setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len); recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0); if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) { cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr); if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) && cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET && cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) { memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext)); } } sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow a server socket to receive security context of the peer. Testing: We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server applications. We verified that the server can retrieve the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

2006-06-29[SPARC64]: of_device layer IRQ resolutionDavid S. Miller
Do IRQ determination generically by parsing the PROM properties, and using IRQ controller drivers for final resolution. One immediate positive effect is that all of the IRQ frobbing in the EBUS, ISA, and PCI controller layers has been eliminated. We just look up the of_device and use the properly computed value. The PCI controller irq_build() routines are gone and no longer used. Unfortunately sbus_build_irq() has to remain as there is a direct reference to this in the sunzilog driver. That can be killed off once the sparc32 side of this is written and the sunzilog driver is transformed into an "of" bus driver. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups cpu power will be determined for different domains.
