2007-02-11[PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt
The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too. Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case there are plans to use them yet.

2007-02-09[PATCH] kill eth_io_copy_and_sum()Al Viro
On all targets that sucker boils down to memcpy_fromio(sbk->data, from, len). The function name is highly misguiding (it _never_ does any checksums), the last argument is just a noise and simply expanding the call to memcpy_fromio() gives shorter and more readable source. For a lot of reasons it has almost no remaining users, so it's better to just outright kill it.

2006-12-13[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezerRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed. To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it. To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This turns on the split input/output speed features and arbitary baud rate handling for the x86-64 platform. Nothing should break if you use existing standard speeds. If you use the new speed stuff then you may see some drivers failing to report the speed changes properly in error cases. This will be worked on further. For the working cases this all seems happy. I'll post a test suite used to test the basic stuff as well. Patches for i386 will follow when I get a moment but are basically the same.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: preparatory structures for termios revampAlan Cox
In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need to separate the kernel and user termios structures. Glibc is fine but the other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to extend this without breaking the ABI/API To do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for now. (That limitation will go away in later patches). Some platforms (eg alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not. This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect them) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This makes x86-64 use the generic BUG machinery.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86: add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routinesSiddha, Suresh B
Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision ID 0x9 and below. errata #23 in http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf). This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by BIOS on these platforms).

It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude, are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it. The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded). Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: Make x86_64 udelay() round up instead of down.Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Port two patches from i386 to x86_64 delay.c to make sure all rounding is done upward instead of downward. There is no sign in commit messages that the mismatch was done on purpose, and "delay() guarantees sleeping at least for the specified time" is still a valid rule IMHO. The original x86 patches are both from pre-GIT era, i.e.: "[PATCH] round up in __udelay()" in commit 54c7e1f5cc6771ff644d7bc21a2b829308bd126f "[PATCH] add 1 in __const_udelay()" in commit 42c77a9801b8877d8b90f65f75db758822a0bccc (both commits are from converted BK repository to x86_64). AK: fixed gcc warning linux/arch/x86_64/lib/delay.c:43: warning: suggest parentheses around + or - inside shift (did this actually work?)

2006-12-07[PATCH] Calgary: allow compiling Calgary in but not using it by defaultMuli Ben-Yehuda
This patch makes it possible to compile Calgary in but not use it by default. In this mode, use 'iommu=calgary' to activate it. Signed-off-by: Muli Ben-Yehuda <muli@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jdmason@kudzu.us> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-12-07[PATCH] Calgary: check BBAR ioremap success when ioremappingMuli Ben-Yehuda
This patch cleans up the previous "Use BIOS supplied BBAR information" patch. Mostly stylistic clenaups, but also check for ioremap failure when we ioremap the BBAR rather than when trying to use it.

2006-12-07[PATCH] Calgary: use BIOS supplied BBARs and topology informationLaurent Vivier
Find the BBAR register address of each Calgary using the "Extended BIOS Data Area" rather than calculating it ourselves. Also get the bus topology (what PHB each bus is on) from Calgary rather than calculating it ourselves. This patch fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7407.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: Extract segment descriptor definitions for use outsideAvi Kivity
Code that wants to use struct desc_struct cannot do so on i386 because desc.h contains other code that will only compile on x86_64. So extract the structure definitions into a asm-x86_64/desc_defs.h.
