2007-05-07Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial valuesChristoph Lameter
The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init. However, it may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before smp_init. So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init() where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot. Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they could take. If we have accidental users before these values are determined then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays to be allocated. If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste some memory for early boot users.

2007-05-04iomap: make the default iomap functions fail softerLinus Torvalds
We used to BUG_ON() for a badly mapped IO port, which is certainly correct, but actually made it harder to debug the case where the ATA drivers had incorrectly mapped a nonconnected ATA port. So make badly mapped ports trigger a WARN_ON(), and throw the IO away instead (and return all ones for reads). For things like broken driver initialization - which is the most likely cause anyway - that should mean that the machine comes up and is usable (at least that was the case for the ATA breakage that triggered this patch). It tends to be a whole lot easier to do a "dmesg" on a working machine than to try to capture logs off a dead one. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-02-16kobject: kobj->k_name verification fixMartin Stoilov
The function 'kobject_add' tries to verify the name of a new kobject instance is properly set before continuing. if (!kobj->k_name) kobj->k_name = kobj->name; if (!kobj->k_name) { pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n"); WARN_ON(1); return -EINVAL; } The statement: if (!kobj->k_name) { pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n"); WARN_ON(1); return -EINVAL; } is useless the way it is right now, because it can never be true. I think the code was intended to be: if (!kobj->k_name) kobj->k_name = kobj->name; if (!*kobj->k_name) { pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n"); WARN_ON(1); return -EINVAL; } because this would make sure the kobj->name buffer has something in it. So the missing '*' is just a typo. Although, I would much prefer expression like: if (*kobj->k_name == '\0') { pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n"); WARN_ON(1); return -EINVAL; } because this would've made the intention clear, in this patch I just restore the missing '*' without changing the coding style of the function.

Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration. Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured. This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.

2007-02-16[PATCH] pci_iomap_regions() error handling fixFrederik Deweerdt
It appears that the pcim_iomap_regions() function doesn't get the error handling right. It BUGs early at boot with a backtrace along the lines of: ahci_init pci_register_driver driver_register [...] ahci_init_one pcim_iomap_region pcim_iounmap The following patch allows me to boot. Only the if(mask..) continue; part fixes the problem actually, the gotos where changed so that we don't try to unmap something we couldn't map anyway.

2007-02-12[PATCH] Debug shared irqsDavid Woodhouse
Drivers registering IRQ handlers with SA_SHIRQ really ought to be able to handle an interrupt happening before request_irq() returns. They also ought to be able to handle an interrupt happening during the start of their call to free_irq(). Let's test that hypothesis....

2007-02-11[PATCH] sort the devres mess outAl Viro
* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files. * Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull kernel/irq/devres.o * Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive; allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for dependencies of quite a few drivers). * protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.
