2008-03-11[POWERPC] spufs: don't (ab)use SCHED_IDLEJeremy Kerr
commit 4ef11014 introduced a usage of SCHED_IDLE to detect when a context is within spu_run. Instead of SCHED_IDLE (which has other meaning), add a flag to sched_flags to tell if a context should be running. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Convert the cell IOMMU fixed mapping to 16M IOMMU pagesMichael Ellerman
The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then a gap to the next 4K page boundary. It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately, saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2008-03-03[POWERPC] Allow for different IOMMU page sizes in cell IOMMU codeMichael Ellerman

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Cell IOMMU: n_pte_pages is in 4K page units, not IOMMU_PAGE_SIZEMichael Ellerman
We use n_pte_pages to calculate the stride through the page tables, but we also use it to set the NPPT value in the segment table entry. That is defined as the number of 4K pages per segment, so we should calculate it as such regardless of the IOMMU page size.

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Split setup of IOMMU stab and ptab, allocate dynamic/fixed ptabs ↵Michael Ellerman
separately Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being too large. So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately.

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Move allocation of cell IOMMU pad pageMichael Ellerman

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Remove unused pte_offset variableMichael Ellerman

2008-03-03[POWERPC] Use it_offset not pte_offset in cell IOMMU codeMichael Ellerman
The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset. This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit of every DMA address. However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset at all. As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use it instead!

2008-03-01[PATCH] drop EOE records from printkSteve Grubb
Hi, While we are looking at the printk issue, I see that its printk'ing the EOE (end of event) records which is really not something that we need in syslog. Its really intended for the realtime audit event stream handled by the audit daemon. So, lets avoid printk'ing that record type.

2008-03-01[RFC] AUDIT: do not panic when printk loses messagesEric Paris
On the latest kernels if one was to load about 15 rules, set the failure state to panic, and then run service auditd stop the kernel will panic. This is because auditd stops, then the script deletes all of the rules. These deletions are sent as audit messages out of the printk kernel interface which is already known to be lossy. These will overun the default kernel rate limiting (10 really fast messages) and will call audit_panic(). The same effect can happen if a slew of avc's come through while auditd is stopped. This can be fixed a number of ways but this patch fixes the problem by just not panicing if auditd is not running. We know printk is lossy and if the user chooses to set the failure mode to panic and tries to use printk we can't make any promises no matter how hard we try, so why try? At least in this way we continue to get lost message accounting and will eventually know that things went bad. The other change is to add a new call to audit_log_lost() if auditd disappears. We already pulled the skb off the queue and couldn't send it so that message is lost. At least this way we will account for the last message and panic if the machine is configured to panic. This code path should only be run if auditd dies for unforeseen reasons. If auditd closes correctly audit_pid will get set to 0 and we won't walk this code path.

2008-02-29[ARM] 4837/1: make __get_unaligned_*() return unsigned typesLennert Buytenhek
Eric Sandeen tracked an XFS on ARM corruption bug down to a function under fs/xfs/ involving some get_unaligned() calls on u64 pointers. As it turns out, calling ARM's get_unaligned() on a u64 pointer pointing to the following byte sequence: 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 would return ffffffff83828180 (LE mode.) This turns out to be because of implicit u8 -> int promotion in ARM's implementation of various helpers for get_unaligned(), causing them to accidentally return signed instead of unsigned values, which in turn caused the subsequent casts to unsigned long long in __get_unaligned_8_[bl]e() to sign-extend the lower words. Fix by casting the return values of __get_unaligned_[24]_[bl]e() to unsigned int.

2008-02-29x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pagesHans Rosenfeld
I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits. I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited. After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be allocated. The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c: if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd))) goto no_page_table; if (pmd_huge(*pmd)) { BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET); page = follow_huge_pmd(mm, address, pmd, flags & FOLL_WRITE); goto out; } Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is huge. Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons, allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same problem. Signed-Off-By: Hans Rosenfeld <hans.rosenfeld@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-02-29x86: tls prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath
Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny, which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs. The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52d04d2f6df337a3332cee56cd60e6d4c4 made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.

2008-02-29rcu: add support for dynamic ticks and preempt rcuSteven Rostedt
The PREEMPT-RCU can get stuck if a CPU goes idle and NO_HZ is set. The idle CPU will not progress the RCU through its grace period and a synchronize_rcu my get stuck. Without this patch I have a box that will not boot when PREEMPT_RCU and NO_HZ are set. That same box boots fine with this patch. This patch comes from the -rt kernel where it has been tested for several months. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
