2007-12-14ACPI: tables: complete searching upon RSDP w/ bad checksum.Len Brown
ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory. The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer). To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR " in well known physical memory locations. Then the OS computes a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part of a valid table header. Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum; followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9444 The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled. Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-11-14Add IORESOUCE_BUSY flag for System RAMYasunori Goto
i386 and x86-64 registers System RAM as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY. But ia64 registers it as IORESOURCE_MEM only. In addition, memory hotplug code registers new memory as IORESOURCE_MEM too. This difference causes a failure of memory unplug of x86-64. This patch fixes it. This patch adds IORESOURCE_BUSY to avoid potential overlap mapping by PCI device.

2007-11-09[IA64] XPC heartbeat timer function must run on CPU 0Dean Nelson
Currently, XPC's heartbeat timer function runs on whatever CPU modprobe/insmod ran on when XPC was started. To avoid the heartbeat from being delayed for long periods the timer function must run on CPU 0. N.B. Altix doesn't currently allow cpu0 to be taken offline, so this is safe for now.

2007-11-06[IA64] Disable/re-enable CPE interrupts on AltixRuss Anderson
When the CPE handler encounters too many CPEs (such as a solid single bit memory error), it sets up a polling timer and disables the CPE interrupt (to avoid excessive overhead logging the stream of single bit errors). disable_irq_nosync() calls chip->disable() to provide a chipset specifiec interface for disabling the interrupt.

2007-11-06[IA64] Fix section mismatch in contig.c version of per_cpu_init()Tony Luck
There is a section mismatch when building CONFIG_FLATMEM=y kernels that also have CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x5a902): Section mismatch: reference to \ .init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'per_cpu_init' and 'count_pages') The issue occurs because per_cpu_init() in mm/contig.c is marked __cpuinit (which is #define'd to nothing on a hot plug cpu configuration) call __alloc_bootmem() (which is an __init function). The usage is actually safe because the __alloc_bootmem() is inside an "if (first_time)" test so that the call is only made while it is still legal to do so. But the warning is irritating.

Clean up the process for presenting the "physical id" field in /proc/cpuinfo. - remove global smp_num_cpucores, as it is mostly useless - remove check_for_logical_procs(), since we do the same functionality in identify_siblings() - reflow logic in identify_siblings(). If an older CPU does not implement PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL, we may still be able to get useful information from SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO - in identify_siblings(), threads/cores are a property of the CPU, not the platform - remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread capability in identify_siblings(), as that information is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for the BSP only adds little value - smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the system supports threads, not just the BSP - expose "physical id" field, even on CPUs that are not multi-core / multi-threaded (as long as we have a valid value).

2007-10-22kexec: add BSS to resource treeBernhard Walle
Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in the resource tree. The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel reservation in that area. While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before), the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem just as Kernel data and Kernel code. Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

2007-10-19Use extended crashkernel command line on ia64Bernhard Walle
This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function instead of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line. Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this function, efi_memmap_init() is modified to return its accumulated total_memory variable. Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: changes to show virtual ids to userPavel Emelyanov
This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-10-17Add vmcoreinfoKen'ichi Ohmichi
This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system. makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is hard to install it into each system. To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html) Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.1/1053.html) And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.

list_del() hardly can fail, so checking for return value is pointless (and current code always return 0). Nobody really cared that return value anyway.

2007-10-17x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #defineMark Nelson
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be added with an appropriate #define. This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all current users so there's are no change in behaviour. This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE (signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from Freescale have.

2007-10-16ia64 vDSO: linker script indentationRoland McGrath
This cleans up the formatting in the vDSO linker script, mostly just the use of whitespace. It's intended to approximate the kernel standard conventions for indenting C, treating elements of the linker script about like initialized variable definitions.

2007-10-16kprobes: support kretprobe blacklistMasami Hiramatsu
Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be inserted but kretprobes can not. This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.
