2006-05-01[NETFILTER] x_tables: fix compat related crash on non-x86Patrick McHardy
When iptables userspace adds an ipt_standard_target, it calculates the size of the entire entry as: sizeof(struct ipt_entry) + XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target)) ipt_standard_target looks like this: struct xt_standard_target { struct xt_entry_target target; int verdict; }; xt_entry_target contains a pointer, so when compiled for 64 bit the structure gets an extra 4 byte of padding at the end. On 32 bit architectures where iptables aligns to 8 byte it will also have 4 byte padding at the end because it is only 36 bytes large. The compat_ipt_standard_fn in the kernel adjusts the offsets by sizeof(struct ipt_standard_target) - sizeof(struct compat_ipt_standard_target), which will always result in 4, even if the structure from userspace was already padded to a multiple of 8. On x86 this works out by accident because userspace only aligns to 4, on all other architectures this is broken and causes incorrect adjustments to the size and following offsets.

Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id. Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node. Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(), which doesn't do the traversal. Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.

2006-05-01[PATCH] vmsplice: allow user to pass in gift pagesJens Axboe

2006-05-01[PATCH] pipe: enable atomic copying of pipe data to/from user spaceJens Axboe
The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic() instead. lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched. Vanilla-UP: Pipe bandwidth: 1622.28 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1610.59 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1608.30 MB/sec Pipe latency: 7.3275 microseconds Pipe latency: 7.2995 microseconds Pipe latency: 7.3097 microseconds Vanilla-SMP: Pipe bandwidth: 1382.19 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1317.27 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1355.61 MB/sec Pipe latency: 9.6402 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.6696 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.6153 microseconds Patched-SMP: Pipe bandwidth: 1578.70 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1579.95 MB/sec Pipe bandwidth: 1578.63 MB/sec Pipe latency: 9.1654 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.2266 microseconds Pipe latency: 9.1527 microseconds Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-05-01[PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operationJens Axboe
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now, since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste of time doing it. Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepagesDavid Gibson
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in pagetables when making large hugepage mappings. Hugepage PTEs go in PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16 hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte allocation. With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size), the situation is worse. Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level (also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation. The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all hugepage, or all normal pages. Thus, with some care, we can use a different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the 128 bytes necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-04-27[IA64] enable dumps to capture second page of kernel stackCliff Wickman
In SLES10 (2.6.16) crash dumping (in my experience, LKCD) is unable to capture the second page of the 2-page task/stack allocation. This is particularly troublesome for dump analysis, as the stack traceback cannot be done. (A similar convention is probably needed throughout the kernel to make kernel multi-page allocations detectable for dumping) Multi-page kernel allocations are represented by the single page structure associated with the first page of the allocation. The page structures associated with the other pages are unintialized. If the dumper is selecting only kernel pages it has no way to identify any but the first page of the allocation. The fix is to make the task/stack allocation a compound page. Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2006-04-27[PATCH] x86/PAE: Fix pte_clear for the >4GB RAM caseZachary Amsden
Proposed fix for ptep_get_and_clear_full PAE bug. Pte_clear had the same bug, so use the same fix for both. Turns out pmd_clear had it as well, but pgds are not affected. The problem is rather intricate. Page table entries in PAE mode are 64-bits wide, but the only atomic 8-byte write operation available in 32-bit mode is cmpxchg8b, which is expensive (at least on P4), and thus avoided. But it can happen that the processor may prefetch entries into the TLB in the middle of an operation which clears a page table entry. So one must always clear the P-bit in the low word of the page table entry first when clearing it. Since the sequence *ptep = __pte(0) leaves the order of the write dependent on the compiler, it must be coded explicitly as a clear of the low word followed by a clear of the high word. Further, there must be a write memory barrier here to enforce proper ordering by the compiler (and, in the future, by the processor as well). On > 4GB memory machines, the implementation of pte_clear for PAE was clearly deficient, as it could leave virtual mappings of physical memory above 4GB aliased to memory below 4GB in the TLB. The implementation of ptep_get_and_clear_full has a similar bug, although not nearly as likely to occur, since the mappings being cleared are in the process of being destroyed, and should never be dereferenced again. But, as luck would have it, it is possible to trigger bugs even without ever dereferencing these bogus TLB mappings, even if the clear is followed fairly soon after with a TLB flush or invalidation. The problem is that memory above 4GB may now be aliased into the first 4GB of memory, and in fact, may hit a region of memory with non-memory semantics. These regions include AGP and PCI space. As such, these memory regions are not cached by the processor. This introduces the bug. The processor can speculate memory operations, including memory writes, as long as they are committed with the proper ordering. Speculating a memory write to a linear address that has a bogus TLB mapping is possible. Normally, the speculation is harmless. But for cached memory, it does leave the falsely speculated cacheline unmodified, but in a dirty state. This cache line will be eventually written back. If this cacheline happens to intersect a region of memory that is not protected by the cache coherency protocol, it can corrupt data in I/O memory, which is generally a very bad thing to do, and can cause total system failure or just plain undefined behavior. These bugs are extremely unlikely, but the severity is of such magnitude, and the fix so simple that I think fixing them immediately is justified. Also, they are nearly impossible to debug.

2006-04-26Input: ads7846 - improve filtering for thumb press accuracyImre Deak
Providing more accurate coordinates for thumb press requires additional steps in the filtering logic: - Ignore samples found invalid by the debouncing logic, or the ones that have out of bound pressure value. - Add a parameter to repeat debouncing, so that more then two consecutive good readings are required for a valid sample.
