When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate
apic back into virtual wire mode. This improves on previous versions
of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic
into veritual wire mode.
This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has
an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement
is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode
at boot time and to remember it. That is potentially a more accurate
method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'. The
3 models can be selected from a new menu:
(X) No Forced Preemption (Server)
( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)
( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)
we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model.
Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched()
(reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check. It is lighter
than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies. It
represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff.
It has no runtime impact at all if disabled. Here are size stats that show
how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size:
text data bss dec hex filename
3618774 547184 179896 4345854 424ffe vmlinux.stock
3626406 547184 179896 4353486 426dce vmlinux.voluntary +0.2%
3748414 548640 179896 4476950 445016 vmlinux.preempt +3.5%
voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%.
This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's
also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora
as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to
use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

The following patches add dynamic sched domains functionality that was
extensively discussed on lkml and lse-tech. I would like to see this added to
-mm
o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler
load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched
domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the
system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to
pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by
the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal
workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC
applications that are throughput sensitive
o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c
that makes dynamic sched domains possible.
o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain.
Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains
through the cpuset file system interface
o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well
o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests
indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken)
o I have tested it extensively on x86.
o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of
the fast paths are affected

Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.
Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.

Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this
to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the
NUMA domain.
The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual
core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to
a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our
sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a

This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.
In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.
In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.
Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.
This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.
The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
<shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)
The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.
1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).
Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October. The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined. This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c
I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
- Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
a normal interrupt
- if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
- generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
- added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control

/sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields
of the module's modinfo section (if present).
/sys/module/e1000
|-- srcversion
`-- version
This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it
now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm.
Why put this in sysfs?
a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel
modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they
can tell the version of a given module. The autoinstaller feature, for
example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a
driver (i.e. if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that
provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile
and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet
have that version.
b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out
modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which
looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/... actually matching what is loaded
into the kernel already. Hence asking sysfs for this.
c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be
possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the
version) to a newly loaded module. sysfs will have the
currently-built-in version info, for comparison.
d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's
running presently - a question I get often.
There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver
authors.
As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,
though the implementation is nearly completely new. Compiled and run on
x86 and x86_64.

NFSv4 clients are required to know what state they have on the server so that
they can reclaim it on server reboot. However, it is possible for
pathalogical combinations of server reboots and network partitions to leave a
client in a state where it cannot know whether it has lost its state on the
server.
For this reason, rfc3530 requires that we store some information about clients
to stable storage.
So we maintain a directory /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery with a subdirectory for
each client with active state. We leave open the possibility of including
files underneath each such subdirectory with information about the client, but
for now the subdirectories are empty.
We create a client subdirectory whenever a client makes its first non-reclaim
open_confirm.
We remove a client subdirectory whenever either
a) its lease expires, or
b) the grace period ends without it reclaiming anything.
When handling reclaims, we allow the reclaim if and only if the client doing
the reclaim has a subdirectory.
This patch adds just the code to scan the recovery directory on nfsd startup.

We're returning NFS4_FH_NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN | NFS4_FH_VOL_RENAME for the
fh_expire_type attribute. This is incorrect:
1. The spec actually only allows NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN when
VOLATILE_ANY is also set.
2. Filehandles for open files can expire, if the file is removed
and there is a reboot.
3. Filehandles are only volatile on rename in the nosubtree check
case.
Unfortunately, there's no way to indicate that we only expire on remove. So
our only choice is FH4_VOLATILE_ANY. Although it's redundant, we also set
FH4_VOL_RENAME in the subtree check case, since subtreecheck does actually
cause problems in practice and it seems possibly useful to give clients some
way to distinguish that case.

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.
The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.
The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

The attached patch makes the following changes:
(1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
Authorisation keys hold two references:
(a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
rendering it of no further use.
(b) The "authorising process". This is either:
(i) the process that called request_key(), or:
(ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
referred to by the new authorisation key.
This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
(2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
/sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
(3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
(fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
credentials.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
credentials of the authorising process.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
than the process doing the instantiation.
(6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
(7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:
(1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.
(2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.
The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
rendering the spinlock superfluous.
The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.
(3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
keyring be pinned.
(4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.
(5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the
payload. This would then see the supposed RCU payload and the on-key data
length getting out of sync.
I'm tempted to drop the key's datalen entirely, except that it's used in
conjunction with quota management and so is a little tricky to get rid
of.
(6) Update the keys documentation.

A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token)
representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read
sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number
of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a
specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available
type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n].
The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing
whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode
is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting

- also redo interrogation before probing the ISA interrupts. it's safer
to do the probing with the socket in a clean state.

In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file. This
is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile
aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution.
For such processes, the problem is two-fold:
1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G
the operation should fail, but it's not
2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but
it's not
The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are
identified in ia64 systems. Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their
personality. With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the
O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set. The behavior
for all other architectures remains unchanged.

0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed

1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is
owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended
for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.
2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but
not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will
not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when
adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.

In situations where a kprobes handler calls a routine which has a probe on it,
then kprobes_handler() disarms the new probe forever. This patch removes the
above limitation by temporarily disarming the new probe. When the another
probe hits while handling the old probe, the kprobes_handler() saves previous
kprobes state and handles the new probe without calling the new kprobes
registered handlers. kprobe_post_handler() restores back the previous kprobes
state and the normal execution continues.
However on x86_64 architecture, re-rentrancy is provided only through
pre_handler(). If a routine having probe is referenced through
post_handler(), then the probes on that routine are disarmed forever, since
the exception stack is gets changed after the processor single steps the
instruction of the new probe.
This patch includes generic changes to support temporary disarming on
reentrancy of probes.

following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64.
I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine.
I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various
templates including various types of branch instructions.
I have also tested this patch using the tool
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the

1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction
2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address
3) Support Return probes
3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes
This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes.
For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value
zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes

The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is
arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the
code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write
of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our
instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points
by just doing something like:
*p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION;
The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent
functions:
* void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
* void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already
implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64).
I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really
happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe()
function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as
needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the
liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call
arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing
with the recursive kprobe case.
So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still
needs to be tested in sparc64.

The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation
for function return probes.
Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows
a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits.
For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir:
static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
printk("sys_mkdir exited\n");
return 0;
}
static struct kretprobe return_probe = {
.handler = sys_mkdir_exit,
};
<inside setup function>
return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir");
if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) {
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n");
/* do error path */
}
<inside cleanup function>
unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe);
The way this works is that:
* At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe
on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in
the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c (More on this later)
* When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(),
kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the
targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe()
which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c.
* arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores:
- nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list
- a pointer to the return probe
- the original return address
- a pointer to the stack address
With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return
address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called
kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c
* The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target
function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline
function.
* Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system
initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture
specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the
instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call
the handler function.
* When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure
single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and
then calls trampoline_post_handler(). trampoline_post_handler() then
looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list,
and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction.
So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation
will cause four interruptions:
- A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to
switch out the return address
- A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)
- A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function
returned to
- A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)

This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386
architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a
function returns.
1. API
Two new functions are added to kprobes:
int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);
void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);
2. Registration and unregistration
2.1 Register
To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following
fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the
kretprobe address as an argument:
kp.addr - the function's address
handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but
before control returns to the return address in the caller.
maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that
can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non-
recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1
should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never
relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should
be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance
objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <=
0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 *
NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS)
For example:
struct kretprobe rp;
rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */
rp.handler = /*return probe handler */
rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */
register_kretprobe(&rp);
The following field may also be of interest:
nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is
registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but
there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the
function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low).
2.2 Unregister
To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls
unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered
previously. If a probed function is running when the return probe is
unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't
be run.
3. Limitations
3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for
x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon.
3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack
(or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may
cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed
function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline.
3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in
2.6.12-rc3-mm3.
3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish
a return probe and a jprobe on the same function. A patch to remove
this limitation is being tested.
This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap),
and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including
Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined
as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch. This patch makes the type
of preempt_count an int on all archs.
Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of
preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is
not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over.
A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the

slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is

This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.
Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.

Based on analysis and a patch from Russ Weight <rweight@us.ibm.com>
There is a race condition that can occur if an inode is allocated and then
released (using iput) during the ->fill_super functions. The race
condition is between kswapd and mount.
For most filesystems this can only happen in an error path when kswapd is
running concurrently. For isofs, however, the error can occur in a more
common code path (which is how the bug was found).
The logic here is "we want final iput() to free inode *now* instead of
letting it sit in cache if fs is going down or had not quite come up". The
problem is with kswapd seeing such inodes in the middle of being killed and
happily taking over.
The clean solution would be to tell kswapd to leave those inodes alone and
let our final iput deal with them. I.e. add a new flag
(I_FORCED_FREEING), set it before write_inode_now() there and make
prune_icache() leave those alone.

This patch splits del_timer_sync() into 2 functions. The new one,
try_to_del_timer_sync(), returns -1 when it hits executing timer.
It can be used in interrupt context, or when the caller hold locks which
can prevent completion of the timer's handler.
NOTE. Currently it can't be used in interrupt context in UP case, because
->running_timer is used only with CONFIG_SMP.
Should the need arise, it is possible to kill #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in
set_running_timer(), it is cheap.

This patch tries to solve following problems:
1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after
del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck
timer_pending().
2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine
if the timer is running on that cpu.
With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain
del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for
completion of the currently running timer.
The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use
add_timer_on().
3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself.
If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently
running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on
CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1.
4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks
at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers.
The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not
need memory barriers.
Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case
->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock
because ->base can be == NULL.
This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is
pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del()
when the timer is deleted.
The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized
in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the
tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied
to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked
too.
So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could
be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers).
When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list
(which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is
possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains
locked.
This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL,
locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same.
__mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base.
However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the
timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and
unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base,
and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not
possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed
while the timer's handler is running on the old base.
__run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear
pending flag.
So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect
whether it is running or not.
We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it.
We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb()
before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer()
did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add()
could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are
serialized through base->lock.
One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch
adds global
struct timer_base_s {
spinlock_t lock;
struct timer_list *running_timer;
} __init_timer_base;
which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s
struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base.
It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global
__init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first
time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates
to the local CPU.

Issue:
Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
(System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
like legacy keyboard emulation).
Description:
The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
(0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
(1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
(2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
(3) Note down current tsc (tsc1)
(4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
(5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
loops_per_jiffy estimate
Consider the following cases
Case 1:
If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
interval).
Case 2:
If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().
Solution:
The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
user.
Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime. This allows sparse
mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation.
This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how
much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory.
The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer. It stores something that
is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer. It isn't valid to
just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer.
There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section. First of all,
the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present. There could be
such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you
properly to a real mem_map. So, I don't think that check is safe.
Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the
bottom of the pointer to play with. Use one bit to encode whether there's
really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid
section there. We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes
there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we
can get the mem_map for it.

The part of the sparsemem patch which modifies memmap_init_zone() has recently
become a problem. It changes behavior so that there is a call to
pfn_to_page() for each individual page inside of a node's range:
node_start_pfn through node_end_pfn. It used to simply do this once, at the
beginning of the node, but having sparsemem's non-contiguous mem_map[]s inside
of a node made it necessary to change.
Mike Kravetz recently wrote a patch which made the NUMA code accept some new
kinds of layouts. The system's memory was laid out like this, with node 0's
memory in two pieces: one before and one after node 1's memory:
Node 0: +++++ +++++
Node 1: +++++
Previous behavior before Mike's patch was to assign nodes like this:
Node 0: 00000 XXXXX
Node 1: 11111
Where the 'X' areas were simply thrown away. The new behavior was to make the
pg_data_t span node 0 across all of its areas, including areas that are really
node 1's: Node 0: 000000000000000 Node 1: 11111
This wastes a little bit of mem_map space, but ends up being OK, and more
fully utilizes the system's memory. memmap_init_zone() initializes all of the
"struct page"s for node 0, even for the "hole", but those never get used,
because there is no pfn_to_page() that resolves to those pages. However, only
calling pfn_to_page() once, memmap_init_zone() always uses the pages that were
allocated for node0->node_mem_map because:
struct page *start = pfn_to_page(start_pfn);
// effectively start = &node->node_mem_map[0]
for (page = start; page < (start + size); page++) {
init_page_here();...
page++;
}
Slow, and wasteful, but generally harmless.
But, modify that to call pfn_to_page() for each loop iteration (like sparsemem
does):
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < < (start_pfn + size); pfn++++) {
page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
}
And you end up trying to initialize node 1's pages too early, along with bogus
data from node 0. This patch checks for those weird layouts and declines to
touch the pages, making the more frequent pfn_to_page() calls OK to do.

Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.
A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.
Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.
Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.
In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.
One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.
This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch between
what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA.
Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA, independently.
All of the current NUMA implementations require an implementation of
DISCONTIG. Because of this, quite a lot of code which is really needed for
NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs. For SPARSEMEM, we changed some
of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n
case.
Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code that is
needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from code that is
specific to DISCONTIG.
One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require every
architecture to be converted over. All of the current implementations
should "just work", only the ones implementing SPARSEMEM will have to be
fixed up.
The change to free_area_init() makes it work inside, or out of the new
config option.

This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
of the DISCONTIG code. On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.
There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures. Its use
along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent. It has
been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:
pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)
I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
"NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways. I
believe the newer names are much clearer.
These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead. We could
make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
much at once. One thing at a time.
This patch removes more code than it adds.

For I/O DLPAR to work properly, the kernel needs to allow for dynamic
assignment of the irq field of the pci_dev structure upon dynamic bus
addition. This patch moves the assignment of that field from
pSeries_final_fixup() to pcibios_fixup_bus(), which enables dynamic
assignment for the children of a newly added bus.
Currently, pci_devs receive their irq numbers in one of two ways. The
irq line is either read at boot for all pci_devs, or read by the rpaphp
module at slot enable time. The latter is no longer sufficient for
DLPAR addition of slots that don't qualify as PCI-hotplug capable.
This solution handles the cases of boot and dynamic add.

This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
matching with call user data". It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
optional user facility for X.25.
This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
(NRR). What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
call-user-data. This patch allows such a response.
The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
call-user-data. However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
patch.
How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
To enable a response to fast select acceptance,
After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
Now the listen system call can be made
listen(call_soc, 4);
After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted
packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
that accepts the call
ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the
application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet,
provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au>
This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router). Details
are as follows.
Current state of module:
A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
in the packet header.
If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
own. This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
and device interface. The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
present.
Current Changes:
This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match. By
default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present.
To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched.
Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.
This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
the caller
Future Changes on next patch:
There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
accepted packet. According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
provided the fast select facility is used. My next patch will include this
fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used. I
am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.

This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
same network device. Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
however. In practice, this restriction has not been problematic. It is
worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.
The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in. Aside
from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
net_device to an individual struct netpoll.
A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
pointer. The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
removal, and the lock should be uncontested.

This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll. The reason for
this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll; and 2) this is a first
step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
same net_device.
The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure. As
such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

The pSeries_progress function is called from some places in the rtas code,
which may also be used by non-pSeries platforms.
Though pSeries is currently the only platform type that implements
display-character, the code is actually generic enough to be part of
the rtas subsystem.
I hit a bug here because the generic rtas code tried calling ppc_md.progress,
which points to an __init function on most platforms.
We could also clear the ppc_md.progress pointer when freeing the init memory
to make it more explicit that ppc_md.progress must not be called after
bootup.

pSeries and maple have almost the same code for calibrate_decr,
and BPA would need yet another copy. Instead, I'm moving the
code to arch/ppc64/kernel/time.c.
Some of the related declarations were missing from header
files, so I'm moving those as well.
It makes sense to merge this with the pmac function of the
same name, so we end up having just one implemetation for
iSeries and one for Open Firmware based machines.

Instead of looking at whether or not the file is open for writes before
we accept to update the length using the server value, we should rather
be looking at whether or not we are currently caching any writes.
Failure to do so means in particular that we're not updating the file
length correctly after obtaining a POSIX or BSD lock.

NFSv3 currently returns the unsigned 64-bit cookie directly to
userspace. The following patch causes the kernel to generate
loff_t offsets for the benefit of userland.
The current server-generated READDIR cookie is cached in the
nfs_open_context instead of in filp->f_pos, so we still end up work
correctly under directory insertions/deletion.

Attach acls to inodes in the icache to avoid unnecessary GETACL RPC
round-trips. As long as the client doesn't retrieve any acls itself, only the
default acls of exiting directories and the default and access acls of new
directories will end up in the cache, which preserves some memory compared to
always caching the access and default acl of all files.

NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies
the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server.
This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a
default ACL. In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and
only the default ACL determines the file's effective permissions.
Usually its the server's task to conditionally apply the umask. But
since the server knows nothing about the umask, we have to do it on the
client side. This patch tries to fetch the parent directory's default
ACL before creating a new file, computes the appropriate create mode to
send to the server, and finally sets the new file's access and default
acl appropriately.
