* mm: make read_cache_page synchronousNick Piggin2007-05-0724-146/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls. I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7 possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return with a !uptodate page.

* Use ZVC counters to establish exact size of dirtyable pagesChristoph Lameter2007-05-071-10/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can use the global ZVC counters to establish the exact size of the LRU and the free pages. This allows a more accurate determination of the dirty ratio. This patch will fix the broken ratio calculations if large amounts of memory are allocated to huge pags or other consumers that do not put the pages on to the LRU. Notes: - I did not add NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE to the calculation of the dirtyable pages. Those may be reclaimable but they are at this point not dirtyable. If NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE would be considered then a huge number of reclaimable pages would stop writeback from occurring. - This patch used to be in mm as the last one in a series of patches. It was removed when Linus updated the treatment of highmem because there was a conflict. I updated the patch to follow Linus' approach. This patch is neede to fulfill the claims made in the beginning of the patchset that is now in Linus' tree.

* Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial valuesChristoph Lameter2007-05-074-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte rangeJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-05-072-0/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given function to every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm structure. This is a generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking code in every place that a sequence of PTEs must be accessed. Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O memory (in ioremap()).

* MPSC serial driver tx lockingDave Jiang2007-05-071-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPSC serial driver assumes that interrupt is always on to pick up the DMA transmit ops that aren't submitted while the DMA engine is active. However when irqs are off for a period of time such as operations under kernel crash dump console messages do not show up due to additional DMA ops are being dropped. This makes console writes to process through all the tx DMAs queued up before submitting a new request. Also, the current locking mechanism does not protect the hardware registers and ring buffer when a printk is done during the serial write operations. The additional per port transmit lock provides a finer granular locking and protects registers being clobbered while printks are nested within UART writes.

* serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_coreDavid Gibson2007-05-074-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change these settings. Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with setserial are ignored. In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

* serial driver PMC MSP71xxMarc St-Jean2007-05-075-0/+202
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices. There are three different fixes: 1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard 16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled if a character is actually sent out. It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch. 2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and rewrites it after clearing the interrupt. 3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously queued write transaction has also completed.

* add new_id to PCMCIA driversBernhard Walle2007-05-073-1/+148
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PCI drivers have the new_id file in sysfs which allows new IDs to be added at runtime. The advantage is to avoid re-compilation of a driver that works for a new device, but it's ID table doesn't contain the new device. This mechanism is only meant for testing, after the driver has been tested successfully, the ID should be added in source code so that new revisions of the kernel automatically detect the device. The implementation follows the PCI implementation. The interface is documented in Documentation/pcmcia/driver.txt. Computations should be done in userspace, so the sysfs string contains the raw structure members for matching.

* Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"Linus Torvalds2007-05-0710-58/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(), and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which is more readable and has nicer semantics. However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced, and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later. Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add more sanity-checking of the argument.

On PowerPC at the moment, for example, it results in these warnings: init/missing_syscalls.h:935:3: warning: #warning syscall sync_file_range not implemented init/missing_syscalls.h:947:3: warning: #warning syscall getcpu not implemented init/missing_syscalls.h:950:3: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implemented The file scripts/checksyscalls.sh list a number of legacy system calls that are ignored because they only makes sense on i386 systems.

| * kbuild: do not emit src version warning for non-modulesSam Ravnborg2007-05-021-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | modpost is now called with .o files that are not modules. So do not warn if there is no corresponding .mod file listing .o files (in .tmp_versions/). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When loading an alternate configuration use that file as current configuration filename. Make the filename visible in the dialog.

| * kbuild: move tags from ARCH and include/ ahead of driversDon Mullis2007-05-021-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move tags extracted from the ARCH and include/ sub-trees ahead of those from device drivers, so that the former will appear first during searches. Saves user time during interactive searches for certain patterns that happen to find unwanted matches in driver files. Example in emacs: "M-x find-tag PAGE_SIZE" "M-1 M-."

| * kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpostMatthew Wilcox2007-05-022-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of modpost's warnings are fatal, and some are not. Adopt the compiler distinction between errors and warnings by calling merror() for fatal diagnostics and warn() for non-fatal ones. merror() was used as replacemtn for error() to avoid clash with glibc Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| * cleanpatch: a script to clean up stealth whitespace added by a patchH. Peter Anvin2007-05-021-0/+206
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This script is a companion to the "cleanfile" script. This cleans up a patch in unified diff format *before* it is applied. Note that the empty lines at the end of file detection *requires* that the diff was taken with at least one line of context around each hunk, or bad things will happen. This script cleans up various classes of stealth whitespace. In particular, it cleans up: - Whitespace (spaces or tabs)before newline; - DOS line endings (CR before LF); - Space before tab (spaces are deleted or converted to tabs); - Empty lines at end of file.
