| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sd driver now uses scsi_execute_req() for almost everything. scsi_execute_req() converts requests into scatterlists. Fix the HP SCSI disk simulator to understand scatterlists for more commands. Without this patch the current kernel will not boot on the simulator (the disks are always detected as having no sectors, and so cannot be mounted).

* [PATCH] uml: fix compile warning after consolidation patchPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-09-211-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The header declaring this function wasn't included, so the function declaration was totally bogus wrt. the proto - even if this wasn't going to fail at all. It was so bad that the compile warning I got was "control reaches end of non-void function", i.e. missing return. Actually, this has been there for ages, the consolidation patch just added the warning which was needed to clean it up. Nice. Really.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even if with a bit of misunderstanding, Al fixed this in commit 95608261dae863bc43292e6fbd946a3abd3aa49f. Well, the symbol was intended to come from userspace (it exists there on normal host), but since some hosts may miss that, using the kernel one is just as fine. However, rename it to be named consistently with the rest. Actually, he missed converting ELFCLASS32 to coming from kernel headers. For consistence, add ELFCLASS64 too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zImage.vmode was recently added. It's a version of zImage in which the ELF note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual mode instance of OF instead of real mode. This allows it to work with Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command line. (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes section specifies the mode at all). However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This fixes it.

* | [PATCH] PPC64: Fix boot for some pre-POWER4 systemsOlof Johansson2005-09-211-80/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some RS64 systems (such as F80) have non-python host bridges with EADS. However, they have two EADS with 4 buses each under them, so the old logic that assumed no more than 7 busses per PHB failed miserably. Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few machines that broke from the previous logic. Also, to be a bit smarter at detecting the need for a PHB-level IOMMU table by checking for the presence of an ISA bus. Only PHBs with ISA bridges should need the PHB-level table.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we use byte loads/stores to cons up the value in and out of registers, we can't expect the ASI endianness setting to take care of this for us. So do it by hand. This case is triggered by drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c in the ataid_complete() function where it goes: /* word 100: number lba48 sectors */ ssize = le64_to_cpup((__le64 *) &id[100<<1]); This &id[100<<1] address is 4 byte, rather than 8 byte aligned, thus triggering the unaligned exception.

* [PATCH] Alpha: ISA IRQs fixup for dp264Ivan Kokshaysky2005-09-191-18/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically, this extends original dp264 fixup to all dp264 variations. Here is one minor change: mask out bits 4-7 of a value assigned by SRM, because - newer consoles report ISA IRQs with offset 0xe0; - even if console IRQ value is bogus, we'll have a value < 16 so it should be harmless as it won't clash with native IRQs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Deepak Saxena Building a kernel for IXDP425 currently includes the machine descriptors for IXDP465 and PRPMC1100 even if those machines are not configured. This means we can build a kernel that boots on those machines even though the machine_is_xxx() macro will always return 0 and other bits such as PCI won't be compiled in. This can lead to many wasted hours wondering what you have done to your kernel to make it randomly crash thus requireing large quantities of beer to be consumed. While I am all for consumption of large quantities of beer, there are better reasons to do so then stupid kernel bugs.

* [PATCH] uml: preserve errno in error pathsJeff Dike2005-09-179-78/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However, the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0 rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no end of interesting behavior. The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned. In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the printk. There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value that it wanted.

* [PATCH] uml: breakpoint an arbitrary threadJeff Dike2005-09-174-1/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does. The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger. While sysrq-t does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks. It also doesn't work right now. In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t would be okay. For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to the original thread. Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover. Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread back into context, where it can be examined by gdb. The fact that it dumps it stack is secondary. This provides the capability to examine a sleeping thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now. Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly anyway.
