* [PATCH] files: break up files structDipankar Sarma2005-09-093-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

* [PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switchChen, Kenneth W2005-09-091-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large (currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function. The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

* [PATCH] alpha: process_reloc_for_got confuses r_offset and r_addendChaskiel Grundman2005-09-091-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend. In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10 times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the .got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load and the load is aborted. Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of non-shortcut version of routines breaking CPU hotplug. The option to select this via cmdline also is deleted with the physflat patch, hence directly placing this code under CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. We dont want to use broadcast mode IPI's when hotplug is enabled. This causes bad effects in send IPI to a cpu that is offline which can trip when the cpu is in the process of being kicked alive.

* [PATCH] i386: seccomp fix for auditing/ptraceAndrea Arcangeli2005-09-091-8/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the same issue as ppc64 before, when returning to userland we shouldn't re-compute the seccomp check or the task could be killed during sigreturn when orig_eax is overwritten by the sigreturn syscall. This was found by Roland. This was harmless from a security standpoint, but some i686 users reported failures with auditing enabled system wide (some distro surprisingly makes it the default) and I reproduced it too by keeping the whole workload under strace -f. Patch is tested and works for me under strace -f. nobody@athlon:~/cpushare> strace -o /tmp/o -f python seccomp_test.py make: Nothing to be done for `seccomp_test'. Starting computing some malicious bytecode init load start stop receive_data failure kill exit_code 0 signal 9 The malicious bytecode has been killed successfully by seccomp Starting computing some safe bytecode init load start stop 174 counts kill exit_code 0 signal 0 The seccomp_test.py completed successfully, thank you for testing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with the cpu_name field, and removes the defines altogether. The Ebony portion was briefly tested long ago. One benefit of moving from PVR-tests to string tests in general is that not all CPUs can be on and be able to do this type of comparison.

| * Allow PCI config space syscalls to be used by 64-bit processes.Paul Mackerras2005-09-093-57/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pciconfig_iobase, pciconfig_read and pciconfig_write system calls were only implemented for 32-bit processes; for 64-bit processes they returned an ENOSYS error. This allows them to be used by 64-bit processes as well. The X server uses pciconfig_iobase at least, and this change is necessary to allow a 64-bit X server to work on my G5.

| * [PATCH] PPC64: large INITRD causes kernel not to bootMark Bellon2005-09-091-5/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In PPC64 there are number of problems in arch/ppc64/boot/main.c that prevent a kernel from making use of a large (greater than ~16MB) INITRD. This is 64 bit architecture and really large INITRD images should be possible. Simply put the existing code has a fixed reservation (claim) address and once the kernel plus initrd image are large enough to pass this address all sorts of bad things occur. The fix is the dynamically establish the first claim address above the loaded kernel plus initrd (plus some "padding" and rounding). If PROG_START is defined this will be used as the minimum safe address - currently known to be 0x01400000 for the firmwares tested so far.
