2005-12-01[PATCH] ppc32: fix treeboot image entrypointEugene Surovegin
Correctly specify treeboot based image entrypoint. Currently makefile uses $(ENTRYPOINT) which isn't defined anywhere. Each board port sets entrypoint-$(CONFIG_BOARD_NAME) instead. Without this patch I cannot boot Ocotea (PPC440GX eval board) anymore. I was getting random "OS panic" errors from OpenBIOS for a while, but with current kernel I get them all the time (probably because image became bigger).

2005-11-28[PATCH] m32r: Fix sys_tas() syscallHirokazu Takata
This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel. In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set function for userspace, for backward compatibility. In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused at sys_tas() funcion. Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of __pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations. The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0. On the other hand, pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking. In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case: - Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution. - __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation ("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") during a execution of sys_tas(). In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the __pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next turn and after that. According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next turn and deadlocks never happen.

The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to make it work again. It deals with the following problems: (1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG. (2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed. (3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined. (4) page->private is no longer directly accessible. (5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h (6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so get type casting errors. (7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform. (8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no longer exists. (9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.

2005-11-28mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logicLinus Torvalds
This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-25[ARM] Do not call flush_tlb_kernel_range() with IRQs disabled.Russell King
We must not call TLB maintainence operations with interrupts disabled, otherwise we risk a lockup in the SMP IPI code. This means that consistent_free() can not be called from a context with IRQs disabled. In addition, we must not hold the lock in consistent_free when we call flush_tlb_kernel_range(). However, we must continue to prevent consistent_alloc() from re-using the memory region until we've finished tearing down the mapping and dealing with the TLB. Therefore, leave the vm_region entry in the list, but mark it inactive before dropping the lock and starting the tear-down process. After the mapping has been torn down, re-acquire the lock and remove the entry from the list. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-11-25[PATCH] powerpc: More hugepage boundary case fixesDavid Gibson
Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 where we tweaked the semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<' with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences). The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up things like this if they creep in again.

2005-11-23[PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundaryDavid Gibson
Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t. Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match, second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point. The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is triggered at the wrong point.

2005-11-23[PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execveJim Keniston
Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

2005-11-22[PATCH] unpaged: fix sound Bad page statesHugh Dickins
Earlier I unifdefed PageCompound, so that snd_pcm_mmap_control_nopage and others can give out a 0-order component of a higher-order page, which won't be mistakenly freed when zap_pte_range unmaps it. But many Bad page states reported a PG_reserved was freed after all: I had missed that we need to say __GFP_COMP to get compound page behaviour. Some of these higher-order pages are allocated by snd_malloc_pages, some by snd_malloc_dev_pages; or if SBUS, by sbus_alloc_consistent - but that has no gfp arg, so add __GFP_COMP into its sparc32/64 implementations.

2005-11-22[PATCH] unpaged: VM_UNPAGEDHugh Dickins
Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages just leak away. Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core, to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range. Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages don't get on). Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

2005-11-22[PATCH] uml: eliminate use of local in clone stubJeff Dike
We have a bug in the i386 stub_syscall6 which pushes ebp before the system call and pops it afterwards. Because we use syscall6 to remap the stack, the old contents of the stack (and the former value of ebp) are no longer available. Some versions of gcc make from a real local, accessed through ebp, despite my efforts to make it obvious that references to from are really constants. This patch attempts to make it even more obvious by eliminating from and using a macro to access the stub's data explicitly with constants. My original thinking on this was to replace syscall6 with a remap_stack interface which saved ebp someplace and restored it afterwards. The problem is that there are no registers to put it in, except for esp. That could work, since we can store a constant in esp after the mmap because we just replaced the stack. However, this approach seems a tad cleaner. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
