2008-01-31[net] Gracefully handle shared e1000/1000e driver PCI ID'sLinus Torvalds
Both the old e1000 driver and the new e1000e driver can drive some PCI-Express e1000 cards, and we should avoid ambiguity about which driver will pick up the support for those cards when both drivers are enabled. This solves the problem by having the old driver support those cards if the new driver isn't configured, but otherwise ceding support for PCI Express versions of the e1000 chipset to the newer driver. Thus allowing both legacy configurations where only the old driver is active (and handles all chips it knows about) and the new configuration with the new driver handling the more modern PCIE variants.

2008-01-31Make !NETFILTER_ADVANCED enable IP6_NF_MATCH_IPV6HEADERLinus Torvalds
We want IPV6HEADER matching for the non-advanced default netfilter configuration, since it's part of the standard netfilter setup of at least some distributions (eg Fedora). Otherwise NETFILTER_ADVANCED loses much of its point, since even non-advanced users would have to enable all the advanced options just to get a working IPv6 netfilter setup.

2008-01-30x86: defer cr3 reload when doing pud_clear()Jeremy Fitzhardinge
PAE mode requires that we reload cr3 in order to guarantee that changes to the pgd will be noticed by the processor. This means that in principle pud_clear needs to reload cr3 every time. However, because reloading cr3 implies a tlb flush, we want to avoid it where possible. pud_clear() is only used in a couple of places: - in free_pmd_range(), when pulling down a range of process address space, and - huge_pmd_unshare() In both cases, the calling code will do a a tlb flush anyway, so there's no need to do it within pud_clear(). In free_pmd_range(), the pud_clear is immediately followed by pmd_free_tlb(); we can hook that to make the mmu_gather do an unconditional full flush to make sure cr3 gets reloaded. In huge_pmd_unshare, it is followed by flush_tlb_range, which always results in a full cr3-reload tlb flush.

2008-01-30x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)Bernhard Kaindl
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch() to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early. If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that, all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled in standard, non-debug kernels. With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers, if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter. In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire. An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger, without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA access is granted. A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt and I've put a copy online at ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it another copy of it is online at: ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/kernel/ohci1394_dma_early-v2.diff Signed-Off-By: Bernhard Kaindl <bk@suse.de> Tested-By: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as muchJeremy Fitzhardinge
In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on demand. This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation as much as possible. There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to avoid whereever possible. This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

2008-01-30x86: ignore spurious faultsJeremy Fitzhardinge
When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose no security problem. They can, however, generate a spurious fault, which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE). This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics. It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

2008-01-30x86: add testcases for RODATA and NX protections/attributesArjan van de Ven
Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd. I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly exception table sorting stuff. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/ once that patch gets merged into mainline. (I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll wait with that until init.c is unified) As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

2008-01-30x86: make sure initmem is writableArjan van de Ven
When we free initmem, various rodata and CPA checks may have left memory read only.. this patch ensures that the memory is writable before we free it.

2008-01-30x86: fix pageattr-selftestArjan van de Ven
In Ingo's testing, he found a bug in the CPA selftest code. What would happen is that the test would call change_page_attr_addr on a range of memory, part of which was read only, part of which was writable. The only thing the test wanted to change was the global bit... What actually happened was that the selftest would take the permissions of the first page, and then the change_page_attr_addr call would then set the permissions of the entire range to this first page. In the rodata section case, this resulted in pages after the .rodata becoming read only... which made the kernel rather unhappy in many interesting ways. This is just another example of how dangerous the cpa API is (was); this patch changes the test to use the incremental clear/set APIs instead, and it changes the clear/set implementation to work on a 1 page at a time basis.
