2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_hdmi: enable "external" modeGuennadi Liakhovetski
The SH-Mobile HDMI controller supports two configuration modes: using pre-programmed VICs and the "external" mode - specifying video parameters explicitly. The driver already contains code, necessary to configure HDMI manually, this patch actually enables it.

2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_hdmi: add initial support for modes, other than 720pGuennadi Liakhovetski
To support standard video modes, other than 720p, the HDMI PHY configuration has to be adjusted and the VIC has to be sent to the display. Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: allocate memory, sufficient for the biggest modeGuennadi Liakhovetski
Now, that we add support for multiple modes to the sh_mobile_lcdcfb driver, it has to allocate memory, sufficient for the biggest of them. Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: fix notifier callback return codesGuennadi Liakhovetski
Notifier callbacks have to return either one of NOTIFY_* codes or a negative errno, converted to a suitable value by the notifier_from_errno() inline, if the notifier chain shall not be continued.

2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: Support multiple video modes in platform dataGuennadi Liakhovetski
This is a preparation for HDMI hotplug support. This patch just moves all platform defined video modes for the sh_mobile_lcdcfb driver to separate arrays and switches all users to use element 0 of that array, so, this patch doesn't introduce any functional changes and as such should not cause any regressions.

2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdcfb: fix more error pathsGuennadi Liakhovetski
This patch fixes the following two erroneous error paths: hw_usecnt is allocated with a value of 0, therefore in an early error case, calling sh_mobile_lcdc_clk_off() will wrongly conclude, that hw_usecnt has already been incremented. Then sh_mobile_lcdc_runtime_suspend() will be called, which will access uninitialised data fields and crash the kernel. sh_mobile_lcdc_stop() can be called before framebuffer has been allocated, then ch->info is NULL and dereferencing it will Oops too.

2010-09-14fbdev: sh_mobile_hdmi: simplify the EDID reading procedureGuennadi Liakhovetski
The present SH-Mobile HDMI driver reads and parses the EDID block into a variable screeninfo object, but since it is still unable to dynamically reconfigure the framebuffer, it overwrites the EDID information with preset values again. This patch just uses a temporary variable to store the EDID timing information instead. Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2010-09-11PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memoryRafael J. Wysocki
There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-09-10xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queueDave Chinner
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion processing was being seen to slow everything down even further. By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue, they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

2010-09-10execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large argumentsRoland McGrath
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL. Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending(). We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.

2010-09-10execve: improve interactivity with large argumentsRoland McGrath
This adds a preemption point during the copying of the argument and environment strings for execve, in copy_strings(). There is already a preemption point in the count() loop, so this doesn't add any new points in the abstract sense. When the total argument+environment strings are very large, the time spent copying them can be much more than a normal user time slice. So this change improves the interactivity of the rest of the system when one process is doing an execve with very large arguments.

2010-09-10setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument sizeRoland McGrath
The CONFIG_STACK_GROWSDOWN variant of setup_arg_pages() does not check the size of the argument/environment area on the stack. When it is unworkably large, shift_arg_pages() hits its BUG_ON. This is exploitable with a very large RLIMIT_STACK limit, to create a crash pretty easily. Check that the initial stack is not too large to make it possible to map in any executable. We're not checking that the actual executable (or intepreter, for binfmt_elf) will fit. So those mappings might clobber part of the initial stack mapping. But that is just userland lossage that userland made happen, not a kernel problem.
