2005-05-05[PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600Christoph Hellwig
This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960 V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support for all others. This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960 driver. Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and testing this patch. No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver. Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver. Cc: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-05[PATCH] setitimer timer expires too earlyPaulo Marques
It seems that the code responsible for this is in kernel/itimer.c:126: p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval; add_timer(&p->signal->real_timer); If you request an interval of, lets say 900 usecs, the interval given by timeval_to_jiffies will be 1. If you request this when we are half-way between two timer ticks, the interval will only give 400 usecs. If we want to guarantee that we never ever give intervals less than requested, the simple solution would be to change that to: p->signal->real_timer.expires = jiffies + interval + 1; This however will produce pathological cases, like having a idle system being requested 1 ms timeouts will give systematically 2 ms timeouts, whereas currently it simply gives a few usecs less than 1 ms. The complex (and more computationally expensive) solution would be to check the gettimeofday time, and compute the correct number of jiffies. This way, if we request a 300 usecs timer 200 usecs inside the timer tick, we can wait just one tick, but not if we are 800 usecs inside the tick. This would also mean that we would have to lock preemption during these computations to avoid races, etc. I've searched the archives but couldn't find this particular issue being discussed before. Attached is a patch to do the simple solution, in case anybody thinks that it should be used.

2005-05-05[PATCH] __block_write_full_page race fixNick Piggin
When running fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2 on an ext2 filesystem with 1024 byte block size, on SMP i386 with 4096 byte page size over loopback to an image file on a tmpfs filesystem, I would very quickly hit BUG_ON(!buffer_async_write(bh)); in fs/buffer.c:end_buffer_async_write It seems that more than one request would be submitted for a given bh at a time. What would happen is the following: 2 threads doing __mpage_writepages on the same page. Thread 1 - lock the page first, and enter __block_write_full_page. Thread 1 - (eg.) mark_buffer_async_write on the first 2 buffers. Thread 1 - set page writeback, unlock page. Thread 2 - lock page, wait on page writeback Thread 1 - submit_bh on the first 2 buffers. => both requests complete, none of the page buffers are async_write, end_page_writeback is called. Thread 2 - wakes up. enters __block_write_full_page. Thread 2 - mark_buffer_async_write on (eg.) the last buffer Thread 1 - finds the last buffer has async_write set, submit_bh on that. Thread 2 - submit_bh on the last buffer. => oops. So change __block_write_full_page to explicitly keep track of the last bh we need to issue, so we don't touch anything after issuing the last request.

BUG sighted on a 2-way Itanium2 system with 16K PAGE_SIZE running fsstress -v -d $DIR/tmp -n 1000 -p 1000 -l 2 where $DIR is a new ext2 filesystem with 4K blocks that is quite small (causing get_block to fail often with -ENOSPC).

2005-05-05[PATCH] uml: s390 preparation, checksumming done in arch codeBodo Stroesser

Then, csum_partial_copy_to and csum_partial_copy_from were shifted from arch/um/kernel/checksum.c to arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/checksum.h and inserted in the calling functions csum_partial_copy_from_user() and csum_and_copy_to_user().

2005-05-05[PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault dataBodo Stroesser
This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and skas-regs. It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in sysdep/faultinfo.h. The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and thread.regs.tt Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment. Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo) extracts the faulting address from faultinfo FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo) extracts the "is_write" flag SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo) is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14) on i386 UPT_FAULTINFO(regs) result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo in regs->skas.faultinfo GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *) copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to struct faultinfo. On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is missing, because segv-stub will provide the info. The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault handling. Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(), I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

Beginning of cross-build fixes.

Namely, have user-offsets.c compiled *for* *target* into user-offsets.s and sed it into the header with relevant constants. We don't need to reinvent any wheels - all tools are already there. This patch deals with mk_user_constants. It doesn't assume any relationship between target and build environment anymore - we pick all defines we need from user-offsets.h.

2005-05-05[PATCH] x86_64: make string func definition work as intendedPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments: /* Use C out of line version for memcmp */ #define memcmp __builtin_memcmp int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count); This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp, it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp". Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular case is not a documented feature as far as I can see. Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch. I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated) exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by another patch I just posted for -mm).

These are some trivial fixes for the x86-64 subarch module support. The only potential problem is that I have to modify arch/x86_64/kernel/module.c, to avoid copying the whole of it. I can't use it verbatim because it depends on a special vmalloc-like area for modules, which for now (maybe that's to fix, I guess not) UML/x86-64 has not. I went the easy way and reused the i386 vmalloc()-based allocator.

2005-05-05[PATCH] uml: obvious compile fixes for x86-64 Subarch and x86 regression fixesPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
This patch does some totally trivial compilation fixes. It also restores the debugregs manipulation, which was commented out simply because it doesn't compile on x86_64 (we haven't yet implemented there debugregs handling).

2005-05-05[PATCH] ppc64: pgtable.h and other header cleanupsDavid Gibson
This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew. It now makes a bunch of cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding changes to .c files where necessary) such as: - Abolishing never-used macros - Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose - Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible) - Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in terms of each other weren't - Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their own header file (imalloc.h) - Re-arranging headers to group things more logically - Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h - Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're not using it. - Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ppc64: remove hidden -fno-omit-frame-pointer for schedule.cAnton Blanchard
While looking at code generated by gcc4.0 I noticed some functions still had frame pointers, even after we stopped ppc64 from defining CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. It turns out kernel/Makefile hardwires -fno-omit-frame-pointer on when compiling schedule.c. Create CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER and define it on architectures that dont require frame pointers in sched.c code.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ppc32: Simplified PPC core revision reportKumar Gala
We can identify new Freescale PPC cores by the fact that the MSB of the PVR is set. If we are a new Freescale core the decode of major/minor revision numbers is simplified so we dont have to add new case checks for a every new Freescale core.
