2007-03-20[IA64] Fix wrong /proc/iomem on SGI AltixBernhard Walle
In sn_io_slot_fixup(), the parent is re-set from the bus to io(port|mem)_resource because the address is changed in a way that it's not child of the bus any more. However, only the root is set but not the parent/child/sibling relationship in the resource tree which causes 'cat /proc/iomem' to stop after this memory area. Depding on the poition in the tree the iomem may be nearly completely empty.

2007-03-20[IA64] Altix: ioremap vga_console_iobaseJohn Keller
When booting an SN system without specifing a console (i.e., no "console=" on boot line), the system will hang during boot at the point where /sbin/init is run. The problem is that vga_console_iobase is not converted to a virtual address before storing in io_space[0].mmio_base. The conversion was happening in sn_scan_pcdp(), but not in setup_vga_console().

2007-03-20[IA64] Fix get_model_name() for mixed cpu type systemsJack Steiner
If a system consists of mixed processor types, kmalloc() can be called before the per-cpu data page is initialized. If the slab contains sufficient memory, then kmalloc() works ok. However, if the slabs are empty, slab calls the memory allocator. This requires per-cpu data (NODE_DATA()) & the cpu dies. Also noted by Russ Anderson who had a very similar patch.

2007-03-20[IA64] min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation fixZou Nan hai
We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in recent 2.6.20 kernel. There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn) reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn will be greater than kernel code and data. Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw pfn_valid check fail on those pages. I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c. I found more issues than this. 1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between contig.c and discontig.c, min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c. max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c. 2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad. 3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem. So it is better to fix and clean up those issues. Calculate min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn in a consistent way.

The evils of Kconfig's select bite us once again... ia64/Kconfig selects ACPI, which depends on PM. But select ignores dependencies, allnoconfig chooses CONFIG_PM=n, and thus the menu of sub-options under ACPI vanish, which breaks the build. Manually select PM along with ACPI for now. Some day, we should delete them both, or fix select. Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-03-06[IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core headerMagnus Damm
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64. The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory. If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it. So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image. This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs a vma mapping that memory. Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from being closed and the memory freed. This results in use-after-free bugs and multiple freeing of pages, etc. I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9. Haven't reproduced upstream but it looks like the same issue is there.

2007-03-01ACPI: Altix: reinitialize acpi tablesJohn Keller
To provide compatibilty with SN kernels that do and do not have ACPI IO support, the SN PROM must build different versions of some ACPI tables based on which kernel is booting. As such, the tables may have to change at kernel boot time. By default, prior to kernel boot, the PROM builds an empty DSDT (header only) and no SSDTs. If an ACPI capable kernel boots, the kernel will notify the PROM, at platform setup time, and the PROM will build full DSDT and SSDT tables. With the latest changes to acpi_table_init(), the table lengths are saved, and when our PROM changes them, the changes are not seen, and the kernel will crash on boot. Because of issues with kexec support, we are not able to create the tables prior to acpi_table_init(). As a result, we are making a second call to acpi_table_init() to process the rebuilt DSDT and SSDTs. Signed-off-by: John Keller <jpk@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries.

By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't break glibc. This is totally irresponsible. So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl support from their sysctl code. Hopefully they don't have ascii name conflicts as well.

fix-rmmod-read-write-races-in-proc-entries.patch doesn't want dynamically allocated ->proc_fops, because it will set it to NULL at module unload time. Regardless of module status, switch to statically allocated ->proc_fops which leads to simpler code without wrappers. AFAICS, also fix the following bug: "sn_force_interrupt" proc entry set ->write for itself, but was created with 0444 permissions. Change to 0644.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfoKyle McMartin
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested. This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

2007-02-11[PATCH] disable init/initramfs.c: architecturesJean-Paul Saman
Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected. This saves another 4 kbytes on most platfoms (some reserve PAGE_SIZE for initramfs).

2007-02-11[PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: introduce CONFIG_ZONE_DMAChristoph Lameter
This patch simply defines CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches. We later do special things with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA after the VM and an arch are prepared to work without ZONE_DMA. CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture handles ISA DMA. First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported. We can catch this in mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code. Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way. We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards compatibility. The arches may later undefine ZONE_DMA if their arch code has been verified to not depend on ZONE_DMA.
