2007-08-01[IA64] ITC: Reduce rating for ITC clock if ITCs are driftyChristoph Lameter
Make sure to reduce the rating of the ITC clock if ITCs are drifty. If they are drifting then we have not synchronized the ITC values, nor are we doing the jitter compensation (useless since drift may increase the differentials arbitrarily). Without this patch it is possible that the ITC clock becomes selected as the system clock on systems with drifty ITCs which will result in nanosleep hanging. One can still select the itc clock manually on such systems via clocksource=itc (Produces nice hangs on SGI Altix.)

2007-08-01[IA64] SN2: Fix up sn2_rtc clockChristoph Lameter
If the sn2_rtc clock is present then it is a must have since sn2_rtc provides a synchronized time source on Altix systems. So elevate the priority to 450. Otherwise the ITC would take precendence. Altix systems currently do not boot because the ITC clocksource is broken. It seems to assume that ITCs are synchronized and as a result nanosleep hangs (may be fixed in a different patch). While we are at it: Remove the sn2_mc definition. The sn2_rtc has a fixed address. No point in reading the address from memory. Removing it avoids touching one cacheline.

2007-07-30[IA64] Fix possible race in destroy_and_reserve_irq()Kenji Kaneshige
Currently, destroy_and_reserve_irq() sets irq_status[irq] UNUSED using clear_irq_vector() and sets irq_status[irq] RSVD using reserve_irq(). But there is a race window because vector_lock is once released between them. This patch fixes this race window.

2007-07-30[IA64] Fix registered interrupt checkKenji Kaneshige
Fix the problem that interrupts are not initialized correctly at PCI hotplug or driver reloading time. By vector domain change, the iosapic_rte_info structure was changed to be on the iosapic_intr_info[irq].rtes list even after the interrupts are unregistered. So iosapic_intr_info[irq].rtes list must not be checked to see if there are registered interrupts (RTEs) on the irq. We must check iosapic_intr_info[irq].count counter instead.

2007-07-29Remove fs.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan
Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this, 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway. 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it. As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

2007-07-19define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

2007-07-19jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for usersMichael Ellerman
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

2007-07-19mm: fault feedback #2Nick Piggin
This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault -- however that would be for another patch).

Based on usage and testing over the past couple of years, kprobes on i386, ia64, powerpc and x86_64 is no longer EXPERIMENTAL. This is a follow-up to Robert P.J. Day's patch making "Instrumentation support" non-EXPERIMENTAL: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118396955423812&w=2 Arch maintainers for sparc64, avr32 and s390 need to take a similar call.

2007-07-17Report that kernel is tainted if there was an OOPSPavel Emelianov
If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as tainted. Thus, all subsequent OOPSes and SysRq dumps will report the tainted kernel. This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the calltraces.

2007-07-17handle kernelcore=: genericMel Gorman
This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86. Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new sysctl. This patch adds the necessary documentation. From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64 because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled in an architecture-independent manner. This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing (i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will ignore the boot parameter.
