* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6: crypto: ixp4xx - Fix qmgr_request_queue build failure crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithms
2009-02-26crypto: api - Fix module load deadlock with fallback algorithmsHerbert Xu
With the mandatory algorithm testing at registration, we have now created a deadlock with algorithms requiring fallbacks. This can happen if the module containing the algorithm requiring fallback is loaded first, without the fallback module being loaded first. The system will then try to test the new algorithm, find that it needs to load a fallback, and then try to load that. As both algorithms share the same module alias, it can attempt to load the original algorithm again and block indefinitely. As algorithms requiring fallbacks are a special case, we can fix this by giving them a different module alias than the rest. Then it's just a matter of using the right aliases according to what algorithms we're trying to find. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2009-02-19[S390] fix "mem=" handling in case of standby memoryHeiko Carstens
Standby memory detected with the sclp interface gets always registered with add_memory calls without considering the limitationt that the "mem=" kernel paramater implies. So fix this and only register standby memory that is below the specified limit. This fixes zfcpdump since it uses "mem=32M". In case there is appr. 2GB standby memory present all of usable memory would be used for the struct pages needed for standby memory.

2009-02-19[S390] Fix timeval regression on s390Christian Borntraeger
commit aa5e97ce4bbc9d5daeec16b1d15bb3f6b7b4f4d4 [PATCH] improve precision of process accounting. Introduced a timing regression: -bash-3.2# time ls real 0m0.006s user 0m1.754s sys 0m1.094s The problem was introduced by an error in cputime_to_timeval. Cputime is now 1/4096 microsecond, therefore, we have to divide the remainder with 4096 to get the microseconds.

2009-02-15KVM: Add kvm_arch_sync_events to sync with asynchronize eventsSheng Yang
kvm_arch_sync_events is introduced to quiet down all other events may happen contemporary with VM destroy process, like IRQ handler and work struct for assigned device. For kvm_arch_sync_events is called at the very beginning of kvm_destroy_vm(), so the state of KVM here is legal and can provide a environment to quiet down other events.

2009-01-23[S390] etr/stp: fix possible deadlockHeiko Carstens
Precreate stop_machine threads in case the machine supports ETR/STP. Otherwise we might deadlock if a time sync operation gets scheduled and the creation of stop_machine threads would cause disk I/O. This is just the minimal fix. The real fix would be to only precreate stop_machine threads if ETR/STP is actually used. But that would be a rather large and complicated patch.

2009-01-23[S390] cputime: fix lowcore initialization on cpu hotplugHeiko Carstens
On (initial) cpu hotplug the lowcore values for user_timer and system_timer don't get initialized like they would get on each process schedule. On initial start of secondary cpus this leads to the situation where per thread user/system_timer values are larger than the corresponding contents of the lowcore. When later calculating time spent in user/system context the result can be negative. So for cpu hotplug we should manually initialize lowcore values.

2009-01-23[S390] fix compat sigaltstack syscall table entryMichael Holzheu
When 31 bit user space programs call sigaltstack on a 64 bit Linux OS, the system call returns -1 with errno=EFAULT. The 31 bit pointer passed to the system call is extended to 64 bit, but the high order bits are not set to zero. The kernel detects the invalid user space pointer and returns -EFAULT. To solve the problem, sys32_sigaltstack_wrapper() instead of sys32_sigaltstack() has to be called. The wrapper function sets the high order bits to zero.

2009-01-06mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfsGary Hade
Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all the memory sections located on nodeX. For example: /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1. Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state' that were previously not described there. In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with the maximum possible amount of physical location information for resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by this change. Immediate: - Provides information needed to determine the specific node on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out. - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory could be ugly. - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes. Future: - Will provide information needed to identify the memory sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal of a specific node. Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

2008-12-31KVM: s390: Fix memory leak of vcpu->runChristian Borntraeger
The s390 backend of kvm never calls kvm_vcpu_uninit. This causes a memory leak of vcpu->run pages. Lets call kvm_vcpu_uninit in kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy to free the vcpu->run.

2008-12-31KVM: s390: Fix refcounting and allow module unloadChristian Borntraeger
Currently it is impossible to unload the kvm module on s390. This patch fixes kvm_arch_destroy_vm to release all cpus. This make it possible to unload the module. In addition we stop messing with the module refcount in arch code.

2008-12-31[PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky
The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

2008-12-31[PATCH] improve idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
Distinguish the cputime of the idle process where idle is actually using cpu cycles from the cputime where idle is sleeping on an enabled wait psw. The former is accounted as system time, the later as idle time. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2008-12-31[PATCH] improve precision of process accounting.Martin Schwidefsky
The unit of the cputime accouting values that are stored per process is currently a microsecond. The CPU timer has a maximum granularity of 2**-12 microseconds. There is no benefit in storing the per process values in the lesser precision and there is the disadvantage that the backend has to do the rounding to microseconds. The better solution is to use the maximum granularity of the CPU timer as cputime unit. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-12-31[PATCH] idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-12-31[PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.
