2007-04-25[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_mac_header(skb)Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in 64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit. This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more "complex" cases. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-04-24[PATCH] x86-64: Always flush all pages in change_page_attrAndi Kleen
change_page_attr on x86-64 only flushed the TLB for pages that got reverted. That's not correct: it has to be flushed in all cases. This bug was added in some earlier changes. Just flush all pages for now. This could be done more efficiently, but for this late in the release this seem to be the best fix. Pointed out by Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2007-04-24[PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement optionAndi Kleen
noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with FNSAVE and cause corruption. Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time. Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2007-04-24[PATCH] x86-64: make GART PTEs uncacheableJoachim Deguara
This patches fixes the silent data corruption problems being seen using the GART iommu where 4kB of data where incorrect (seen mostly on Nvidia CK804 systems). This fix, to mark the memory regin the GART PTEs reside on as uncacheable, also brings the code in line with the AGP specification.

I don't figure anyone really cares about SunOS syscall emulation, and I certainly don't. But I'm getting rid of uses of the OPEN_MAX and CHILD_MAX compile-time constant, and these are almost the only ones. OPEN_MAX is a bogus constant with no meaning about anything. The RLIMIT_NOFILE resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) actually wants to return. The CHILD_MAX cases weren't actually using anything I want to get rid of, but I noticed that they are there and are wrong too. The CHILD_MAX value is not really unlimited as a -1 return from sysconf indicates. The RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) wants to return.

2007-04-08[PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21Zachary Amsden
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler.

The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later.

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs.
