[AK: This apparently broke some systems, but we need it to fix
a compile problem with old binutils and in theory the patch
is correct. So let's trying reenabling it again.]
o Currently bss segment is being placed somewhere in the middle (after .data)
section and after bss lots of init section and data sections are coming.
Is it intentional?
o One side affect of placing bss in the middle is that objcopy keeps the
bss in raw binary image (vmlinux.bin) hence unnecessarily increasing
the size of raw binary image. (In my case ~600K). It also increases
the size of generated bzImage, though the increase is very small
(896 bytes), probably a very high compression ratio for stream
of zeros.
o This patch moves the bss at the end hence reducing the size of
bzImage by 896 bytes and size of vmlinux.bin by 600K.
o This change benefits in the context of relocatable kernel patches. If
kernel bss is not part of compressed data (vmlinux.bin) then it does
not have to be decompressed and this area can be used by the decompressor
for its execution hence keeping the memory requirements bounded and
decompressor code does not stomp over any other data loaded beyond
kernel image (As might be the case with bootloaders like kexec).

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.
Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.
This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes
it.
As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch)

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

This appears to be the only usage of is_init in the kernel besides the
usage in sched.h. On ia64 the same function is called in_init. So to
remove the conflict and make the kernel more consistent rename is_init
is_core is_local and is_local_section to in_init in_core in_local and
in_local_section respectively.
Thanks to Adrian Bunk who spotted this, and to Matthew Wilcox
who suggested this fix.

efi_call_phys_epilog
The functions efi_call_phys_prelog and efi_call_phys_epilog in
arch/i386/kernel/efi.c wrap the spinlock efi_rt_lock: efi_call_phys_prelog
returns with the lock held, and efi_call_phys_epilog releases the lock
without acquiring it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that
sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not
complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this
manner.

Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

Mechanical, hopefully non-functional changes stemming from
setup_etheraddr always succeeding now that it always assigns a MAC,
either from the command line or generated randomly:
the test of the return of setup_etheraddr is removed, and code
dependent on it succeeding is now unconditional
setup_etheraddr can now be made void
struct uml_net.have_mac is now always 1, so tests of it can be
similarly removed, and uses of it can be replaced with 1
struct uml_net.have_mac is no longer used, so it can be removed
struct uml_net_private.have_mac is copied from struct uml_net, so
it is always 1
tests of uml_net_private.have_mac can be removed
uml_net_private.have_mac can now be removed
the only call to dev_ip_addr was removed, so it can be deleted
It also turns out that setup_etheraddr is called only once, from the same
file, so it can be static and its declaration removed from net_kern.h.
Similarly, set_ether_mac is defined and called only from one file.
Finally, setup_etheraddr and set_ether_mac were moved to avoid needing forward
declarations.

Assign a random MAC to an ethernet interface if one was not provided on the
command line. This became pressing when distros started bringing interfaces
up before assigning IPs to them. The previous pattern of assigning an IP then
bringing it up allowed the MAC to be generated from the first IP assigned.
However, once the thing is up, it's probably a bad idea to change the MAC, so
the MAC stayed initialized to fe:fd:0:0:0:0.
Now, if there is no MAC from the command line, one is generated. We use the
microseconds from gettimeofday (20 bits), plus the low 12 bits of the pid to
seed the random number generator. random() is called twice, with 16 bits of
each result used. I didn't want to have to try to fill in 32 bits optimally
given an arbitrary RAND_MAX, so I just assume that it is greater than 65536
and use 16 bits of each random() return.
There is also a bit of reformatting and whitespace cleanup here.

Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid
static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
{
return logical_apicid >> 5;
}
is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.
The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register

is used. That results in slightly better code.

The clocksource infrastructure introduced with commit
ad596171ed635c51a9eef829187af100cbf8dcf7 broke 31 bit s390.
The reason is that the do_div() primitive for 31 bit always
had a restriction: it could only divide an unsigned 64 bit
integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code
now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most
significant bit set. The result is that clock->cycle_interval
has a funny value which causes the linux time to jump around
like mad.
The solution is "obvious": implement a proper __div64_32
function for 31 bit s390.
