2007-10-17core_pattern: ignore RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipeNeil Horman
For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically: 1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core, at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and restrictions. 2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it is overridden to zero when called). 3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a deadlock. This patch: Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

2007-10-17pcmcia: CompactFlash driver for PA Semi Electra boardsOlof Johansson
Driver for the CompactFlash slot on the PA Semi Electra eval board. It's a simple device sitting on localbus, with interrupts and detect/voltage control over GPIO. The driver is implemented as an of_platform driver, and adds localbus as a bus being probed by the of_platform framework.

2007-10-17Use list_head in binfmt handlingAlexey Dobriyan
Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF + something distro enabled for you).

2007-10-17powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumpsMark Nelson
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue typedef and #defines to make it work. A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

2007-10-17x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #defineMark Nelson
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be added with an appropriate #define. This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all current users so there's are no change in behaviour. This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE (signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from Freescale have.

Turns out b868868ae0f7272228c95cc760338ffe35bb739d wasn't quite right. When called for a page that isn't marked dirty it would artificially create an alias instead of doing the obvious thing and access the page via KSEG0. The same issue also exists in copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page which was causing the machine to die under rare circumstances for example when running ps if the BUG_ON() assertion added by the earlier fix was getting triggered.
