2008-02-24documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failureOleg Nesterov2-2/+3
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...) A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example. We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.

2008-02-24cgroup memory controller: document huge memory/cache overhead in KconfigAndi Kleen1-0/+8
Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the memory controller. At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a single cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM. At earlier review I remembered asking for a external data structure for this. It's also quite unobvious that a innocent looking Kconfig option with a single line Kconfig description has such a negative effect. This patch attempts to document these disadvantages at least so that users configuring their kernel can make a informed decision.

2008-02-24kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsingRichard Kennedy1-3/+3
When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).

2008-02-24futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionalityThomas Gleixner3-4/+44
Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.

2008-02-24uml: fix FP register corruptionJeff Dike6-0/+49
Commit ee3d9bd4de1ed93d2a7ee41c331ed30a1c7b8acd ("uml: simplify SIGSEGV handling"), while greatly simplifying the kernel SIGSEGV handler that runs in the process address space, introduced a bug which corrupts FP state in the process. Previously, the SIGSEGV handler called the sigreturn system call by hand - it couldn't return through the restorer provided to it because that could try to call the libc restorer which likely wouldn't exist in the process address space. So, it blocked off some signals, including SIGUSR1, on entry to the SIGSEGV handler, queued a SIGUSR1 to itself, and invoked sigreturn. The SIGUSR1 was delivered, and was visible to the UML kernel after sigreturn finished. The commit eliminated the signal masking and the call to sigreturn. The handler simply hits itself with a SIGTRAP to let the UML kernel know that it is finished. UML then restores the process registers, which effectively longjmps the process out of the signal handler, skipping sigreturn's restoring of register state and the signal mask. The bug is that the host apparently sets used_fp to 0 when it saves the process FP state in the sigcontext on the process signal stack. Thus, when the process is longjmped out of the handler, its FP state is corrupt because it wasn't saved on the context switch to the UML kernel. This manifested itself as sleep hanging. For some reason, sleep uses floating point in order to calculate the sleep interval. When a page fault corrupts its FP state, it is faked into essentially sleeping forever. This patch saves the FP state before entering the SIGSEGV handler and restores it afterwards.

2008-02-24spi: pxa2xx_spi clock polarity fixNed Forrester2-14/+28
Fixes a sequencing bug in spi driver pxa2xx_spi.c in which the chip select for a transfer may be asserted before the clock polarity is set on the interface. As a result of this bug, the clock signal may have the wrong polarity at transfer start, so it may need to make an extra half transition before the intended clock/data signals begin. (This probably means all transfers are one bit out of sequence.) This only occurs on the first transfer following a change in clock polarity in systems using more than one more than one such polarity. The fix assures that the clock mode is properly set before asserting chip select. This bug was introduced in a patch merged on 2006/12/10, kernel 2.6.20. The patch defines an additional bit in: include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/regs-ssp.h for 2.6.25 and newer kernels but this addition must be made in: include/asm-arm/arch-pxa/pxa-regs.h for kernels between 2.6.20 and 2.6.24, inclusive Signed-off-by: Ned Forrester <nforrester@whoi.edu> Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-02-24atmel_spi: fix clock polarityAtsushi Nemoto1-0/+10
The atmel_spi driver does not initialize clock polarity correctly (except for at91rm9200 CS0 channel) in some case. The atmel_spi driver uses gpio-controlled chipselect. OTOH spi clock signal is controlled by CSRn.CPOL bit, but this register controls clock signal correctly only in 'real transfer' duration. At the time of cs_activate() call, CSRn.CPOL will be initialized correctly, but the controller do not know which channel is to be used next, so clock signal will stay at the inactive state of last transfer. If clock polarity of new transfer and last transfer was differ, new transfer will start with wrong clock signal state. For example, if you started SPI MODE 2 or 3 transfer after SPI MODE 0 or 1 transfer, the clock signal state at the assertion of chipselect will be low. Of course this will violates SPI transfer. This patch is short term solution for this problem. It makes all CSRn.CPOL match for the transfer before activating chipselect. For longer term, the best fix might be to let NPCS0 stay selected permanently in MR and overwrite CSR0 with to the new slave's settings before asserting CS.

Note that these includes are recent addition caused by added inline function that had since then become a define. So while I agree with your comments in general, in _this_ case it's pretty safe. The commit that had done it is 3062fc67dad01b1d2a15d58c709eff946389eca4 ("memcontrol: move mm_cgroup to header file") and the switch to #define is in commit 60c12b1202a60eabb1c61317e5d2678fcea9893f ("memcontrol: add vm_match_cgroup()") (BTW, that probably warranted mentioning in the changelog of the latter).

2008-02-24hugetlb: ensure we do not reference a surplus page after handing it to buddyAndy Whitcroft1-1/+1
When we free a page via free_huge_page and we detect that we are in surplus the page will be returned to the buddy. After this we no longer own the page. However at the end free_huge_page we clear out our mapping pointer from page private. Even where the page is not a surplus we free the page to the hugepage pool, drop the pool locks and then clear page private. In either case the page may have been reallocated. BAD. Make sure we clear out page private before we free the page.
