2008-02-09Fix FRV cmpxchg_localMathieu Desnoyers3-84/+83
Fix the FRV cmpxchg_local by breaking the following header dependency loop : linux/kernel.h -> linux/bitops.h -> asm-frv/bitops.h -> asm-frv/atomic.h -> asm-frv/system.h -> asm-generic/cmpxchg_local.h -> typecheck() defined in linux/kernel.h and linux/kernel.h -> linux/bitops.h -> asm-frv/bitops.h -> asm-frv/atomic.h -> asm-generic/cmpxchg_local.h -> typecheck() defined in linux/kernel.h In order to fix this : - Move the atomic_test_and_ *_mask inlines from asm-frv/atomic.h (why are they there at all anyway ? They are not touching atomic_t variables!) to asm-frv/bitops.h. Also fix a build issue with cmpxchg : it does not cast to (unsigned long *) like other architectures, to deal with it in the cmpxchg_local macro. FRV builds fine with this patch.

2008-02-09IB/mlx4: Use multiple WQ blocks to post smaller send WQEsJack Morgenstein2-0/+9
ConnectX HCA supports shrinking WQEs, so that a single work request can be made of multiple units of wqe_shift. This way, WRs can differ in size, and do not have to be a power of 2 in size, saving memory and speeding up send WR posting. Unfortunately, if we do this then the wqe_index field in CQEs can't be used to look up the WR ID anymore, so our implementation does this only if selective signaling is off. Further, on 32-bit platforms, we can't use vmap() to make the QP buffer virtually contigious. Thus we have to use constant-sized WRs to make sure a WR is always fully within a single page-sized chunk. Finally, we use WRs with the NOP opcode to avoid wrapping around the queue buffer in the middle of posting a WR, and we set the NoErrorCompletion bit to avoid getting completions with error for NOP WRs. However, NEC is only supported starting with firmware 2.2.232, so we use constant-sized WRs for older firmware. And, since MLX QPs only support SEND, we use constant-sized WRs in this case. When stamping during NOP posting, do stamping following setting of the NOP WQE valid bit. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2008-02-08[IA64] Synchronize kernel RSE to user-space and backPetr Tesarik2-0/+9
This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review. when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.

2008-02-08uml: runtime host VMSPLIT detectionJeff Dike2-3/+5
Calculate TASK_SIZE at run-time by figuring out the host's VMSPLIT - this is needed on i386 if UML is to run on hosts with varying VMSPLITs without recompilation. TASK_SIZE is now defined in terms of a variable, task_size. This gets rid of an include of pgtable.h from processor.h, which can cause include loops. On i386, task_size is calculated early in boot by probing the address space in a binary search to figure out where the boundary between usable and non-usable memory is. This tries to make sure that a page that is considered to be in userspace is, or can be made, read-write. I'm concerned about a system-global VDSO page in kernel memory being hit and considered to be a userspace page. On x86_64, task_size is just the old value of CONFIG_TOP_ADDR. A bunch of config variable are gone now. CONFIG_TOP_ADDR is directly replaced by TASK_SIZE. NEST_LEVEL is gone since the relocation of the stubs makes it irrelevant. All the HOST_VMSPLIT stuff is gone. All references to these in arch/um/Makefile are also gone. I noticed and fixed a missing extern in os.h when adding os_get_task_size. Note: This has been revised to fix the 32-bit UML on 64-bit host bug that Miklos ran into.

2008-02-08CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky43-93/+265
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

2008-02-08IRQ_NOPROBE helper functionsRalf Baechle1-0/+3
Probing non-ISA interrupts using the handle_percpu_irq as their handle_irq method may crash the system because handle_percpu_irq does not check IRQ_WAITING. This for example hits the MIPS Qemu configuration. This patch provides two helper functions set_irq_noprobe and set_irq_probe to set rsp. clear the IRQ_NOPROBE flag. The only current caller is MIPS code but this really belongs into generic code. As an aside, interrupt probing these days has become a mostly obsolete if not dangerous art. I think Linux interrupts should be changed to default to non-probing but that's subject of this patch.

2008-02-08Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use themYi Yang1-0/+4
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and 1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input is acctually invalid. This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and returns an error: write error: Invalid argument Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.
