The SGI IOC3 and IOC4 PCI devices implement memory space apertures, not I/O space apertures. Use the appropriate region management functions. Signed-off-by:

Extend usr/gen_init_cpio.c "file" entry, adding support for hard links. Previous format: file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid> New format: file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid> [<hard links>] The hard links specification is optional, keeping the previous behaviour. All hard links are defined sequentially in the resulting cpio and the file data is present only in the last link. This is the behaviour of GNU's cpio and is supported by the kernel initramfs extractor. Signed-off-by:

Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected. This saves another 4 kbytes on most platfoms (some reserve PAGE_SIZE for initramfs). Signed-off-by:

The file init/initramfs.c is always compiled and linked in the kernel vmlinux even when BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INITRD are disabled and the system isn't using any form of an initramfs or initrd. In this situation the code is only used to unpack a (static) default initial rootfilesystem. The current init/initramfs.c code. usr/initramfs_data.o compiles to a size of ~15 kbytes. Disabling BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INTRD shrinks the kernel code size with ~60 Kbytes. This patch avoids compiling in the code and data for initramfs support if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not defined. Instead of the initramfs code and data it uses a small routine in init/noinitramfs.c to setup an initial static default environment for mounting a rootfilesystem later on in the kernel initialisation process. The new code is: 164 bytes of size. The patch is separated in two parts: 1) doesn't compile initramfs code when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set 2) changing all plaforms vmlinux.lds.S files to not reserve an area of PAGE_SIZE when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set.

currently it's 1) if *oldlenp == 0, don't writeback anything 2) if *oldlenp >= table->maxlen, don't writeback more than table->maxlen bytes and rewrite *oldlenp don't look at underlying type granularity 3) if 0 < *oldlenp < table->maxlen, *cough* string sysctls don't writeback more than *oldlenp bytes. OK, that's because sizeof(char) == 1 int sysctls writeback anything in (0, table->maxlen] range Though accept integers divisible by sizeof(int) for writing. sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies don't writeback anything but sizeof(int), which violates 1) and 2). So, make sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies accept a) *oldlenp == 0, not doing writeback b) *oldlenp >= sizeof(int), writing one integer. -EINVAL still returned for *oldlenp == 1, 2, 3.

This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing. With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by:

Add retain_initrd option to control freeing of initrd memory after extraction. By default, free memory as previously. The first boot will need to hold a copy of the in memory fs for the second boot. This image can be large (much larger than the kernel), hence we can save time when the memory loader is slow. Also, it reduces the memory footprint while extracting the first boot since you don't need another copy of the fs. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64. PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is hooked up and implemented. This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas slightly to take a task_struct to modify. Previously, it always operated on current. Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the code that implements that. It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so the same code can be used. Signed-off-by:

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context switch. The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the register file. arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process when it runs again. Signed-off-by:

The startup code panics a lot if anything goes wrong early on. This is wrong for several reasons, like the kernel isn't running, so you can't really be calling into it yet, but the harm comes from useful error messages being trapped in the printk ring where no one will ever see them. This patch changes these panics to perror and printf in wrappers which also exit. Normal, informational, prints are also wrapped so that fflush(stdout) is called after each one. This is so the output appears in the correct sequence in the event of an error. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Dike authored
Replace global queue and lock with per-device queues and locks. Mostly a straightforward replacement of ubd_io_lock with dev->lock and ubd_queue with dev->queue. Complications - There was no way to get a request struct (and queue) from the structure sent to the io_thread, so a pointer to the request was added. This is needed in ubd_handler in order to kick do_ubd_request to process another request. Queue initialization is moved from ubd_init to ubd_add. Signed-off-by:
