In general it is not safe to do any non-ptrace wakeup of a thread in TASK_TRACED, because the waking thread could race with a ptrace call that could be doing things like mucking directly with its kernel stack. AFAIK noone has established that whatever clobberation ptrace can do to a running thread is safe even if it will never return to user mode, so we can't allow this even for SIGKILL. What we _can_ safely do is make a thread switching out of TASK_TRACED resume rather than sitting in TASK_STOPPED if it has a pending SIGKILL or SIGCONT. The following patch does this. This should be sufficient for the shutdown case. When killing all processes, if the tracer gets killed first, the tracee goes into TASK_STOPPED and will be woken and killed by the SIGKILL (same as before). If the tracee gets killed first, it gets a pending SIGKILL and doesn't wake up immediately--but, now, when the tracer gets killed, the tracee will then wake up to die. This will also fix the (same) situations that can arise now where you have used gdb (or whatever ptrace caller), killed -9 the gdb and the process being debugged, but still have to kill -CONT the process before it goes away (now it should just go away either the first time or when you kill gdb).

My latest 8250 patch prevented registration of "empty" ports (ports that have a 0 iobase in the static table). Unfortunately, some archs seem to rely on this, and so broke. This patch reverts that part of the patch. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for the Maple 970FX Eval Board. It adds the basic arch support. For the Maple to be fully functional, it needs a couple more patches to be applied for IDE and Ethernet that are currently pending with the respective maintainers of those subsystems. Signed-off-by:

The iommu_free_table() patch broke g5 only build by adding back some incestuous relationship between generic code and pSeries code. This wraps this in #ifdef as a quick fix until the original author of the patch comes up with a better solution. Signed-off-by:

On machines using the "ISU" mecanism for the MPIC, the new driver didn't properly calculate the new interrupt count when an ISU was added. That would cause later on failure to request interrupts in the offending range. Signed-off-by:

The ppc64 PCI code, when parsing the OF tree, may end up getting empty regions in addition to the "normal" ones for the PHB (some pSeries OF device-tree contains weird "ranges" properties). These are harmless but do trigger some annoying warnings during boot, so let's ignore them. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a couple of places where the ppc64 iSeries code would #include <stddef.h>. The only "system" include I consider acceptable is <stdarg.h> provided by gcc. Signed-off-by:

This improves the config space access routines on G5, by adding a generic helper function to locate the pci_controller structure (to be used by an upcoming new platform too) and cleaning up the pmac routines. It includes the fix to skip devices that aren't present in the OF tree that is necessary for newer G5 desktop models. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds proper __iomem annotations to the remaning IO macros on ppc64, and removes now useless casts from eeh.h. This fixes the sparse warnings in mpic.c among others. I need to do an equivalent things for ppc32 (though I think viro did some of it already) and fix users. Signed-off-by:

hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() fails to find an unmapped area while unmapped area is huge. That's because hugetlb_get_unmapped_area just searches forward from mm->free_area_cache. If reaching TASK_SIZE, it does not go back to TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE, just returns -ENOMEM. 1) Add a specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area on i386. 2) Generic hugetlb_get_unmapped_area is also fixed.

On some platforms (e.g. SGI Challenge, Origin, and Altix machines), writes to I/O space aren't ordered coming from different CPUs. For the most part, this isn't a problem since drivers generally spinlock around code that does writeX calls, but if the last operation a driver does before it releases a lock is a write and some other CPU takes the lock and immediately does a write, it's possible the second CPU's write could arrive before the first's. This patch adds a mmiowb() call to deal with this sort of situation, and adds some documentation describing I/O ordering issues to deviceiobook.tmpl. The idea is to mirror the regular, cacheable memory barrier operation, wmb. Example of the problem this new macro solves: CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) CPU A: ... CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr); CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) ... CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr); CPU B: ... CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) In this case, newval2 could be written to ring_ptr before newval. Fixing it is easy though: CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) CPU A: ... CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr); CPU A: mmiowb(); /* ensure no other writes beat us to the device */ CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) ... CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags) CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr); CPU B: ... CPU B: mmiowb(); CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags) Note that this doesn't address a related case where the driver may want to actually make a given write get to the device before proceeding. This should be dealt with by immediately reading a register from the card that has no side effects. According to the PCI spec, that will guarantee that all writes have arrived before being sent to the target bus. If no such register is available (in the case of card resets perhaps), reading from config space is sufficient (though it may return all ones if the card isn't responding to read cycles). I've tried to describe how mmiowb() differs from PCI posted write flushing in the patch to deviceiobook.tmpl. Signed-off-by:Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by:

idr_remove() should fail gracefully and warn if the id being removed is not valid. The attached patch should do the job without additional overhead. With the existing code, removing an id which was not allocated could remove a valid id which shares the same lowest layer of the radix tree. I ran a kernel with this patch but have not done any tests to force a failure. Signed-off-by:

This is needed for an mmtimer driver update that we are currently working on. The mmtimer driver provides CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE via clock_gettime and clock_settime. With this api fix one will be able to use timer_create, timer_settime and friends from userspace to schedule and receive signals via timer interrupts of mmtimer. Changelog * Clean up timer api for drivers that use register_posix_clock. Drivers will then be able to use posix timers to schedule interrupts. * Change API for posix_clocks[].timer_create to only pass one pointer to a k_itimer structure that is now allocated and managed by the posix layer in the same way as for the other posix timer functions. * Isolate a posix_timer_event(timr) function in posix-timers.c that may be called by the interrupt routine of a timer to signal that the scheduled event has taken place.
