This patch fixes a problem reported by David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com> "I just noticed that fb_{read,write}() uses copy_*_user() with the kernel buffer being the frame buffer. It needs to use the proper device address accessor functions." The patch will do an intermediate copy of the contents to a page-sized, kmalloc'ed buffer.

This is an hvc_console patch which provides driver and ppc64 architecture fixes to enable the hvc_console driver to register itself as a vio device with the vio bus, provide hotplug add/remove for vty adapters, and act as an interrupt driven driver on Power-5 hardware or remain as a polling driver on Power-4 hardware. arch/ppc64/kernel/hvconsole.c ============================= - Changed hvc_get_chars() and hvc_put_chars() api to take vtermno rather than index number. - Added hvc_find_vtys() function which walks the bus looking for vterm/vty devices to callback to the hvc_console driver. This provides console output functionality prior to early console init (pre mem init and pre device probe). include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h ============================= - Changed hvc_get_chars() and hvc_put_chars() api to take vtermno rather than index number. - Added hvc_find_vtys() function. - Added hvc_instantiate() function which is implemented by a console driver wanting to receive a callback of and early console init. drivers/char/hvc_console.c ========================== - Switch khvcd from kernel_threads to kthreads which got rid of deprecated daemonize(). - Added module exit clause to be thorough (not terribly necessary with a console driver of course) - Added early discovery of vterm/vty adapters by doing a bus walk on early console init which results in hvc_instantiate() callback and addition of the vtermno into a static array of vtermnos supported as console adapters (meaning the console api's work against these vtermnos prior to full console initialization). - This driver is now registered as a vio driver which means that vty adapters are now managed via probe/remove. This means hvc_console supports hotplug vty adapters. - Driver now requests more device nodes than what was found on the initial bus walk when registered as a tty driver to make room for hotplug vty adapters. These secondary vty adapters provide a tty tunnel between partitions. - Removed static hvc_struct array and replaced with a linux list that has elements (hvc_struct instances) added/removed on probe/remove AFTER early console init. This is important because kmalloc can't be done at early console init. - Driver now either runs in interrupt driven mode or in polling mode on older hardware. The khvcd is smart enough to not 'schedule()' when there are no interrupts. - kobjects are now used for ref counting on the hvc_struct instances. - This driver puts the tty layer to sleep on hvc_close() if there are pending data writes being blocked by firmware. - Removed useless spinlocks in hvc_chars_in_buffer() and hvc_write_room.

This patch allows i386 signal delivery to work correctly when userspace is compiled with -mregparm. This is somewhat hacky: it passes the arguments *both* on the stack and in registers, but it works because there are only one or three (depending on SA_SIGINFO) official arguments. If you're relying on the unofficial arguments then you're doing something nonportable anyway and can put in the __attribute__((cdecl,regparm(0))) in the correct place. Signed-off-by:

There are a couple of places where we seem to go round the houses to get the numa node id from a page. We have a macro for this so it seems sensible to use that. Both lookup_node and enqueue_huge_page use page_zone() to locate the zone, that to locate node pgdat_t and that to get the node_id. Its more efficient to use page_to_nid() which gets the nid from the page flags, especially if we are not using the zone for anything else it. Change these to use page_to_nid(). Signed-off-by:

(Comment changes only) The bootmem allocator is initialised before the kernel virtual address space has been fully established. As a result, any allocations which are made before paging_init() has completed may point to invalid kernel addresses. This patch notes this limitation and indicates where the allocator is fully available. Signed-off-by:

I have a large archive of files stored on Amiga volumes. Many of these volumes are on Fujitsu magneto-optical disks with 2k sector size. The existing partitioning code cannot properly read them since it appears the OS automatically deblocks the large sectors into logical 512 byte sectors, something AmigaDOS never did. I arranged the partitioning code to handle this situation. Second I have some rather strange test case disks, including my largest storage partition, that have somewhat unusual partition values. As such I needed additional information in addition to the first and last block number information. AmigaDOS reserves N blocks, with N greater than or equal to 1 and less than the size of the partition, for some boot time information and signatures. I have some partitions that use other than the usual value of 2. There is one more "fix" that could be put in if someone needs it. Another value in the "Rigid Disk Blocks" description of a partition is a "PreAlloc" value. It defines a number of blocks at the end of the disk that are not considered to be a real part of the partition. This was "important" in the days of 20 meg and 40 meg hard disks. It is hardly important and not used on modern drives without special user intervention. This partitioning information is known correct. I wrote the low level portion of the hard disk partitioning code for AmigaDOS 3.5 and 3.9. I am also responsible for one of the more frequently used partitioning tools, RDPrepX, before that.

Use hlists for the PID hashes. This halves the memory footprint of these hashes. No benchmarks, but I think this is a worthy improvement because the hashes are something that would be likely to have significant portions loaded into the cache of every CPU on some workloads. This comes at the "expense" of 1. reintroducing the memory prefetch into the hash traversal loop; 2. adding new pids to the head of the list instead of the tail. I suspect that if this was a big problem then the hash isn't sized well or could benefit from moving hot entries to the head. Also, account for all the pid hashes when reporting hash memory usage.

A 4GB, 4-way Opteron would create the smallest size table (16 entries) because pidhash_init is called before mem_init which is where x86-64 sets up max_pfn. nr_kernel_pages is setup by paging_init, called from setup_arch, which is also where i386 sets up max_pfn. So export nr_kernel_pages, nr_all_pages. Use nr_kernel_pages when sizing the PID hash. This fixes the problem. This also makes the pid hash dependant on the size of ZONE_NORMAL instead of total size of memory. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes the rusage bookkeeping and the semantics of the getrusage and times calls in a couple of ways. The first change is in the c* fields counting dead child processes. POSIX requires that children that have died be counted in these fields when they are reaped by a wait* call, and that if they are never reaped (e.g. because of ignoring SIGCHLD, or exitting yourself first) then they are never counted. These were counted in release_task for all threads. I've changed it so they are counted in wait_task_zombie, i.e. exactly when being reaped. POSIX also specifies for RUSAGE_CHILDREN that the report include the reaped child processes of the calling process, i.e. whole thread group in Linux, not just ones forked by the calling thread. POSIX specifies tms_c[us]time fields in the times call the same way. I've moved the c* fields that contain this information into signal_struct, where the single set of counters accumulates data from any thread in the group that calls wait*. Finally, POSIX specifies getrusage and times as returning cumulative totals for the whole process (aka thread group), not just the calling thread. I've added fields in signal_struct to accumulate the stats of detached threads as they die. The process stats are the sums of these records plus the stats of remaining each live/zombie thread. The times and getrusage calls, and the internal uses for filling in wait4 results and siginfo_t, now iterate over the threads in the thread group and sum up their stats along with the stats recorded for threads already dead and gone. I added a new value RUSAGE_GROUP (-3) for the getrusage system call rather than changing the behavior of the old RUSAGE_SELF (0). POSIX specifies RUSAGE_SELF to mean all threads, so the glibc getrusage call will just translate it to RUSAGE_GROUP for new kernels. I did this thinking that someone somewhere might want the old behavior with an old glibc and a new kernel (it is only different if they are using CLONE_THREAD anyway). However, I've changed the times system call to conform to POSIX as well and did not provide any backward compatibility there. In that case there is nothing easy like a parameter value to use, it would have to be a new system call number. That seems pretty pointless. Given that, I wonder if it is worth bothering to preserve the compatible RUSAGE_SELF behavior by introducing RUSAGE_GROUP instead of just changing RUSAGE_SELF's meaning. Comments? I've done some basic testing on x86 and x86-64, and all the numbers come out right after these fixes. (I have a test program that shows a few Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new system call `waitid'. This is a new POSIX call that subsumes the rest of the wait* family and can do some things the older calls cannot. A minor addition is the ability to select what kinds of status to check for with a mask of independent bits, so you can wait for just stops and not terminations, for example. A more significant improvement is the WNOWAIT flag, which allows for polling child status without reaping. This interface fills in a siginfo_t with the same details that a SIGCHLD for the status change has; some of that info (e.g. si_uid) is not available via wait4 or other calls. I've added a new system call that has the parameter conventions of the POSIX function because that seems like the cleanest thing. This patch includes the actual system call table additions for i386 and x86-64; other architectures will need to assign the system call number, and 64-bit ones may need to implement 32-bit compat support for it as I did for x86-64. The new features could instead be provided by some new kludge inventions in the wait4 system call interface (that's what BSD did). If kludges are preferable to adding a system call, I can work up something different. I added a struct rusage field si_rusage to siginfo_t in the SIGCHLD case (this does not affect the size or layout of the struct). This is not part of the POSIX interface, but it makes it so that `waitid' subsumes all the functionality of `wait4'. Future kernel ABIs (new arch's or whatnot) can have only the `waitid' system call and the rest of the wait* family including wait3 and wait4 can be implemented in user space using waitid. There is nothing in user space as yet that would make use of the new field. Most of the new functionality is implemented purely in the waitid system call itself. POSIX also provides for the WCONTINUED flag to report when a child process had been stopped by job control and then resumed with SIGCONT. Corresponding to this, a SIGCHLD is now generated when a child resumes (unless SA_NOCLDSTOP is set), with the value CLD_CONTINUED in siginfo_t.si_code. To implement this, some additional bookkeeping is required in the signal code handling job control stops. The motivation for this work is to make it possible to implement the POSIX semantics of the `waitid' function in glibc completely and correctly. If changing either the system call interface used to accomplish that, or any details of the kernel implementation work, would improve the chances of getting this incorporated, I am more than happy to work through any issues.

Better. From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> I noticed that only i386 and x86-64 are currently using a high resolution timer source when adding randomness. Since many architectures have a working get_cycles() implementation, it seems rather straightforward to use that. Has this been discussed before, or can anyone comment on the implementation below? This patch attempts to take into account the size of cycles_t, which is either 32 or 64 bits wide but independent of the architecture's word size. The behavior should be nearly identical to the old one on i386, x86-64 and all architectures without a time stamp counter, while finding more entropy on the other architectures. Signed-off-by:
