Fix a few range checks which aren't working right because if (int < sizeof(...)) does the wrong thing if `int' is negative, due to `sizeof' returning unsigned. In addition to comparisons, the patch makes CDROMVOL* ioctl more robust. Signed-off-by:

On x86 and x86-64, setting up to run a signal handler clears the single-step bit (TF) in the processor flags before starting the handler. This makes sense when a process is handling its own SIGTRAPs. But when TF is set because PTRACE_SINGLESTEP was used, and that call specified a handled signal so the handler setup is happening, it doesn't make so much sense. When the debugger stops to show you a signal about to be delivered, and that signal should be handled, and then you do step or stepi, you expect to see the signal handler code. In fact, the signal handler runs to completion and then you see the single-step trap at the resumed code instead of seeing the handler. This patch changes signal handler setup so that when TF is set and the thread is under ptrace control, it synthesizes a single-step trap after setting up the PC and registers to start the handler. This makes that PTRACE_SINGLESTEP not strictly a "step", since it actually runs no user instructions at all. But it is definitely what a debugger user wants, so that single-stepping always stops and shows each and every instruction before it gets executed. Signed-off-by:

In 2.4, strace will show you all bogus system calls a process tries. In 2.6, it only shows you stubs < __NR_syscalls, and there is no tracing stop for large bogus system call numbers. I can't see why this was changed, so I am assuming it was accidental. This patch restores the expected behavior that syscall tracing shows every bogus syscall attempt. Signed-off-by:

After my cleanup of the rusage semantics was so quickly taken in by Andrew and Linus without comment, I wonder if I should not have tried to be so accommodating of potential objections as I was. :-) In my original posting, I solicited comment on whether introducing RUSAGE_GROUP as distinct from RUSAGE_SELF was warranted. Note that we've now changed the behavior of the times system call when using CLONE_THREAD, so changing getrusage RUSAGE_SELF to match would be consistent. I think that changing the meaning of the old RUSAGE_SELF value is preferable to introducing the new value for the proper POSIX getrusage behavior. This patch against Linus's current tree dumps RUSAGE_GROUP and makes RUSAGE_SELF have the fixed behavior. If there is interest in having a new explicit interface to sample a single thread's stats alone, then I think that would be better done by introducing a new value for RUSAGE_THREAD. This is trivial to implement, but I won't offer patches bloating the interface if noone is actually interested in using it. Signed-off-by:

This makes any ptrace operation that finds the target in TASK_STOPPED state morph it into TASK_TRACED state before doing anything. This necessitates reverting the last_siginfo accesses to check instead of assume last_siginfo is set, since it's no longer impossible to be in TASK_TRACED without being stopped in ptrace_stop (though there are no associated races to worry about).

This adds a new state TASK_TRACED that is used in place of TASK_STOPPED when a thread stops because it is ptraced. Now ptrace operations are only permitted when the target is in TASK_TRACED state, not in TASK_STOPPED. This means that if a process is stopped normally by a job control signal and then you PTRACE_ATTACH to it, you will have to send it a SIGCONT before you can do any ptrace operations on it. (The SIGCONT will be reported to ptrace and then you can discard it instead of passing it through when you call PTRACE_CONT et al.) If a traced child gets orphaned while in TASK_TRACED state, it morphs into TASK_STOPPED state. This makes it again possible to resume or destroy the process with SIGCONT or SIGKILL. All non-signal tracing stops should now be done via ptrace_notify. I've updated the syscall tracing code in several architectures to do this instead of replicating the work by hand. I also fixed several that were unnecessarily repeating some of the checks in ptrace_check_attach. Calling ptrace_check_attach alone is sufficient, and the old checks repeated before are now incorrect, not just superfluous. I've closed a race in ptrace_check_attach. With this, we should have a robust guarantee that when ptrace starts operating, the task will be in TASK_TRACED state and won't come out of it. This is because the only way to resume from TASK_TRACED is via ptrace operations, and only the one parent thread attached as the tracer can do those. This patch also cleans up the do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop code so that the dead and stopped cases are completely disjoint. The notify_parent function is gone. Signed-off-by:

Since the irq handling rework in 2.5 lots of code in the individual <asm/hardirq.h> files is the same. This patch moves that common code to <linux/hardirq.h>. The following differences existed: - alpha, m68k, m68knommu and v850 were missing the ~PREEMPT_ACTIVE masking in the CONFIG_PREEMPT case of in_atomic(). These architectures don't support CONFIG_PREEMPT else this would have been an easily-spottbale bug - S390 didn't provide synchronize_irq as it doesn't fit into their I/O model. They now get a spurious prototype/macro - ppc added a new preemptible() macro that is provided for all architectures now. Most drivers were using <linux/interrupt.h> as they should, but a few drivers and lots of architecture code has been updated to use <linux/hardirq.h> instead of <asm/hardirq.h> Signed-off-by:

This cleans up the x86-64 lost tick handling and fixes some issues: First it moves that code into an own function. The newer could would become very noisy when the machine loses timer ticks regularly. This happens often on some laptops etc. during the acpi ec access (nothing much can be really done about it) This patch prints the warnings only once. It also fixes the logic on when to ask cpufreq for a new estimate. And it implements timer fallback to HPET when there are really lots of lost ticks. This is following i386. PIT fallback isn't implemented right now though, but I hope we don't need this. Signed-off-by:

Tested on pSeries and iSeries. Some future plans for VSID allocation may mean we have to take this out again, but that's a while off yet, and in the meantime it's a significant speedup. This patch makes the PPC64 SLB miss handler run in real mode (i.e. MMU off) for it's whole duration, on pSeries machines. Avoiding the rfid used to turn relocation on saves some 70-80 cycles on Power4 and Power5. Not having to save and restore SRR0 and SRR1 saves a few more, and means we don't need an extra save slot for r3. Overall there's around a 27% speedup on Power4. Signed-off-by:

Switch the NUMA API to use compat_get_bitmap/compat_put_bitmap. In order to use compat_alloc_userspace instead of set_fs tricks, we have to do a few copies. This is what we are currently using on ppc64 but are willing to entertain the idea of going to a 32bit bitmap, especially considering how much hoops we have to go through to get it right in this patch.

Add compat sched affinity code. We can argue about how USE_COMPAT_ULONG_CPUMASK works now that the non compat interface has changed. The old non compat behaviour was to require a bitmap long enough in both setaffinity and getaffinity, now its only required in getaffinity. I could do the same for the 32bit interfaces.

This has been in the ia64 (and hence -mm) trees for a couple of months. Changelog: * Affects only architectures which define CONFIG_TIME_INTERPOLATION (currently only IA64) * Genericize time interpolation, make time interpolators easily usable and provide instructions on how to use the interpolator for other architectures. * Provide nanosecond resolution for clock_gettime and an accuracy up to the time interpolator time base. * clock_getres() reports resolution of underlying time basis which is typically <50ns and may be 1ns on some systems. * Make time interpolator self-tuning to limit time jumps and to make the interpolators work correctly on systems with broken time base specifications. * SMP scalability: Make clock_gettime and gettimeofday scale O(1) by removing the cmpxchg for most clocks (tested for up to 512 CPUs) * IA64: provide asm fastcall that doubles the performance of gettimeofday and clock_gettime on SGI and other IA64 systems (asm fastcalls scale O(1) together with the scalability fixes). * IA64: provide nojitter kernel option so that IA64 systems with correctly synchronized ITC counters may also enjoy the scalability enhancements.

hid-core calls hiddev_disconnect() when the underlying device goes away (hot unplug or system shutdown). Normally, hiddev_disconnect() will clean up nicely and return to hid-core who then frees the hid structure. However, if the corresponding hiddev node is open at disconnect time, hiddev delays the majority of disconnect work until the device is closed via hiddev_release(). hiddev_release() calls hiddev_cleanup() which proceeds to dereference the hid struct which hid-core freed back when the hardware was disconnected. Oops. To solve this, we change hiddev_disconnect() to deregister the hiddev minor and invalidate its table entry immediately and delay only the freeing of the hiddev structure itself. We're protected against future operations on the fd since the major fops check hiddev->exists. Signed-off-by:

The change on 2004-09-03 by ianw@gelato.unsw.edu.au appears to have a typo, which causes builds of configurations which define both CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM to emit some 890 warnings for redefines of each of pfn_valid, page_to_pfn, pfn_to_page. This shows up compiling sn2_defconfig, the SN2 config of arch ia64. I believe that this is a simply typo, an extra "#else" line. Removing this exta line enables sn2_defconfig to build as before.
