Patch from Nicolas Pitre Either no one is using an ARM710 with recent kernels, or all ARM710s still in use are not afflicted by this swi bug. Nevertheless, the code to work around the ARM710 swi bug is itself currently buggy since it uses r8 as a pointer to S_PC while in fact it holds the spsr content these days. Fix that, and simplify the code as well. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

We were not doing alignment properly when remapping the kernel image. What we want is a 4MB aligned physical address to map at KERNBASE. Mistakedly we were 4MB aligning the virtual address where the kernel initially sits, that's wrong. Instead, we should PAGE align the virtual address, then 4MB align the physical address result the prom gives to us. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Nir Tzachar <tzachar@cs.bgu.ac.il> points out that if an ELF file specifies a zero-length bss at a whacky address, we cannot load that binary because padzero() tries to zero out the end of the page at the whacky address, and that may not be writeable. See also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5411 So teach load_elf_binary() to skip the bss settng altogether if the elf file has a zero-length bss segment.

I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in __dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong. The incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running fsck depending on the size of the partition. The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a negative number if size is offset > size. The problem with the nr_segs caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g. it returns 1 when size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.

Revert this recent correctness change: Douglas Crosher <dcrosher@scieneer.com> reported that it broke an existing application, and that madvise() works without error on anonymous mappings on Solaris. This means that madvise() will remain non-standards-compliant: we should return -EBADF for all requests against non-file-backed vma's, but Linux only does this for MADV_WILLNEED requests.

Here is a compatibility fix between Linux and Solaris when used with VxFS filesystems: Solaris usually accepts acl entries in any order, but with VxFS it replies with NFSERR_INVAL when it sees a four-entry acl that is not in canonical form. It may also fail with other non-canonical acls -- I can't tell, because that case never triggers: We only send non-canonical acls when we fake up an ACL_MASK entry. Instead of adding fake ACL_MASK entries at the end, inserting them in the correct position makes Solaris+VxFS happy. The Linux client and server sides don't care about entry order. The three-entry-acl special case in which we need a fake ACL_MASK entry was handled in xdr_nfsace_encode. The patch moves this into nfsacl_encode.

v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write use kmalloc to allocate buffers as big as the data buffer received as parameter. kmalloc cannot be used to allocate buffers bigger than 128K, so reading/writing data in chunks bigger than 128k fails. This patch reorganizes v9fs_file_read and v9fs_file_write to allocate only buffers as big as the maximum data that can be sent in one 9P message.

In the current dell_rbu code ver 2.0 the packet update mechanism makes the user app dump every individual packet in to the driver. This adds in efficiency as every packet update makes the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading and data files to disappear and reappear again. Thus the user app needs to wait for the files to reappear to dump another packet. This slows down the packet update tremendously in case of large number of packets. I am submitting a new patch for dell_rbu which will change the way we do packet updates; In the new method the user app will create a new single file which has already packetized the rbu image and all the packets are now staged in this file. This driver also creates a new entry in /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size ; the user needs to echo the packet size here before downloading the packet file. The user should do the following: create one single file which has all the packets stacked together. echo the packet size in to /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/packet_size. echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading cat the packetfile > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading The driver takes the file which came through /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/data and takes chunks of paket_size data from it and place in contiguous memory. This makes packet update process very efficient and fast. As all the packet update happens in one single operation. The user can still read back the downloaded file from /sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/data.

pSeries_irq_bus_setup is marked __devinit but references s7a_workaround which is marked __initdata. Depending on who got the memory for s7a_workaround (and if the value was now positive), it was possible for PCI hotplugged devices to have 3 subtracted from their interrupt number. This would happen randomly and caused me much confusion :) Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Breakage noted by Al Viro. It breaks non-PCI builds, it's probably better to have a more direct implementation on sparc32, and which driver actually needs this is still questionable. We can resolve this in 2.6.15 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Harald Welte authored
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid afterwards. In fact, there are three separate issues: 1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device. 2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct, task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile. 3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed, and we can no longer send it a signal. So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

On the boot processor, we need to do the move onto the Linux trap table a little bit differently else we'll take unhandlable faults in the firmware address space. Previously we would do the following: 1) Disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate. 2) Set %tba by hand to sparc64_ttable_tl0 3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global trap registers. 4) Call prom_set_traptable() That doesn't work very well actually with the way we boot the kernel VM these days. It worked by luck on many systems because the firmware accesses for the prom_set_traptable() call happened to be loaded into the TLB already, something we cannot assume. So the new scheme is this: 1) Clear PSTATE_IE in %pstate and set %pil to 15 2) Call prom_set_traptable() 3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global trap registers. and this works quite well. This sequence has been moved into a callable function in assembler named setup-trap_table(). The idea is that eventually trampoline.S can use this code as well. That isn't possible currently due to some complications, but eventually we should be able to do it. Thanks to Meelis Roos for the Ultra5 boot failure report. Signed-off-by: David S.

This fixes the setup of the alignment of the signal frame, so that all signal handlers are run with a properly aligned stack frame. The current code "over-aligns" the stack pointer so that the stack frame is effectively always mis-aligned by 4 bytes. But what we really want is that on function entry ((sp + 4) & 15) == 0, which matches what would happen if the stack were aligned before a "call" instruction. Signed-off-by: Markus F.X.J.

The logic in ide_do_request() doesn't guarantee that both drives will be serviced after a call. It may "forget" to service one in some circumstances, including when one of the drive is suspended (it will eventually fail to service the slave when the master is suspended for example). This prevents the wakeup requests that gets queued on wakeup from sleep from beeing serviced in some cases when 2 drives are sharing an IDE bus. The problem is deep enough in the way this code works (and there are probably a few other problematic but rare corner cases) and fixing it would require some major rethinking of the way IDE decides which channel to service. This is not 2.6.14 material. However, in the meantime, Bart has accepted this simple workaround that will fix the crash on wakeup from sleep since this specific corner case is actually hitting users to get into 2.6.14.
