Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@cam.ac.uk> points out: - It calls fault_in_pages_readable() which is completely bogus if @nr_segs > 1. It needs to be replaced by a to be written "fault_in_pages_readable_iovec()". - It increments @buf even in the iovec case thus @buf can point to random memory really quickly (in the iovec case) and then it calls fault_in_pages_readable() on this random memory.

Move definition of NOSTDINC_FLAGS below inclusion of arch Makefile, so any arch specific settings to $(CC) takes effect before looking up the compiler include directory. The previous solution that replaced ':=' with '=' caused gcc to be invoked one additional time for each directory visited. This decreases kernel compile time with 0.1 second (3.6 -> 3.5 seconds) when running make on a fully built kernel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few complaints, so instead a new target i added: kernel_install. kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target. The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux, kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user. kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does a full kernel compile before performing the install. In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the dependency on vmlinux for the install target so peoples scripts are no longer broken.

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame. Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits, which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below 4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs. This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

Patch from Sascha Hauer This patch adds UCFR_RFDIV setting into i.MX serial driver. This is required, if loader does not fully agree with Linux kernel about UART setup manner. Linux only blindly expected some values until now. This should enable to use even serial ports not recognized by boot-loader as for example third UART found in the bluethoot module. Patch also enables to detect original setup baudrate in more cases. Signed-off-by: Pavel Pisa Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The IXDP2800 is an evalution platform for the IXP2800 processor that has two IXP2800s connected to the same PCI bus. This is problematic as both CPUs will try to configure the PCI bus as they boot linux. Contrary to on the other IXP2000 platforms, the boot loader on the IXDP2800 doesn't configure the PCI bus properly, so we do want the linux instance on one of the CPUs to do that. Making one of the CPUs ignore the PCI bus (and thus act like a pure PCI slave device) is not an option because there is a 82559 NIC on the PCI bus for each of the CPUs. The chosen solution is to have the master CPU configure the PCI bus while the slave is kept in a quiescent state, and then to have the slave CPU scan the PCI bus (without assigning resources) while the master is kept in a quiescent state. After this ritual, the master deletes the slave NIC from its PCI device list, the slave deletes the master NIC from its device list, and (almost) all is well. There's still one little problem: each of the CPUs has a 1G SDRAM BAR, but the IXP2000 only has 512M of outbound PCI memory window. We solve this by hand-assigning the master and slave SDRAM BARs to a location outside each of the IXP's outbound PCI windows, and by having the rest of the BARs autoconfigured in the outbound PCI windows, in the range [e0000000..ffffffff], so that there is a 1:1 pci:phys mapping between them. Even with this patch, a number of issues still remain -- just imagine what happens if one of the CPUs is rebooted, by watchdog or by hand, but the other one isn't. But those issues are not easily fixable given the strange PCI layout of this board and the behavior of the boot loader shipped with the platform.

Patch from George G. Davis This patch is required for kernel XIP support on ARMv6 machines. It ensures that the access permission bits for kernel XIP section descriptors are APX=1 and AP[1:0]=01, which is Kernel read-only/User no access permissions. Prior to this change, kernel XIP section descriptor access permissions were set to Kernel no access/User no access on ARMv6 machines and the kernel would therefore hang upon entry to userspace when set_fs(USER_DS) was executed.

Patch from Olav Kongas On ARM, the outX() and writeX() families of macros take the result of cpu_to_leYY(), which is of restricted type __leYY, and feed it to __raw_writeX(), which expect an argument of unrestricted type. This results in 'sparse -Wbitwise' warnings about incorrect types in assignments. Analogous type mismatch warnings are issued for inX() and readX() counterparts. The below patch resolves these warnings by adding forced typecasts. Signed-off-by: Olav Kongas Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Patch from Nicolas Pitre This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM. In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty. The problematic and performance critical operations are performed through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that location anyway. This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments. And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant overhead to such minimalistic operations. The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two reasons: 1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the NPTL work is still progressing). 2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is present or not.

Patch from George G. Davis As noted in http://www.arm.com/linux/patch-2.6.9-arm1.gz, the "Faulty SWP instruction on 1136 doesn't set bit 11 in DFSR." So the v6_early_abort handler does not report the correct rd/wr direction for the SWP instruction which may result in SEGVS or hangs. In order to work around this problem, this patch merely updates the fix contained in the ARM Ltd. patch to use the macroised abort handler fixups. Signed-off-by: George G.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek Assigning the address zero to a PCI device BAR causes some part of the PCI subsystem to believe that resource allocation for that BAR failed due to resource conflicts, which will make attempts to enable the device fail. Work around this by assigning I/O addresses starting from 00010000. While we're at it, make the PCI I/O resource end at 0001ffff, since we only have 64k of outbound I/O window on the IXP2000, and we don't do bank switching.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek On the IXDP2800, the bootloader does an awful job of configuring the PCI bus, so we make linux reconfigure everything. Having a 1:1 pci:phys address mapping generally simplifies everything, so try to allocate PCI addresses from the [e0000000..ffffffff] range, which is the physical address range of the outbound PCI window on the IXP2000. This does not affect any of the other IXP2000 platforms since they all use their bootloader's PCI resource assignment.

This makes a trap on the 'iret' that returns us to user space cause a nice clean SIGSEGV, instead of just a hard (and silent) exit. That way a debugger can actually try to see what happened, and we also properly notify everybody who might be interested about us being gone. This loses the error code, but tells the debugger what happened with ILL_BADSTK in the siginfo.

In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver. I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to previous speed on resume. I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I want it to fixup the jiffies properly).
