Move initrd if the bitmap of the bootmem allocator would overwrite it. In addition this patch sets the default size and address of the initrd to 0. Therefore all boot loaders must set the initrd size and address correctly. This is especially relevant for ftp boot via HMC/SE, where this change requires a special patch file entry in the .ins file which sets these two values contained at address 0x10408 and 0x10410.

Allow the user space to send extended cprb messages directly to the PCIXCC / CEX2C cards.

The user space interface of the zcrypt device driver implements the old user space interface as defined by the old z90crypt driver. Everything is there, the /dev/z90crypt misc character device, all the lovely ioctls and the /proc file. Even writing to the z90crypt proc file to configure the crypto device still works. It stands to reason to remove the proc write function someday since a much cleaner configuration via the sysfs is now available. The ap bus device drivers register crypto cards to the zcrypt user space interface. The request router of the user space interface picks one of the registered cards based on the predicted latency for the request and calls the driver via a callback found in the zcrypt_ops of the device. The request router only knows which operations the card can do and the minimum / maximum number of bits a request can have.

Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ (see poll_thread parameter). The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes, ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between two ap bus scans to find new devices. The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are: 3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

This reverts commits 11012d41 and 40dd2d20, which allowed us to use the MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked reserved in the e820 memory tables. Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old 2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage. Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

while porting the -rt tree to 2.6.18-rc7 i noticed the following screaming-IRQ scenario on an SMP system: 2274 0Dn.:1 0.001ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.010ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.020ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.029ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.039ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.048ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.058ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.068ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.077ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.087ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) 2274 0Dn.:1 0.097ms: do_IRQ+0xc/0x103 <= (ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf) as it turns out, the bug is caused by handle_level_irq(), which if it races with another CPU already handling this IRQ, it _unmasks_ the IRQ line on the way out. This is not how 2.6.17 works, and we introduced this bug in one of the early genirq cleanups right before it went into -mm. (the bug was not in the genirq patchset for a long time, and we didnt notice the bug due to the lack of -rt rebase to the new genirq code. -rt, and hardirq-preemption in particular opens up such races much wider than anything else.)

If the user tries to traverse to the next node of the last node, we get NULL in current_node and a zero phandle returned. That's fine, but if the user tries to obtain properties in that state, we try to dereference a NULL pointer in the downcall to the of_*() routines. So protect against that. Signed-off-by: David S.

This turns out to be a genuine bug. The queue lock and xmit lock are intentionally taken out of order. Two things are supposed to prevent dead-locks from occuring: 1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the tx_lock. 2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing anything else. > > the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: > > -> #1 (&dev->_xmit_lock){-+..}: > [<c012e7b6>] lock_acquire+0x76/0xa0 > [<c0336241>] _spin_lock_bh+0x31/0x40 > [<c02d25a9>] dev_activate+0x69/0x120 This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA dead-locks. I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up. The lock appeared in day one and even there it was unnecessary. In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up precisely in order to get around the tx lock there. The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since its only caller dev_activate is always called under it. So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up. In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and replace it with dev_watchdog_up. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
