      [PATCH] USB: gadget cleanup of #ifdefs · 4166c817
      David Brownell authored
      > can you get rid of all of the #ifdef HAVE_DRIVER_MODEL stuff?
      
      Done.  Now this code "knows" it's running in a 2.5
      environment, and needs modifications to run on 2.4.
      
      I also changed the file modes in the module_parm()
      calls so the parameters will be writable when they
      eventually show up in sysfs; and fixed a typo.
      
      Compile-tested with and without DEBUG enabled.

      [PATCH] kbuild/kbuild for USB Gadgets (6/6) · 02d57f34
      David Brownell authored
      This patch adds kconfig/kbuild support for the preceding
      code, so that an EXPERIMENTAL option appears in the
      USB part of the config menus.
      
      Once a USB device controller driver is configured (which
      just now means net2280, but sa11x0 and pxa25x options
      are just waiting for updates!), gadget driver options
      are also available.

      [PATCH] USB Gadget string utility (5/6) · 477feaf5
      David Brownell authored
      This adds utility code that gadget drivers can use to manage
      string descriptors (drivers/usb/gadget/usbstring.c) in the
      common case that the ISO-8859/1 character set is in use.
      
      Both "Gadget Zero" and the Ethernet gadget code use this.

      [PATCH] USB Ethernet Gadget (4/6) · 194709e1
      David Brownell authored
      This patch adds an "Ethernet Gadget" driver, implementing
      the CDC Ethernet model (drivers/usb/gadget/ether.c).
      
      It interops with the current CDC Ether drivers on Linux,
      both 2.4 (CDCEther, using Marcelo's latest) and 2.5
      (cdc-ether with recent patches, or on 2.5.68 "usbnet")
      
      On a net2280, this has successfully streamed dozens of
      megabytes per second using "ttcp" (high speed, and using
      "usbnet" on the host side), for days at a time.  And no
      problems using SSH/NFS/etc in lighter duty testing.
      
      It's possible this will need tweaking to cope with UDC
      bugs on Intel's pxa25x controllers, presenting itself
      as a non-CDC device. (I'm told altsettings are even
      more broken than originally specified to be.)

      [PATCH] USB "Gadget Zero" driver (3/6) · 34501b82
      David Brownell authored
      This patch adds "Gadget Zero" (drivers/usb/gadget/zero.c).
      
      Gadget Zero is a simple gadget driver that's useful for
      testing controller drivers, and as an example to be used
      for clone/modify style development.
      
      This driver implements two configurations, and needs only
      two bulk endpoints (in addition to ep0) ... so pretty much
      any USB device controller should be usable with it in
      one configuration or another.  It (optionally) supports
      high speed devices, and has passed the USB-IF "chapter 9"
      device model conformance tests.
      
      It's worth noticing the kinds of hardware differences that
      gadget drivers need to cope with.  Endpoints differ, in
      ways that must be reflected various ways in descriptors.
      And sometimes chip errata cause interoperability problems;
      for example, an sa1100 can't change configurations after
      enumerating.

      [PATCH] Net2280 driver (2/6) · 4ff981ae
      David Brownell authored
      This patch creates drivers/usb/gadget/net2280.[hc],
      providing a driver for NetChip's "Net2280 PCI USB 2.0
      High Speed Peripheral Controller".
      
      It implements the API included in the first patch.
      
      The driver has behaved well with chiprev 0100 under
      stress tests with Gadget Zero and the ethernet model
      driver, and has passed sanity tests for chiprev 0110.

      [PATCH] Change LSM hooks in setxattr · 667b93eb
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      This patch against 2.5.69 adds a security_inode_post_setxattr hook so that
      security modules can update the inode security structure after a successful
      setxattr, and it moves the existing security_inode_setxattr hook call after
      the taking the inode semaphore so that atomicity is provided for the
      security check and the update to the inode security structure.

      [PATCH] ext2 xattr handler for security modules · 16685211
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      This patch against 2.5.68 implements an xattr handler for ext2 to support the
      use of extended attributes by security modules for storing file security
      labels.  As per the earlier discussion of extended attributes for security
      modules, this handler uses a "security." prefix and allows for per-module
      attribute names.  Security checking on userspace access to these attributes
      can be performed by the security module using the LSM hooks in fs/xattr.c,
      and the security module is free to internally use the inode operations
      without restriction for managing its security labels.  Unlike the trusted
      namespace, these labels are used internally for access control purposes by
      the security module, and controls over userspace access to them require finer
      granularity than capable() supports.

      [PATCH] Move security_d_instantiate hook calls · 3558ebfc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      This patch moves the security_d_instantiate hook calls in d_instantiate and
      d_splice_alias after the inode has been attached to the dentry.  This
      change is necessary so that security modules can internally call the
      getxattr inode operation (which takes a dentry parameter) from this hook to
      obtain the inode security label.

      [PATCH] select() speedup · 57a54189
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
      
      Originally by David Mosberger, testing by Roger Luethi.  From the ia64 tree.
      
      Basically, it avoids going to memory all the time.  What this does is make
      life a lot easier for gcc, so it can actually do a decent amount of
      optimization.  The restructuring clearly is less important for out-of-order
      CPUs, but even there it gives some benefits.
      
      More specifically, the loop is now structured to operate one "unsigned long"
      at a time, rather than one bit at a time.  Of course, you still need to
      process all the bits, but most of the relevant state in the inner loop can be
      kept in registers.
      
      Roger Luethi measured the routine on a bunch of different machines (mostly
      x86, IIRC: P5, P6, Crusoe, Athlons) and performance improved there, too (and
      it should definitely improve performance on any RISC-like architecture).
      
      
      Roger's benchmarking results (vs number of fd's):

      [PATCH] slab: additional debug checks · 09f95761
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
      
      below is the promised patch for better slab debugging, against 2.5.68-mm4:
      
      Changes:
      
      - enable redzoning and last user accounting even for large objects, if
        that doesn't waste too much memory
      
      - document why FORCED_DEBUG doesn't enable redzoning&last user accounting
        for some caches.
      
      - check the validity of the bufctl chains in a slab in __free_blocks.
        This detects double-free error for the caches without redzoning.

      [PATCH] account for slab reclaim in try_to_free_pages() · f31fd780
      Andrew Morton authored
      try_to_free_pages() currently fails to notice that it successfully freed slab
      pages via shrink_slab().  So it can keep looping and eventually call
      out_of_memory(), even though there's a lot of memory now free.
      
      And even if it doesn't do that, it can free too much memory.
      
      The patch changes try_to_free_pages() so that it will notice freed slab pages
      and will return when enough memory has been freed via shrink_slab().
      
      Many options were considered, but must of them were unacceptably inaccurate,
      intrusive or sleazy.  I ended up putting the accounting into a stack-local
      structure which is pointed to by current->reclaim_state.
      
      One reason for this is that we can cleanly resurrect the current->local_pages
      pool by putting it into struct reclaim_state.
      
      (current->local_pages was removed because the per-cpu page pools in the page
      allocator largely duplicate its function.  But it is still possible for
      interrupt-time allocations to steal just-freed pages, so we might want to put
      it back some time.)

      [PATCH] remove unnecessary PAE pgd set · 9a4c2568

      From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>, Bill Irwin
      
      With PAE on, there are only 4 PGD entries.  The kernel ones never change,

      this was causing problems with the split pmd patches, but it is still
      correct for mainline.
      
      Tested with and without PAE.  I ran it in a loop turning on and off 10 swap
      partitions, which is what excited the original bug.

      [PATCH] access_ok() race fix for 80386. · 7c0aceca
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
      
      Real 80386 cpus ignore the write protected bit in the page tables when
      running in supervisory mode.  Thus the write protected bit must be checked by
      software.  The current implementation does that check during access_ok().
      This can result in data corruptions, if kswapd starts a swap-out between the
      access_ok and the actual write operation.
      
      To fix this, the patch moves the check from access_ok() into
      __copy_to_user_ll(), and redirects all user space writes into
      __copy_to_user_ll().  The patch only affects kernels build for 80386 cpus.
      Additionally, the patch removes the dead prototypes for __put_user_{1,2,4,8}.
      
      Due to the uninlining of access_ok, the .text segment is now ~ 8 kB shorter.

      [PATCH] remove partition_name() · 65faa449
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      partition_name() is a variant of __bdevname() that caches results and
      returns a pointrer to kmalloc()ed data instead of printing into a buffer.
      Due to it's caching it gets utterly confused when the name for a dev_t
      changes (can happen easily now with device mapper and probably in the
      future with dynamic dev_t users).
      
      It's only used by the raid code and most calls are through a wrapper,
      bdev_partition_name() which takes a struct block_device * that maybe be
      NULL.
      
      The patch below changes the bdev_partition_name() to call bdevname() if
      possible and the other calls where we really have nothing more than a dev_t
      to __bdevname.
      
      Btw, it would be nice if someone who knows the md code a bit better than me
      could remove bdev_partition_name() in favour of direct calls to bdevname()
      where possible - that would also get rid of the returns pointer to string
      on stack issue that this patch can't fix yet.

      [PATCH] devfs: API changes · bd1f184d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      Some people may already have noticed that I've been revamping the devfs API
      recently.  The worst offender still left is devfs_register, it's prototype
      is:
      
      	 devfs_handle_t devfs_register(devfs_handle_t dir,
      		const char *name, unsigned int flags,
      		unsigned int major, unsigned int minor,
      		umode_t mode, void *ops, void *info)
      
      Of these:
      
       - dir and flags are always zero
       - the return value is never used
       - info is only used in one driver which doesn't even need it for
         operation
       - umode_t always describes a character device
       - name very often comes from a stack buffer we sprintf'ed into
      
      so obviously we really want a much simpler API instead.  My first draft for
      this was:
      
      	int devfs_mk_cdev(dev_t dev, umode_t mode,
      		struct file_operations *fops, void *info,
      		const char *fmt, ...)
      
      this removes the unused argumens, switches to a proper dev_t for the device
      number and allows to directly use a printf-like expression as name, getting
      rid of the temporary buffers.
      
      Now Al has reappeared and put the first steps of his CIDR for charater device
      on public ftp and we'll soon have a similar lookup object + fops mechanism in
      generic code as we already habe for blockdevices, i.e.  the devfs code to
      assign fops from an entry will become superflous as generic code already does
      it.  That means the fops and info arguments are obsolete before they were
      introduced, so I'd like to propose the following API instead:
      
      	int devfs_mk_cdev(dev_t dev, umode_t mode, const char *fmt, ...)
      
      which is much nicer anyway.  The educated reader will notice that this is
      exactly the same prototype devfs_mk_bdev has so I'll probably get suggestions
      to merge those two into some kind of devfs_mk_node soon.  Personally I don't
      like that as character and blockdevices are two really separate entinities
      and I'll like to keep them as separate as possible.
      
      Example patch that introduces the API and converts drivers/input attached.
      
      Every driver which calls devfs_mk_cdev (about 50) needs conversion.  Note
      that the transition can happen in pieces - devfs_register continues to work
      after this patch, it's just the plan to get rid of it in the end.

      [PATCH] Don't use devfs names in disk_name() · 2e493e2a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      disk_name() (and hence bdevname()) are now returning devfs-style device names
      when devfs is enabled.
      
      This is nice, but these names are very long, and they overflow the 32-char
      buffers which these functions use.
      
      The choices are:
      
      a) Use a bigger buffer (increase BDEVNAME_SIZE).
      
         This might be practical.  But how big?
      
      b) return the name in kmalloced memory, make caller free it up.   Yuk.
      
      c) Add a print_bdevname() thing and intersperse that amongst the printk's.
         This would work.
      
      d) Just print the non-devfs device name.   That's what this patch does.

      [PATCH] keyboard.c Fix CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ+PrintScreen · 741698b7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Chris Heath <chris@heathens.co.nz>
      
      This patch fixes the PrintScreen key when CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is enabled.  It
      allows you to use that key normally when Alt is not being pressed.  Patch is
      against kernel 2.5.68.

      [PATCH] sysrq-S, sysrq-U cleanups · b7bd1dee
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      Change sysrq sync/remount from a magic bdflush hook to proper pdflush
      operations.  The sync operation reuses most of the regular sys_sync path now
      instead of implementing it's own superblock walking and (broken) local disk
      detection, the remount implementation has been moved to super.c, cleaned up
      and updated for the last two years locking changes.  It also shares some code
      with the regular remount path now.

      [PATCH] slab: initialisation cleanup and oops fix · 862fb282
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
      
      attached is the promised cleanup/bugfix patch for the slab bootstrap:
      
      - kmem_cache_init & kmem_cache_sizes_init merged into one function,
        called after mem_init().  It's impossible to bring slab to an operational
        state without working gfp, thus the early partial initialization is not
        necessary.
      
      - g_cpucache_up set to FULL at the end of kmem_cache_init instead of the
        module init call.  This is a bugfix: slab was completely initialized,
        just the update of the state was missing.
      
      - some documentation for the bootstrap added.
      
      The minimal fix for the bug is a two-liner: move g_cpucache_up=FULL from
      cpucache_init to kmem_cache_sizes_init, but I want to get rid of
      kmem_cache_sizes_init, too.

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
      
      This driver was bogusly relying on the dropping of the __exit section at link
      time.  cpia_exit() is calling proc_cpia_destroy(), which doesn't even exist
      if !CONFIG_MODULE.

      [PATCH] Fix .altinstructions linking failures · 00b31e9a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
      
      Some configs didn't link anymore because they got references from
      .altinstructions to __exit functions.  Fixing it at the linker level is not
      easily possible.  This patch just discards .text.exit at runtime instead of
      link time to avoid this.
      
      It will also fix a related problem with .eh_frame in modern gcc (so far only
      observed on x86-64, but could happen on i386 too)

      [PATCH] generic subarchitecture for ia32 · 441d6fd9
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
      
      This patch adds an generic x86 subarchitecture. It is intended to provide
      an dynamic interface for APIC drivers. There are already three subarchitectures
      (bigsmp, summit, default) that only differ in how they drive the local APIC.
      A fourth - Unisys ES7000 - is scheduled to be merged soon.
      
      The subarchitecture concept separated this nicely, but it has the big
      drawback that they are compile time options. A Linux vendor cannot
      ship own binary kernel rpms for all of these machines. Runtime probing
      is needed instead.
      
      This patch adds a new "generic" subarchitecture that just acts as a
      dynamic switching layer for APIC drivers. It only tries to virtualize
      the APICs, no attempt is made to cover further incompatiblities.
      This means machines like the Visual Workstation, pc9800 or
      Voyager are not covered; but these are unlikely to be supported by
      binary distributions anyways.
      
      The generic arch reuses the existing interface in mach_ipi / mach_mpparse.h /
      mach_apic.h and just pulls it using some macros into an "struct genapic"
      object. The main APIC code does not recognize it, it is all hidden
      in the mach-generic include files.
      
      Auto detection of APIC types is supported in the usual way used by
      existing ports like Summit - checking ACPI or mptables for specific
      signatures - or it can be specified by the user using a new "apic="
      boot option. I also moved the DMI scan to before the generic
      subarchitecture probe, so DMI could be used in future too to probe
      specific machines.
      
      Some minor hacks were needed to avoid circular declaration of a few
      symbols, but overall it's fairly clean.
      
      The patch has been tested on a Summit machine, an generic 4 virtual CPUs
      Xeon and on an ES7000.
