There are only two ways to define sg_dma_len(); use sg->dma_length or sg->length. This patch introduces NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH that enables architectures to choose sg->dma_length or sg->length. Signed-off-by:

This is the first half of the attempt to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h on every architecture. There are only two ways to define scatterlist structure. So it's easy to convert every architecture to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h. This patch: The trick for ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD in asm-generic/scatterlist.h doesn't work for powerpc. This lets architectures defin ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD. Hopefully, we can remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD in the future; we can do better to decide if the bouncing is necessary or not. Signed-off-by:

This adds three new types of kernel "crashes" in the lkdtm driver to trigger hardlockups, softlockups and task hung states at will. The first two are useful to test the new generic lockup detector and check its further regressions. The latter one is a bonus to check the hung task detector regressions even though it's not currently in rework. Signed-off-by:

radix_tree_prev_hole() used LONG_MAX to detect underflow; however, ULONG_MAX is clearly what was intended, both here and by its only user (count_history_pages at mm/readahead.c). Reviewed-by:

The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to 64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb array. A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success. Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32 on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be welcome.

It was reported in http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/8/309 that 32 bit readv and writev AIO operations were not functioning properly. It turns out that the code to convert the 32bit io vectors to 64 bits was never written. The results of that can be pretty bad, but in my testing, it mostly ended up in generating EFAULT as we walked off the list of I/O vectors provided. This patch set fixes the problem in my environment. are greatly appreciated. This patch: Factor out code that will be used by both compat_do_readv_writev and the compat aio submission code paths.

Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace after a panic never makes it to the console. I assume we haven't seen this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called console_verbose. There are however a lot of places we call panic directly, and they are broken. Use console_verbose like we do in the oops path to ensure a directly called panic will print a backtrace. Signed-off-by:

Use ERR_CAST(x) rather than ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)). The former makes more clear what is the purpose of the operation, which otherwise looks like a no-op. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ type T; T x; identifier f; @@ T f (...) { <+... - ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)) + x ...+> } @@ expression x; @@ - ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(x)) + ERR_CAST(x) // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline __seed() function to linux/random.h. It renames the static __random32() function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules. prandom32() is useful as a privately-seeded pseudo random number generator that can give the same result every time it is initialized. For FCoE FC-BB-6 VN2VN mode self-selected unique FC address generation, we need an pseudo-random number generator seeded with the 64-bit world-wide port name. A truly random generator or one seeded with randomness won't do because the same sequence of numbers should be generated each time we boot or the link comes up. A prandom32_seed() inline function is added to the header file. It is inlined not for speed, but so the function won't be expanded in the base kernel, but only in the module that uses it.

Cosmetic, no changes in the compiled code. Just s/NULL/SIG_DFL/ to make it more readable and grep-friendly. Note: probably SIG_IGN makes more sense, we could kill ignore_signals(). But then kernel_init() should do flush_signal_handlers() before exec(). Signed-off-by:

copy_process(pid => &init_struct_pid) doesn't do attach_pid/etc. It shouldn't, but this means that the idle threads run with the wrong pids copied from the caller's task_struct. In x86 case the caller is either kernel_init() thread or keventd. In particular, this means that after the series of cpu_up/cpu_down an idle thread (which never exits) can run with .pid pointing to nowhere. Change fork_idle() to initialize idle->pids[] correctly. We only set .pid = &init_struct_pid but do not add .node to list, INIT_TASK() does the same for the boot-cpu idle thread (swapper). Signed-off-by:

"statically initialize struct pid for swapper" commit 820e45db says: Statically initialize a struct pid for the swapper process (pid_t == 0) and attach it to init_task. This is needed so task_pid(), task_pgrp() and task_session() interfaces work on the swapper process also. OK, but: - it doesn't make sense to add init_task.pids[].node into init_struct_pid.tasks[], and in fact this just wrong. idle threads are special, they shouldn't be visible on any global list. In particular do_each_pid_task(init_struct_pid) shouldn't see swapper. This is the actual reason why kill(0, SIGKILL) from /sbin/init (which starts with 0,0 special pids) crashes the kernel. The signal sent to pgid/sid == 0 must never see idle threads, even if the previous patch fixed the crash itself. - we have other idle threads running on the non-boot CPUs, see the next patch. Change INIT_STRUCT_PID/INIT_PID_LINK to create the empty/unhashed hlist_head/hlist_node. Like any other idle thread swapper can never exit, so detach_pid()->__hlist_del() is not possible, but we could change INIT_PID_LINK() to set pprev = &next if needed. All we need is the valid swapper->pids[].pid == &init_struct_pid. Reported-by:

The trivial /sbin/init doing int main(void) { kill(0, SIGKILL) } crashes the kernel. This happens because __kill_pgrp_info(init_struct_pid) also sends SIGKILL to the swapper process which runs with the uninitialized ->thread_group. Change INIT_TASK() to initialize ->thread_group properly. Note: the real problem is that the swapper process must not be visible to signals, see the next patch. But this change is right anyway and fixes the crash. Reported-and-tested-by:Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

On a system with a substantial number of processors, the early default pid_max of 32k will not be enough. A system with 1664 CPU's, there are 25163 processes started before the login prompt. It's estimated that with 2048 CPU's we will pass the 32k limit. With 4096, we'll reach that limit very early during the boot cycle, and processes would stall waiting for an available pid. This patch increases the early maximum number of pids available, and increases the minimum number of pids that can be set during runtime. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] Signed-off-by:

Fix the maintenance access functions to farend RapidIO devices. 1. Fixed shift of the given offset, to open the maintenance window 2. Mask offset to limit access to the opened maintenance window 3. Added extended destid part to rowtear register, required for 16bit mode This method is matching maintenance transactions generation described by Freescale in the appnote AN2932. With this modification full access to a 16MB maintenance window is possible, this patch is required for IDT cps switches. For easier handling of the access routines, the access was limited to aligned memory regions. This should be no problem because all registers are 32bit wide. Signed-off-by:
