This is platform code update for ES7000: disables IRQ overrides for the recent ES7000 (Rascal/Zorro), cleans up the compile warning. The patch only affects the ES7000 subarch. Signed-off-by: <Natalie.Protasevich@unisys.com> Acked-by:

The code that prints the cache size assumes that L3 always lives in chipset and is shared across CPUs. Which is not really true. I think all the cachesizes reported by cpuid are in the processor itself. The attached patch changes the code to reflect that. Signed-off-by:

This was reported because someone was getting oopses reading /proc/iomem. It was tracked down to a zero-sized 'struct resource' entry which was located right at 4GB. You need two conditions to hit this bug: a BIOS E820_RAM area starting at exactly the boundary where you specify mem= (to get a zero-sized entry), and for the legacy_init_iomem_resources() loop to skip that resource (which only happens at exactly 4G). I think the killing zero-sized e820 entry is the easiest way to fix this. Signed-off-by:

Hopefully fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5235 Similar problem has been reported before here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/def4ca19dbc3cd4/5cffbf349f2c87a4?tvc=2&q=Aleksey+Gorelov&hl=en#5cffbf349f2c87a4 and was related to bug in BIOS reporting 82C686 router compatible to 586. I suspect BIOS on this board has similar issue: reports VT8235 router to be compatible with 586 one - which is obviously not true. Patch from the link above has already incorporated in both 2.6 & 2.4 series, but might not work in this particular case. Signed-off-by:

Make P6 MCA initialization code complaint with guidelines in IA-32 SDM Vol3. Bank 0 control register should not be set by OS and clear status registers on all banks on reset. This will prevent false MCE alarms on the systems that has some non-MCE information left-over in MC0_STATUS on reboot. Signed-off-by:

The per-CPU initialization code is copying in bogus data into thread->tls_array. Note that it copies &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu), not &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu)[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN). That is totally broken and unnecessary. Make the initialization explicitly NULL. Signed-off-by:

The patch allows physical bring-up of new processors (not initially present in the configuration) from facilities such as driver/utility implemented on a platform. The actual method of making processors available is up to the platform implementation. Signed-off-by:

Initial internal version of Venki's cpuid(4) deterministic cache parameter identification patch used static arrays of size MAX_CACHE_LEAVES. Final patch which made to the base used dynamic array allocation, with this MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit hunk still in place. cpuid(4) already has a mechanism to find out the number of cache levels implemented and there is no need for this hardcoded MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit. So remove the MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit from the routine which calculates the number of cache levels using cpuid(4) Signed-off-by:

This adjusts i386's cmpxchg patterns so that - for word and long cmpxchg-es the compiler can utilize all possible registers - cmpxchg8b gets disabled when the minimum specified hardware architectur doesn't support it (like was already happening for the byte, word, and long ones). Signed-off-by:

I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with nearly nanosecond accuracy. Fix the x86_64 architecture too. Cc: george anzinger <george@mvista.com> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by:

security/selinux/hooks.c: In function `selinux_inode_getxattr': security/selinux/hooks.c:2193: warning: unused variable `sbsec' Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by:

James Morris authored
This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after the fs level getxattr() function. The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem. In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk. The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call, so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with the kernel value. We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems (i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the kernel value to the user. Signed-off-by:

Add CONFIG_X86_32 for i386. This allows selecting options that only apply to 32-bit systems. (X86 && !X86_64) becomes X86_32 (X86 || X86_64) becomes X86 Signed-off-by:

ata_pci_init_one() receives an array of struct ata_port_info. Recent updates to the code had always obtained port information from array element 0, rather than array element N. Change to avoid hardcoding port_info[0], thereby restoring proper hardware information to secondary legacy ports.

The second argument to ata_qc_complete() was being used for two purposes: communicate the ATA Status register to the completion function, and indicate an error. On legacy PCI IDE hardware, the latter is often implicit in the former. On more modern hardware, the driver often completely emulated a Status register value, passing ATA_ERR as an indication that something went wrong. Now that previous code changes have eliminated the need to use drv_stat arg to communicate the ATA Status register value, we can convert it to a mask of possible error classes. This will lead to more flexible error handling in the future.

In 'mm' change the explicit use of a for-loop using NR_CPUS into the general for_each_cpu() constructs. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

Policy contextualization is only useful for task based policies and not for vma based policies. It may be useful to define allowed nodes that are not accessible from this thread because other threads may have access to these nodes. Without this patch strange memory policy situations may cause an application to fail with out of memory. Example: Let's say we have two threads A and B that share the same address space and a huge array computational array X. Thread A is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 0 and 1 and thread B is restricted by its cpuset to nodes 2 and 3. Thread A now wants to restrict allocations to the first node and thus applies a BIND policy on X to node 0 and 2. The cpuset limits this to node 0. Thus pages for X must be allocated on node 0 now. Thread B now touches a page that has never been used in X and faults in a page. According to the BIND policy of the vma for X the page must be allocated on page 0. However, the cpuset of B does not allow allocation on 0 and 1. Now the application fails in alloc_pages with out of memory. Signed-off-by:

- Do a separation between do_xxx and sys_xxx functions. sys_xxx functions take variable sized bitmaps from user space as arguments. do_xxx functions take fixed sized nodemask_t as arguments and may be used from inside the kernel. Doing so simplifies the initialization code. There is no fs = kernel_ds assumption anymore. - Split up get_nodes into get_nodes (which gets the node list) and contextualize_policy which restricts the nodes to those accessible to the task and updates cpusets. - Add comments explaining limitations of bind policy Signed-off-by:

This basically keeps up from having to extern __kmalloc_section_memmap(). The vaddr_in_vmalloc_area() helper could go in a vmalloc header, but that header gets hard to work with, because it needs some arch-specific macros. Just stick it in here for now, instead of creating another header. Signed-off-by:

This adds generic memory add/remove and supporting functions for memory hotplug into a new file as well as a memory hotplug kernel config option. Individual architecture patches will follow. For now, disable memory hotplug when swsusp is enabled. There's a lot of churn there right now. We'll fix it up properly once it calms down. Signed-off-by:
