This patch exports to userspace the boot loader ID which has been exported by (b)zImage boot loaders since boot protocol version 2. It is needed so that update tools that update kernels from vendors know which bootloader file they need to update; eg right now those tools do all kinds of hairy heuristics to find out if it's grub or lilo or .. that installed the kernel. Those heuristics are fragile in the presence of more than one bootloader (which isn't that uncommon in OS upgrade situations). Tested on i386 and x86-64; as far as I know those are the only architectures which use zImage/bzImage format. Signed-Off-By:

This patch adds some i386 boot loader IDs that were used but never officially recorded as assigned. This makes them nice and official. Signed-Off-By:

This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus not coming up over a reboot. This problem was seen when a kernel compiled for non default (16MB) location is booted. Signed-off-by:

Booting with NX, CONFIG_X86_PAE and CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or mem=nopentium triple faults really early during boot as it appears to be tripping over pages from PAGE_OFFSET -> PAGE_OFFSET + 0x100000 not being marked as executable. Signed-off-by:

This patch is for the following bug, thanks to Ondrej Zary for reporting, testing and submitting a patch. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3767 It appears that the Cyrix MII won't touch %ecx at all resulting in stale data being returned as extended attributes, so clear ecx before issuing the cpuid. I have also made the capability print code display all the capability words for easier debugging in future. Signed-off-by:

The setup.S data and code is not cleanly separated. The current space reserved for setup header is not enough to fit the complete header. As a result, part of the header (EDDBUF) will overwrite the initial code. I haven't seen any negative impact of this bug. As, by the time the setup code is overwritten, we would have finished executing it anyway. But, I think it is better to separate the header and code and prevent this data_overwriting_the_code condition. The atatched patch adds some space in the header to fit all the data listed in Documentation/i386/zero-page.txt for both i386 and x86_64 (and updates zero-page.txt). Signed-off-by:

Badari hit a problem when configuring PAE off (ie CONFIG_4G) where the pkmap area could end up overlapping the fixmap area. For some reason, PKMAP_BASE was defined statically, which seems rather pointless, and asking for trouble. Patch below definines it dynamically, under the fixmap area. The ordering of the VMALLOC_RESERVE space is: FIXADDR_TOP fixed_addresses FIXADDR_START temp fixed addresses FIXADDR_BOOT_START Persistent kmap area PKMAP_BASE VMALLOC_END Vmalloc area VMALLOC_START high_memory Signed-off-by:

The attached patch fixes the IDE driver to initialise correctly in the case that IDE_ARCH_OBSOLETE_INIT is not defined. Not defining this macro would seem to be the correct thing to do since it includes the word "obsolete" in its name. Signed-Off-By:

Currently the ppc64 sysfs code registers an entry for each possible cpu in sysfs, rather than just online cpus. That makes sense, since the sysfs entries are needed to control onlining of the cpus. However, this is done even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, or if it is not a hotplug capable (DLPAR) machine, which is a bit misleading. Secondly it also registers all the other sysfs entries (mostly performance monitoring controls) on all possible cpus, although they are quite meaningless on non-online cpus. This patch alters the code to only register sysfs directories at boot for cpus which are either online or could be onlined (cpu is possible, and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and an lpar machine). Furthermore, the entries apart from 'online' itself and 'physical_id' are only registered for online CPUs (and deregistered again if a cpu goes offline).

Kprobes (Kernel dynamic probes) is a lightweight mechanism for kernel modules to insert probes into a running kernel, without the need to modify the underlying source. The probe handlers can then be coded to log relevent data at the probe point. More information on kprobes can be found at: http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/linux/projects/kprobes/ Jprobes (or jumper probes) is a small infrastructure to access function arguments. It can be used by defining a small stub with the same template as the routine in kernel, within which the required parameters can be logged. Signed-off-by:

Documentation/powerpc/cpu_features.txt mysteriously disappeared sometime when 2.5 forked off. Searching through BK logs on linux.bkbits.net didn't reveal anything, unfortunately. The only reference I could pick up from searching the available lkml archives is the 2.4.20-pre11 ChangeLog where this was first merged. Thus far, nothing indicates it was intentionally removed, and AFAICS, is still up to date with the current code. Signed-off-by:

We'd like to get a uImage when just using 'make' on many targets. After some discussion, it made sense to simply add uImage to the default targets since it adds minimal build overhead and will work on all platforms. Also, fix a dependency in the boot stuff. Signed-off-by:

Add a debugging interface for PowerPC that allows signal handlers (or any jump to a context, really) to perform debug functions. It allows the a user program to turn on single-stepping, for instance, and the thread will get a trap after executing the next instruction. It can also (on supported PPC processors) turn on branch tracing and get a trap after the next branch instruction is executed. This is useful for in-application debugging. Note that you can enable single-stepping on x86 processors directly from signal handlers. Newer x86 processors have the equivalent of a branch-trace bit in the IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR and could have similar function to this syscall. Most other processors could benefit from a similar interface, except for ARM which is extraordinarily broken for debugging. Future uses of this could be adding the ability to set the hardware breakpoint registers from a signal handler. Signed-off-by:

Here's a patch that fixes a pretty serious bug introduced by a recent "bugfix". The problem is that RST packets are ignored if they follow an ACK packet, this means that the timeout of the connection isn't decreased, so we get lots of old connections lingering around until the timeout expires, the default timeout for state ESTABLISHED is 5 days. This needs to go into -bk as soon as possible. The bug is present in 2.6.10 as well. Signed-off-by:

Several places use ip_ct_selective_cleanup() as a general iterator, which it was not intended for (it takes a const ip_conntrack *). So rename it, and make it take a non-const argument. Also, it missed unconfirmed connections, which aren't in the hash table. This introduces a potential problem for users which expect to iterate all connections (such as the helper deletion code). So keep a linked list of unconfirmed connections as well. Signed-off-by:
