Make PA-RISC use the generic interrupt handling code. We need one tiny change to the generic code -- the addition of a data pointer to irq_desc. This shouldn't be a problem in terms of increasing size of irq_desc for other architectures as the struct is cacheline aligned. It's now 32 bytes on 32-bit platforms and 44/48 bytes on 64-bit platforms (assuming spinlock_t is 4 bytes on 32-bit and 4 or 8 bytes on 64-bit). Signed-off-by:

The input layer wants to send us an entropy event per input event and who are we to argue? Create add_input_randomness with an input-friendly interface and kill the remaining two keyboard and mouse sources. This eliminates lots of duplicate entropy events while covering all the input bases nicely. We now get two events per keystroke as we should, one down and one up. Signed-off-by:

The input layer is now sending us a bunch of events in a row for each actual event. This shows up weaknesses in the periodicity detector and using the high clock rate from get_clock: each keystroke is getting accounted as 10 different maximal-entropy events. A brief touch on a trackpad will generate as much as 2000 maximal entropy events which is more than 2k of /dev/random output. IOW, we're WAY overestimating input entropy. Here's one keystroke: random 0024 0000 0000: mouse event random 0035 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0035 0000 0000: mouse event random 0046 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0046 0000 0000: mouse event random 0056 0000 0000: added 10 entropy credits to input random 0056 0000 0000: keyboard event random 0067 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0067 0000 0000: mouse event random 0078 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0078 0000 0000: awake random 0078 0000 0000: reading 128 bits random 0078 0000 0000: going to reseed blocking with 128 bits (128 of 0 requested) random 0078 0000 0000: trying to extract 128 bits from input random 0006 0000 0000: debiting 72 entropy credits from input random 0006 0072 0000: added 72 entropy credits to blocking random 0006 0072 0000: trying to extract 128 bits from blocking random 0006 0000 0000: debiting 72 entropy credits from blocking random 0006 0000 0000: read got 72 bits (56 still needed) random 0006 0000 0000: reading 56 bits random 0006 0000 0000: going to reseed blocking with 64 bits (56 of 0 requested random 0006 0000 0000: trying to extract 64 bits from input random 0006 0000 0000: debiting 0 entropy credits from input random 0006 0000 0000: trying to extract 56 bits from blocking random 0006 0000 0000: debiting 0 entropy credits from blocking random 0006 0000 0000: read got 0 bits (56 still needed) random 0006 0000 0000: sleeping random 0006 0000 0000: mouse event random 0017 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0017 0000 0000: mouse event random 0028 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0028 0000 0000: mouse event random 0038 0000 0000: added 10 entropy credits to input random 0038 0000 0000: keyboard event random 0049 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input random 0049 0000 0000: mouse event random 0060 0000 0000: added 11 entropy credits to input The first step to fixing this is to check periodicity and estimate entropy against a slow clock like jiffies. We continue to mix in get_clock() rather than jiffies where available. This throws away most of the duplicate events and gives us more sensible entropy estimates, but we still duplicates from input.c and keyboard.c. Signed-off-by:

Patch for the Marvell MultiProtocol Serial Controller (MPSC). This ctlr is on a series of host bridges (and other things) for PPC and MIPS processors. The ctlr operates similar to a typical network controller with send and receive rings. Unfortunately there are many errata so you will see some "unusual" things in the code. For example: a) An erratum prevents the reading of several registers on the ctlr (writing is okay). To work around that, a local copy of what the registers are is kept and special macros are used to access those mirrored values. b) Another erratum says that the MPSC cannot be used to access cache coherent memory (and many of the systems I use are cache coherent). However, it seems to work okay as long as there are no snoop hits so there are macros in the code to manually manage the caches to prevent snoop hits. Each macro checks a flag to see if the manual cache mgmt is necessary as not all versions have the erratum. The driver seems to work well but more testing is needed and it is lacking KGDB support. I will get to both of those in time. Signed-off-by:

Remove the now useless irq_mask and irq_list parameters from PCMCIA drivers. Users should use either the socket driver's irq_mask / irq_list parameter or use /sys/class/pcmcia_socket/pcmcia_socket%n/card_irq_mask which will be added in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by:

Dominik Brodowski authored
As its just one pin which can be used for IRQs on PCMCIA/CardBus cards, and only the _socket drivers_ care with which IRQ this pin is connected, only the socket drivers (assisted by the PCCARD core) should care about which IRQ to use. Therefore, ignore the information passed to pcmcia_request_irq() in IRQInfo2. In additional patches, all in-kernel users of IRQInfo2 will be removed; users wishing to influence the usage of IRQs can do so by modifying several driver's irq_mask parameter and/or by adding "exclude irq 3" to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. Note that a new sysfs-based interface to do so will be added in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by:

When kill is used to force a core dump, __group_complete_signal uses the group_stop_count machinery to stop other threads from doing anything more before the signal-taking thread starts the coredump synchronization. This intentionally results in group_stop_count always still being > 0 when the signal-taking thread gets into do_coredump. However, that has the unintended effect that signal_pending can return true when called from the filesystem code while writing the core dump file. For NFS mounts using the "intr" option, this results in NFS operations bailing out before they even try, so core files never get successfully dumped on such a filesystem when the crash was induced by an asynchronous process-wide signal. This patch fixes the problem by clearing group_stop_count after the coredump synchronization is complete. The locking I threw in is not directly related, but always should have been there and may avoid some potential races with kill. Signed-off-by:

Since Roland changed now to wakeup tracee with kill, I guess this needs to be fixed. http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/gnupatch@41e3fe5fIRH-W3aDnXZgfQ-qIvuXYg ptrace_setsiginfo/ptrace_getsiginfo need to do locked access to last_siginfo. ptrace_notify()/ptrace_stop() sets the current->last_siginfo and sleeps on schedule(). It can be waked up by kill signal from signal_wake_up before debugger wakes it up. On return from schedule(), the current->last_siginfo is reset. Signed-off-by:

If one thread uses ptrace on another thread in the same thread group, there can be a deadlock when calling exec. The ptrace_stop change ensures that no tracing stop can be entered for a queued signal, or exit tracing, if the tracer is part of the same dying group. The exit_notify change prevents a ptrace zombie from sticking around if its tracer is in the midst of a group exit (which an exec fakes), so these zombies don't hold up de_thread's synchronization. The de_thread change ensures the new thread group leader doesn't wind up ptracing itself, which would produce its own deadlocks. Signed-off-by:

When threads are sharing mm via CLONE_VM (linuxthreads, vfork), there is a race condition where one thread doing a core dump and synchronizing all mm-sharing threads for it can deadlock waiting for another thread that just did an exec and will never synchronize. This patch makes the exec_mmap check for a pending core dump and punt the exec to synchronize with that, as if the core dump had struck before entering the execve system call at all. Signed-off-by:

In the oddball situation where one thread is using ptrace on another thread sharing the same mm, and then someone sharing that mm causes a coredump, there is a deadlock possible if the traced thread is in TASK_TRACED state. It leaves all the threads sharing that mm wedged and permanently unkillable. This patch checks for that situation and brings a thread out of TASK_TRACED if its tracer is part of the same coredump (i.e. shares the same mm). It's not pretty, but it does the job. Signed-off-by:

- add ->unlocked_ioctl method and a do_ioctl wrapper in ioctl.c so all places calling ->ioctl get it.
