On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where param_set/get are local functions.

Commit d3d74453 ("hrtimer: fixup the HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm sending this for merger. I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel. That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested. The deadlock in question was found by Russell: IRQ handle -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write -> update_process_times() -> run_local_timers() -> hrtimer_run_queues() -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be removed from under it.

Linus Torvalds authored
The raw_pci_read() interface (as the raw_pci_ops->read() before it) unconditionally fills in a 32-bit integer return value regardless of the size of the operation requested. So claiming to take a "void *" is wrong, as is passing in a pointer to just a byte variable. Noticed by pageexec when enabling -fstack-protector (which needs other patches too to actually work, but that's a separate issue).

Huang, Ying authored
This patch enhances EFI runtime code memory mapping as following: - Move __supported_pte_mask & _PAGE_NX checking before invoking runtime_code_page_mkexec(). This makes it possible for compiler to eliminate runtime_code_page_mkexec() on machine without NX support. - Use set_memory_x/nx in early_mapping_set_exec(). This eliminates the duplicated implementation. This patch has been tested on Intel x86_64 platform with EFI64/32 firmware.

Andi Kleen pointed out that the cache attribute logic is reverse in efi_enter_virtual_mode(). This problem alone is harmless as we do not (yet) do cache attribute conflict resolution. (This bug was not present in the original EFI submission - I introduced it while fixing up rejects.) While reviewing this code I noticed a second, worse problem: the use of uninitialized md->virt_addr. Fix both problems.

At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[]. Therefore, readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than assuming swapper_pg_dir[].

Jakub Jelinek reported that some user-space code that relies on kernel headers has built dependency on the sigcontext->eip/rip register names - which have been unified in commit: commit 742fa54a Author: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Date: Wed Jan 30 13:30:56 2008 +0100 x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontext so give the old layout to user-space. This is not particularly pretty, but it's an ABI so there's no danger of the two definitions getting out of sync.

Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled. Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway. If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group. This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are: - second prio array for boosted tasks - boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
