Fix issues with the NeoMagic framebuffer driver. It nicely complements my previous fix already in linus' tree. The only thing missing now is that the external CRT will not be activated at neofb init when external-only is selected, either by register read or module/kernel parameter. Testing was done on a Dell Latitude CPi-A/NM2200 chip. Previous behaviour: - before booting linux, set the preferred display config X via FN+F8 - boot linux, neofb stores the register values in a private variable - change the display config to Y via keystroke - leave the machine in peace until display is blanked - touching any key will result in display config X being restored - booting up, the BIOS will acknowledge config Y, though... Current behaviour: At the time of unblanking, config Y is honoured because we now read back register contents instead of just overwriting them with outdated values.

Make the FRV arch use virtual interrupt disablement because accesses to the processor status register (PSR) are relatively slow and because we will soon have the need to deal with multiple interrupt controls at the same time (separate h/w and inter-core interrupts). The way this is done is to dedicate one of the four integer condition code registers (ICC2) to maintaining a virtual interrupt disablement state whilst inside the kernel. This uses the ICC2.Z flag (Zero) to indicate whether the interrupts are virtually disabled and the ICC2.C flag (Carry) to indicate whether the interrupts are physically disabled. ICC2.Z is set to indicate interrupts are virtually disabled. ICC2.C is set to indicate interrupts are physically enabled. Under normal running conditions Z==0 and C==1. Disabling interrupts with local_irq_disable() doesn't then actually physically disable interrupts - it merely sets ICC2.Z to 1. Should an interrupt then happen, the exception prologue will note ICC2.Z is set and branch out of line using one instruction (an unlikely BEQ). Here it will physically disable interrupts and clear ICC2.C. When it comes time to enable interrupts (local_irq_enable()), this simply clears the ICC2.Z flag and invokes a trap #2 if both Z and C flags are clear (the HI integer condition). This can be done with the TIHI conditional trap instruction. The trap then physically reenables interrupts and sets ICC2.C again. Upon returning the interrupt will be taken as interrupts will then be enabled. Note that whilst processing the trap, the whole exceptions system is disabled, and so an interrupt can't happen till it returns. If no pending interrupt had happened, ICC2.C would still be set, the HI condition would not be fulfilled, and no trap will happen. Saving interrupts (local_irq_save) is simply a matter of pulling the ICC2.Z flag out of the CCR register, shifting it down and masking it off. This gives a result of 0 if interrupts were enabled and 1 if they weren't. Restoring interrupts (local_irq_restore) is then a matter of taking the saved value mentioned previously and XOR'ing it against 1. If it was one, the result will be zero, and if it was zero the result will be non-zero. This result is then used to affect the ICC2.Z flag directly (it is a condition code flag after all). An XOR instruction does not affect the Carry flag, and so that bit of state is unchanged. The two flags can then be sampled to see if they're both zero using the trap (TIHI) as for the unconditional reenablement (local_irq_enable). This patch also: (1) Modifies the debugging stub (break.S) to handle single-stepping crossing into the trap #2 handler and into virtually disabled interrupts. (2) Removes superseded fixup pointers from the second instructions in the trap tables (there's no a separate fixup table for this). (3) Declares the trap #3 vector for use in .org directives in the trap table. (4) Moves irq_enter() and irq_exit() in do_IRQ() to avoid problems with virtual interrupt handling, and removes the duplicate code that has now been folded into irq_exit() (softirq and preemption handling). (5) Tells the compiler in the arch Makefile that ICC2 is now reserved. (6) Documents the in-kernel ABI, including the virtual interrupts. (7) Renames the old irq management functions to different names. Signed-off-by:David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Make various alterations and fixes to the FRV arch: (1) Resyncs the FRV system call collection with the i386 arch. (2) Discards __iounmap() as it's not used. (3) Fixes the use of the SWAP/SWAPI instruction to get the arguments the right way around in atomic.h, and also to get the asm constraints correct. (4) Moves copy_to/from_user_page() to asm/cacheflush.h to be consistent with other archs. Signed-off-by: -

Revert commit d7102e95: [PATCH] sched: filter affine wakeups Apparently caused more than 10% performance regression for aim7 benchmark. The setup in use is 16-cpu HP rx8620, 64Gb of memory and 12 MSA1000s with 144 disks. Each disk is 72Gb with a single ext3 filesystem (courtesy of HP, who supplied benchmark results). The problem is, for aim7, the wake-up pattern is random, but it still needs load balancing action in the wake-up path to achieve best performance. With the above commit, lack of load balancing hurts that workload. However, for workloads like database transaction processing, the requirement is exactly opposite. In the wake up path, best performance is achieved with absolutely zero load balancing. We simply wake up the process on the CPU that it was previously run. Worst performance is obtained when we do load balancing at wake up. There isn't an easy way to auto detect the workload characteristics. Ingo's earlier patch that detects idle CPU and decide whether to load balance or not doesn't perform with aim7 either since all CPUs are busy (it causes even bigger perf. regression). Revert commit d7102e95, which causes more than 10% performance regression with aim7. Signed-off-by:

Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into this page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting the realtime/security benefits of mlock. In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into user pages all the time. This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these pages. Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks by cutting large areas out of consideration. Signed-off-by:

If 2 threads attached to the same process are blocking on different locks on different files (maybe even on different servers) but have the same lock arguments (i.e. same offset+length - actually quite common, since most processes try to lock the entire file) then the first GRANTED call that wakes one up will also wake the other. Currently when the NLM_GRANTED callback comes in, lockd walks the list of blocked locks in search of a match to the lock that the NLM server has granted. Although it checks the lock pid, start and end, it fails to check the filehandle and the server address. By checking the filehandle and server IP address, we ensure that this only happens if the locks truly are referencing the same file. Signed-off-by:

When the _CRS for a single HPET contains multiple EXTENDED_IRQ resources, we overwrote hdp->hd_nirqs every time we found one. So the driver worked when all the IRQs were described in a single EXTENDED_IRQ resource, but failed when multiple resources were used. (Strictly speaking, I think the latter is actually more correct, but both styles have been used.) Someday we should remove all the ACPI stuff from hpet.c and use PNP driver registration instead. But currently PNP_MAX_IRQ is 2, and HPETs often have more IRQs. Hint, hint, Adam :-) Signed-off-by:

Fix hole where tty structure can be released when reference count is non zero. Existing code can sleep without tty_sem protection between deciding to release the tty structure (setting local variables tty_closing and otty_closing) and setting TTY_CLOSING to prevent further opens. An open can occur during this interval causing release_dev() to free the tty structure while it is still referenced. This should fix bugzilla.kernel.org [Bug 6041] New: Unable to handle kernel paging request In Bug 6041, tty_open() oopes on accessing the tty structure it has successfully claimed. Bug was on SMP machine with the same tty being opened and closed by multiple processes, and DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled. Signed-off-by:

The PageCompound check before access_process_vm's set_page_dirty_lock is no longer necessary, so remove it. But leave the PageCompound checks in bio_set_pages_dirty, dio_bio_complete and nfs_free_user_pages: at least some of those were introduced as a little optimization on hugetlb pages. Signed-off-by:

Somehow I imagined that calling a NULL destructor would free a compound page rather than oopsing. No, we must supply a default destructor, __free_pages_ok using the order noted by prep_compound_page. hugetlb can still replace this as before with its own free_huge_page pointer. The case that needs this is not common: rarely does put_compound_page's put_page_testzero bring the count down to 0. But if get_user_pages is applied to some part of a compound page, without immediate release (e.g. AIO or Infiniband), then it's possible for its put_page to come after the containing vma has been unmapped and the driver done its free_pages. That's just the kind of case compound pages are supposed to be guarding against (but Nick points out, nor did PageReserved handle this right). Signed-off-by:

If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound page. But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g. Infiniband's __ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space. And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse. For example, not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap. Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead. And to free up the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from index to lru.prev. Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this. (akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]() caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

From Richard Sandiford <richard@codesourcery.com>: This patch caused a miscompilation of the restore_gp_regs() block in restore_sigcontext(). This was in a 32-bit kernel compiled with GCC CVS head. restore_gp_regs() copies 64-bit user fields into 32-bit variables, and in this combination, the new __get_user_asm_ll32() clobbers too many registers. It says: /* * Get a long long 64 using 32 bit registers. */ { \ __asm__ __volatile__( \ "1: lw %1, (%3) \n" \ "2: lw %D1, 4(%3) \n" \ " move %0, $0 \n" \ "3: .section .fixup,\"ax\" \n" \ "4: li %0, %4 \n" \ " move %1, $0 \n" \ " move %D1, $0 \n" \ " j 3b \n" \ " .previous \n" \ " .section __ex_table,\"a\" \n" \ " " __UA_ADDR " 1b, 4b \n" \ " " __UA_ADDR " 2b, 4b \n" \ " .previous \n" \ : "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (val) \ : "0" (0), "r" (addr), "i" (-EFAULT)); \ } and this requires val (%1) to be a 64-bit value. In the case I saw, gcc was using $3 for the 32-bit val, and wasn't expecting $4 to be clobbered. Signed-off-by: -
