Moved common FPU exception handling code out of head.S so it can be used by several of the sub-architectures that might of a full PowerPC FPU. Also, uses new CONFIG_PPC_FPU define to fix alignment exception handling for floating point load/store instructions to only occur if we have a hardware FPU.

Some G3 CPUs can crash in funny way if a store from an FPU register instruction is executed on a register that has never been initialized since power on. This patch fixes it by making sure all FP registers have been properly initialized at kernel boot and when waking from sleep. It also makes the code that decides wether HID0_BTIC and HID0_DPM are allowed on a given CPU smarter (it can actually _clear_ them now if they are not allowed instead of just setting them when they are allowed in case the firmware got them wrong) Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch provides finer grained permissions for the audit family of Netlink sockets under SELinux. 1. We need a way to differentiate between privileged and unprivileged reads of kernel data maintained by the audit subsystem. The AUDIT_GET operation is unprivileged: it returns the current status of the audit subsystem (e.g. whether it's enabled etc.). The AUDIT_LIST operation however returns a list of the current audit ruleset, which is considered privileged by the audit folk. To deal with this, a new SELinux permission has been implemented and applied to the operation: nlmsg_readpriv, which can be allocated to appropriately privileged domains. Unprivileged domains would only be allocated nlmsg_read. 2. There is a requirement for certain domains to generate audit events from userspace. These events need to be collected by the kernel, collated and transmitted sequentially back to the audit daemon. An example is user level login, an auditable event under CAPP, where login-related domains generate AUDIT_USER messages via PAM which are relayed back to auditd via the kernel. To prevent handing out nlmsg_write permissions to such domains, a new permission has been added, nlmsg_relay, which is intended for this type of purpose: data is passed via the kernel back to userspace but no privileged information is written to the kernel. Also, AUDIT_LOGIN messages are now valid only for kernel->user messaging, so this value has been removed from the SELinux nlmsgtab (which is only used to check user->kernel messages).

In rare situations, drop_buffers() can be called for a page which has buffers, but no ->mapping (it was truncated, but the buffers were left behind because ext3 was still fiddling with them).

The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab allocator: kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node); kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node); in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions: kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags); kmalloc(size, flags); kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor rearrangements). The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages, cache_grow) are already node aware. Also __alloc_percpu can call kmalloc_node now.

This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers. It's shown in /proc/vmstat. Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere. So, if there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages. And it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages. So, it's meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Mempool is pretty clever. Looks too clever for its own good :) It shouldn't really know so much about page reclaim internals. - don't guess about what effective page reclaim might involve. - don't randomly flush out all dirty data if some unlikely thing happens (alloc returns NULL). page reclaim can (sort of :P) handle it. I think the main motivation is trying to avoid pool->lock at all costs. However the first allocation is attempted with __GFP_WAIT cleared, so it will be 'can_try_harder' if it hits the page allocator. So if allocation still fails, then we can probably afford to hit the pool->lock - and what's the alternative? Try page reclaim and hit zone->lru_lock? A nice upshot is that we don't need to do any fancy memory barriers or do (intentionally) racy access to pool-> fields outside the lock.

Mempools have 2 problems. The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool. The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves instead of going to their reserved pools. Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in mempool_alloc. Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

Jack Steiner reported this to have fixed his problem (bad colouring): "The patches fix both problems that I found - bad coloring & excessive pages in pagesets." In most workloads this is not likely to be such a pronounced problem, however it should help corner cases. And avoiding powers of 2 in these types of memory operations is always a good idea.

It needs to be replaced by a to be written "fault_in_pages_readable_iovec()". - It increments @buf even in the iovec case thus @buf can point to random memory really quickly (in the iovec case) and then it calls fault_in_pages_readable() on this random memory.

Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few complaints, so instead a new target i added: kernel_install. kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target. The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux, kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user. kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does a full kernel compile before performing the install. In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the dependency on vmlinux for the install target so peoples scripts are no longer broken.

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame. Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits, which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below 4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs. This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The IXDP2800 is an evalution platform for the IXP2800 processor that has two IXP2800s connected to the same PCI bus. This is problematic as both CPUs will try to configure the PCI bus as they boot linux. Contrary to on the other IXP2000 platforms, the boot loader on the IXDP2800 doesn't configure the PCI bus properly, so we do want the linux instance on one of the CPUs to do that. Making one of the CPUs ignore the PCI bus (and thus act like a pure PCI slave device) is not an option because there is a 82559 NIC on the PCI bus for each of the CPUs. The chosen solution is to have the master CPU configure the PCI bus while the slave is kept in a quiescent state, and then to have the slave CPU scan the PCI bus (without assigning resources) while the master is kept in a quiescent state. After this ritual, the master deletes the slave NIC from its PCI device list, the slave deletes the master NIC from its device list, and (almost) all is well. There's still one little problem: each of the CPUs has a 1G SDRAM BAR, but the IXP2000 only has 512M of outbound PCI memory window. We solve this by hand-assigning the master and slave SDRAM BARs to a location outside each of the IXP's outbound PCI windows, and by having the rest of the BARs autoconfigured in the outbound PCI windows, in the range [e0000000..ffffffff], so that there is a 1:1 pci:phys mapping between them. Even with this patch, a number of issues still remain -- just imagine what happens if one of the CPUs is rebooted, by watchdog or by hand, but the other one isn't. But those issues are not easily fixable given the strange PCI layout of this board and the behavior of the boot loader shipped with the platform.
