building kernel 2.6.32(pre), gives this compiler warning: /linus-linux-2.6/mm/vmalloc.c: In function 'pcpu_get_vm_areas': /linus-linux-2.6/mm/vmalloc.c:2104: warning: 'vmalloc_start' is used uninitialized in this function The reason is, that the code in mm/vmalloc defines a local variable called vmalloc_start, which is already defined as global variable in parisc's code. To avoid this kind of problems in future, I suggest to rename the parisc variable to parisc_vmalloc_start.

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the whole process of which that thread is part. Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX. The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments. Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex as argument: struct f_owner_ex { int type; pid_t pid; }; Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages. The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific meaning to it.

The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface. This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that). Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need their own definitions: included here for mmotm convenience, but we'll probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

Similar to SO_TYPE returning the socket type, SO_PROTOCOL allows to retrieve the protocol used with a given socket. I am not quite sure why we have that-many copies of socket.h, and why the values are not the same on all arches either, but for where hex numbers dominate, I use 0x1029 for SO_PROTOCOL as that seems to be the next free unused number across a bunch of operating systems, or so Google results make me want to believe.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works. Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted, we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions. The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform. We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there. We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers need the word size but cannot include types.h. The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h> that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

It'd be rather useful for debian-installer if we could get hold of accurate firmware information on whether only 32-bit kernels are supported, only 64-bit kernels, or both; this would allow us to present an accurate menu of kernel packages if more than one is available, rather than the user having to guess. This patch attempts to expose it in cpuinfo. I adjusted pdc_model_capabilities to cope with a potential PDC_INVALID_ARG return as the firmware manual instructs, by assuming 32-bit only. This may be the wrong place for it. I made up user-visible capability names by total fiat and for the moment ignored the other bits that may appear in the capabilities word. I have no PA-RISC machine myself to test on, and no PA experience either, so I rather hope that somebody will kind-heartedly take this and fix it up if needed. I ran it past Dann Frazier on IRC and he said "looks good to me", but I think without testing. Also, this is against the Ubuntu 2.6.28 kernel tree since that's what I had handy and I was a bit tight on disk space to slurp down another tree. Sorry if it's skewed in any relevant way; I'll be happy to adjust if necessary. Thanks in advance!

This patch fixes a long outstanding bug on 32bit parisc linux kernels which prevented us from using 32bit PTE table entries (instead of 64bit entries of which 32bit were unused). The problem was caused by this assembler statement in the L2_ptep macro in arch/parisc/kernel/entry.S:447: EXTR \va,31-ASM_PGDIR_SHIFT,ASM_BITS_PER_PGD,\index which expanded to extrw,u r8,9,11,r1 and which has undefined behavior since the length value (11) extends beyond the leftmost bit (11-1 > 9). Interestingly PA2.0 processors seem to don't care and just zero-extend the value, while PA1.1 processors don't. Fix this problem by detecting an address space overflow with ASM_BITS_PER_PGD and adjusting it accordingly. To prevent such problems in the future, some compile time sanity checks in arch/parisc/mm/init.c were added. Since the page table now only consumes half of it's old size, we can use the freed memory to harmonize 32- and 64bit kernels and let both map 16MB for the initial page table.

We also take the chance to change send_IPI_mask() and use the new for_each_cpu() iterator. Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
