      [S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus. · 1534c382
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can
      be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That
      makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer
      to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point
      in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when
      a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some
      fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or
      continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ
      (see poll_thread parameter).
      
      The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes,
      ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains
      to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices
      to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between
      two ap bus scans to find new devices.
      
      The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload
      the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are:
      3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

      [PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix: modpost-64bit-fix.patch · e0e92632
      Hans de Goede 提交于
      There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes
      it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes
      joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in
      a non working joystick (for the average user).
      
      In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input
      aliases:
      static void do_input(char *alias,
                           kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max)
      {
              unsigned int i;
      
              for (i = min; i < max; i++)
                      if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
                              sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i);
      }
      
      On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*"
      for the second etc.
      
      However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20
      + first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first
      entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64.
      
      scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads:
                      if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
      That should be:
                      if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
      
      Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a
      64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number
      by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits
      too low.

      [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix · 0b0bf7a3
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
      dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
      ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
      dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
      whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
      new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
      to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
      producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
      to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
      dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
      linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
      ".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
      dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
      still handle.
      
      The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
      images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
      panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
      
      This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
      
      First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
       This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
      with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
      
      Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
      images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
      conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
      concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
      system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
      provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
      with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
      =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
      compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
      make any choice work fine.

      kbuild: support for %.symtypes files · 15fde675
      Andreas Gruenbacher 提交于
      Here is a patch that adds a new -T option to genksyms for generating dumps of
      the type definition that makes up the symbol version hashes. This allows to
      trace modversion changes back to what caused them. The dump format is the
      name of the type defined, followed by its definition (which is almost C):
      
        s#list_head struct list_head { s#list_head * next , * prev ; }
      
      The s#, u#, e#, and t# prefixes stand for struct, union, enum, and typedef.
      The exported symbols do not define types, and thus do not have an x# prefix:
      
        nfs4_acl_get_whotype int nfs4_acl_get_whotype ( char * , t#u32 )
      
      The symbol type defintion of a single file can be generated with:
      
        make fs/jbd/journal.symtypes
      
      If KBUILD_SYMTYPES is defined, all the *.symtypes of all object files that
      export symbols are generated.
      
      The single *.symtypes files can be combined into a single file after a kernel
      build with a script like the following:
      
      for f in $(find -name '*.symtypes' | sort); do
          f=${f#./}
          echo "/* ${f%.symtypes}.o */"
          cat $f
          echo
      done \
      | sed -e '\:UNKNOWN:d' \
            -e 's:[,;] }:}:g' \
            -e 's:\([[({]\) :\1:g' \
            -e 's: \([])},;]\):\1:g' \
            -e 's: $::' \
            $f \
      | awk '
      /^.#/   { if (defined[$1] == $0) {
                  print $1
                  next
                }
                defined[$1] = $0
              }
              { print }
      '
      
      When the kernel ABI changes, diffing individual *.symtype files, or the
      combined files, against each other will show which symbol changes caused the
      ABI changes. This can save a tremendous amount of time.

      kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them · ac031f26
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      Add option for stripping modules while installing them.
      
      This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being
      installed.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more
      popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed
      modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so.
      
      Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug
      information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install",
      but that may not work for people who are installing directly into
      /lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs
      worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules,
      so the "make modules_install" never succeeds.
      
      This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the
      modules as they are installed.
