Handle the ibm,suspend-me RTAS call specially. It needs to be wrapped in a set of synchronization hypervisor calls (H_Join). When the H_Join calls are made on all CPUs, the intent is that only one will return with H_Continue, meaning that he is the "last man standing". That CPU then issues the ibm,suspend-me call. What is interesting, of course, is that the CPU running when the rtas syscall is made, may NOT be the CPU that ultimately executes the ibm,suspend-me rtas call.

The arch/powerpc version of process.c exports get_wchan itself. When I moved ARCH=ppc over to using arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c the get_wchan export in arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c became redundant, so remove it.

The following implements support for instantiation of 8MB D-TLB entries for the kernel direct virtual mapping on 8xx, thus reducing TLB space consumed for the kernel.

In 2.6.15-git6 a change was commited in the oprofile support in the powerpc architecture. It introduced the powerpc_oprofile_type which contains the define G4. This causes a name clash with the existing wacom usb tablet driver.

The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible alternative versions of shared libraries. This commit makes the kernel supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor we are running on. Processors with the same set of user-level instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860 are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455 are all called "ppc7450". The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option. For values which are numeric (e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended. This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

On PowerPC, we want to be able to provide an AT_PLATFORM aux table entry to userspace, so that glibc can choose optimized libraries for the processor we're running on. Unfortunately that would be the 21st aux table entry on powerpc, meaning that the aux table including the terminating null entry would overflow the mm->saved_auxv[] array, leading to userland programs segfaulting. This increases the size of the mm->saved_auxv array to be large enough to accommodate an AT_PLATFORM entry on powerpc.

eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of values. We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load. I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly, they dont make sense now our locks are out of line. Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to use lwsync.

At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.

This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or 64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*). The idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given situation. The new macros and their semantics are described in the comments in ppc_asm.h. In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC. Likewise we cleanup a couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro instead.

Add support for updating and removing device tree properties. Since we hand out pointers to properties with gay abandon, we can't just free the property storage. Instead we move deleted, or the old copy of an updated property, to a "dead properties" list. Also note, its not feasable to kref device tree properties. we call get_property() all over the kernel in a wild variety of contexts. One consequence of this change is that we now take a read_lock(&devtree_lock) when doing get_property().

I believe I see the race Michael refers to (tlb_choose_channel may set head, which tlb_init_slave clears), although I was not able to reproduce it. I have updated his patch for the current netdev-2.6.git tree and added a version update. His original comment follows: Our systems have been crashing during testing of PCI HotPlug support in the various networking components. We've faulted in the bonding driver due to a bug in bond_alb.c:tlb_clear_slave() In that routine, the last modification to the TLB hash table is made without protection of the lock, allowing a race that can lead tlb_choose_channel() to select an invalid table element. -J Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

This patch allows the Atmel driver to work correctly with wpa_supplicant and other programs that require some conformance with WEXT-18. It should not affect current behavior of the driver. The patch does four things: 1) Implements SIOCSIWENCODEEXT, SIOCGIWENCODEEXT, SIOCSIWAUTH, and SIOCGIWAUTH calls for unencrypted and WEP operation 2) Accepts zero-filled addresses for SIOCSIWAP, which are legal and should turn off any previous forced WAP address 3) Sends association and de-association events to userspace at most of the appropriate times 4) Fixes erroneous order of CIPHER_SUITE_WEP_* arguments in one location which are actually unused anyway Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

由 ODonnell, Michael 提交于
We have identified two related bugs in the e100 driver. Both bugs are related to manipulation of the MDI control register. The first problem is that the Ready bit is being ignored when writing to the Control register; we noticed this because the Linux bonding driver would occasionally come to the spurious conclusion that the link was down when querying Link State. It turned out that by failing to wait for a previous command to complete it was selecting what was essentially a random register in the MDI register set. When we added code that waits for the Ready bit (as shown in the patch file below) all such problems ceased. The second problem is that, although access to the MDI registers involves multiple steps which must not be intermixed, nothing was defending against two or more threads attempting simultaneous access. The most obvious situation where such interference could occur involves the watchdog versus ioctl paths, but there are probably others, so we recommend the locking shown in our patch file.
