      [PATCH] Fix VMI and COMPAT_VDSO for 2.6.21 · b6bc5d71
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      VMI is broken under COMPAT_VDSO, as Xen and other non hardware assisted
      hypervisors will be.  I have been working on a fix for this which works
      for older glibcs that panic when the new relocatable VDSO is used.
      
      However, I believe at this time that the fix is going to be too radical
      to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21.  We don't expect
      this config option to be turned on by vendors for new distributions, so
      at this point we are willing to drop support for it when VMI is compiled
      in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more fully addresses the
      problem.

      [PATCH] i386: vMI timer patches · bbab4f3b
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      VMI timer code.  It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
      configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code.  The backend
      timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
      some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
      when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
      hypervisors as well.  So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

      [PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA · 5ac6da66
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
      channel management.  Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
      provide memory below 16M.  So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
      set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA.  Undo the modifications to
      mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
      theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.
      
      Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
      switched off.  It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
      supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
      memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
      IA64/Altix).
      
      In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
      a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
      capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
      alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
      (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
      call.  In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
      to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

      [PATCH] i386: Restore CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option · dd0ec16f
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      o Relocatable bzImage support had got rid of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option
        thinking that now this option is not required as people can build a
        second kernel as relocatable and load it anywhere. So need of compiling
        the kernel for a custom address was gone. But Magnus uses vmlinux images
        for second kernel in Xen environment and he wants to continue to use
        it.
      
      o Restoring the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option for the time being. I think
        down the line we can get rid of it.

      [PATCH] Generic BUG for i386 · 91768d6c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery.  There are no functional
      changes from the old i386 implementation.
      
      The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the
      inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function)
      information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream.  This reduces
      cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

      [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable · 3a872d89
      Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 提交于
      In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
      
      o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
        The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
        architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
        to specify the ".symbols"
      o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
        specify an offset into a symbol.
      o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
        However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
        probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
      o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
        CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
      o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
        the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
        happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
      o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
        work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
        work, say, on powerpc)
