Hey, it's fifteen years today since I bought the machine that got Linux
started.  January 2nd is a good date.

Otherwise a bad mem policy system call can confuse the interleaving
code into referencing undefined nodes.

In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
<asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the
configurable timer frequency.

However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland
namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros.  This greatly confuses
software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.

Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp
conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such
machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at
shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
already overtemp by the time the driver loads).

This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

This is a slightly more complete fix for the previous minimal sysctl
string fix.  It always terminates the returned string with a NUL, even
if the full result wouldn't fit in the user-supplied buffer.

The returned length is the full untruncated length, so that you can
tell when truncation has occurred.

For the sysctl syscall, if the user wants to get the old value of a
sysctl entry and set a new value for it in the same syscall, the old
value is always overwritten by the new value if the sysctl entry is of
string type and if the user sets its strategy to sysctl_string.  This
issue lies in the strategy being run twice if the strategy is set to
sysctl_string, the general strategy sysctl_string always returns 0 if
success.

Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1
because they do read and write for the sysctl entry.

The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read
and write the sysctl entry.

According to my analysis, if a strategy routine do read and write, it
should return 1, if it just does some necessary check but not read and
write, it should return 0, for example sysctl_intvec.

If the string was too long to fit in the user-supplied buffer,
the sysctl layer would zero-terminate it by writing past the
end of the buffer. Don't do that.

The old /proc interfaces were never updated to use loff_t, and are just
generally broken.  Now, we should be using the seq_file interface for
all of the proc files, but converting the legacy functions is more work
than most people care for and has little upside..

But at least we can make the non-LFS rules explicit, rather than just
insanely wrapping the offset or something.

that changed the GART VM start offset.  It fixed some machines, but
seems to continually interact badly with some X versions.

Quoth Ben Herrenschmidt:

  "So I think at this point, the best is that we keep the old bogus code
   that at least is consistent with the bug in the server. I'm working on a
   big patch to X that reworks the memory map stuff completely and fixes
   those issues on the server side, I'll do a DRM patch matching this X fix
   as well so that the memory map is only ever set in one place and with
   what I hope is a correct algorithm..."

Today, when compiling UML, I got warnings for two used unexported symbols:
readdir64 and truncate64. Indeed, my glibc headers are aliasing readdir to
readdir64 and truncate to truncate64 (and so on).

I'm then adding additional exports. Since I've no idea if the symbols where
always provided in the supported glibc's, I've added weak definitions too.

Don't use printk() where "current_thread_info()" is crap.

Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates
to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, &current is evaluated with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task).

And this leads to random segmentation faults.

Exactly, what happens is that &current = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round
down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which
causes SIGSEGV on a VM_GROWSDOWN vma (see arch/i386/mm/fault.c).

And checking the 2.4.x drivers/sbus/char/sunmouse.c driver shows we

As reported by Jules Villard <jvillard@ens-lyon.fr> and some others, the
recent GART aperture start reconfiguration causes problems on some
setups.

What I _think_ might be happening is that the X server is also trying to
muck around with the card memory map and is forcing it back into a wrong
setting that also happens to no longer match what the DRM wants to do
and blows up.  There are bugs all over the place in that code (and still
some bugs in the DRM as well anyway).

This patch attempts to avoid that by using the largest of the 2 values,
which I think will cause it to behave as it used to for you and will
still fix the problem with machines that have an aperture size smaller
than the video memory.
