The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers. While I was looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate. So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid the ABI conflict. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't break glibc. This is totally irresponsible. So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl support from their sysctl code. Hopefully they don't have ascii name conflicts as well. And now that they have no ABI numbers add them to the end instead of the sysctl list instead of the head so nothing else will be overridden.

I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested.

This patch simply defines CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches. We later do special things with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA after the VM and an arch are prepared to work without ZONE_DMA. CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture handles ISA DMA. First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported. We can catch this in mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code. Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way. We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards compatibility. The arches may later undefine ZONE_DMA if their arch code has been verified to not depend on ZONE_DMA.

The arch hooks arch_setup_msi_irq and arch_teardown_msi_irq are now responsible for allocating and freeing the linux irq in addition to setting up the the linux irq to work with the interrupt. arch_setup_msi_irq now takes a pci_device and a msi_desc and returns an irq.

We need to be able to get from an irq number to a struct msi_desc. The msi_desc array in msi.c had several short comings the big one was that it could not be used outside of msi.c. Using irq_data in struct irq_desc almost worked except on some architectures irq_data needs to be used for something else. So this patch adds a msi_desc pointer to irq_desc, adds the appropriate wrappers and changes all of the msi code to use them. The dynamic_irq_init/cleanup code was tweaked to ensure the new field is left in a well defined state. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem related to inconsistent use of add_active_range. There doesn't appear any reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to add_active_range with different code. So I've changed the code into a common implementation. The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed. We were lucky with 16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. count_node_pages has reserved regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages. So linked kernel regions wasn't reported to add_active_regions. This resulted in free_initmem causing numerous bad_page reports. This won't occur with this patch because now all known memory regions are reported by register_active_ranges.

When we offline a CPU, migrate_irqs() tries to determine whether the affinity bits of the IRQ descriptor match any of the remaining online CPUs. If not, it fixes up the interrupt to point somewhere else. Unfortunately, if an IRQ is unregistered the IRQ descriptor may still have affinity to the CPU being offlined, but the no_irq_chip handler doesn't provide a set_affinity function. This causes us to hit the WARN_ON in migrate_irqs(). The easiest solution seems to be setting all the bits in the affinity mask when the last interrupt is removed from the vector. I hit this on an older kernel with Xen/ia64 using driver domains (so it probably needs more testing on upstream). Xen essentially uses the bind/unbind interface in sysfs to unregister a device from a driver and thus unregister the interrupt.

As is pointed out in http://www.gelato.org/community/view_linear.php?id=1_1036&from=authors&value=Ian%20Wienand#1_1039, if single step on break instruction, the break fault has higher priority than the single-step trap. When the break fault handler is entered, it advances the IP by 1 instruction so break instruction single-stepping is skipped, actually it is next instruction which is single stepped. This patch modifies this, it adds TIF_SINGLESTEP bit for thread flags, and generate a fake sigtrap when single stepping break instruction. Test case in attachment can verify this.
