This adds fast paths for 32-bit syscall entry and exit when TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is set, but no other kind of syscall tracing. These paths does not need to save and restore all registers as the general case of tracing does. Avoiding the iret return path when syscall audit is enabled helps performance a lot.

This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me. AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were, it would go wrong. To wit, try loading a module whose init function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash (presumably with a wrong user stack pointer). This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK. I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no _TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are already superfluous. If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do. Signed-off-by: NRoland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

My copying of linux/init.h didn't go far enough. The definition of __used singled out gcc minor version 3, but didn't care what the major version was. This broke when unit-at-a-time was added and gcc started throwing out initcalls. This results in an early boot crash when ptrace tries to initialize a process with an empty, uninitialized register set.

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core interface. It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of debug hooks. The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver. Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver configured. Signed-off-by: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

This patch adds the ARCH=arm specific a kgdb backend, originally written by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net> and George Davis <gdavis@mvista.com>. Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>, Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed various fixups here as well. The KGDB patch makes one change to the core ARM architecture such that the traps are initialized early for use with the debugger or other subsystems.

currently if you use PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK on AMD K6-3 (i586) it will crash. Kernel now wrongly assumes existing DEBUGCTLMSR MSR register there. Removed the assumption also for some other non-K6 CPUs but I am not sure there (but it can only bring small inefficiency there if my assumption is wrong).

Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual purpose of the constant. Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the problem is. But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

(Jeremy said: rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK When I asked: jsgf: does that include the NX flag? He responded eloquently: rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes ) Change a15af1c9 'x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags() in favor of a generic one. Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits: this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing up host memory. Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems safest to always do the filtering.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input. This happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic in this linker script. People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address). To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy" segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the "notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load address will be zero.

This patch changes the EEH_MAX_FAILS action from panic to printing an error message. Panicking under under this condition is too harsh. Although performance will be affected and the device may not recover, the system is still running, which at the very least should allow for a more graceful shutdown. The patch also removes the msleep() within a spinlock, which can lead to a deadlock and is not recommended.

Introduce a new dma attriblue DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING to use weak ordering on DMA mappings in the Cell processor. Add the code to the Cell's IOMMU implementation to use this code. Dynamic mappings can be weakly or strongly ordered on an individual basis but the fixed mapping has to be either completely strong or completely weak. This is currently decided by a kernel boot option (pass iommu_fixed=weak for a weakly ordered fixed linear mapping, strongly ordered is the default).

While running on a system with new hardware and a kernel where the cpu_specs[] table does not recognize the new hardware, the identify_cpu() routine will select the default case as it searches through cpu_specs[] in an attempt to match the real PVR. Once the default case is selected, non of the oprofile counters and/or fields have been set up or defined. When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of the cpu specific fields are replaced with the exception of the oprofile related ones. However, in the case where we have actually taken the default case while searching for the real PVR, we need to tell oprofile that we are now running in compatibility mode so it can pick up the correct counters. We do this by setting the oprofile_cpu_type field to be that taken from the cpu_specs[] for the cpu we are now emulating. This change will detect that we are now altering the real PVR and determine if we also need to update the oprofile_cpu_type field.

The OF parsing code for PCI addresses isn't always treating properly the address space indication 0b11 (ie. 0x3) as meaning 64 bits memory space.
