      [IA64] Fix ISA IRQ trigger model and polarity setting · 0577bb66
      Liu Jiang 提交于
      When handling Interrupt Source Override in MADT table, the default
      ISA IRQ trigger model and polarity should be edge-rising.
      Current IA64 implmentation doesn't follow the specification and
      set default ISA IRQ trigger model as level-low. With that wrong
      configuration and when system runs out of interrupt vectors,
      it will cause vector sharing among edge triggered ISA IRQ and
      level triggered PCI IRQ, then interrupt storm. So change the code
      to follow the specification.

      static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
      
      So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
      all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
      more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
      various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
      
      Typical usage scenarios:
      
              #include <linux/static_key.h>
      
              struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
      
              if (static_key_false(&key))
                      do unlikely code
              else
                      do likely code
      
      Or:
      
              if (static_key_true(&key))
                      do likely code
              else
                      do unlikely code
      
      The static key is modified via:
      
              static_key_slow_inc(&key);
              ...
              static_key_slow_dec(&key);
      
      The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
      expensive operation.
      
      I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
      that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
      blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
      patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
      decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
      
      On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
      likely()/unlikely() branches.

      audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archs · b05d8447

      Every arch calls:
      
      if (unlikely(current->audit_context))
      	audit_syscall_entry()
      
      which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in

      can remain blissfully ignorant.

      Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h · d7e7528b
      Eric Paris 提交于
      The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
      supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
      Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
      by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
      success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
      pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
      layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
      in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
      determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
      is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
      value is < -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
      separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.
      
      We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
      instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
      for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
      pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
      function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
      arch correct structure to dereference it.
      
      The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
      change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
      THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
      makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.
      
      In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
      audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
      regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
      patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].
      
      For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
      regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3].  regs->gprs[3] is
      always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
      before calling the audit code when appropriate.

      ACPI, ia64: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 16/32bit PXM fields (ia64) · 9f10f6a5
      Kurt Garloff 提交于
      In SRAT v1, we had 8bit proximity domain (PXM) fields; SRAT v2 provides
      32bits for these. The new fields were reserved before.
      According to the ACPI spec, the OS must disregrard reserved fields.
      
      ia64 did handle the PXM fields almost consistently, but depending on
      sgi's sn2 platform. This patch leaves the sn2 logic in, but does also
      use 16/32 bits for PXM if the SRAT has rev 2 or higher.
      
      The patch also adds __init to the two pxm accessor functions, as they
      access __initdata now and are called from an __init function only anyway.
      
      Note that the code only uses 16 bits for the PXM field in the processor
      proximity field; the patch does not address this as 16 bits are more than
      enough.

      cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem · 8a25a2fd
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
      and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
      implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
      
      After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
      sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
      
      Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
      from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

      [IA64] Merge overlapping reserved regions at boot · 76d71ebd
      Petr Tesarik 提交于
      While working on the upcoming SLES11 SP2, I ran into an issue with booting the
      panic kernel on a kernel crash. In the first iteration I found out that the
      initial register backing store gets overwritten with zeroes, causing a kernel
      crash shortly afterwards.
      
      Further investigation revealed that rsvd_region[] contains overlapping
      entries: find_memmap_space() returns a pointer which lies between KERNEL_START
      and _end. This is correct with the EFI memmap as patched by the kexec
      purgatory code. That code removes vmlinux LOAD segments from the usable map,
      but there is a pretty large hole between the gate section and the per-cpu
      section.
      
      This happens because reserve_memory() blindly marks [KERNEL_START, __end]
      as reserved, even though there is a free block in the middle in the kexec
      case because it noticed a large gap between sections and modified the
      efi_memory_map to account for this.

      ns: Wire up the setns system call · 7b21fddd
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
      at closely and I can't find any problems.
      
      setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
      don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
      
      While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
      very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
      the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
      in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
      behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
      the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
      call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
      call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
      new in the 2.6.39.
      
      v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
      v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
      v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
      v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
      v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
      v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

      [CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructure · 2d06d8c4
      Dominik Brodowski 提交于
      With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages
      also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for
      debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step,
      remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call
      to the generic pr_debug() function.
      
      How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has
      CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
      
      To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and
      
      $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
      
      for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during
      boot, append
      
      	ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p"
      
      as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.
