      Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary again · 8993780a
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
      depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary.  It does
      that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
      "linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
      is really broken in itself, but whatever..)
      
      That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
      change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
      thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649:
      "[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").
      
      This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
      the version finding.  And /proc/version simply uses a different string.
      
      To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
      string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
      bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
      "Linux version " first.

      [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel · f0d1b0b3
      David Howells 提交于
      This facility provides three entry points:
      
      	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
      	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
      	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64
      
      These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
      
      	int do_something(long q)
      	{
      		...;
      		y = ilog2(x)
      		...;
      	}
      
      Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
      
      	unsigned n = ilog2(27);
      
      When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
      initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
      something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
      unsigned.
      
      When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
      them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
      x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

      Fix 'ALIGN()' macro, take 2 · 2ea58144
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      You wouldn't think that doing an ALIGN() macro that aligns something up
      to a power-of-two boundary would be likely to have bugs, would you?
      
      But hey, in the wonderful world of mixing integer types, you have to be
      careful.  This just makes sure that the alignment is interpreted in the
      same type as the thing to be aligned.
      
      Thanks to Roland Dreier, who noticed that the amso1100 driver got broken
      by the previous fix (that just extended the mask to "unsigned long", but
      was still broken in "unsigned long long" - it just happened to be the
      same on 64-bit architectures).

      [PATCH] x86: Allow users to force a panic on NMI · 8da5adda
      Don Zickus 提交于
      To quote Alan Cox:
      
      The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
      continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
      it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
      an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.
      
      A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
      such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
      the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
      that directory.
      
      This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
      handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
      panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

      [PATCH] writeback: fix range handling · 111ebb6e
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
      indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
      values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
      has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
      request.  Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
      to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".
      
      To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.
      
      So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
      sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.
      
      And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
      cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.
      
      This patch does,
      
          - Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
            -1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,
      
      		range_end += val;		range_end is "val - 1"
      		u64val = range_end >> bits;	u64val is "~(0ULL)"
      
            or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
            things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.
      
          - All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.
      
          - Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
            If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
            index may reduce chance to scan end of file.  So, this updates
            ->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
            scanned.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------

      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list

      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
      kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
      kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
      kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
      kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.
