Implement do_no_pfn() for handling mapping of memory without a struct page backing it. This avoids creating fake page table entries for regions which are not backed by real memory. This feature is used by the MSPEC driver and other users, where it is highly undesirable to have a struct page sitting behind the page (for instance if the page is accessed in cached mode via the struct page in parallel to the the driver accessing it uncached, which can result in data corruption on some architectures, such as ia64). This version uses specific NOPFN_{SIGBUS,OOM} return values, rather than expect all negative pfn values would be an error. It also bugs on cow mappings as this would not work with the VM.

This moves the definition of struct page from mm.h to its own header file page-struct.h. This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on s390: #define SetPageUptodate(_page) do { struct page *__page = (_page); if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags)) page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page); } while (0) _page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs. Using __page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well. In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions. Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate header file for the struct page definition.

The VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the LRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates). But we don't actually have a clear way of showing how true this is. So add `nr_vmscan_write' to /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo - the number of pages which have been written by the vm scanner in this zone and globally.

Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node (pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was registered by the architecture. However, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that is used lated on memory hot-add. This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to at *least* the requested boundary.

At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code. The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture independent manner. Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable. It adjusts the watermarks slightly Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig, gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3. There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present. The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on. Additional credit; Dave Hansen for the initial suggestion and comments on early patches Andy Whitcroft for reviewing early versions and catching numerous errors Tony Luck for testing and debugging on IA64 Bob Picco for fixing bugs related to pfn registration, reviewing a number of patch revisions, providing a number of suggestions on future direction and testing heavily Jack Steiner and Robin Holt for testing on IA64 and clarifying issues related to memory holes Yasunori for testing on IA64 Andi Kleen for reviewing and feeding back about x86_64 Christian Kujau for providing valuable information related to ACPI problems on x86_64 and testing potential fixes This patch: Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node in an architecture independent manner. Architectures are expected to register active ranges of PFNs using add_active_range(nid, start_pfn, end_pfn) and call free_area_init_nodes() passing the PFNs of the end of each zone.

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common. Still, should fix. (some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well). I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it at this point.

There are numerous drivers that can use multithreaded probing but having some kind of global flag as the way to control this makes migration to threaded probing hard and since it enables it everywhere and is almost as likely to cause serious pain as holding a clog dance in a minefield. If we have a pci_driver multithread_probe flag to inherit you can turn it on for one driver at a time. From playing so far however I think we need a different model at the device layer which serializes until the called probe function says "ok you can start another one now". That would need some kind of flag and semaphore plus a helper function. Anyway in the absence of that this is a starting point to usefully play with this stuff Signed-off-by: NAlan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Patch 3 implements the core part of PCI-Express AER and aerdrv port service driver. When a root port service device is probed, the aerdrv will call request_irq to register irq handler for AER error interrupt. When a device sends an PCI-Express error message to the root port, the root port will trigger an interrupt, by either MSI or IO-APIC, then kernel would run the irq handler. The handler collects root error status register and schedules a work. The work will call the core part to process the error based on its type (Correctable/non-fatal/fatal). As for Correctable errors, the patch chooses to just clear the correctable error status register of the device. As for the non-fatal error, the patch follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices. As for the fatal error, the patch resets the pci-express link and follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices. Signed-off-by: NZhang Yanmin <yanmin.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle. If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames). Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend). The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).

The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines. However, we should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else after we have disabled them. The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should better be static. Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE macro currently in -mm. (in x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch) The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or -mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments" type errors. Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional when compiling assembly files. Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor macro. I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty fscking strange!). With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with both old and new assemblers. ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS, .asciz, "linux") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION, .asciz, "2.6") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION, .asciz, "xen-3.0") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE, .long, __PAGE_OFFSET) Which seems reasonable enough.

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Eric W.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from Atmel. Full data sheet is available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918 including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for booting from SD card. Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for avr32-linux. This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
