      I think ia64_switch_mode_phys and ia64_switch_mode_virt
      does not need to alloc an empty frame.
      An empty frame is required by loadrs but flushrs
      does not need that.

      [IA64] Do not assume output registers be reservered. · acb15c85
      Zou Nan hai 提交于
      We found an issue in pal.S.
      
      According to the software runtime SPEC,
      The caller's output registers do not need to be preserved for
      caller. The callee may reuse input registers for any other
      purpose within the procedure.
      
      in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked,
      
      input registers are copied to output registers before call
      into ia64_switch_mode_phys, then used to call into PAL. This
      assumes output registers are preserved in ia64_switch_mode_phys,
      which may not be true.
      
      In this particular case, ia64_switch_mode_phys alloc a null frame
      , and mask off psr.i.
      If an interrupt comes at this small window,
      or an MCA comes inside the procedure, output registers
      maybe changed,
      then the pal call may got some staled input registers.
      
      This patch moves the copies from input to output
      after ia64_switch_mode_phys to follow the software
      runtime convention.
      
      It  also removed some unused labels in
      ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked.

      [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix · 0b0bf7a3
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
      dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
      ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
      dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
      whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
      new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
      to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
      producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
      to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
      dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
      linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
      ".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
      dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
      still handle.
      
      The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
      images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
      panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
      
      This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
      
      First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
       This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
      with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
      
      Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
      images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
      conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
      concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
      system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
      provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
      with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
      =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
      compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
      make any choice work fine.

      Horms 提交于
      This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
      all architectures that implement it.
      
      It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
      interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
      panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
      all.
      
      This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
      accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
      too long, feedback welcome.
      
      For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.
      
      Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
      already not present.

      [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfn · 06c67bef
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
      memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
      not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
      address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
      
      There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
      >= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
      address:
      
      	static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
      
      And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
      
      	static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
      	{
      		size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
      
      		if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
      
      So that's not much help either.
      
      This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

      Andi Kleen 提交于
      During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of

      to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
      no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
      to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
      
      Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
      way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle
      function.

      [PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pages · 742755a1
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
      be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
      node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.
      
      long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
      		addresses_of_pages[],
      		nodes[] or NULL,
      		status[],
      		flags);
      
      The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
      pages to be moved.
      
      The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
      to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
      the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
      the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.
      
      The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
      attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
      move_pages() completed successfullly.
      
      Possible page states in status[]:
      
      0..MAX_NUMNODES	The page is now on the indicated node.
      
      -ENOENT		Page is not present
      
      -EACCES		Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
      		be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
      
      -EPERM		The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
      		cannot be moved.
      
      -EBUSY		Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.
      
      -EFAULT		Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).
      
      -ENOMEM		Unable to allocate memory on target node.
      
      -EIO		Unable to write back page. The page must be written
      		back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
      		filesystem does not provide a migration function that
      		would allow the moving of dirty pages.
      
      -EINVAL		A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
      		a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.
      
      The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:
      
      MPOL_MF_MOVE	Move pages that are only mapped by the process.
      
      MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
      		Requires sufficient capabilities.
      
      Possible return codes from move_pages()
      
      -ENOENT		No pages found that would require moving. All pages
      		are either already on the target node, not present, had an
      		invalid address or could not be moved because they were
      		mapped by multiple processes.
      
      -EINVAL		Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
      		to migrate pages in a kernel thread.
      
      -EPERM		MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
      		or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.
      
      -EACCES		One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.
      
      -ENODEV		One of the target nodes is not online.
      
      -ESRCH		Process does not exist.
      
      -E2BIG		Too many pages to move.
      
      -ENOMEM		Not enough memory to allocate control array.
      
      -EFAULT		Parameters could not be accessed.
      
      A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
      on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3
      
      From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
      
        Detailed results for sys_move_pages()
      
        Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
        indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
        placed.  This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
        each page.
      
        Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
