Don't clobber register %l0 while checking TI_SYS_NOERROR value in syscall return path. This bug was introduced by: db7d9a4e Problem narrowed down by Luis F. Ortiz and Richard Mortimer. I tried using %l2 as suggested by Luis and that works for me. Looking at the code I wonder if it makes sense to simplify the code a little bit. The following works for me but I'm not sure how to exercise the "NOERROR" codepath. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it. Switch them to the common helpers. Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface. We don't need the request argument now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error returns. It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines that do one thing well now.

It was a stupid workaround for the "static inline" vs. "extern inline" issues of long ago, and it is what causes schedule() to be inlined like crazy into kernel/sched.c when -Os is specified.

Earlier I unifdefed PageCompound, so that snd_pcm_mmap_control_nopage and others can give out a 0-order component of a higher-order page, which won't be mistakenly freed when zap_pte_range unmaps it. But many Bad page states reported a PG_reserved was freed after all: I had missed that we need to say __GFP_COMP to get compound page behaviour. Some of these higher-order pages are allocated by snd_malloc_pages, some by snd_malloc_dev_pages; or if SBUS, by sbus_alloc_consistent - but that has no gfp arg, so add __GFP_COMP into its sparc32/64 implementations. I'm still rather puzzled that DRM seems not to need a similar change.

Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages just leak away. Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core, to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range. Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages don't get on). Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

Noticed by Tom 'spot' Callaway. Even on uniprocessor we always reported the number of physical cpus in the system via /proc/cpuinfo. But when this got changed to use num_possible_cpus() it always reads as "1" on uniprocessor. This change was unintentional. So scan the firmware device tree and count the number of cpu nodes, and report that, as we always did. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled. Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()). How did it ever work before? Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted. We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined. After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead. By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

sparc64 is unique among architectures in taking the page_table_lock in its context switch (well, cris does too, but erroneously, and it's not yet SMP anyway). This seems to be a private affair between switch_mm and activate_mm, using page_table_lock as a per-mm lock, without any relation to its uses elsewhere. That's fine, but comment it as such; and unlock sooner in switch_mm, more like in activate_mm (preemption is disabled here). There is a block of "if (0)"ed code in smp_flush_tlb_pending which would have liked to rely on the page_table_lock, in switch_mm and elsewhere; but its comment explains how dup_mmap's flush_tlb_mm defeated it. And though that could have been changed at any time over the past few years, now the chance vanishes as we push the page_table_lock downwards, and perhaps split it per page table page. Just delete that block of code. Which leaves the mysterious spin_unlock_wait(&oldmm->page_table_lock) in kernel/fork.c copy_mm. Textual analysis (supported by Nick Piggin) suggests that the comment was written by DaveM, and that it relates to the defeated approach in the sparc64 smp_flush_tlb_pending. Just delete this block too. Signed-off-by: NHugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
