2010-08-05memblock: Remove rmo_size, burry it in arch/powerpc where it belongsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes) and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode (aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing. We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

2010-08-05memblock: Introduce default allocation limit and use it to replace explicit onesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE). The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere. It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears. Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time results in something that is accessible with a simple __va(). The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will honor the current limit when performing those allocations. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

XATTR_CREATE specifies a pure create, which fails if the named attribute exists already. XATTR_REPLACE specifies a pure replace operation, which fails if the named attribute does not already exist. By default (no flags), the extended attribute will be created if need be, or will simply replace the value if the attribute exists." The actual setxattr operation happens when the fid is clunked.

SYNOPSIS size[4] Tsetattr tag[2] attr[n] size[4] Rsetattr tag[2] DESCRIPTION The setattr command changes some of the file status information. attr resembles the iattr structure used in Linux kernel. It specifies which status parameter is to be changed and to what value. It is laid out as follows: valid[4] specifies which status information is to be changed. Possible values are: ATTR_MODE (1 << 0) ATTR_UID (1 << 1) ATTR_GID (1 << 2) ATTR_SIZE (1 << 3) ATTR_ATIME (1 << 4) ATTR_MTIME (1 << 5) ATTR_ATIME_SET (1 << 7) ATTR_MTIME_SET (1 << 8) The last two bits represent whether the time information is being sent by the client's user space. In the absense of these bits the server always uses server's time. mode[4] File permission bits uid[4] Owner id of file gid[4] Group id of the file size[8] File size atime_sec[8] Time of last file access, seconds atime_nsec[8] Time of last file access, nanoseconds mtime_sec[8] Time of last file modification, seconds mtime_nsec[8] Time of last file modification, nanoseconds Explanation of the patches: -------------------------- *) The kernel just copies relevent contents of iattr structure to p9_iattr_dotl structure and passes it down to the client. The only check it has is calling inode_change_ok() *) The p9_iattr_dotl structure does not have ctime and ia_file parameters because I don't think these are needed in our case. The client user space can request updating just ctime by calling chown(fd, -1, -1). This is handled on server side without a need for putting ctime on the wire. *) The server currently supports changing mode, time, ownership and size of the file. *) 9P RFC says "Either all the changes in wstat request happen, or none of them does: if the request succeeds, all changes were made; if it fails, none were." I have not done anything to implement this specifically because I don't see a reason.

2010-08-029p: getattr client implementation for 9P2000.L protocol.Sripathi Kodi
SYNOPSIS size[4] Tgetattr tag[2] fid[4] request_mask[8] size[4] Rgetattr tag[2] lstat[n] DESCRIPTION The getattr transaction inquires about the file identified by fid. request_mask is a bit mask that specifies which fields of the stat structure is the client interested in. The reply will contain a machine-independent directory entry, laid out as follows: st_result_mask[8] Bit mask that indicates which fields in the stat structure have been populated by the server qid.type[1] the type of the file (directory, etc.), represented as a bit vector corresponding to the high 8 bits of the file's mode word. qid.vers[4] version number for given path qid.path[8] the file server's unique identification for the file st_mode[4] Permission and flags st_uid[4] User id of owner st_gid[4] Group ID of owner st_nlink[8] Number of hard links st_rdev[8] Device ID (if special file) st_size[8] Size, in bytes st_blksize[8] Block size for file system IO st_blocks[8] Number of file system blocks allocated st_atime_sec[8] Time of last access, seconds st_atime_nsec[8] Time of last access, nanoseconds st_mtime_sec[8] Time of last modification, seconds st_mtime_nsec[8] Time of last modification, nanoseconds st_ctime_sec[8] Time of last status change, seconds st_ctime_nsec[8] Time of last status change, nanoseconds st_btime_sec[8] Time of creation (birth) of file, seconds st_btime_nsec[8] Time of creation (birth) of file, nanoseconds st_gen[8] Inode generation st_data_version[8] Data version number request_mask and result_mask bit masks contain the following bits #define P9_STATS_MODE 0x00000001ULL #define P9_STATS_NLINK 0x00000002ULL #define P9_STATS_UID 0x00000004ULL #define P9_STATS_GID 0x00000008ULL #define P9_STATS_RDEV 0x00000010ULL #define P9_STATS_ATIME 0x00000020ULL #define P9_STATS_MTIME 0x00000040ULL #define P9_STATS_CTIME 0x00000080ULL #define P9_STATS_INO 0x00000100ULL #define P9_STATS_SIZE 0x00000200ULL #define P9_STATS_BLOCKS 0x00000400ULL #define P9_STATS_BTIME 0x00000800ULL #define P9_STATS_GEN 0x00001000ULL #define P9_STATS_DATA_VERSION 0x00002000ULL #define P9_STATS_BASIC 0x000007ffULL #define P9_STATS_ALL 0x00003fffULL This patch implements the client side of getattr implementation for 9P2000.L. It introduces a new structure p9_stat_dotl for getting Linux stat information along with QID. The data layout is similar to stat structure in Linux user space with the following major differences: inode (st_ino) is not part of data. Instead qid is. device (st_dev) is not part of data because this doesn't make sense on the client. All time variables are 64 bit wide on the wire. The kernel seems to use 32 bit variables for these variables. However, some of the architectures have used 64 bit variables and glibc exposes 64 bit variables to user space on some architectures. Hence to be on the safer side we have made these 64 bit in the protocol. Refer to the comments in include/asm-generic/stat.h There are some additional fields: st_btime_sec, st_btime_nsec, st_gen, st_data_version apart from the bitmask, st_result_mask. The bit mask is filled by the server to indicate which stat fields have been populated by the server. Currently there is no clean way for the server to obtain these additional fields, so it sends back just the basic fields.

2010-08-029p: readdir implementation for 9p2000.LSripathi Kodi
This patch implements the kernel part of readdir() implementation for 9p2000.L Change from V3: Instead of inode, server now sends qids for each dirent SYNOPSIS size[4] Treaddir tag[2] fid[4] offset[8] count[4] size[4] Rreaddir tag[2] count[4] data[count] DESCRIPTION The readdir request asks the server to read the directory specified by 'fid' at an offset specified by 'offset' and return as many dirent structures as possible that fit into count bytes. Each dirent structure is laid out as follows. qid.type[1] the type of the file (directory, etc.), represented as a bit vector corresponding to the high 8 bits of the file's mode word. qid.vers[4] version number for given path qid.path[8] the file server's unique identification for the file offset[8] offset into the next dirent. type[1] type of this directory entry. name[256] name of this directory entry. This patch adds v9fs_dir_readdir_dotl() as the readdir() call for 9p2000.L. This function sends P9_TREADDIR command to the server. In response the server sends a buffer filled with dirent structures. This is different from the existing v9fs_dir_readdir() call which receives stat structures from the server. This results in significant speedup of readdir() on large directories. For example, doing 'ls >/dev/null' on a directory with 10000 files on my laptop takes 1.088 seconds with the existing code, but only takes 0.339 seconds with the new readdir.

2010-07-31ARM: AMBA: Add pclk support to AMBA bus infrastructureRussell King
Some platforms gate the pclk (APB - the bus - clock) to the peripherals for power saving, along with the functional clock. When devices are accessed without pclk enabled, the kernel will oops. This gives them two options: 1. Leave all clocks on all the time. 2. Attempt to gate pclk along with the functional clock. (With some hardware, pclk and the functional clock are gated by a single bit in a register.) (1) has the disadvantage that it causes increased power usage, which is bad news for battery operated devices. (2) can lead to kernel oops if registers are accessed without the functional clock being enabled. So, introduce the apb_pclk signal in such a way existing drivers don't need to be updated. Essentially, this means we guarantee that: 1. pclk will be enabled whenever the driver is bound to a device - from probe() to remove() time. 2. pclk will also be enabled when reading the primecell IDs from the device. In order to allow drivers to be incrementally updated to achieve greater power savings, we provide two additional calls to allow drivers to manage the pclk - amba_pclk_enable()/amba_pclk_disable().

2010-07-29CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner commentDavid Howells
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation condition: lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held() as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held. Instead, add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. Fix __task_cred()'s comment to: (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying. (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used instead. Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Paul E.

2010-07-29CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentialsDavid Howells
It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the task being accessed. What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds(): TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER -->get_task_cred(TASK_2) rcu_read_lock() __cred = __task_cred(TASK_2) -->commit_creds() old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred TASK_2->real_cred = ... put_cred(old_cred) call_rcu(old_cred) [__cred->usage == 0] get_cred(__cred) [__cred->usage == 1] rcu_read_unlock() -->put_cred_rcu() [__cred->usage == 1] panic() However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero. If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU cleanup code. We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the same problem. Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be, for example: kernel BUG at kernel/cred.c:168! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run CPU 0 Pid: 2436, comm: master Not tainted 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 #1 0HR330/OptiPlex 745 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81069881>] [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP: 0018:ffff88019e7e9eb8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff880161514480 RCX: 00000000ffffffff RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff880140c690c0 RDI: ffff880140c690c0 RBP: ffff88019e7e9eb8 R08: 00000000000000d0 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: ffff880140c690c0 R13: ffff88019e77aea0 R14: 00007fff336b0a5c R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f12f50d97c0(0000) GS:ffff880007400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f8f461bc000 CR3: 00000001b26ce000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process master (pid: 2436, threadinfo ffff88019e7e8000, task ffff88019e77aea0) Stack: ffff88019e7e9ec8 ffffffff810698cd ffff88019e7e9ef8 ffffffff81069b45 <0> ffff880161514180 ffff880161514480 ffff880161514180 0000000000000000 <0> ffff88019e7e9f28 ffffffff8106aace 0000000000000001 0000000000000246 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810698cd>] put_cred+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81069b45>] commit_creds+0x16b/0x175 [<ffffffff8106aace>] set_current_groups+0x47/0x4e [<ffffffff8106ac89>] sys_setgroups+0xf6/0x105 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 48 8d 71 ff e8 7e 4e 15 00 85 c0 78 0b 8b 75 ec 48 89 df e8 ef 4a 15 00 48 83 c4 18 5b c9 c3 55 8b 07 8b 07 48 89 e5 85 c0 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 65 48 8b 04 25 00 cc 00 00 48 3b b8 58 04 00 00 75 RIP [<ffffffff81069881>] __put_cred+0xc/0x45 RSP <ffff88019e7e9eb8> ---[ end trace df391256a100ebdd ]--- Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Acked-by: Mark Brown <broonie@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com> In TPS6507x, depending on the status of DEFDCDC{2,3} pin either DEFDCDC{2,3}_LOW or DEFDCDC{2,3}_HIGH register needs to be read or programmed to change the output voltage. The current driver assumes DEFDCDC{2,3} pins are always tied low and thus operates only on DEFDCDC{2,3}_LOW register. This need not always be the case (as is found on OMAP-L138 EVM). Unfortunately, software cannot read the status of DEFDCDC{2,3} pins. So, this information is passed through platform data depending on how the board is wired.

Implementation of the ST-Ericsson baudrate extension in the PL011 block. In this modified variant it is possible to change the sampling factor from 16 to 8, and thanks to this we can get higher baudrates while still using the same peripheral clock. Also replace the simple division to determine the baud divisor with DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() rather than a simple integer division.

Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request until the transaction to convert the extent has been commited. That means the aio_complete calls needs to be moved into the ->end_io callback so that the filesystem can control when to call it exactly. This makes a bit of a mess out of dio_complete and the ->end_io callback prototype even more complicated.

2010-07-25net sched: fix race in mirred device removalstephen hemminger
This fixes hang when target device of mirred packet classifier action is removed. If a mirror or redirection action is configured to cause packets to go to another device, the classifier holds a ref count, but was assuming the adminstrator cleaned up all redirections before removing. The fix is to add a notifier and cleanup during unregister. The new list is implicitly protected by RTNL mutex because it is held during filter add/delete as well as notifier.

2010-07-25ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAMRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2 (ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal file).

2010-07-23vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot)Sam Ravnborg
The .data..init_task output section was missing a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot. Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION(). There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc. cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not impacted by this change. Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like all other output sections.
