This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or bettered it by a small amount. It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of 2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5 or Power6. The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches. A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup loop is nop'ed out.

Add a new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, to be added to the 64bit powerpc chips that benefit from having dcbt and dcbz instructions used in their memory copy routines. This will be used in a subsequent patch that updates copy_4K_page(). The new bit is added to Cell, PPC970 and Power4 because they show better performance with the new copy_4K_page() when dcbt and dcbz instructions are used.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats" in commit 0fe1ef24. However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64 and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel, reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32 will result in a kernel panic. This is also known as CVE-2008-1514. Test case available here: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap Steps to reproduce: 1) wget the above 2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31 3) ./user-area-padding-31bit <panic> Test status ----------- Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case, as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads returning zero, writes ignored. Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested the change to return 0 on write attempts.

Automounter maps can contain mount options valid for other NFS implementations but not for Linux. The Linux automounter uses the mount command's "-s" command line option ("s" for "sloppy") so that mount requests containing such options are not rejected. Commit f45663ce attempted to address a known regression with text-based NFS mount option parsing. Unrecognized mount options would cause mount requests to fail, even if the "-s" option was used on the mount command line. Unfortunately, this commit was not complete as submitted. It adds a new mount option, "sloppy". But it is missing a hunk, so it now allows NFS mounts with unrecognized mount options, even if the "sloppy" option is not present. This could be a problem if a required critical mount option such as "sync" is misspelled, for example, and is considered a regression from 2.6.26. This patch restores the missing hunk. Now, the default behavior of text-based NFS mount options is as before: any unrecognized mount option will cause the mount to fail. Please include this in 2.6.27-rc.

Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per second. He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2 and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface. In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts are specifying a hello timer interval of "0". The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

The timewait sockets life cycle is not tied with the network namespace, that means the timewait sockets stay alive while the network namespace dies. The timewait sockets are for avoiding to receive a duplicate packet from the network, if the network namespace is freed, the network stack is removed, so no chance to receive any packets from the outside world. Furthermore, having a pending destruction timer on these sockets with a network namespace freed is not safe and will lead to an oops if the timer callback which try to access data belonging to the namespace like for example in: inet_twdr_do_twkill_work -> NET_INC_STATS_BH(twsk_net(tw), LINUX_MIB_TIMEWAITED); Purging the timewait sockets at the network namespace destruction will: 1) speed up memory freeing for the namespace 2) fix kernel panic on asynchronous timewait destruction Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Acked-by: Denis V.

On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do look better. So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the CONFIG_X86_64 thing. The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for them. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

On HSM_ST_ERR, ata_hsm_move() triggers WARN_ON() if AC_ERR_DEV or AC_ERR_HSM is not set. PHY events may trigger HSM_ST_ERR with other error codes and, with or without it, there just isn't much reason to do WARN_ON() on it. Even if error code is not set there, core EH logic won't have any problem dealing with the error condition. OSDL bz#11065 reports this problem.

of them being unifying probing, hotplug and EH reset paths uniform. Previously, broken hardreset could go unnoticed as it wasn't used during probing but when something goes wrong or after hotplug the problem will surface and bite hard. OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this category. Hardreset itself succeeds but PHY stays offline after hardreset. I tried longer debounce timing but the result was the same. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11195 So, it seems we'll have to drop hardreset from the generic flavor.

This means a lot of users can't use current kernels and in most distro cases can't even install. This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007 for the 6145!!! This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned to Jeff about this are ignored also. To quote Jeff in email > "Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in > /etc/modprobe.conf, then use Fedora's tools regenerate the initrd. > See? It's not rocket science, and the current configuration can be > easily made to work for Fedora users." (Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually breaks at install time is in fact impossible) To quote Jeff in August 2007 > " mv-ahci-pata > Marvell 6121/6141 PATA support. Needs fixing in the 'PATA controller > command' area before it is usable, and can go upstream." Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further id in March causing more regresions. The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

A make -j20 powerpc kernel build broke a couple of months ago saying: In file included from arch/powerpc/boot/gunzip_util.h:13, from arch/powerpc/boot/prpmc2800.c:21: arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:85: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘*’ token arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:630: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘Byte’ arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:630: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘*’ token It happened again yesterday: too rare for me to confirm the fix, but it looks like the list of dependants on gunzip_util.h was incomplete.
