We can use default_server when masking an interrupt vector. get_irq_server() assumes a virtual irq, so badness may happen if we give it a real one. Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The powerpc specific version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() makes some unwarranted assumptions about what checks have been made to its parameters by its callers. This will lead to a BUG_ON() if a 32-bit process attempts to make a hugepage mapping which extends above TASK_SIZE (4GB). I'm not sure if these assumptions came about because they were valid with earlier versions of the get_unmapped_area() path, or if it was always broken. Nonetheless this patch fixes the logic, and removes the crash. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This reverts commit b0268726, which has been linked to several problem reports with IO-APIC and the timer. Machines either don't boot because the timer doesn't happen, or we get double timer interrupts because we end up double-routing the timer irq through multiple interfaces. See for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/16/101 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/3/9 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7789 about some of the discussion. Patches to fix this cleanup exist (and have been confirmed to work fine at least for some of the affected cases) and we'll revisit it for 2.6.21, but this late in the -rc series we're better off just reverting the incomplete commit that caused the problems.

the patch inlined below restores proper time accounting for PNX8550-based boards. It also gets rid of #ifdef in the generic code which becomes unnecessary then. It's functionally identical to the previous patch with the same name but it has minor comments from Atsushi and Sergei taken into account.

There's a serious typo in the function: arch/mips/pci/ops-pnx8550.c:write_config_byte() The parameter passed to the function config_access() is PCI_CMD_CONFIG_READ instead of PCI_CMD_CONFIG_WRITE. This renders any attempts to write a single byte to the PCI configuration registers useless. This problem does not exist for write_config_word() nor write_config_dword(). This problem has been there since kernel v2.6.17 and is still there as of kernel v2.6.19.1. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Current sched_clock() implementations on ARM cause unbootable kernels with PRINTK_TIME support enabled. To avoid this, provide a basic printk_clock() implementation which avoids sched_clock() being called before the page tables have been set up. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into kernel space. However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to userspace. This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data corruption for direct-IO. This resolves debian bug #402876 Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Since get_user_pages() may be used with processes other than the current process and calls flush_anon_page(), flush_anon_page() has to cope in some way with non-current processes. It may not be appropriate, or even desirable to flush a region of virtual memory cache in the current process when that is different to the process that we want the flush to occur for. Therefore, pass the vma into flush_anon_page() so that the architecture can work out whether the 'vmaddr' is for the current process or not. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

If the kernel attempts to execute a CP1 or CP2 instruction and it aborts, and a FP emulator is not loaded, we try to return as if to a user context, instead of the proper kernel context. Since the fault came from kernel mode, we must use the kernel return paths. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This reverts commit 59287c09. Hugh Dickins reports that it causes random failures on x86 with SuSE 10.2, and points out "Isn't that randomization, anywhere from 0x10000 to ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, sure to place the ET_DYN from time to time just where the comment says it's trying to avoid? I assume that somehow results in the error reported." (where the comment in question is the existing comment in the source code about mmap/brk clashes).

On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel unaligned access errors. If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process. Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this.

Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago: ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new(). So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file, and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment, ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head. I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data, if later inode page cache will be used. The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

These days, if you swapoff when there isn't enough memory, OOM killer gives "BUG: scheduling while atomic" and the machine hangs: badness() needs to do its PF_SWAPOFF return after the task_unlock (tasklist_lock is also held here, so p isn't going to be freed: PF_SWAPOFF might get turned off at any moment, but that doesn't really matter).

Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones before touching pagesets. However, __drain_pages does not do so, This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug. Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot pagesets. Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap. If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages does not first check for an unpopulated zone. If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will ignore the unpopulated zone. So the pageset pointers will still be NULL. If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

The HPT37x driver very carefully handles DMA completions and the needed fixups are done on pci registers 0x50 and 0x52. This is unfortunate because the actual registers are 0x50 and 0x54. Fixing this offset cures the second channel problems reported. Secondly there are some problems with the HPT370 and certain ATA drives. The filter code however only filters ATAPI devices due to a reversed type check.
