On platforms that have __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW set and want to implement lock validator support there's a bug in rq->lock handling: in this case we dont 'carry over' the runqueue lock into another task - but still we did a spinlock_release() of it. Fix this by making the spinlock_release() in context_switch() dependent on !__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW. (Reported by Ralf Baechle on MIPS, which has __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW. This fixes a lockdep-internal BUG message on such platforms.) Signed-off-by:

- rename EXPORTed gpio vtables from {scx200,pc8736x}_access to _gpio_ops new name is much closer to the vtable-name struct nsc_gpio_ops, should be clearer. Also rename the _fops vtable var to _fileops to better disambiguate it from the gpio vtable. Signed-off-by:Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

drops gpio_set_high, gpio_set_low from the nsc_gpio_ops vtable. While we can't drop them from scx200_gpio (or can we?), we dont need them for new users of the exported vtable; gpio_set(1), gpio_set(0) work fine. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a potential deadlock. The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use spin_lock_irqsave(). In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock, which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.

On systems with block devices containing a slash (virtual dasd, cciss, etc), reiserfs will fail to initialize /proc/fs/reiserfs/<dev> due to it being interpreted as a subdirectory. The generic block device code changes the / to ! for use in the sysfs tree. This patch uses that convention.

Resolve problems seen w/ APM suspend. Due to resume initialization ordering, its possible we could get a timer interrupt before the timekeeping resume() function is called. This patch ensures we don't do any timekeeping accounting before we're fully resumed. (akpm: fixes the machine-freezes-on-APM-resume bug) Signed-off-by:

Remove the scx200_gpio's cdev-array & ksalloc, replacing it with a single static struct cdev, which is sufficient for all the pins. cdev_put is commented out since kernel wont link properly with it, and its apparently not needed. With these patches, this driver continues to work with Chris Boot's leds_48xx driver. Signed-off-by Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

this patch is mostly cleanup of scx200_gpio : - drop #include <linux/config.h> - s/DEVNAME/DRVNAME/ apparently a convention - replace variable num_pins with #define MAX_PINS - s/dev/devid/ to clarify that its a dev_t, not a struct device dev. - move devid = MKDEV(major,0) into branch where its needed. 2 minor 'changes' : - reduced MAX_PINS from 64 to 32. Ive never tested other pins, and theyre all multiplexed with other functions, some of which may be in use on my soekris 4801, so I dont know what testing should yield. - +EXPORT_SYMBOL(scx200_access); This exposes the driver's vtable, which another driver can use along with #include <linux/nsc_gpio.h>, to manipulate a gpio-pin.

Christoph Hellwig: open_softirq just enables a softirq. The softirq array is statically allocated so to add a new one you would have to patch the kernel. So there's no point to keep this export at all as any user would have to patch the enum in include/linux/interrupt.h anyway. Signed-off-by:

Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk options. I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same thing for their automated test setups. The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even moreso).

There's no excuse for userspace abusing this kernel header -- the kernel's headers are not intended to provide a library of helper routines for userspace. Using <asm/io.h> from userspace is broken on most architectures anyway. Just say 'no'. Signed-off-by:

This isn't suitable for userspace to see -- the kernel headers are not a random library of stuff for userspace; they're only there to define the kernel<->user ABI for system libraries and tools. Anything which _was_ abusing asm/atomic.h from userspace was probably broken anyway -- as it often didn't even give atomic operation. Signed-off-by:

Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out right. A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.) [bunk@stusta.de: build fix] Signed-off-by:

On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their __copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep(). Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics. That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch. This makes that dependency explicit, and allows the code to build. What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the voyager subarch under those harsh conditions. Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove the need to disable io_apics and this dependency. Signed-off-by:

There is a race condition that showed up in a threaded JIT environment. The situation is that a process with a JIT code page forks, so the page is marked read-only, then some threads are created in the child. One of the threads attempts to add a new code block to the JIT page, so a copy-on-write fault is taken, and the kernel allocates a new page, copies the data, installs the new pte, and then calls lazy_mmu_prot_update() to flush caches to make sure that the icache and dcache are in sync. Unfortunately, the other thread runs right after the new pte is installed, but before the caches have been flushed. It tries to execute some old JIT code that was already in this page, but it sees some garbage in the i-cache from the previous users of the new physical page. Fix: we must make the caches consistent before installing the pte. This is an ia64 only fix because lazy_mmu_prot_update() is a no-op on all other architectures. Signed-off-by:
