Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the nanosecond et al. fields added. So like Alpha I have to cons up a struct stat64 to get this stuff. I'll work on the glibc bits soon. Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc compat stat64 syscalls. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This adds 32-bit compatibility for mounting an NFSv4 mount on a 64-bit kernel (such as happens with PPC64). The problem is that the mount data for the NFS4 mount process includes auxilliary data pointers, probably because the NFS4 mount data may conceivably exceed PAGE_SIZE in size - thus breaking against the hard limit imposed by sys_mount().

This fixes a deadlock on the dcache lock detected during testing at IBM by moving the logging of the current executable information from the SELinux avc_audit function to audit_log_exit (via an audit_log_task_info helper) for processing upon syscall exit. For consistency, the patch also removes the logging of other task-related information from avc_audit, deferring handling to audit_log_exit instead. This allows simplification of the avc_audit code, allows the exe information to be obtained more reliably, always includes the comm information (useful for scripts), and avoids including bogus task information for checks performed from irq or softirq.

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable. All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm(). This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we copy in/out the ptrace request data. Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is: 1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different color than userspace does. 2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus. Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace() request, and that was beyond stupid. Signed-off-by: David S.

SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which we copied. If the addr argument is something other than 1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that value is. This is different from every other Linux architecture, which don't do anything with the addr and data args. This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64. There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other platforms do. Signed-off-by: David S.

This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes forever to just walk through the page tables because of all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64. With this change it takes only a second or so. Signed-off-by: David S.

This reverts a fs/char_dev.c patch that was merged into BK on March 3. The problem is that it breaks things ... __register_chrdev_region() has a block of code, commented "temporary" for over two years now, which fails rudely during PCMCIA initialization or other register_chrdev() calls, because it doesn't "degrade to linked list". This keeps whole subsystems from working. A real fix to that "temporary" code should be possible, using some better scheme to allocate major numbers, but it's not something I want to spend time on just now.

We have a DID_IMM_RETRY to require a retry at once, but we could do with a DID_REQUEUE to instruct the mid-layer to treat this command in the same manner as QUEUE_FULL or BUSY (i.e. halt the submission until another command returns ... or the queue pressure builds if there are no outstanding commands).

Fix up two drivers that incorrectly were using the old return values for their new-style EH methods and kill off scsi_obsolete.h that defined the constants.

scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose anymore. All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests are always true in abort callbacks. Kill the field. Also, as ->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments above ->serial_number accordingly.

There is a tiny race when de-registering an MD thread, in that the thread could disappear before it is set a SIGKILL, causing send_sig to have problems. This is most easily closed by holding tasklist_lock between enabling the thread to exit (setting ->run to NULL) and telling it to exit. (akpm: ick.

Fix the formatting of some comments in 8250.c, and add a note that the register_serial / unregister_serial shouldn't be used in new code. We do this here in preference to adding to linux/serial.h, since that is used by a number of non-8250 drivers which pretend to be 8250. It is not known whether it would be appropriate to do so.

This fixes the lots-of-fsx-linux-instances-cause-a-slow-leak bug. It's been there since 2.6.6, caused by: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5/2.6.5-mm4/broken-out/jbd-move-locked-buffers.patch That patch moves under-writeout ordered-data buffers onto a separate journal list during commit. It took out the old code which was based on a single list. The old code (necessarily) had logic which would restart I/O against buffers which had been redirtied while they were on the committing transaction's t_sync_datalist list. The new code only writes buffers once, ignoring redirtyings by a later transaction, which is good. But over on the truncate side of things, in journal_unmap_buffer(), we're treating buffers on the t_locked_list as inviolable things which belong to the committing transaction, and we just leave them alone during concurrent truncate-vs-commit. The net effect is that when truncate tries to invalidate a page whose buffers are on t_locked_list and have been redirtied, journal_unmap_buffer() just leaves those buffers alone. truncate will remove the page from its mapping and we end up with an anonymous clean page with dirty buffers, which is an illegal state for a page. The JBD commit will not clean those buffers as they are removed from t_locked_list. The VM (try_to_free_buffers) cannot reclaim these pages. The patch teaches journal_unmap_buffer() about buffers which are on the committing transaction's t_locked_list. These buffers have been written and I/O has completed. We can take them off the transaction and undirty them within the context of journal_invalidatepage()->journal_unmap_buffer(). Acked-by: "Stephen C.
