Use the set_disk_ro() API when the backing file is read-only, to mark the disk read-only, during the ->open(). The current hack does not work when doing a mount -o remount. Also, mark explicitly the code paths which should no more be triggerable (I've removed the WARN_ON(1) things). They should actually become BUG()s probably but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change works so well. I gave it only some limited testing. Signed-off-by:

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso authored
Use this: .set_page_dirty = __set_page_dirty_nobuffers, We already dropped the inclusion of <linux/buffer_head.h>, and we don't have a backing block device for this FS. "Without having looked at it, I'm sure that hostfs does not use buffer_heads. So setting your ->set_page_dirty a_op to point at __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() is a reasonable thing to do - it'll provide a slight speedup." This speedup is one less spinlock held and one less conditional branch, which isn't bad. Signed-off-by:

Reuse asm-x86-64/unistd.h to build our syscall table, like x86-64 already does. Like for i386, we must add some #defines for all the (right!) changes UML does to x86-64 syscall table. Note: I noted a bogus: [ __NR_sched_yield ] = (syscall_handler_t *) yield, while doing this patch (which could only be a workaround for some strange bug, but I would ignore this possibility). I'm changing this without notice. Signed-off-by:

Fix the moved syscall table for the x86_64 SUBARCH: - redirect __NR_chown and such to versions aware of 32-bit UIDs, - avoid the useless hack for sys_nfsservctl, - use sys_sendfile64 in the table rather than sys_sendfile. - __NR_uselib is sys_ni_syscall on x86_64 (which does not support A.OUT). - __NR_getrlimit is sys_getrlimit, not sys_old_getrlimit Signed-off-by:

Split the i386 entry.S files into entry.S and syscall_table.S which is included in the previous one (so actually there is no difference between them) and use the syscall_table.S in the UML build, instead of tracking by hand the syscall table changes (which is inherently error-prone). We must only insert the right #defines to inject the changes we need from the i386 syscall table (for instance some different function names); also, we don't implement some i386 syscalls, as ioperm(), nor some TLS-related ones (yet to provide).

We want to make possible, for the user, to enable the i586 AES implementation. This requires a restructure. - Add a CONFIG_UML_X86 to notify that we are building a UML for i386. - Rename CONFIG_64_BIT to CONFIG_64BIT as is used for all other archs - Tell crypto/Kconfig that UML_X86 is as good as X86 - Tell it that it must exclude not X86_64 but 64BIT, which will give the same results. - Tell kbuild to descend down into arch/i386/crypto/ to build what's needed.

Old versions of sed from 1998 (predating the first release of gcc 2.95, but still in use by debian stable) don't understand the single-line version of the sed append command. Since newer versions of sed still understand the... ahem, "vintage" form of the command, change our code to use that. Signed-off-by:

This trick is useless, because sys_ni.c will handle this problem by itself, like it does even on UML for other syscalls. Also, it does not provide the NFSD syscall when NFSD is compiled as a module, which is a big problem. Signed-off-by:

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Prevent the kernel from oopsing during the extable sorting, as it can do now, because the extable is in the readonly section of the binary. Jeff says: The exception table turned RO in 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 for some reason. Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary. Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either disabled or enabled. The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup, after printing this simple output: I've verified, by binary search on the BitKeeper repository (synced up as of 2.6.12-rc2), starting from the range 2.6.11-2.6.12-rc1, that this bug shows up on BitKeeper revisions in the range [@1.1994.11.168,+inf), i.e. starting from this: [PATCH] lib/sort: Replace insertion sort in exception tables Since UML does not use the exception table, it's likely that insertion sort didn't happen to write anything on the table.

Patch solves VM86 interrupt emulation deadlock on SMP systems. The VM86 interrupt emulation has been heavily tested and works well on UP systems after last update, but it seems to deadlock when we have used it on SMP/HT boxes now. It seems, that disable_irq() cannot be called from interrupts, because it waits until disabled interrupt handler finishes (/kernel/irq/manage.c:synchronize_irq():while(IRQ_INPROGRESS);). This blocks one CPU after another. Solved by use disable_irq_nosync. There is the second problem. If IRQ source is fast, it is possible, that interrupt is sometimes processed and re-enabled by the second CPU, before it is disabled by the first one, but negative IRQ disable depths are not allowed. The spinlocking and disabling IRQs over call to disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq is the only solution found reliable till now. Signed-off-by:

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32. With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128. The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820). As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect on bootloader-setup code interface. Patch covers both i386 and x86-64. Tested on: * grub booting bzImage * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled * pxeboot of bzImage Side-effect: bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue, fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement. Signed-off-by:

The recent support for K8 multicore was misported from x86-64 to i386, due to an unnecessary inconsistency between the CPUID code. Sure, there is are no x86-64 VIA chips yet, but it should happen eventually. This patch fixes the i386 bug as well as makes x86-64 match i386 in the handing of the CPUID array. Signed-off-by:

A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing. I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails out. On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is being done too early. I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me. Signed-off-by:

The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e., movl (%eax),%ds movl %ds,(%eax) To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a 16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66, mov (%eax),%ds mov %ds,(%eax) should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support movw (%eax),%ds movw %ds,(%eax) without the 0x66 prefix. I am enclosing patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels here. The resulting kernel binaries should be unchanged as before, with old and new assemblers, if gcc never generates memory access for unsigned gsindex; asm volatile("movl %%gs,%0" : "=g" (gsindex)); If gcc does generate memory access for the code above, the upper bits in gsindex are undefined and the new assembler doesn't allow it.

On our raw spinlocks, we currently have an attempt at the lock, and if we do not get it we enter a spin loop. This spinloop will likely continue for awhile, and we pridict likely. Shouldn't we predict that we will get out of the loop so our next instructions are already prefetched. Even when we miss because the lock is still held, it won't matter since we are waiting anyways. I did a couple quick benchmarks, but the results are inconclusive. 16-way 690 running specjbb with original code # ./specjbb 3000 16 1 1 19 30 120 ... Valid run, Score is 59282 16-way 690 running specjbb with unlikely code # ./specjbb 3000 16 1 1 19 30 120 ... Valid run, Score is 59541 I saw a smaller increase on a JS20 (~1.6%) JS20 specjbb w/ original code # ./specjbb 400 2 1 1 19 30 120 ... Valid run, Score is 20460 JS20 specjbb w/ unlikely code # ./specjbb 400 2 1 1 19 30 120 ... Valid run, Score is 20803 Anton said: Mispredicting the spinlock busy loop also means we slow down the rate at which we do the loads which can be good for heavily contended locks. Note: There are some gcc issues with our default build and branch prediction, but a CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY build should emit them correctly. I'm working with Alan Modra on it now. Signed-off-by:

There were a few issues with the ppc64 noexec support: The 64bit ABI has a non executable stack by default. At the moment 64bit apps require a PT_GNU_STACK section in order to have a non executable stack. Disable the read implies exec workaround on the 64bit ABI. The 64bit toolchain has never had problems with incorrect mmap permissions (the 32bit has, thats why we need to retain the workaround). With these fixes as well as a gcc fix from Alan Modra (that was recently committed) 64bit apps work as expected. Signed-off-by:
