From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> This patch uses enum dma_data_direction for the vio DMA api routines. This allows us to remove some include of linux/pci.h. Also missed some pci_dma_mapping_error uses.

From: Olof Johansson <olof@austin.ibm.com> RTAS on IBM pSeries runs in real mode, so all pointers being passed in to it need to be in low memory. There's two places in the RAS code that passes in pointers to items on the stack, which might end up being above the limit. Below patch resolves this by creating a buffer in BSS + a lock for serialization. There's no reason to worry about contention on the lock, since rtas_call() also serializes on a single spinlock and this is an infrequent code path in the first place.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> On PPC64, to deal with the restrictions imposed by the PPC MMU's segment design, hugepages are only allowed to be mapping in two fixed address ranges, one 2-3G (for use by 32-bit processes) and one 1-1.5T (for use in 64-bit processes). This is quite limiting, particularly for 32-bit processes which want to use a lot of large page memory. This patch relaxes this restriction, and allows any of the low 16 segments (i.e. those below 4G) to be individually switched over to allow hugepage mappings (provided the segment does not already have any normal page mappings). The 1-1.5T fixed range for 64-bit processes remains.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> This is the iSeries virtual ethernet driver. David Gibson has taken you previous comments and hopefully sitisfied most of them. The driver has also undergone some more testing which showed up some bugs which have been addressed. Unfortunately, Anton is about to submit some other patches of mine which will sightly comflict with this. I will send a patch shortly that will (hopefully) fix that.

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> This patch from Julie DeWandel exports the symbol itLpNaca on iSeries machines, for the use of the viodasd driver.

Andrew Morton authored
From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> This patch from Julie DeWandel makes CONFIG_VT default to N on iSeries machines which are using the iSeries virtual console driver viocons.c. The VT console and the viocons code can't coexist because they use the same tty numbers, that is, viocons supplies /dev/tty1. Without this patch the user has to figure out somehow that s/he has to turn on CONFIG_EMBEDDED in order to be able to turn off CONFIG_VT, which is really very non-obvious.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Found this again while looking at hugepage extensions. Haven't actually had it bite yet - the race is small and the other bug will never be triggered in 32-bit processes, and the function is rarely called on 64-bit processes. This patch fixes two bugs in the (same part of the) PPC64 hugepage code. First the method we were using to free stale PTE pages was not safe with some recent changes (race condition). BenH has fixed this to work in the new way. Second, we were not checking for a valid PGD entry before dereferencing the PMD page when scanning for stale PTE page pointers.

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> The PPC64 version of is_aligned_hugepage_range() is buggy. It is supposed to test not only that the given range is hugepage aligned, but that it lies within the address space allowed for hugepages. We were checking only that the given range intersected the hugepage range, not that it lay entirely within it. This patch fixes the problem and changes the name of some macros to make it less likely to make that misunderstanding again.

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> This patch fixes si_addr on some segfaults in 64 bits mode, it used to be bogus (address not passed to do_page_fault by the asm code after a failure to set an SLB entry).

Andrew Morton authored
From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> This addresses the issue with get_wchan() that the various functions acting as scheduling-related primitives are not, in fact, contiguous in the text segment. It creates an ELF section for scheduling primitives to be placed in, and places currently-detected (i.e. skipped during stack decoding) scheduling primitives and others like io_schedule() and down(), which are currently missed by get_wchan() code, into this section also. The net effects are more reliability of get_wchan()'s results and the new ability, made use of by this code, to arbitrarily place scheduling primitives in the source code without disturbing get_wchan()'s accuracy. Suggestions by Arnd Bergmann and Matthew Wilcox regarding reducing the invasiveness of the patch were incorporated during prior rounds of review. I've at least tried to sweep all arches in this patch.

From: Armin Schindler <armin@melware.de> With this patch the ISDN kernel CAPI code uses a per application workqueue with proper locking to prevent message re-ordering due to the fact a workqueue may run on another CPU at the same time. Also some locks for internal data is added. Removed global recv_queue work, use per application workqueue. Added proper locking mechanisms for application, controller and application workqueue function. Increased max. number of possible applications and controllers.

The race is that con_close() can sleep, and drops the BKL while tty->count==1. But another thread can come into init_dev() and will take a new ref against the tty and start using it. But con_close() doesn't notice that new ref and proceeds to null out tty->driver_data while someone else is using the resurrected tty. So the patch serialises con_close() against init_dev() with tty_sem. Here's a test app which reproduced the oops instantly on 2-way. It realy needs to be run against all tty-capable devices. /* * Run this against a tty which nobody currently has open, such as /dev/tty9 */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <linux/kd.h> void doit(char *filename) { int fd,x; fd = open(filename, O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); exit(1); } ioctl(fd, KDKBDREP, &x); close(fd); } main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char *filename = argv[1]; for ( ; ; ) doit(filename); }

Remove the down_tty_sem() and up_tty_sem() and replace them with open-coded up() and down(). This is an equivalent transformation. I assume these functions were created to open the possibility of per-tty semaphores at some time in the future. But the code which is protected by this lock deals with two tty's at the same time, and the next patch will need to release the lock after the tty has been destroyed.

con_open() is called on every open of the tty, even if the tty is already all set up. We only need to do that initialisation if the tty is being set up for the very first time (tty->count == 1). So do that: check for tty_count == 1 inside console_sem() and if so, bypass all the unnecessary initialisation. Note that this patch reintroduces the con_close()-vs-init_dev() race+oops. This is because that oops is accidentally prevented because when it happens, con_open() reinstalls tty->driver_data even when tty->count > 1. But that's bogus, and when the race happens we end up running vcs_make_devfs() and vcs_remove_devfs() against the same console at the same time, producing indeterminate results. So the race needs to be fixed again, for real.

From: Olof Johansson <olof@austin.ibm.com> It's currently a boolean, but that means that system_running goes to zero again when shutting down. So we then use code (in the page allocator) which is only designed to be used during bootup - it is marked __init. So we need to be able to distinguish early boot state from late shutdown state. Rename system_running to system_state and give it the three appropriate states.
