618febd678 [PARISC] Fix the alloc_slabmgmt panic
Fix the alloc_slabmgmt panic

Hopefully this should also fix a lot of other intermittent kernel bugs.

The problem has been around since 2.6.9-rc2-pa6 when we allowed
floating point registers to be used in kernel code.  The essence of
the problem is that gcc prefers to use floating point for integer
divides and multiples.  Further, it can rely on the values in the no
clobber fp regs being correct across a function call.  Unfortunately,
our task switch function only saves the integer no clobber registers,
not the fp ones, so if gcc makes a function call to any function in
the kernel which could sleep, the values it is relying on in any no
clobber floating point register may be lost.  In the case of
alloc_slabmgmt, the value of the page offset is being stored in %fr12
across a call to kmem_getpages(), which sleeps if no pages are
available.  Thus, the offset can be trashed and the slab code can end
up with a completely bogus address leading to corruption.

Kudos to Randolph who came up with the program to trip this problem at
will and thus allowed it to be tracked and fixed.

3499495205 [PARISC] Use work queue in LED/LCD driver instead of tasklet.
2.6.12-rc1-pa6 use work queue in LED/LCD driver instead of tasklet.

Main advantage is it allows use of msleep() in the led_LCD_driver to
"atomically" perform two MMIO writes (CMD, then DATA).
Lead to nice cleanup of the main led_work_func() and led_LCD_driver().

Signed-off-by: Randolph Chung <tausq@parisc-linux.org>

fix ext3 performance - ext2_find_next_zero() was culprit.
Kudos to jejb for pointing out the the possibility that ext2_test_bit
and ext2_find_next_zero() may in fact not be enumerating bits in
the bitmap because of endianess. Took sparc64 implementation and
adapted it to our tree. I suspect the real problem is ffz() wants
an unsigned long and was getting garbage in the top half of the
unsigned int. Not confirmed but that's what I suspect.

Fixup bitops.h to use volatile for *_bit() ops

Based on this email thread:
       http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108826637900003

In a nutshell:
        *_bit() want use of volatile.
        __*_bit() are "relaxed" and don't use spinlock or volatile.

other minor changes:
o replaces hweight64() macro with alias to generic_hweight64() (Joel Soete)
o cleanup ext2* macros so (a) it's obvious what the XOR magic is about
  and (b) one version that works for both 32/64-bit.
o replace 2 uses of CONFIG_64BIT with __LP64__. bitops.h used both.
  I think header files that might go to user space should use
  something userspace will know about (__LP64__).

281dd25cdc [PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator.  But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages().  We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.

With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

3359b54c8c [PATCH] Handle spurious page fault for hugetlb region
The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted.  At the time of mmap of
hugepages, we populate the new PTEs.  It is possible that HW has already
cached some of the unused PTEs internally.  These stale entries never
get a chance to be purged in existing control flow.

This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages.  Check if
a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it.
We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch
specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that
need it).

lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation.  In the
process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding
the ctx_lock spinlock.  Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent
retries won't be attempted for a given iocb.  Cancel has other problems and
has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it.  So
for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will

b24d18aa74 [PATCH] list: add missing rcu_dereference on first element
It seems that all the list_*_rcu primitives are missing a memory barrier
on the very first dereference.  For example,

#define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \
	for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \
		pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))

It will go something like:

	pos = (head)->next

	prefetch(pos->next)

	pos != (head)

	do stuff

We're missing a barrier here.

	pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)

		fetch pos->next

		barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next)

		store pos

Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale.
In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on
list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.

So here is a patch to make sure that we have a barrier for the first
element in the list.

d8e998c58a [PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TB
Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...

This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase.  It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

cbd27b8ced [PATCH] ppc32: Fix timekeeping
Interestingly enough, ppc32 had broken timekeeping for ages...  It
worked, but probably drifted a bit more than could be explained by the
actual bad precision of the timebase calibration.  We discovered that
recently when somebody figured out that the common code was using
CLOCK_TICK_RATE to correct the timekeeing, and ppc32 had a completely
bogus value for it.

This patch turns it into something saner.  Probably not as good as doing
something based on the actual timebase frequency precision but I'll
leave that sort of math to others.  This at least makes it better for
the common HZ values.

This is required to avoid unloading a module that has active timewait
sockets, such as DCCP.

3392315375 [NETFILTER] ctnetlink: allow userspace to change TCP state
This patch adds the ability of changing the state a TCP connection. I know
that this must be used with care but it's required to provide a complete
conntrack creation via conntrack_netlink. So I'll document this aspect on
the upcoming docs.

a051a8f730 [NETFILTER]: Use only 32bit counters for CONNTRACK_ACCT
Initially we used 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, since we
had no event mechanism to tell userspace that our counters are about to
overflow.  With nfnetlink_conntrack, we now have such a event mechanism and
thus can save 16bytes per connection.

e1c73b78e3 [NETFILTER] ctnetlink: add one nesting level for TCP state
To keep consistency, the TCP private protocol information is nested
attributes under CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP. This way the sequence of attributes to
access the TCP state information looks like here below:

CTA_PROTOINFO
CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP
CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE

instead of:

CTA_PROTOINFO
CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE

b3a91d037a [NETFILTER] nat: remove bogus structure member
When 'rustynat' was merged in 2.6.12, the use of the "helper" pointer of
struct ipt_nat_info was obsoleted, but the pointer not removed from the
struct.

This patch removes the pointer, thereby yet again shrinking struct
ip_conntrack.

ebe0bbf06c [NETFILTER] nfnetlink: use highest bit of nfa_type to indicate nested TLV
As Henrik Nordstrom pointed out, all our efforts with "split endian" (i.e.
host byte order tags, net byte order values) are useless, unless a parser
can determine whether an attribute is nested or not.

This patch steals the highest bit of nfattr.nfa_type to indicate whether
the data payload contains a nested nfattr (1) or not (0).

This will break userspace compatibility, but luckily no kernel with
nfnetlink was released so far.
