Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_kill_allocating_task', which will automatically kill
the OOM-triggering task instead of scanning through the tasklist to find a
memory-hogging target. This is helpful for systems with an insanely large
number of tasks where scanning the tasklist significantly degrades
performance.

Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting
of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag.
The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the
parent.
This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a
partitioning of a system.
It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched
domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on
one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that
cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other
cpu_exclusive cpusets.
Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the
result.
Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go.
Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no
successful use has been made of this. One real time group did use it to
affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts. They are willing
to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate
the list of isolated CPUs on a running system. They can do without this
present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative.
There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users
accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired
load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the
cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag.
Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was
doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code.
Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they
will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's
behaviour.
Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment. My
(probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a
rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for
defining sched domains is borked. There is no concensus on the
replacement. But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its
continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers
load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the
replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.
This patch flush icache of a page when
new pte has exec bit.
&& new pte has present bit
&& new pte is user's page.
&& (old *ptep is not present
|| new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.
I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".
pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.

cpusets try to ensure that any node added to a cpuset's mems_allowed is
on-line and contains memory. The assumption was that online nodes contained
memory. Thus, it is possible to add memoryless nodes to a cpuset and then add
tasks to this cpuset. This results in continuous series of oom-kill and
apparent system hang.
Change cpusets to use node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] [a.k.a. node_memory_map] in
place of node_online_map when vetting memories. Return error if admin
attempts to write a non-empty mems_allowed node mask containing only
memoryless-nodes.

x86_64 uses 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space. We also
implement the virtual memmap using 2M page table entries. So there is no
additional runtime overhead over FLATMEM, initialisation is slightly more
complex. As FLATMEM still references memory to obtain the mem_map pointer and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a compile time constant, SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP should be
superior.
With this SPARSEMEM becomes the most efficient way of handling virt_to_page,
pfn_to_page and friends for UP, SMP and NUMA on x86_64.

Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.
Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
"lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
to the kernel command line.
It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
usually a valuable clue.

Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.
The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:
ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif

Use _CRS for PCI resource allocation
This patch resolves an issue where incorrect PCI memory and i/o ranges
are being assigned to hotplugged PCI devices on some IBM systems. The
resource mis-allocation not only makes the PCI device unuseable but
often makes the entire system unuseable due to resulting machine checks.
The hotplug capable PCI slots on the affected systems are not located
under a standard P2P bridge but are instead located under PCI root
bridges or subtractive decode P2P bridges. For example, the IBM x3850
contains 2 hotplug capable PCI-X slots and 4 hotplug capable PCIe slots
with the PCI-X slots each located under a PCI root bridge and the PCIe
slots each located under a subtractive decode P2P bridge.
The current i386/x86_64 PCI resource allocation code does not use _CRS
returned resource information. No other resource information source is
available for slots that are not below a standard P2P bridge so
incorrect ranges are being allocated from e820 hole causing the bad
result.
This patch causes the kernel to use _CRS returned resource info. It is
roughly based on a change provided by Matthew Wilcox for the ia64 kernel
in 2005. Due to possible buggy BIOS factor and possible yet to be
discovered kernel issues the function is disabled by default and can be
enabled with pci=use_crs.

On at least ARM (and I'm told MIPS too) dma_free_coherent() has a newish
call context requirement: unlike its dma_alloc_coherent() sibling, it may
not be called with IRQs disabled. (This was new behavior on ARM as of late
2005, caused by ARM SMP updates.) This little surprise can be annoyingly
driver-visible.
Since it looks like that restriction won't be removed, this patch changes
the definition of the API to include that requirement. Also, to help catch
nonportable drivers, it updates the x86 and swiotlb versions to include the
relevant warnings. (I already observed that it trips on the
bus_reset_tasklet of the new firewire_ohci driver.)

Big thanks go to Mathias Kolehmainen for reporting the bug, providing
debug output and testing the patches I sent him to get it working.
The fix was to stop calling ntfs_attr_set() at mount time as that causes
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to be called which on systems with
little memory actually tries to go and balance the dirty pages which tries
to take the s_umount semaphore but because we are still in fill_super()
across which the VFS holds s_umount for writing this results in a
deadlock.
We now do the dirty work by hand by submitting individual buffers. This
has the annoying "feature" that mounting can take a few seconds if the
journal is large as we have clear it all. One day someone should improve
on this by deferring the journal clearing to a helper kernel thread so it
can be done in the background but I don't have time for this at the moment
and the current solution works fine so I am leaving it like this for now.

This patch adds support for the SMSC SCH3112, SCH3114, and SCH3116 Super-I/O

The hardware monitoring features of the SCH311x chips can only be accessed via

This socket option is useful to avoid the annoying bail-out via

With this option, it is possible to size buffers accordingly, e.g.

This implements a SHOULD from RFC 4340, 7.5.4:
"To protect against denial-of-service attacks, DCCP implementations SHOULD
impose a rate limit on DCCP-Syncs sent in response to sequence-invalid packets,
such as not more than eight DCCP-Syncs per second."
The rate-limit is maintained on a per-socket basis. This is a more stringent
policy than enforcing the rate-limit on a per-source-address basis and
protects against attacks with forged source addresses.
Moreover, the mechanism is deliberately kept simple. In contrast to
xrlim_allow(), bursts of Sync packets in reply to sequence-invalid packets
are not supported. This foils such attacks where the receipt of a Sync
triggers further sequence-invalid packets. (I have tested this mechanism against
xrlim_allow algorithm for Syncs, permitting bursts just increases the problems.)
In order to keep flexibility, the timeout parameter can be set via sysctl; and
the whole mechanism can even be disabled (which is however not recommended).
The algorithm in this patch has been improved with regard to wrapping issues
thanks to a suggestion by Arnaldo.
Commiter note: Rate limited the step 6 DCCP_WARN too, as it says we're

Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver
for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs. The
same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip. This new version is
designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to
probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer.
This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in
drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac). The
old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself
reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck).
This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning
up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging. Specifically:
- Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API.
Axon needs this.
- Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general
probing code for of_platform devices. The dependencies here between
EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated. At present, it usually
works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the
EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices
themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.

This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for multiple targets, independent of
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC -- this is useful even in the default case and
(including the infrastructure introduced in previous patches) doesn't really
add too many bytes to module text. All the complexity (and size) comes with
the dynamic reconfigurability / userspace interface patch, and so it's
plausible users may want to keep this enabled but that disabled (say to avoid
a dependency on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS too).
Also update documentation to mention the use of ";" separator to specify
multiple logging targets in the boot/module option string.
Brief overview:
We maintain a target_list (and corresponding lock). Get rid of the static
"default_target" and introduce allocation and release functions for our
netconsole_target objects (but keeping sure to preserve previous behaviour
such as default values). During init_netconsole(), ";" is used as the
separator to identify multiple target specifications in the boot/module option
string. The target specifications are parsed and netpolls setup. During
exit, the target_list is torn down and all items released.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

The way the current CPM binding describes available multi-user (a.k.a.
dual-ported) RAM doesn't work well when there are multiple free regions,
and it doesn't work at all if the region doesn't begin at the start of
the muram area (as the hardware needs to be programmed with offsets into
this area). The latter situation can happen with SMC UARTs on CPM2, as its
parameter RAM is relocatable, u-boot puts it at zero, and the kernel doesn't
support moving it.
It is now described with a muram node, similar to QE. The current CPM
binding is sufficiently recent (i.e. never appeared in an official release)
that compatibility with existing device trees is not an issue.
The code supporting the new binding is shared between cpm1 and cpm2, rather
than remain separated. QE should be able to use this code as well, once
minor fixes are made to its device trees.

The localbus node is used to describe devices that are connected via a chip
select or similar mechanism. The advantages over placing the devices under
the root node are that it can be probed without probing other random things
under the root, and that the description of which chip select a given device
uses can be used to set up mappings if the firmware failed to do so in a
useful manner.
cuboot-pq2 is updated to match the binding; previously, it called itself
chipselect rather than localbus, and used phandle linkage between the
actual bus node and the control node (the current agreement is to simply use
the fully-qualified address of the control registers, and ignore the overlap
with the IMMR node).

This introduces a new device binding for the CPM and other devices on
these boards. Some of the changes include:
1. Proper namespace scoping for Freescale compatibles and properties.
2. Use compatible rather than things like device_type and model
to determine which particular variant of a device is present.
3. Give the drivers the relevant CPM command word directly, rather than
requiring it to have a lookup table based on device-id, SCC v. SMC, and
CPM version.
4. Specify the CPCR and the usable DPRAM region in the CPM's reg property.
Boards that do not require the legacy bindings should select
CONFIG_PPC_CPM_NEW_BINDING to enable the of_platform CPM devices. Once
all existing boards are converted and tested, the config option can
become default y to prevent new boards from using the old model. Once
arch/ppc is gone, the config option can be removed altogether.

Use a separate platform device and driver ("thinkpad_hwmon") to attach
hwmon attributes and class, and add a name attribute of "thinkpad" to
it, which defines the hwmon device name for libsensors4.
This makes thinkpad-acpi compatible with libsensors4 from lm-sensors, and
the platform driver and device split will make it much easier to separate
hwmon functionality into its own module later on.

Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because
it would create a legacy we don't want to support.
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is
now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to
the ACPI core.
Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different
strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the
need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games. And it arrived
before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline
kernel, even, which is Good.
This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that
will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel
versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace
capabilities:
Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a
way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only
the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi
input devices.
It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use
both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event
interface, regardless of any module parameter.
The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with
userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input
devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface. To use this
mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2
module parameter.
The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through
sysfs, as well. thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not
support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace
to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs. This capability
will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there.

thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
in all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature
active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
up to a higher temperature. However, it will not allow you to
raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
trip point (if there is one). Lowering this trip point may
kick in the fan sooner.
Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
if temperature frequently crosses C.

thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT
ACPI thermal zone trip-points. They will be marked
as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points.
There are two cases where this option is used:
1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point.
If your system fan is spinning at full speed,
be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust.
Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked.
Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated,
has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning.
Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP.
Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option.
Defaults are generally the most conservative.
If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/
has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug.
WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your
hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system.
Note that this refers to all system components,
including the disk drive.
2. Working around a cool system crossing critical
trip point due to erroneous temperature reading.
Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n
There is known potential for conflict between the
the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS.
If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org

Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify

"thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points
for all ACPI thermal zones.
"thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius,
overrides all existing passive trip points
for all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.psv is checked at module load time,
and in response to trip-point change events.
Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone
temperature change events near the new trip-point,
then it will not be noticed. To force your custom
trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling:
eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes.
Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked,
it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP),
that is unrelated to _TZP.
WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point
may result in increased running temperature and
shorter hardware lifetime on some systems.
Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object
recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone.
If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used.
If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that
the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate.
The minimum period is 30 seconds.
The maximum period is 5 minutes.
(note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds,
so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds)
If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the
thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency".
However, common industry practice is:
1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP
2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones
Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to
provoke thermal events when necessary, and
the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-)
There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect
common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling.
The Linux kernel already follows this practice --
thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero.
But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems
which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing
thermal events. Indeed, some Linux distributions still
set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason.
But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency
into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency
files, here we simply document and expose the already
existing module parameter to do the same at system level,
to simplify debugging those broken platforms.
Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only.

Revert 7e92b4fc34. It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)
This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."
It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something
that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel
platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,
and your box won't have a serial port either! :)
I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to
rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why
risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?
It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
