Patch from John Bowler
Fix for a compiler warning, this wasn't apparent in 2.6.12, I
believe the compiler options have been changed (somewhere) so
that passing a (void*) to a (u32) argument is now warned.
This accounts for the majority of the warnings in my builds of
the 2.6.14 kernel for NSLU2.
The patch changes pointer parameters declared as u32 to be
declared as either, for read parameters:
const volatile void __iomem *
and for write parameters:
volatile void __iomem *

This patch merges the ppc32 and ppc64 versions of futex.h, essentially
by taking the ppc64 version as the powerpc version. The old ppc32

always returned -ENOSYS), so FUTEX_WAKE_OP would not work on ppc32.
In fact the ppc64 version of this function is almost suitable for

This patch adds a microcode loader for the ixp2000 architecture.
The ixp2000 is an xscale-based CPU with a number of additional small
CPUs ('microengines') on die that can be programmed to do various
things. Depending on the ixp2000 model, there are between 2 and 16
microengines.
This code provides an API that allows configuring the microengines,
loading code into them, and starting and stopping them and reading
out a number of status registers, and is used by the microengine

Here's a revised version. This re-introduces the set_bits() function
from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists
on no other arch). In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code
(but not on pSeries).
- We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit)
instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S
- ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of
test_and_*_bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync". The merged version
uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient.
- The ppc64 versions of then minix_*() bitmap functions have changed
semantics. Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian
(that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word).
On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian. As far
as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess
no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64.
- On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer
inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64).
- For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to
the merged bitops. What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first
place, I have no idea.
- The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction
on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32.
- For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the
arch/ppc/Makefile. This in turn requires some changes to
arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc.

This patch merges ppc32 and ppc64 versions of ipcbuf.h. The merge is
essentially trivial, since the structure defined in each version was

In fact, the old versions probably should have been including that

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of

The attached patch adds LSM hooks for key management facilities. The notable
changes are:
(1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security
modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which
programs may access a key.
(2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key.
(3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules;
the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out.
(4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather
than a boolean value.
(5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of
attributes (UID, GID, permissions).
Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation,
but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based
on the permission request bits.
Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both
CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.
This should be applied on top of the patch ensubjected:

This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset
memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task,
without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation.
If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the
root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a
task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed
does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below,
rebind_policy() is not even called.
When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the
essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set
of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to
manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the
essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs
memory placement within its allowed cpuset.
However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the
kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering.
This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the
same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes.
Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job
need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can
be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one
task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an
external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in
the context of the task using it.
However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when
a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a
refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that
is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs
to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the
tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing
cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The
bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative
calculations.
This patch leaves open a couple of issues:
1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies:
These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to
the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs,
which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such
a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within
that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes
outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will
provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that
patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies
across a job migration.
2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space:
This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using
system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More
work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means
to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current
API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across
the kernel-user boundary.

In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be
mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while
preserving cpuset-relative offset.
For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to
nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be
moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.)
As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide
the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual
cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
This patch provides that. These operations are termed 'remap' operations.
Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported.

Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores.
The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel.
Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first
acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to
cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual
changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code
that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a
global exclusive lock.
The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is
allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and
only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(),
where the double tripping had been possible.
This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because
obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such
attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing
cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done
while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while
ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.)
This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to
guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race
conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never
seen these races fail in any use or test.
See further the comments in the code.

In the recent timer rework we lost the check for an add_timer() of an
already-pending timer. That check was useful for networking, so put it back.

Make the pid argument a long as on every other arcihtecture. Despite pid_t
beeing a 32bit type even on 64bit parisc this is not an ABI change due to
the parisc calling conventions. And even if it did it wouldn't matter too
much because 64bit userspace on parisc is in an embrionic stage.

This lock is used in sigqueue_free(), but it is always equal to
current->sighand->siglock, so we don't need to keep it in the struct
sigqueue.

Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead
in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead,
file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object.
The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u
The callers are changed so that f_rcuhead becomes f_u.fu_rcuhead and f_list
becomes f_u.f_list

Remove timer_list.magic and associated debugging code.
I originally added this when a spinlock was added to timer_list - this meant
that an all-zeroes timer became illegal and init_timer() was required.
That spinlock isn't even there any more, although timer.base must now be
initialised.
I'll keep this debugging code in -mm.

Removed some more references to check_region().
I checked these changes into the 'checkreg' branch of
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git
The only valid references remaining are in:
drivers/scsi/advansys.c
drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c
drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.c
sound/oss/pss.c
Remove last vestiges of ide_check_region()
drivers/char/specialix: trim trailing whitespace
drivers/char/specialix: eliminate use of check_region()
Remove outdated and unused references to check_region()
[sound oss] remove check_region() usage from cs4232, wavfront
[netdrvr eepro] trim trailing whitespace
[netdrvr eepro] remove check_region() usage

Create a macro shift_right() that avoids the numerous ugly conditionals in the
NTP code that look like:
if(a < 0)
b = -(-a >> shift);
else
b = a >> shift;
Replacing it with:
b = shift_right(a, shift);
This should have zero effect on the logic, however it should probably have
a bit of testing just to be sure.
Also replace open-coded min/max with the macros.

Every user of init_timer() also needs to initialize ->function and ->data
fields. This patch adds a simple setup_timer() helper for that.
The schedule_timeout() is patched as an example of usage.
