039b6b3ed8 audit: add spaces on either side of case "..." operator.
Following the programming advice laid down in the gcc manual, make
sure the case "..." operator has spaces on either side.

According to:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Case-Ranges.html#Case-Ranges:

  "Be careful: Write spaces around the ..., for otherwise it may be
parsed wrong when you use it with integer values."

e729aa16b1 Pad irq_desc to internode cacheline size
We noticed a drop in n/w performance due to the irq_desc being cacheline
aligned rather than internode aligned.  We see 50% of expected performance
when two e1000 nics local to two different nodes have consecutive irq
descriptors allocated, due to false sharing.

Note that this patch does away with cacheline padding for the UP case, as
it does not seem useful for UP configurations.

if (down_write_trylock(&mm2->mmap_sem)) {
       ...
       up_write(&mm2->mmap_sem);
}
up_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);

generate a lockdep warning about circular locking dependence.

Call rwsem_acquire() with trylock set to 1.

6672f76a5a kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile time
Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES.  Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.

While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small.  The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes.  This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.

It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be.  This patch does just that.

If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h.  Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice.  However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

04c9167f91 add touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs()
Add touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() to allow the softlockup watchdog
timers on all cpus to be updated.  This is used to prevent sysrq-t from
generating a spurious watchdog message when generating lots of output.

Softlockup watchdogs use sched_clock() as its timebase, which is inherently
per-cpu (at least, when it is measuring unstolen time).  Because of this,
it isn't possible for one CPU to directly update the other CPU's timers,
but it is possible to tell the other CPUs to do update themselves
appropriately.

966812dc98 Ignore stolen time in the softlockup watchdog
The softlockup watchdog is currently a nuisance in a virtual machine, since
the whole system could have the CPU stolen from it for a long period of
time.  While it would be unlikely for a guest domain to be denied timer
interrupts for over 10s, it could happen and any softlockup message would
be completely spurious.

Earlier I proposed that sched_clock() return time in unstolen nanoseconds,
which is how Xen and VMI currently implement it.  If the softlockup
watchdog uses sched_clock() to measure time, it would automatically ignore
stolen time, and therefore only report when the guest itself locked up.
When running native, sched_clock() returns real-time nanoseconds, so the
behaviour would be unchanged.

Note that sched_clock() used this way is inherently per-cpu, so this patch
makes sure that the per-processor watchdog thread initialized its own
timestamp.

it doesn't agree with other irqactions on the IRQF_PERCPU flag.  Don't check

6e453a6751 Add support for deferrable timers
Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally
when system is busy.  But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to
service this timer), when CPU is idle.  Instead, this timer will be
serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable
timer.

The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when
CPU is idle.  If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until
next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer
event for that routine.  This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy,
allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing
unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption.

This patch:

Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure.  It uses
last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable
timer flag.  __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable
timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up.

This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be
called in place of regular init_timer().

1eeb66a1bb move die notifier handling to common code
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

69331af79c Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag.  The implementation has some flaws though.  The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).

This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead.  This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.

The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.

I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed.  The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.

5096add84b proc: maps protection
The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
information about the memory location and usage of processes.  Issues:

- maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
  kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
- maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
  check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
  process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file.  (For reference
  see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
- a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
  non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.

This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
access to read the maps contents.  To control this protection, the new knob
/proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
the procfs documentation.

753e9c5cd9 Optimize timespec_trunc()
The first thing done by timespec_trunc() is :

  if (gran <= jiffies_to_usecs(1) * 1000)

This should really be a test against a constant known at compile time.

Alas, it isnt. jiffies_to_usec() was unilined so C compiler emits a function
call and a multiply to compute : a CONSTANT.

mov    $0x1,%edi
mov    %rbx,0xffffffffffffffe8(%rbp)
mov    %r12,0xfffffffffffffff0(%rbp)
mov    %edx,%ebx
mov    %rsi,0xffffffffffffffc8(%rbp)
mov    %rsi,%r12
callq  ffffffff80232010 <jiffies_to_usecs>
imul   $0x3e8,%eax,%eax
cmp    %ebx,%eax

This patch reorders kernel/time.c a bit so that jiffies_to_usecs() is defined
before timespec_trunc() so that compiler now generates :

cmp    $0x3d0900,%edx  (HZ=250 on my machine)

This gives a better code (timespec_trunc() becoming a leaf function), and
shorter kernel size as well.

feedback.

- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
  caller to attach it to right process.

- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
  instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
  just incase.

- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of

ee527cd3a2 Use stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver
Replace call_smp_function with stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver.

CPU A has done read_lock(&lock)
CPU B has done write_lock_irq(&lock) and is waiting for A to release the lock.

A third CPU calls call_smp_function and issues the IPI.  CPU A takes CPU
C's IPI.  CPU B is waiting with interrupts disabled and does not see the
IPI.  CPU C is stuck waiting for CPU B to respond to the IPI.

Deadlock.

The solution is to use stop_machine_run instead of call_smp_function
(call_smp_function should not be called in situations where the CPUs may be
suspended).

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

0a31bd5f2b KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation
This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
panic.

476f35348e Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial values
The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init.  However, it
may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel
components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before
smp_init.  So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init()
where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot.

Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they
could take.  If we have accidental users before these values are determined
then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays
to be allocated.  If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste
some memory for early boot users.

7fe3730de7 MSI: arch must connect the irq and the msi_desc
set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call
it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the
reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq.

set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call
required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa.

The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure
it's not going to fail the irq allocation.

Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return
value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else
for failure.

d6dd61c831 [PATCH] x86: PARAVIRT: add hooks to intercept mm creation and destruction
Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm.  Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code.  They are:

arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork

arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
  mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.

The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures.  It's called when an mm is first used.

9684e51cd1 power management: force pm_ops.valid callback to be assigned
This patch changes the docs and behaviour from "all states valid" to "no
states valid" if no .valid callback is assigned.  Users of pm_ops that only
need mem sleep can assign pm_valid_only_mem without any overhead, others
will require more elaborate callbacks.

Now that all users of pm_ops have a .valid callback this is a safe thing to
do and prevents things from getting messy again as they were before.

e8c9c50269 power management: implement pm_ops.valid for everybody
Almost all users of pm_ops only support mem sleep, don't check in .valid and
don't reject any others in .prepare so users can be confused if they check
/sys/power/state, especially when new states are added (these would then
result in s-t-r although they're supposed to be something different).

This patch implements a generic pm_valid_only_mem function that is then
exported for users and puts it to use in almost all existing pm_ops.

fe0c935a6c rework pm_ops pm_disk_mode, kill misuse
This patch series cleans up some misconceptions about pm_ops.  Some users of
the pm_ops structure attempt to use it to stop the user from entering suspend
to disk, this, however, is not possible since the user can always use
"shutdown" in /sys/power/disk and then the pm_ops are never invoked.  Also,
platforms that don't support suspend to disk simply should not allow
configuring SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (read the help text on it, it only selects
suspend to disk and nothing else, all the other stuff depends on PM).

The pm_ops structure is actually intended to provide a way to enter
platform-defined sleep states (currently supported states are "standby" and
"mem" (suspend to ram)) and additionally (if SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is configured)
allows a platform to support a platform specific way to enter low-power mode
once everything has been saved to disk.  This is currently only used by ACPI
(S4).

This patch:

The pm_ops.pm_disk_mode is used in totally bogus ways since nobody really
seems to understand what it actually does.

This patch clarifies the pm_disk_mode description.

It also removes all the arm and sh users that think they can veto suspend to
disk via pm_ops; not so since the user can always do echo shutdown >
/sys/power/disk, they need to find a better way involving Kconfig or such.

ACPI is the only user left with a non-zero pm_disk_mode.

The patch also sets the default mode to shutdown again, but when a new pm_ops
is registered its pm_disk_mode is selected as default, that way the default
stays for ACPI where it is apparently required.

8cdfb29c0c libata/IDE: remove combined mode quirk
Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and
devices found using normal resource reservation methods.

This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration
where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode,
and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode.
Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical
configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM
performance.

For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on
your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers
in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware.

In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA
ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter.

b7aa0bf70c [NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_t
We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.

This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16

I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.

As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)

Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)

Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

98de9e3ba2 [PATCH] fix jiffies clocksource inittime
In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark
the tsc as unstable before it is registered, the TSC would still be
selected and used for a short period of time.  Digging in it looks to be a
result of the mix of the clocksource list changes and my clocksource
initialization changes.

With the -rt tree, using a bad TSC, even for a short period of time can
results in a hang at boot.  I was not able to reproduce this hang w/
mainline, but I'm not completely certain that someone won't trip on it.

This patch resolves the issue by initializing the jiffies clocksource
earlier so a bad TSC won't get selected just because nothing else is yet
registered.

935c631db8 [PATCH] hrtimers: fix reprogramming SMP race
hrtimer_start() incorrectly set the 'reprogram' flag to enqueue_hrtimer(),
which should only be 1 if the hrtimer is queued to the current CPU.

Doing otherwise could result in a reprogramming of the current CPU's
clockevents device, with a timer that is not queued to it - resulting in a
bogus next expiry value.

436ce71638 [PATCH] Revert "swsusp: disable nonboot CPUs before entering platform suspend"
This reverts commit 94985134b7 and
insteads removes the WARN_ON() that caused that commit in the first
place.

The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before
powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON()
in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't
work well on Thomas' system.

So instead, remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:
init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk
in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't
seem to occur in practice.

[ I think we might want to disallow the case of multiple users of that
  mm, or something.  Normally, playing with the current process page
  tables on the current CPU should be fine as long as we don't have
  other threads using those tables at the same time..

  Anyway, not pretty, but better than the warning or the lockup - Linus ]

I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and
finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to

This patch converts time_offset from a long to a s64 which resolves the

The watchdog implementation excludes low res / non continuous
clocksources from being selected as a watchdog reference
unintentionally.

Allow using jiffies/PIT as a watchdog reference as long as no better
clocksource is available. This is necessary to detect TSC breakage on
systems, which have no pmtimer/hpet.

The main goal of the initial patch (preventing to switch to highres/nohz
when no reliable fallback clocksource is available) is still guaranteed
by the checks in clocksource_watchdog().

9501b6cf55 [PATCH] dynticks: fix hrtimer rounding error in next_timer_interrupt
The rework of next_timer_interrupt() fixed the timer wheel bugs, but
invented a rounding error versus the next hrtimer event. This is caused
by the conversion of the hrtimer internal representation to relative
jiffies.

This causes bug #8100:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8100

next_timer_interrupt() returns "now" in such a case and causes the code
in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to trigger the timer softirq, which is
bogus as no timer is due for expiry. This results in an endless context
switching between idle and ksoftirqd until a timer is due for expiry.

Modify the hrtimer evaluation so that, it returns now + 1, when the
conversion results in a delta < 1 jiffie.

It's confirmed to resolve bug #8100

cd05a1f818 [PATCH] clockevents: Fix suspend/resume to disk hangs
I finally found a dual core box, which survives suspend/resume without
crashing in the middle of nowhere. Sigh, I never figured out from the
code and the bug reports what's going on.

The observed hangs are caused by a stale state transition of the clock
event devices, which keeps the RCU synchronization away from completion,
when the non boot CPU is brought back up.

The suspend/resume in oneshot mode needs the similar care as the
periodic mode during suspend to RAM. My assumption that the state
transitions during the different shutdown/bringups of s2disk would go
through the periodic boot phase and then switch over to highres resp.
nohz mode were simply wrong.

Add the appropriate suspend / resume handling for the non periodic
modes.

Doing something like this on a two cpu system

  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

will give me this:

  =======================================================
  [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
  2.6.21-rc2-g562aa1d4-dirty #7
  -------------------------------------------------------
  bash/1282 is trying to acquire lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f17e>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xc6/0x240

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&cpu_base->lock_key#2){.+..}, at: [<000000000005f174>] hrtimer_cpu_notify+0xbc/0x240

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

This happens because we have the following code in kernel/hrtimer.c:

  migrate_hrtimers(int cpu)
  [...]
  old_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu);
  new_base = &get_cpu_var(hrtimer_bases);
  [...]
  spin_lock(&new_base->lock);
  spin_lock(&old_base->lock);

Which means the spinlocks are taken in an order which depends on which cpu
gets shut down from which other cpu. Therefore lockdep complains that there
might be an ABBA deadlock. Since migrate_hrtimers() gets only called on
cpu hotplug it's safe to assume that it isn't executed concurrently on a

The same problem exists in kernel/timer.c: migrate_timers().

As pointed out by Christian Borntraeger one possible solution to avoid
the locking order complaints would be to make sure that the locks are
always taken in the same order. E.g. by taking the lock of the cpu with
the lower number first.

To achieve this we introduce two new spinlock functions double_spin_lock
and double_spin_unlock which lock or unlock two locks in a given order.

6bb74df481 [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)
This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.

It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.

Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared.  The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to

architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.

Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.

Also:

  The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
  further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code.  So
  either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely.  It was Ingo's preference
  to kill it off.  Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
  has gone in.

SMT-delayed by an even higher-priority task running on a sibling CPU).

Fix this for now by only doing the SMT-nice optimization if the
to-be-delayed task is the only runnable task.  (This should cover most of
the real-life cases anyway.)

This bug has been in the SMT scheduler since 2.6.17 or so, but has only
been noticed now by the active check in the dynticks code.

1499993cc7 [PATCH] fix section mismatch warning in lockdep
lockdep_init() is marked __init but used in several places
outside __init code. This causes following warnings:
$ scripts/mod/modpost kernel/lockdep.o
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_init_map after 'lockdep_init_map' (at offset 0x105)
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.lockdep_reset_lock after 'lockdep_reset_lock' (at offset 0x35)
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:lockdep_init from .text.__lock_acquire after '__lock_acquire' (at offset 0xb2)

The warnings are less obviously due to heavy inlining by gcc - this is not
altered.

Fix the section mismatch warnings by removing the __init marking, which
seems obviously wrong.

Problem description at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8048

Commit b18ec80396
    [PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy
optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers.

The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context
switch.  So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a
stale p->last_ran value, i.e.  accounts the full time, which the task was
scheduled away.

2a786b452e [PATCH] genirq: Mask irqs when migrating them.
move_native_irqs tries to do the right thing when migrating irqs
by disabling them.  However disabling them is a software logical
thing, not a hardware thing.  This has always been a little flaky
and after Ingo's latest round of changes it is guaranteed to not
mask the apic.

So this patch fixes move_native_irq to directly call the mask and
unmask chip methods to guarantee that we mask the irq when we
are migrating it.  We must do this as it is required by
all code that call into the path.

Since we don't know the masked status when IRQ_DISABLED is
set so we will not be able to restore it.   The patch makes the code
just give up and trying again the next time this routing is called.

6a01b07fae [PATCH] audit config lockdown
The following patch adds a new mode to the audit system. It uses the
audit_enabled config option to introduce the idea of audit enabled, but
configuration is immutable. Any attempt to change the configuration
while in this mode is audited. To change the audit rules, you'd need to
reboot the machine.

To use this option, you'd need a modified version of auditctl and use "-e 2".
This is intended to go at the end of the audit.rules file for people that
want an immutable configuration.

This patch also adds "res=" to a number of configuration commands that did not
have it before.

On recent systems, calls to /sbin/modprobe are handled by udev depending
on the kind of device the kernel has discovered. This patch creates an
uevent for the kernels internal request_module(), to let udev take control
over the request, instead of forking the binary directly by the kernel.
The direct execution of /sbin/modprobe can be disabled by setting:
  /sys/module/kmod/mod_request_helper (/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe)
to an empty string, the same way /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is disabled on an
udev system.

Never mask interrupts immediately upon request.  Disabling interrupts in
high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could
recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively
only masking interrupts after they happen.  (NOTE: with this change the
highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an
interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.)

Mark i8529A controllers as 'never loses an edge'.

Use RCU to avoid the need to acquire tasklist_lock in the single-threaded

applications to frequently monitor CPU consumption of individual tasks, as
requested (and now deployed) by some off-list users.

This has been in Ingo Molnar's -rt patchset since late 2005 with no
problems reported, and tests successfully on 2.6.20-rc6, so I believe that
it is long-since ready for mainline adoption.

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Add broadcast functionality, so per cpu clock event devices can be registered
as dummy devices or switched from/to broadcast on demand.  The broadcast
function distributes the events via the broadcast function of the clock event
device.  This is primarily designed to replace the switch apic timer to / from
IPI in power states, where the apic stops.

d316c57ff6 [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionality
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use.  The
clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
related management events.

This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
having to worry about the details of function assignment.  This is also a
preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
architecture code.

1cfd68496e [PATCH] Fix cascade lookup of next_timer_interrupt
When searching for the next pending timer in the timer wheel we need to take
the cascade into account.  The current code has several problems:

 1. it looks into the previous cascade
 2. it ignores a pending cascade
 3. it ignores multiple cascades

Change the cascade lookup, so it calculates the array index from the point of
the next cascade and always look at the cascade buckets, when the cascade is
pending, i.e.  gets executed in the next timer softirq.  When multiple
cascades are pending, then lookup the next buckets too.

Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies().

The main problem is that this condition:

overflows if HZ is smaller than 1000!

This change is user-visible: for HZ=250 SUS-compliant poll()-timeout
value of -20 is mistakenly converted to 'immediate timeout'.

(The new dyntick code also triggered this, that's how we noticed.)

Provide funtions to:
 - check, whether an interrupt can set the affinity
 - pin the interrupt to a given cpu

Necessary for the ability to setup clocksources more flexible (e.g.  use the

77b14db502 [PATCH] sysctl: reimplement the sysctl proc support
With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.

For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.

The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(

We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files.  Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in.  The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible.  By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.

805b5d5e06 [PATCH] sysctl: factor out sysctl_head_next from do_sysctl
The current logic to walk through the list of sysctl table headers is slightly
painful and implement in a way it cannot be used by code outside sysctl.c

I am in the process of implementing a version of the sysctl proc support that
instead of using the proc generic non-caching monster, just uses the existing
sysctl data structure as backing store for building the dcache entries and for
doing directory reads.  To use the existing data structures however I need a
way to get at them.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

2abc26fc6b [PATCH] sysctl: create sys/fs/binfmt_misc as an ordinary sysctl entry
binfmt_misc has a mount point in the middle of the sysctl and that mount point
is created as a proc_generic directory.

Doing it that way gets in the way of cleaning up the sysctl proc support as it
continues the existence of a horrible hack.  So instead simply create the
directory as an ordinary sysctl directory.  At least that removes the magic
special case.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

a98f0dd34d [PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detected
When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold
overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space
to react to such events sooner.

The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the
machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between
all CPUs.

I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine
check polling code immediately to actually log any events
that might have caused the threshold interrupt.

Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface.

9226d125d9 [PATCH] i386: paravirt CPU hypercall batching mode
The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched.  This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions.  This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.

To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
 Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active.  Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch .  This arch needs to place a
read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page.  This read only copy is
named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in
arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias.  So the declaration of
xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define,
defined to true on x86_64.

We can get same result with _attribute__((weak)) in the declaration. linker
should do the job.
