Kprobes could not handle the insertion of a probe on the ret/lret
instruction and used to oops after single stepping since kprobes was
modifying eip/rip incorrectly. Adjustment of eip/rip is not required after
single stepping in case of ret/lret instruction, because eip/rip points to
the correct location after execution of the ret/lret instruction. This
patch fixes the above problem.

s390 passes parameters in registers. So the only safe way to find out the
address of signal context, error-address and error-type (trap_no), which are
passed to signal handlers as parameters, is to declare these parameters.

Checksum handling largely depends on the subarch.
Thus, I renamed i386 arch_csum_partial in arch/um/sys-i386/checksum.S back to
csum_partial, removed csum_partial from arch/um/kernel/checksum.c and shifted
EXPORT_SYMBOL(csum_partial) to arch/um/sys-i386/ksyms.c.
Then, csum_partial_copy_to and csum_partial_copy_from were shifted from
arch/um/kernel/checksum.c to arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/checksum.h and
inserted in the calling functions csum_partial_copy_from_user() and
csum_and_copy_to_user().

This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.
It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.
The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt
Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.
Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to
FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
extracts the faulting address from faultinfo
FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
extracts the "is_write" flag
SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
on i386
UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
in regs->skas.faultinfo
GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
struct faultinfo.
On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.
The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.
Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

Beginning of cross-build fixes. Instead of expecting that mk_user_constants
(compiled and executed on the build box) will see the sizeof, etc. for target
box, we do what every architecture already does for asm-offsets. Namely, have
user-offsets.c compiled *for* *target* into user-offsets.s and sed it into the
header with relevant constants. We don't need to reinvent any wheels - all
tools are already there.
This patch deals with mk_user_constants. It doesn't assume any relationship
between target and build environment anymore - we pick all defines we need
from user-offsets.h. Later patches will deal with the rest of mk_... helpers
in the same way.

In include/asm-x86_64/string.h there are such comments:
/* Use C out of line version for memcmp */
#define memcmp __builtin_memcmp
int memcmp(const void * cs,const void * ct,size_t count);
This would mean that if the compiler does not decide to use __builtin_memcmp,
it emits a call to memcmp to be satisfied by the C out-of-line version in
lib/string.c. What happens is that after preprocessing, in lib/string.i you
may find the definition of "__builtin_strcmp".
Actually, by accident, in the object you will find the definition of strcmp
and such (maybe a trick intended to redirect calls to __builtin_memcmp to the
default memcmp when the definition is not expanded); however, this particular
case is not a documented feature as far as I can see.
Also, the EXPORT_SYMBOL does not work, so it's duplicated in the arch.
I simply added some #undef to lib/string.c and removed the (now duplicated)
exports in x86-64 and UML/x86_64 subarchs (the second ones are introduced by
another patch I just posted for -mm).

cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
- Abolishing never-used macros
- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.

The recent change fix-crash-in-entrys-restore_all.patch
childregs->esp = esp;
p->thread.esp = (unsigned long) childregs;
- p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1);
+ p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1) - 8;
p->thread.eip = (unsigned long) ret_from_fork;
introduces an inconsistency between esp and esp0 before the task is run the
first time. esp0 is no longer the actual start of the stack, but 8 bytes
off.
This shows itself clearly in a scenario when a ptracer that is set to also
ptrace eventual children traces program1 which then clones thread1. Now
the ptracer wants to modify the registers of thread1. The x86 ptrace
implementation bases it's knowledge about saved user-space registers upon
p->thread.esp0. But this will be a few bytes off causing certain writes to
the kernel stack to overwrite a saved kernel function address making the
kernel when actually running thread1 jump out into user-space. Very
spectacular.
The testcase I've used is:
/* start with strace -f ./a.out */
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void *do_thread(void *p)
{
for (;;);
}
int main()
{
pthread_t one;
pthread_create(&one, NULL, &do_thread, NULL);
for (;;);
return 0;
}
So, my solution is to instead of just adjusting esp0 that creates an
inconsitent state I adjust where the user-space registers are saved with -8
bytes. This gives us the wanted extra bytes on the start of the stack and
esp0 is now correct. This solves the issues I saw from the original
testcase from Mateusz Berezecki and has survived testing here. I think
this should go into -mm a round or two first however as there might be some
cruft around depending on pt_regs lying on the start of the stack. That
however would have broken with the first change too!
It's actually a 2-line diff but I had to move the comment of why the -8 bytes
are there a few lines up. Thanks to Zwane for helping me with this.

I'm very carefully staying the hell out of the recurring flamefest on

The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as
it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified):
context switch out:
save PMDs
clear psr.up
release ownership
context switch in:
if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) {
set psr.up
return
}
restore PMD
restore PMC
ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id();
ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation;
set psr.up
The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in
we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In
that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate.
The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we
come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this
would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(),
the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which
trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state
yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed.
To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon
installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application
attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits.
Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the
condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND
perfmon saying it is okay.

Andi noted that during normal runtime cpu_idle_map is bounced around a lot,
and occassionally at a higher frequency than the timer interrupt wakeup
which we normally exit pm_idle from. So switch to a percpu variable.
I didn't move things to the slow path because it would involve adding
scheduler code to wakeup the idle thread on the cpus we're waiting for.

This is a small patch to switch fluch_icache_range() to use fc.i

i-cache coherency without flushing the cache-line out to memory (not
that any current processors do). On existing processors, fc.i behaves
like fc. The only caveat is that very old assemblers may not know
about fc.i yet.

gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an
altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel. However, we
used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug
prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented
building the RAID6 altivec code.
This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version. If 4.0 or
later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add
-maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support.
For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which
is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code.
The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more
skilled than me to improve it.

Patch solves VM86 interrupt emulation deadlock on SMP systems. The VM86
interrupt emulation has been heavily tested and works well on UP systems
after last update, but it seems to deadlock when we have used it on SMP/HT
boxes now.
It seems, that disable_irq() cannot be called from interrupts, because it
waits until disabled interrupt handler finishes
(/kernel/irq/manage.c:synchronize_irq():while(IRQ_INPROGRESS);). This
blocks one CPU after another. Solved by use disable_irq_nosync.
There is the second problem. If IRQ source is fast, it is possible, that
interrupt is sometimes processed and re-enabled by the second CPU, before
it is disabled by the first one, but negative IRQ disable depths are not
allowed. The spinlocking and disabling IRQs over call to
disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq is the only solution found reliable till now.

reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.
The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).

A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.
I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
out.
On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is
being done too early.
I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

It turns out that our current __hash_page code will do a very hot busy-wait
loop waiting on _PAGE_BUSY to be cleared. It even does ldarx/stdcx in the
loop, which will bounce reservations around like crazy if there's more than
one CPU spinning on the same PTE (or even another PTE in the same
reservation granule). The end result is that each fault takes longer when
there's contention, which in turn increases the chance of another thread
hitting the same fault and also piling up. Not pretty.
There's two options here:
1. Do an out-of-line busy loop a'la spinlocks with just loads (no
reserves)
2. Just bail and refault if needed.
(2) makes sense here: If the PTE is busy, chances are it's in flux anyway
and the other code path making a change might just be ready to hash it.
This fixes a stampede seen on a large-ish system where a multithreaded
HPC app faults in the same text pages on several cpus at the same time.

When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found
that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This
turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive
instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses
the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning
another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt
(i.e. 1).
This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now,
but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on.

Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is
normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but
for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for
example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a

Removing the dependency on vmlinux for the install target raised a few

kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target.
The only difference is that install has a dependency on vmlinux,
kernel_install does not. Therefore kernel_install is the best choice
when accessing the kernel over a NFS mount or as another user.
kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the
old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is
linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame.
Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack
pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process
sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits,
which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below
4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs.
This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack
pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The IXDP2800 is an evalution platform for the IXP2800 processor that
has two IXP2800s connected to the same PCI bus. This is problematic
as both CPUs will try to configure the PCI bus as they boot linux.
Contrary to on the other IXP2000 platforms, the boot loader on the
IXDP2800 doesn't configure the PCI bus properly, so we do want the
linux instance on one of the CPUs to do that.
Making one of the CPUs ignore the PCI bus (and thus act like a pure
PCI slave device) is not an option because there is a 82559 NIC on
the PCI bus for each of the CPUs.
The chosen solution is to have the master CPU configure the PCI bus
while the slave is kept in a quiescent state, and then to have the
slave CPU scan the PCI bus (without assigning resources) while the
master is kept in a quiescent state. After this ritual, the master
deletes the slave NIC from its PCI device list, the slave deletes
the master NIC from its device list, and (almost) all is well.
There's still one little problem: each of the CPUs has a 1G SDRAM
BAR, but the IXP2000 only has 512M of outbound PCI memory window.
We solve this by hand-assigning the master and slave SDRAM BARs to
a location outside each of the IXP's outbound PCI windows, and by
having the rest of the BARs autoconfigured in the outbound PCI
windows, in the range [e0000000..ffffffff], so that there is a 1:1
pci:phys mapping between them.
Even with this patch, a number of issues still remain -- just imagine
what happens if one of the CPUs is rebooted, by watchdog or by hand,
but the other one isn't. But those issues are not easily fixable
given the strange PCI layout of this board and the behavior of the
boot loader shipped with the platform.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
present or not.

Assigning the address zero to a PCI device BAR causes some part of the

While we're at it, make the PCI I/O resource end at 0001ffff, since we

Improvements come from eliminating srlz.i, not scheduling AR/CR-reads
too early (while there are others still pending), scheduling the
backing-store switch as well as possible, splitting the BBB bundle
into a MIB/MBB pair.
Why is it safe to eliminate the srlz.i? Observe
that we used to clear bits ~PSR_PRESERVED_BITS in PSR.L. Since
PSR_PRESERVED_BITS==PSR.{UP,MFL,MFH,PK,DT,PP,SP,RT,IC}, we
ended up clearing PSR.{BE,AC,I,DFL,DFH,DI,DB,SI,TB}. However,
PSR.BE : already is turned off in __kernel_syscall_via_epc()
PSR.AC : don't care (kernel normally turns PSR.AC on)
PSR.I : already turned off by the time fsys_bubble_down gets invoked
PSR.DFL: always 0 (kernel never turns it on)
PSR.DFH: don't care --- kernel never touches f32-f127 on its own
initiative
PSR.DI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on)
PSR.SI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on)
PSR.DB : don't care --- kernel never enables kernel-level breakpoints
PSR.TB : must be 0 already; if it wasn't zero on entry to
__kernel_syscall_via_epc, the branch to fsys_bubble_down
will trigger a taken branch; the taken-trap-handler then
converts the syscall into a break-based system-call.
In other words: all the bits we're clearying are either 0 already or
are don't cares! Thus, we don't have to write PSR.L at all and we
don't have to do a srlz.i either.

This patch reorganizes break_fault() to optimistically assume that a
system-call is being performed from user-space (which is almost always
the case). If it turns out that (a) we're not being called due to a
system call or (b) we're being called from within the kernel, we fixup
the no-longer-valid assumptions in non_syscall() and .break_fixup(),
respectively.
With this approach, there are 3 major phases:
- Phase 1: Read various control & application registers, in
particular the current task pointer from AR.K6.
- Phase 2: Do all memory loads (load system-call entry,
load current_thread_info()->flags, prefetch
kernel register-backing store) and switch
to kernel register-stack.
- Phase 3: Call ia64_syscall_setup() and invoke

Current ia64 linux cannot handle greater than 184 interrupt sources
because of the lack of vectors. The following patch enables ia64 linux
to handle greater than 184 interrupt sources by allowing the same
vector number to be shared by multiple IOSAPIC's RTEs. The design of
this patch is besed on "Intel(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family Interrupt
Architecture Guide".
Even if you don't have a large I/O system, you can see the behavior of
vector sharing by changing IOSAPIC_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR to fewer value.

Sadly, I goofed in this syscall-tuning patch:

[IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores.
Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores.
The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3.
Good for a 13 cycle improvement.
The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was
loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17). Since r17 by
coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning
rse_clear_invalid into a no-op. That poses the risk of leaking kernel
state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable.
The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles
in syscall overhead. ;-(
Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those
registers have to be cleared one way or another.

This fixes a couple of bugs in the zx1/sx1000 sba_iommu. These are

by one, deep in the sba_alloc_range() error path. Surrounding that was
a lock ordering problem that could have potentially deadlocked with the
order the locks are grabbed in sba_unmap_single(). I moved the resource
locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this. Finally, there's a
potential race between unmapping pdir entries and marking incoming DMA
pages clean. If you see any oddities, please let me know, but I've
tested it pretty thoroughly here. Tony, please apply. Thanks,

This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.
This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
cpus quicklist. This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
or exiting. With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
table cache flushing will never occur.
I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
this patch and did not notice any change.
On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
the run. I did not investigate further.
This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
instead of the high/low water marks. I have written it to enable
preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code

For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU
back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the
SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA
events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL
for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in

ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.
The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing. Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.
The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
region into the hugetlb region.
In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
at the bottom is larger. Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range. Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose. Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.
Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64. Make sure the

Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level
clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its
long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level
page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on
ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables.
Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by
free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same
way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This
brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled,
in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput).
Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region
instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and
can only be freed while it is touched by some vma.
Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted
from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was
actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before
hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we
might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going
by vma should itself reduce latency.
But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful
examination: put that off until a later patch of the series.
What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma?
And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that
we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be
flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied?
A shame to complicate it unnecessarily.

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.
All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.
Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:
1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.
Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

- broken sibling_map setup in x86_64
- grouping all the core and HT related cpuinfo fields.
We are reasonably sure that adding new cpuinfo fields after "siblings" field,
will not cause any app failure. Thats because today's /proc/cpuinfo
format is completely different on x86, x86_64 and we haven't heard of any
x86 app breakage because of this issue. Grouping these fields will
result in more or less common format on all architectures (ia64, x86 and
x86_64) and will cause less confusion.

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of

I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code. The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.
Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is

One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before. The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later. Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.

Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.
It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64).
Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a)

Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense,
because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself. Remove

This matches what i386 does now.
This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a

created for a number of functions that didnt require it. For example:

c0000000000df944: fb e1 ff f0 std r31,-16(r1)

It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec

issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and
context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically

This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).
While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support
of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations
though:
- Only 44100Khz 16 bits
- Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early
single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none
of the more recent ones like iMac G5.
- It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native
AC3 support
Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am
working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity
of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the
new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital,
etc etc etc...
This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in
the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes).
Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They
have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal
speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your
sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't
set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that,
check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable.
Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack
is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the
headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable
auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

* Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of
updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of
physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful since
not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing.
* Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr
* Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional
storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated
fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT are not currently consistently used in
the code base. Fixed up the usage such that CONFIG_PTE_64BIT is used when we
have a 64-bit PTE regardless of physical address width. CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is
used if the physical address width is larger than 32-bits, regardless of PTE
size.
These changes required a few sub-arch specific ifdef's to be fixed and the
introduction of a physical address format string.

My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP
"off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More
specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for
these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch
(unlike the radeon DRM).
This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different
approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with
some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume
AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended.
This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to
do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird
things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole
problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI.
In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based
laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.

This patch updates the PowerMac cpufreq driver. It depends on the addition
of the suspend() method (my previous patch) and on the new flag I defined
to silence some warnings that are normal for us.
It fixes various issues related to cpufreq on pmac, including some crashes
on some models when sleeping the machine while in low speed, proper voltage
control on some newer machines, and adds voltage control on 750FX based G3
laptops.

On ppc, we emulate instructions that cause alignment exceptions. If we are
single-stepping an instruction and it causes an alignment exception, we
will currently do the next instruction as well before taking the
single-step exception. This patch fixes that, so we take the single-step
exception after emulating the instruction.

If we should happen to get an altivec assist exception while executing in
the kernel, we will currently try to handle it and fail, and end up oopsing
with (apparently) a segfault. (An altivec assist exception occurs for
floating-point altivec instructions with denormalized inputs or outputs if
the altivec unit is in java mode.)
This patch checks explicitly if we are in user mode and prints a useful
message if not.

Currently the procedure in the ppc32 kernel that synchronizes the timebase
registers across an SMP powermac system does so by setting both timebases
to zero. That is OK at boot but causes problems if done later. So that we
can do hotplug CPU on these machines, this patch changes the code so it
reads the timebase from one CPU and transfers the value to the other CPU.
(Hotplug CPU is needed for sleep (aka suspend to RAM) to work.)

This patch adds interrupt acknowledge to the PPC4xx PIC enable_irq
implementation for level-sensitive IRQ sources. This helps in cases when
enable/disable_irq is used in interrupt handlers for hardware, which
requires IRQ acknowledge to be issued from non-interrupt context (e.g.
when actual ACK in device needs an I2C transaction). For such strange
hardware, interrupt handler disables IRQ and defers actual ACK to some
other context. When this happens, IRQ is enabled again. For
level-sensitive sources we get spurious triggering right after IRQ is
enabled. This patch fixes this.

The code that went into arch/ppc/kernel/signal.c recently to handle process
freezing seems to contain a dubious assumption: that a process that calls
do_signal when PF_FREEZE is set will have entered the kernel because of a
system call. This patch removes that assumption.

Fix the access-above-bottom-of-stack crash.
1. Allows to preserve the valueable optimization
2. Works for NMIs
3. Doesn't care whether or not there are more of the like instances
where the stack is left empty.
4. Seems to work for me without the crashes:)

ARM wasn't raising a SIGBUS with a siginfo structure. Fix
__do_user_fault() to allow us to use it for SIGBUS conditions, and arrange
for the sigbus path to use this.
We need to prevent the siginfo code being called if we do not have a user
space context to call it, so consolidate the "user_mode()" tests.
Thanks to Ian Campbell who spotted this oversight.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
