make ppc64 current preempt-safe

2007-03-09T07:42:48Z

Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address". In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS instead of KERNEL_DS. objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)" here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual "ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s. So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg. Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare. Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.

hwmon: Refactor SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2

2007-02-26T02:37:36Z

This patch refactors SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2 macro, following pattern set by SENSOR_ATTR. First it creates a new macro SENSOR_ATTR_2() which expands to an initialization expression, then it uses that in SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2, which declares and initializes a struct sensor_device_attribute_2.

hwmon: Allow sensor attributes arrays

2007-02-26T02:31:01Z

This patch refactors SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR macro. First it creates a new macro SENSOR_ATTR() which expands to an initialization expression, then it uses that in SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR, which declares and initializes a struct sensor_device_attribute. IOW, SENSOR_ATTR() imitates __ATTR() in include/linux/device.h. Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

i2c-piix4: Add ATI IXP200/300/400 support

2007-02-25T23:42:07Z

This patch adds the ATI IXP southbridges support to i2c-piix4, as it turned out those chips are compatible with it. Signed-off-by: Rudolf Marek Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

I2C: i2c-piix4: Add Broadcom HT-1000 support

2007-02-25T23:40:16Z

Add Broadcom HT-1000 south bridge's PCI ID to i2c-piix driver. Note that at least on Supermicro H8SSL it uses non-standard SMBHSTCFG = 3 and standard values like 0 or 9 causes hangup. Signed-off-by: Martin Devera Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

[TCP]: struct tcp_sack_block annotations

2007-02-14T12:58:42Z

Some of the instances of tcp_sack_block are host-endian, some - net-endian. Define struct tcp_sack_block_wire identical to struct tcp_sack_block with u32 replaced with __be32; annotate uses of tcp_sack_block replacing net-endian ones with tcp_sack_block_wire. Change is obviously safe since for cc(1) __be32 is typedefed to u32. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

SPARC32: Fix over-optimization by GCC near ip_fast_csum.

2007-02-14T08:22:53Z

In some cases such as: iph->check = 0; iph->check = ip_fast_csum((unsigned char *)iph, iph->ihl); GCC may optimize out the previous store. Observed as a failure of NFS over udp (bad checksums on ip fragments) when compiled with GCC 3.4.2. Signed-off-by: Bob Breuer Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

reiserfs: avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped

2007-02-03T01:38:47Z

This patch fixes a confusion reiserfs has for a long time. On release file operation reiserfs used to try to pack file data stored in last incomplete page of some files into metadata blocks. After packing the page got cleared with clear_page_dirty. It did not take into account that the page may be mmaped into other process's address space. Recent replacement for clear_page_dirty cancel_dirty_page found the confusion with sanity check that page has to be not mapped. The patch fixes the confusion by making reiserfs avoid tail packing if an inode was ever mmapped. reiserfs_mmap and reiserfs_file_release are serialized with mutex in reiserfs specific inode. reiserfs_mmap locks the mutex and sets a bit in reiserfs specific inode flags. reiserfs_file_release checks the bit having the mutex locked. If bit is set - tail packing is avoided. This eliminates a possibility that mmapped page gets cancel_page_dirty-ed. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Saveliev Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

ia64: add pci_get_legacy_ide_irq()
