2006-01-16[IA64] pal cache flush patchXu, Anthony
Because PAL spec has changed since 2002, you can goto http://developer.intel.com/design/itanium/manuals/iiasdmanual.htm to download new SDM, all PAL calls should be invoked with psr.ic=1, and it's caller's responsibility to handle possible tlb miss. Ia64_pal_cache_flush was written according to old spec, it is obsolete, and this patch has ia64_pal_cache_flush conform to new spec.

2006-01-15[PATCH] ppc: Remove powermac support from ARCH=ppcPaul Mackerras
This makes it possible to build kernels for PReP and/or CHRP with ARCH=ppc by removing the (non-building) powermac support. It's now also possible to select PReP and CHRP independently. Powermac users should now build with ARCH=powerpc instead of ARCH=ppc. (This does mean that it is no longer possible to build a 32-bit kernel for a G5.)

This patch is the first in a series that tries to optimize the kernel in terms of size (and thus cache behavior, both cpu and pagecache). This first patch changes __always_inline to be a forced inline instead of the "regular" inline it was on everything except alpha.

2006-01-14[PATCH] cpuset oom lock fixPaul Jackson
The problem, reported in: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5859 and by various other email messages and lkml posts is that the cpuset hook in the oom (out of memory) code can try to take a cpuset semaphore while holding the tasklist_lock (a spinlock). One must not sleep while holding a spinlock. The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the tasklist_lock region. This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks, which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

2006-01-14[PATCH] Add tmpfs options for memory placement policiesRobin Holt
Anything that writes into a tmpfs filesystem is liable to disproportionately decrease the available memory on a particular node. Since there's no telling what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their site's situation. Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for preferred, bind, and interleave policies. The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a significantly reduced number of free pages. With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for that policy where they would prefer allocations. This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist mount option.

2006-01-14[SCSI] iscsi: seperate iscsi interface from setup functionsMike Christie
This is the second version of the patch to address Christoph's comments. Instead of doing the lib, I just kept everything in scsi_trnapsort_iscsi.c like the FC and SPI class. This was becuase the driver model and sysfs class is tied to the session and connection setup so separating did not buy very much at this time. The reason for this patch was becuase HW iscsi LLDs like qla4xxx cannot use the iscsi class becuase the scsi_host was tied to the interface and class code. This patch just seperates the session from scsi host so that LLDs that allocate the host per some resource like pci device can still use the class. This is also fixes a couple refcount bugs that can be triggered when users have a sysfs file open, close the session, then read or write to the file.

2006-01-14[SCSI] remove target parent limitiationChristoph Hellwig
When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given transport class. When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it. So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets the transport class control the user-initiated scanning. As this plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do something sensible. For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely unsynchronized which seems wrong.

2006-01-14[ARM] 3105/4: ARM EABI: new syscall entry conventionNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM. Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support is the right thing to do. It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number. Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length): legacy ABI: - put fd into r0 - put length into r1-r2 - use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel new ARM EABI: - put fd into r0 - put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1) - put 194 into r7 - use "swi 0" to call the kernel Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this. The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

exception Patch from Nicolas Pitre The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions. We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function. If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data stack space remain multiples of 8.

2006-01-14[ARM] 3101/1: ARM EABI: slab memory must be 64-bit alignedNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre Although ARM is still using 32-bit pointers, version 5 and later versions of the ARM architecture introduced the ldrd and strd instructions to move 64-bit data which must be 64-bit aligned in memory, and the EABI includes new constraints on structure data alignment to allow for the compiler to use those instructions. This means that any slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that implements the ldrd/strd instructions. Overriding the default alignment disables some slab debug features. If those debug features are really needed then the kernel will have to be compiled for version 4 of the ARM architecture.

2006-01-13[PATCH] spi: add spi_bitbang driverDavid Brownell
This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc). This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the right platform_data. That data includes I/O loops, which will usually come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header). One goal is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead. This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation. - different word sizes (1..32 bits) - differing clock rates - SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops) - SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops) - delays (usecs) after transfers - temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g. DMA queues) and maybe controllers (e.g. IRQ driven).
