2006-09-27sh: Store Queue API rework.Paul Mundt
Rewrite the store queue API for a per-cpu interface in the driver model. The old miscdevice is dropped, due to TASK_SIZE limitations, and no one was using it anyways. Carve up and allocate store queue space with a bitmap, back sq mapping objects with a slab cache, and let userspace worry about its own prefetching. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2006-09-27sh: ioremap() overhaul.Paul Mundt
ioremap() overhaul. Add support for transparent PMB mapping, get rid of p3_ioremap(), etc. Also drop ioremap() and iounmap() routines from the machvec, as everyone can use the generic ioremap() API instead. For PCI memory apertures and other special cases, use the pci_iomap() API, as boards are already required to get the mapping right there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2006-09-27sh: page table alloc cleanups and page fault optimizations.Paul Mundt
Cleanup of page table allocators, using generic folded PMD and PUD helpers. TLB flushing operations are moved to a more sensible spot. The page fault handler is also optimized slightly, we no longer waste cycles on IRQ disabling for flushing of the page from the ITLB, since we're already under CLI protection by the initial exception handler.

2006-09-27sh: Add control register barriers.Paul Mundt
Currently when making changes to control registers, we typically need some time for changes to take effect (8 nops, generally). However, for sh4a we simply need to do an icbi.. This is a simple patch for implementing a general purpose ctrl_barrier() which functions as a control register write barrier. There's some additional documentation in the patch itself, but it's pretty self explanatory. There were also some places where we were not doing the barrier, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects on legacy parts, but certainly did on sh4a. It's safer to have the barrier in place for legacy parts as well in these cases, though this does make flush_tlb_all() more expensive (by an order of 8 nops). We can ifdef around the flush_tlb_all() case for now if it's clear that all legacy parts won't have a problem with this. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2006-09-27sh: Fix fatal oops in copy_user_page() on sh4a (SH7780).Paul Mundt
We had a pretty interesting oops happening, where copy_user_page() was down()'ing p3map_sem[] with a bogus offset (particularly, an offset that hadn't been initialized with sema_init(), due to the mismatch between cpu_data->dcache.n_aliases and what was assumed based off of the old CACHE_ALIAS value). Luckily, spinlock debugging caught this for us, and so we drop the old hardcoded CACHE_ALIAS for sh4 completely and rely on the run-time probed cpu_data->dcache.alias_mask. This in turn gets the p3map_sem[] index right, and everything works again. While we're at it, also convert to 4-level page tables.. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2006-09-26[PATCH] Make UML use ptrace-abi.hJeff Dike
Include the host architecture's ptrace-abi.h instead of ptrace.h. There was some cpp mangling of names around the ptrace.h include to avoid symbol clashes between UML and the host architecture. Most of these can go away. The exception is struct pt_regs, which is convenient to have in userspace, but must be renamed in order that UML can define its own. ptrace-x86_64.h needed to have some now-obsolete cpp cruft and a declaration removed.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Split i386 and x86_64 ptrace.hJeff Dike
The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the x86 segment definitions. Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h. Thus, there is no net effect on i386. As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable in /usr/include. x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency. There was some trailing whitespace there, which is cleaned up.

2006-09-26[PATCH] uml: stack usage reductionJeff Dike
The KSTK_* macros used an inordinate amount of stack. In order to overcome an impedance mismatch between their interface, which just returns a single register value, and the interface of get_thread_regs, which took a full pt_regs, the implementation created an on-stack pt_regs, filled it in, and returned one field. do_task_stat calls KSTK_* twice, resulting in two local pt_regs, blowing out the stack. This patch changes the interface (and name) of get_thread_regs to just return a single register from a jmp_buf. The include of archsetjmp.h" in registers.h to get the definition of jmp_buf exposed a bogus include of <setjmp.h> in start_up.c. <setjmp.h> shouldn't be used anywhere any more since UML uses the klibc setjmp/longjmp.

2006-09-26[PATCH] swsusp: Use memory bitmaps during resumeRafael J. Wysocki
Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle. If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames). Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend). The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Disable CPU hotplug during suspendRafael J. Wysocki
The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines. However, we should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else after we have disabled them. The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should better be static. Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

Moreover, if CONFIG_FLATMEM is set, they appear within the normal zone. swsusp should not try to save them, so the corresponding page structs have to be marked as 'nosave'. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Implement async reads for swsusp resuming. Crufty old PIII testbox: 15.7 MB/s -> 20.3 MB/s Sony Vaio: 14.6 MB/s -> 33.3 MB/s I didn't implement the post-resume bio_set_pages_dirty(). I don't really understand why resume needs to run set_page_dirty() against these pages. It might be a worry that this code modifies PG_Uptodate, PG_Error and PG_Locked against the image pages.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Translate asm version of ELFNOTE macro into preprocessor macroIan Campbell
I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE macro currently in -mm. (in x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch) The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or -mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments" type errors. Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional when compiling assembly files. Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor macro. I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty fscking strange!). With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with both old and new assemblers. ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS, .asciz, "linux") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION, .asciz, "2.6") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION, .asciz, "xen-3.0") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE, .long, __PAGE_OFFSET) Which seems reasonable enough.

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinuxJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Eric W.
