a2aa3e2304 [PATCH] headers_check: fix userspace build of asm-mips/page.h
MIPS asm/page.h unconditionally includes <asm-generic/memory_model.h>, which
doesn't exist in userspace.  Move an #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ down a few lines
to prevent that.

Also, remove the broken definition of PAGE_SIZE which is never going to be
correct -- in the absence of PAGE_SIZE, non-broken userspace will fall back to
using sysconf() or getpagesize() instead.

651c923a44 [PATCH] headers_check: move kernel-only #includes within <asm-i386/elf.h>
Some files which don't exist in userspace were being included unconditionally
in asm-i386/elf.h.  Move the offending #includes down a few lines so that
they're protected by #ifdef __KERNEL__

In fact, we probably want to kill off all userspace use of asm/elf.h -- but we
aren't there yet, so we should at least make it possible to include it for
now.

ee6baf884b [PATCH] headers_check: remove <asm/timex.h> from user export
There's useful stuff in <linux/timex.h> but <asm/timex.h> has nothing for
userspace.  Stop exporting it, and include it only from within the existing
#ifdef __KERNEL__ part of <linux/timex.h>

This fixes a 'make headers_check' failure on i386 because asm-i386/timex.h
includes both asm-i386/tsc.h and asm-i386/processor.h, neither of which are
exported to userspace.  It's not entirely clear _why_ it includes either of
these, but it does.

7f1cbe51ff [PATCH] headers_check: reduce user-visible noise in <linux/nfs_fs.h>
We don't need any of this crap included from the user-visible part of nfs_fs.h
-- remove it all.

In fact, we probably don't need anything but NFS_SUPER_MAGIC to be defined; is
there any need for anything else?  And magic numbers should probably move to
<linux/magic.h> rather than being strewn across various fs-specific include
files which exist in userspace for solely that purpose.

With this patch, 'make header_check' works again at least on PowerPC.

f007cacffc [POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.

To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.

Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock.  If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.

This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX.  32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.

Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.

e269d269e0 [POWERPC] kdump: Support kernels having 64k page size.
This is required to generate proper core files using kdump on ppc64.

Create a backup region of 64K size irrespective of the PAGE SIZE.
At present 32K was used as backup size. In the case of 64K page size,
second PT_LOAD segments starts at 32K and the first one is not page
aligned.  __ioremap() (crash_dump.c) fails if pfn = 0 which is the
case for the second PT_LOAD segment. This is not an issue for 4K page
size because the the first page (32K backup) is copied to second
kernel memory and thus referencing with the second kernel pfn.

8a905162e0 V4L/DVB (4605): Fixes an issue with V4L1 and make headers-install
V4L1 support should be disabled when no CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is defined,
to allow checking for broken V4L2 ports. This is very important during the
migration phase for V4L2 API.
However, userspace apps should be capable of using both APIs, since they need
to test at runtime, via VIDIOCGCAP ioctl, if V4L1 is supported. So, when
__KERNEL__ is not defined, those ioctls and corresponding structs should be
visible.
This patch also removes the obsolete defines HAVE_V4L1 and HAVE_V4L2, that
where causing some confusion, and were replaced by CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT
and CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2.

e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

3a45975681 [PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFs
This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash.  They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,
but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading.

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).

Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.

ktime_t conversions.  This breaks a "sleep inf" on 64bit machines.

While a timespec/timeval with tx.sec = MAX_LONG is valid by specification
the internal representation of ktime_t is based on nanoseconds.  The
conversion of seconds to nanoseconds overflows for seconds values >=
(MAX_LONG / NSEC_PER_SEC).

Check the seconds argument to the conversion and limit it to the maximum
time which can be represented by ktime_t.

a188ad2bc7 [ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches
Patch from George G. Davis

Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".

NOTES:

1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
   coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
   flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
   for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
   non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
   space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
   range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
   memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
   the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
   invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
   need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
   case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
   process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
   function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
   cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

a9aa141cfc [PATCH] x86: increase MAX_MP_BUSSES on default arch
Vitezslav Samel <samel@mail.cz> reports that an HP DL380 g4 fails using the
default arch due to the ISA bus having an ID of 32.

It would have worked OK with the generic arch - for some reason the default
arch doesn't support as many busses.

So bump that up to support 256 busses, but leave it at 32 if we're building a
tiny system to save a bit of memory.

35df17c57c [PATCH] task delay accounting fixes
Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:

1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html

Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
 The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up.  As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.

2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html

The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.

The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

df9ecaba3f [PATCH] ZVC: Scale thresholds depending on the size of the system
The ZVC counter update threshold is currently set to a fixed value of 32.
This patch sets up the threshold depending on the number of processors and
the sizes of the zones in the system.

With the current threshold of 32, I was able to observe slight contention
when more than 130-140 processors concurrently updated the counters.  The
contention vanished when I either increased the threshold to 64 or used
Andrew's idea of overstepping the interval (see ZVC overstep patch).

However, we saw contention again at 220-230 processors.  So we need higher
values for larger systems.

But the current default is already a bit of an overkill for smaller
systems.  Some systems have tiny zones where precision matters.  For
example i386 and x86_64 have 16M DMA zones and either 900M ZONE_NORMAL or
ZONE_DMA32.  These are even present on SMP and NUMA systems.

The patch here sets up a threshold based on the number of processors in the
system and the size of the zone that these counters are used for.  The
threshold should grow logarithmically, so we use fls() as an easy
approximation.

Results of tests on a system with 1024 processors (4TB RAM)

The following output is from a test allocating 1GB of memory concurrently
on each processor (Forking the process.  So contention on mmap_sem and the
pte locks is not a factor):

                       X                   MIN
TYPE:               CPUS       WALL       WALL        SYS     USER     TOTCPU
fork                   1      0.552      0.552      0.540    0.012      0.552
fork                   4      0.552      0.548      2.164    0.036      2.200
fork                  16      0.564      0.548      8.812    0.164      8.976
fork                 128      0.580      0.572     72.204    1.208     73.412
fork                 256      1.300      0.660    310.400    2.160    312.560
fork                 512      3.512      0.696   1526.836    4.816   1531.652
fork                1020     20.024      0.700  17243.176    6.688  17249.863

So a threshold of 32 is fine up to 128 processors. At 256 processors contention
becomes a factor.

Overstepping the counter (earlier patch) improves the numbers a bit:

fork                   4      0.552      0.548      2.164    0.040      2.204
fork                  16      0.552      0.548      8.640    0.148      8.788
fork                 128      0.556      0.548     69.676    0.956     70.632
fork                 256      0.876      0.636    212.468    2.108    214.576
fork                 512      2.276      0.672    997.324    4.260   1001.584
fork                1020     13.564      0.680  11586.436    6.088  11592.523

Still contention at 512 and 1020. Contention at 1020 is down by a third.
256 still has a slight bit of contention.

After this patch the counter threshold will be set to 125 which reduces
contention significantly:

fork                 128      0.560      0.548     69.776    0.932     70.708
fork                 256      0.636      0.556    143.460    2.036    145.496
fork                 512      0.640      0.548    284.244    4.236    288.480
fork                1020      1.500      0.588   1326.152    8.892   1335.044

Patch from Ben Dooks

The type naming in the s3c24xx dma code is riddled with

and fixing up the resultant code changes.

eb36c2884a [PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparison
This fixes a hang on ppc32.

The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit
quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing.  This makes us use a
64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code
since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually
fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through
the code).

This works fine on my G4 tibook.  Let me know how it goes on your
machines.
