a3f9985843 [SPARC64]: Move kernel unaligned trap handlers into assembler file.
GCC 4.x really dislikes the games we are playing in
unaligned.c, and the cleanest way to fix this is to
move things into assembler.

d64d387372 [NET]: Fix memory leak in sys_{send,recv}msg() w/compat
From: Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@sw.starentnetworks.com>

sendmsg()/recvmsg() syscalls from o32/n32 apps to a 64bit kernel will
cause a kernel memory leak if iov_len > UIO_FASTIOV for each syscall!

This is because both sys_sendmsg() and verify_compat_iovec() kmalloc a
new iovec structure.  Only the one from sys_sendmsg() is free'ed.

I wrote a simple test program to confirm this after identifying the
problem:

http://davej.org/programs/testsendmsg.c

Note that the below fix will break solaris_sendmsg()/solaris_recvmsg() as
it also calls verify_compat_iovec() but expects it to malloc internally.

[ I fixed that. -DaveM ]

fec59a711e [PATCH] PCI: restore BAR values after D3hot->D0 for devices that need it
Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration
(including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0.  This leaves such
a device in an inaccessible state.  The patch below causes the BARs
to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will
be able to access it.

The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a
correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that.

Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a
(re)boot.  Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices
left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition
will be inaccessible to their drivers.

Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would
be difficult to know which drivers need modification.  This is
especially true since often many devices are covered by the same
driver.  It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens
of drivers.

The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0
(or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit
cleared in the PM control register.  I believe it is safe to include
this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure.

The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call
pci_update_resource.  Unfortunately, that does not currently exist
for the sparc64 architecture.  The patch below includes a null
implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64.

Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the
pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed
modules.

48b0e5487f [SPARC64]: Fix ugly dependency on NR_CPUS being a power-of-2.
The page->flags D-cache dirty state tracking depended upon
NR_CPUS being a power-of-2 via it's "NR_CPUS - 1" masking.

Fix that to use a fixed (256 - 1) mask as that is the limit
imposed by thread_info->cpu which is a "u8".

Finally, add a compile time check that NR_CPUS is not greater
than 256.

bb6743f4f0 [SPARC64]: Do proper DMA IRQ syncing on Tomatillo
This was the main impetus behind adding the PCI IRQ shim.

In order to properly order DMA writes wrt. interrupts, you have to
write to a PCI controller register, then poll for that bit clearing.
There is one bit for each interrupt source, and setting this register
bit tells Tomatillo to drain all pending DMA from that device.

Furthermore, Tomatillo's with revision less than 4 require us to do a
block store due to some memory transaction ordering issues it has on
JBUS.

088dd1f81b [SPARC64]: Add support for IRQ pre-handlers.
This allows a PCI controller to shim into IRQ delivery
so that DMA queues can be drained, if necessary.

If some bus specific code needs to run before an IRQ
handler is invoked, the bus driver simply needs to setup
the function pointer in bucket->irq_info->pre_handler and
the two args bucket->irq_info->pre_handler_arg[12].

The Schizo PCI driver is converted over to use a pre-handler
for the DMA write-sync processing it needs when a device
is behind a PCI->PCI bus deeper than the top-level APB
bridges.

While we're here, clean up all of the action allocation
and handling.  Now, we allocate the irqaction as part of
the bucket->irq_info area.  There is an array of 4 irqaction
(for PCI irq sharing) and a bitmask saying which entries
are active.

The bucket->irq_info is allocated at build_irq() time, not
at request_irq() time.  This simplifies request_irq() and
free_irq() tremendously.

The SMP dynamic IRQ retargetting code got removed in this
change too.  It was disabled for a few months now, and we
can resurrect it in the future if we want.

e7270dec08 [SPARC64/COMPAT]: Add some compat ioctl for ppdev
The following patch adds some ioctls to include/linux/compat_ioctl.h
to allow using ppdev from the 32 bit user space on sparc64.

This patch also adds the PPDEV option in the sparc64 menu, near Parallel

All those ioctls seem to be compatible, since (correct me if I'm wrong)
they dont use the 'long' type. See include/linux/ppdev.h.

The application I used to test the new ioctls only used the following:
PPEXCL
PPCLAIM
PPNEGOT
PPGETMODES
PPRCONTROL
PPWCONTROL
PPDATADIR
PPWDATA
PPRDATA

But I beleive that the other ioctls will work fine.

b445e26cbf [SPARC64]: Avoid membar instructions in delay slots.
In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay
slot of a jmpl instruction.

UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in
the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51

The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses
on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing
membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.

If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the
chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer.

We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but
it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule.

7e1048b11c [PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific code
The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is
arming and disarming kprobes at registration time.  The problem is that the
code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write
of some magic value to an address.  This is problematic for ia64 where our
instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points
by just doing something like:

*p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION;

The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent
functions:

     * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
     * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)

and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already
implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64).

I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really
happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe()
function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as
needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So...  I took the
liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call
arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing
with the recursive kprobe case.

So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still
needs to be tested in sparc64.

1363c3cd86 [PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentation
Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.

The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.

The problem is twofold:

  1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
     the last search ended.  Before the change new areas were always
     searched from the base address on.

     So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
     throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
     tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
     large and available for larger requests.

  2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
     munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g.  five regions of
     1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
     will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
     appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
     of the old region 2.  Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
     get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.

The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache.  If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.

The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.

Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.

Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

63551ae0fe [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation
A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.

Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

39c715b717 [PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanup
This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.

The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.

Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.

In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:

 - smp_processor_id(): debug variant.

 - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
   uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
   by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.

There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:

 - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
                             smp_processor_id().

Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file.  All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.

I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:

 {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}

I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.  (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

88314ee73f [SPARC64]: Refine PCI strbuf ctx-based flush.
The initial peek read PIO of the match register is just a waste.
Just do the flush writes first, as that is more efficient.

7c963ad1d1 [SPARC64]: Fix streaming buffer flushing on PCI and SBUS.
Firstly, if the direction is TODEVICE, then dirty data in the
streaming cache is impossible so we can elide the flush-flag
synchronization in that case.

Next, the context allocator is broken.  It is highly likely
that contexts get used multiple times for different dma
mappings, which confuses the strbuf flushing code and makes
it run inefficiently.

816242da37 [SPARC64]: Add boot option to force UltraSPARC-III P-Cache on.
Older UltraSPARC-III chips have a P-Cache bug that makes us disable it
by default at boot time.

However, this does hurt performance substantially, particularly with
memcpy(), and the bug is _incredibly_ obscure.  I have never seen it
triggered in practice, ever.

So provide a "-P" boot option that forces the P-Cache on.  It taints
the kernel, so if it does trigger and cause some data corruption or
OOPS, we will find out in the logs that this option was on when it
happened.

a228dfd5dc [SPARC64]: Fix bad performance side effect of strbuf timeout changes.
The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had
a negative performance impact.  The udelay()'s are too long,
and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read
checks.  Fix both, and things are happy again.

There are more possible improvements in this area.  In fact,
PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck
in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box.

4dbc30fb27 [SPARC64]: Add timeouts to streaming buffer synchronization.
If some hardware error occurs and the flush flag never updates,
we will hang forever in these routines.  Add a timeout, and
print out a diagnostic if it is reached.

41832a08fe [SPARC64]: Disable IRQ forwarding.
There is some race whereby IRQs get stuck, the IRQ status
is pending but no processor actually handles the IRQ vector
and thus the interrupt.
 
This is a temporary workaround.
