Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:
- It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with
fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.
- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.
The patch wires up the syscall for x86.
The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.
Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.
A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.
The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."
Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.
Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).
Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).
And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().
start_kernel()
-> parse_args()
-> unknown_bootoption()
-> obsolete_checksetup()
If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.
If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].
Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.
This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

If running on a host not supporting TLS (for instance 2.4) we should report
that cleanly to the user, instead of printing not comprehensible "error 5" for
that.
Additionally, i386 and x86_64 support different ranges for
user_desc->entry_number, and we must account for that; we couldn't pass
ourselves -1 because we need to override previously existing TLS descriptors
which glibc has possibly set, so test at startup the range to use.
x86 and x86_64 existing ranges are hardcoded.

Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
UML. This is the main chunk, additional parts follow. This implementation is
now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
the previously existing problems.
Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
the host when appropriate, i.e. immediately when the target process is
running or on context switch otherwise (i.e. on fork and on ptrace() calls).
In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
does not switches tls_array together with current->mm).
Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).

Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for
that case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon.
Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a
complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled. In fact, it
only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check
if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the
registers).
If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and
update_debugregs will be a no-op. So, optimize this out (the compiler can't
do it).
Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense if,
after calling a successful
update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq),
current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq.
But this is not done. Is this a bug or a feature? For all purposes, it seems
a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a
possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not
correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed.
Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM,
comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable(). I'm just a bit dubious if
ordering matters there...

ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h is made of two different parts - some code for parsing of
LDT descriptors, which is arch-dependant, and the code to handle uml_ldt_t (an
LDT block inside UML), which is mostly arch-independant (among x86 and x86_64,
at least).
Join the common part in a single file (ldt.h) and split the rest away
(host_ldt-{i386,x86_64}.h).
This is needed because processor.h, with next patches, will start including
the LDT descriptor parsing macros in host_ldt.h, but it can't include ldt.h
because it uses semaphores (and to define semaphores one must first include
processor.h!).

This adds hotplug memory support to UML. The mconsole syntax is
config mem=[+-]n[KMG]
In other words, add or subtract some number of kilobytes, megabytes, or
gigabytes.
Unplugged pages are allocated and then madvise(MADV_TRUNCATE), which is a
currently experimental madvise extension. These pages are tracked so they
can be plugged back in later if the admin decides to give them back. The
first page to be unplugged is used to keep track of about 4M of other
pages. A list_head is the first thing on this page. The rest is filled
with addresses of other unplugged pages. This first page is not madvised,
obviously.
When this page is filled, the next page is used in a similar way and linked
onto a list with the first page. Etc. This whole process reverses when
pages are plugged back in. When a tracking page no longer tracks any
unplugged pages, then it is next in line for plugging, which is done by
freeing pages back to the kernel.

Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114178139610707&w=2
o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer
vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts
travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot
failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt
through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not
support the other mode.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more,
hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at
LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of
second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected
trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI
because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259.
This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR
and keeps on waiting for EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
From the splice.c comments:
"splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
bugs.

fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process(). Contrary,
boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr
= 0.
copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we
can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and
kill unhash_process(). We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle()
because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in
kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[].
We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init(). free_pidmap() is never
called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused. So it is still possible
to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV.
However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case. We still
have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and
kernel threads which don't call daemonize().

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.
L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.
There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR
when called from the OS. Specifically, bits in CR4. The result could
be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition. A firmware
fix is in the works. We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR
operations. As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas().
Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS.
Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same
work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller
due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels. However, my assembly skills
are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions
for where things should be saved. In addition, I don't have a system
to test 32 bit kernels. Help creating and at least touch testing the
same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated.

It was reported from a field customer that global spin lock ptcg_lock
is giving a lot of grief on munmap performance running on a large numa
machine. What appears to be a problem coming from flush_tlb_range(),
which currently unconditionally calls platform_global_tlb_purge().
For some of the numa machines in existence today, this function is
mapped into ia64_global_tlb_purge(), which holds ptcg_lock spin lock
while executing ptc.ga instruction.
Here is a patch that attempt to avoid global tlb purge whenever
possible. It will use local tlb purge as much as possible. Though the
conditions to use local tlb purge is pretty restrictive. One of the
side effect of having flush tlb range instruction on ia64 is that
kernel don't get a chance to clear out cpu_vm_mask. On ia64, this mask
is sticky and it will accumulate if process bounces around. Thus
diminishing the possible use of ptc.l. Thoughts?

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------

BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier

kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them.
One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.
Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.
Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

Because pgdat_list was linked to pgdat_list in *reverse* order, (By default)
some of arch has to sort it by themselves.
for_each_pgdat has gone..for_each_online_pgdat() uses node_online_map, which
doesn't need to be sorted.
This patch removes codes for sorting pgdat.

Don't use cpuid.2 to determine cache info if cpuid.4 is supported. The
exception is P4 trace cache. We always use cpuid.2 to get trace cache
under P4.

Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
between cores. Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package. If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.
On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).
This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches. On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)
Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

This fixes a race in the starting of write_sigio_thread. Previously, some of
the data needed by the thread was initialized after the clone. If the thread
ran immediately, it would see the uninitialized data, including an empty
pollfds, which would cause it to hang.
We move the data initialization to before the clone, and adjust the error
paths and cleanup accordingly.

Behavior when booting two UMLs with the same umid was broken. The second one
would steal the umid. This fixes that, making the second UML take a random
umid instead.

This fixes a process segfault where a signal was being delivered such that a
new stack page needed to be allocated to hold the signal frame. This was
tripping some logic in the page fault handler which wouldn't allocate the page
if the faulting address was more that 32 bytes lower than the current stack
pointer. Since a signal frame is greater than 32 bytes, this exercised that
case.
It's fixed by updating the SP in the pt_regs before starting to copy the
signal frame. Since those are the registers that will be copied on to the
stack, we have to be careful to put the original SP, not the new one which
points to the signal frame, on the stack.

This adds a 'c' option to the ubd switch which turns off host file locking so
that the device can be shared, as with a cluster. There's also some
whitespace cleanup while I was in this file.

For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in
vsyscall-page. The current implementation grants this access by explicitly
allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas(). With this change,
copy_from_user() may be used to read the code. Ptrace access to vsyscall-page
for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline. In
i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT.
To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use
access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page. This doesn't
hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of
stub-vmas.
