Kumar Gala a2f40ccd29 [PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog Timer
PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level.  The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.

One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception.  It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point.  If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.

Command line parameters:
  wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
  wdt=1 : enable watchdog

  wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.

  The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
  User Manual for the processor for more details.

This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

Stephen Smalley f549d6c18c [PATCH] Generic VFS fallback for security xattrs
This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall
back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not
support xattrs natively.  This allows security modules to export the incore
inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does
not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch
various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access.  The patch removes
the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer
needed.

The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between
the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one
user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than
-EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the
operation anyway.  Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in
the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore
inode security state update directly.  In contrast, we do call fsnotify in
both cases.

Stephen Smalley 782ebb992e [PATCH] selinux: Reduce memory use by avtab
This patch improves memory use by SELinux by both reducing the avtab node
size and reducing the number of avtab nodes.  The memory savings are
substantial, e.g.  on a 64-bit system after boot, James Morris reported the
following data for the targeted and strict policies:

            #objs  objsize   kernmem
Targeted:
  Before:  237888       40     9.1MB
  After:    19968       24     468KB

Strict:
  Before:  571680       40   21.81MB
  After:   221052       24    5.06MB

The improvement in memory use comes at a cost in the speed of security
server computations of access vectors, but these computations are only
required on AVC cache misses, and performance measurements by James Morris
using a number of benchmarks have shown that the change does not cause any
significant degradation.

Note that a rebuilt policy via an updated policy toolchain
(libsepol/checkpolicy) is required in order to gain the full benefits of
this patch, although some memory savings benefits are immediately applied
even to older policies (in particular, the reduction in avtab node size).
Sources for the updated toolchain are presently available from the
sourceforge CVS tree (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=21266), and
tarballs are available from http://www.flux.utah.edu/~sds.

(Includes a cleanup from "Richard Purdie" <rpurdie@rpsys.net>)

From: Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch@gmx.net>

show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file.  show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written.  While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap.  Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.

The attached patch cures the problem.  It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument.  Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer.  Now the final

	if (m->count < m->size)  /* vma is copied successfully */
		m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;

is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

Zachary Amsden 61e06037e7 [PATCH] x86_64: avoid some atomic operations during address space destruction
Any architecture that has hardware updated A/D bits that require
synchronization against other processors during PTE operations can benefit
from doing non-atomic PTE updates during address space destruction.
Originally done on i386, now ported to x86_64.

Doing a read/write pair instead of an xchg() operation saves the implicit
lock, which turns out to be a big win on 32-bit (esp w PAE).

Zachary Amsden a600388d28 [PATCH] x86: ptep_clear optimization
Add a new accessor for PTEs, which passes the full hint from the mmu_gather
struct; this allows architectures with hardware pagetables to optimize away
atomic PTE operations when destroying an address space.  Removing the
locked operation should allow better pipelining of memory access in this
loop.  I measured an average savings of 30-35 cycles per zap_pte_range on
the first 500 destructions on Pentium-M, but I believe the optimization
would win more on older processors which still assert the bus lock on xchg
for an exclusive cacheline.

Update: I made some new measurements, and this saves exactly 26 cycles over
ptep_get_and_clear on Pentium M.  On P4, with a PAE kernel, this saves 180
cycles per ptep_get_and_clear, for a whopping 92160 cycles savings for a
full address space destruction.

pte_clear_full is not yet used, but is provided for future optimizations
(in particular, when running inside of a hypervisor that queues page table
updates, the full hint allows us to avoid queueing unnecessary page table
update for an address space in the process of being destroyed.

This is not a huge win, but it does help a bit, and sets the stage for
further hypervisor optimization of the mm layer on all architectures.

Kyle Moffett fa5b08d5f8 [PATCH] sab: consolidate kmem_bufctl_t
This is used only in slab.c and each architecture gets to define whcih
underlying type is to be used.

Seems a bit silly - move it to slab.c and use the same type for all

Chen, Kenneth W 0e5c9f39f6 [PATCH] remove hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() and fix huge_pte_alloc()
I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore
in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables().  It now collect
all the pte page at the time of munmap.  It used to only collect page
table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte
pages.  Not anymore with 2.6.13.  This function will never be called
and We should turn it into a BUG_ON.

I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-)
(1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not
    checked before calling pmd_alloc()
(2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to
    pmd_free_tlb.  I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping
    for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a
    pte page.  However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never
    called, so it won't trigger the bug.

Adam Litke 7bf07f3d4b [PATCH] hugetlb: move stale pte check into huge_pte_alloc()
Initial Post (Wed, 17 Aug 2005)

This patch moves the
	if (! pte_none(*pte))
		hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(pte);
logic into huge_pte_alloc() so all of its callers can be immune to the bug
described by Kenneth Chen at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/16/246

> It turns out there is a bug in hugetlb_prefault(): with 3 level page table,
> huge_pte_alloc() might return a pmd that points to a PTE page. It happens
> if the virtual address for hugetlb mmap is recycled from previously used
> normal page mmap. free_pgtables() might not scrub the pmd entry on
> munmap and hugetlb_prefault skips on any pmd presence regardless what type
> it is.

Unless I am missing something, it seems more correct to place the check inside
huge_pte_alloc() to prevent a the same bug wherever a huge pte is allocated.
It also allows checking for this condition when lazily faulting huge pages
later in the series.

This patch adds a macro pte_huge(pte) for i386/x86_64 which is needed by a

_PAGE_PSE), I've added __LARGE_PTE to i386 to match x86_64.

Deepak Saxena fd195c49fb [PATCH] arm: allow for arch-specific IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER
Version 6 of the ARM architecture introduces the concept of 16MB pages
(supersections) and 36-bit (40-bit actually, but nobody uses this) physical
addresses.  36-bit addressed memory and I/O and ARMv6 can only be mapped
using supersections and the requirement on these is that both virtual and
physical addresses be 16MB aligned.  In trying to add support for ioremap()
of 36-bit I/O, we run into the issue that get_vm_area() allows for a
maximum of 512K alignment via the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant.  To work
around this, we can:

- Allocate a larger VM area than needed (size + (1ul << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER))
  and then align the pointer ourselves, but this ends up with 512K of
  wasted VM per ioremap().

- Provide a new __get_vm_area_aligned() API and make __get_vm_area() sit
  on top of this. I did this and it works but I don't like the idea
  adding another VM API just for this one case.

- My preferred solution which is to allow the architecture to override
  the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant with it's own version.
