* | [PATCH] powerpc: fix dynamic PCI probe regressionJohn Rose2006-02-281-3/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some hotplug driver functions were migrated to the kernel for use by EEH in commit 2bf6a8fa21570f37fd1789610da30f70a05ac5e3. Previously, the PCI Hotplug module had been changed to use the new OFDT-based PCI probe when appropriate: 5fa80fcdca9d20d30c9ecec30d4dbff4ed93a5c6 When rpaphp_pci_config_slot() was moved from the rpaphp driver to the new kernel function pcibios_add_pci_devices(), the OFDT-based probe stuff was dropped. This patch restores it. Signed-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [NETFILTER]: Restore {ipt,ip6t,ebt}_LOG compatibilityPatrick McHardy2006-02-273-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The nfnetlink_log infrastructure changes broke compatiblity of the LOG targets. They currently use whatever log backend was registered first, which means that if ipt_ULOG was loaded first, no messages will be printed to the ring buffer anymore. Restore compatiblity by using the old log functions by default and only use the nf_log backend if the user explicitly said so. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [IPSEC]: Kill post_input hook and do NAT-T in esp_input directlyHerbert Xu2006-02-271-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only reason post_input exists at all is that it gives us the potential to adjust the checksums incrementally in future which we ought to do. However, after thinking about it for a bit we can adjust the checksums without using this post_input stuff at all. The crucial point is that only the inner-most NAT-T SA needs to be considered when adjusting checksums. What's more, the checksum adjustment comes down to a single u32 due to the linearity of IP checksums. We just happen to have a spare u32 lying around in our skb structure :) When ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_NONE on input, the value of skb->csum is currently unused. All we have to do is to make that the checksum adjustment and voila, there goes all the post_input and decap structures! I've left in the decap data structures for now since it's intricately woven into the sec_path stuff. We can kill them later too.

* [MIPS] SMP: Fix initialization order bug.Ralf Baechle2006-02-271-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent change requires cpu_possible_map to be initialized before smp_sched_init() but most MIPS platforms were initializing their processors in the prom_prepare_cpus callback of smp_prepare_cpus. The simple fix of calling prom_prepare_cpus from one of the earlier SMP initialization hooks doesn't work well either since IPIs may require init_IRQ() to have completed, so bit the bullet and split prom_prepare_cpus into two initialization functions, plat_smp_setup which is called early from setup_arch and plat_prepare_cpus called where prom_prepare_cpus used to be called.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlierAndi Kleen2006-02-261-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe timer or not. This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early. This fixes a couple of problems: - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was set up time_init_gtod too late. - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading because time_init_gtod could actually change it later. Now always print the final timer choice Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions. This changed in 2.6.16 and now gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled. Therefore, uses of no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed. Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h. Lastly, end_pfn off by one error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name. Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does. Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application might want this behavior. We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior. For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new behavior could be invoked. I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the syscall API?

* | [PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequenceJames Bottomley2006-02-241-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for booting CPUs again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For kexec we need to know the size of the MMU hash table. Currently we calculate the size once in the htab code, and then twice more in the kexec code, once using htab_hash_mask and once using ppc64_pft_size. On some machines the ppc64_pft_size calculation is broken because ppc64_pft_size is not set. So we need to fix the second calculation, but better still we should just calculate the size once and use it everywhere else. Tested on Power5 LPAR, Power4 non-LPAR and Power3.

Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

* | [PATCH] Terminate process that fails on a constrained allocationChristoph Lameter2006-02-201-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low. In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the whole system coming down). It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is similar to what we do when running out of hugepages. This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the current process.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Fix accidentally-working typo in __pud_free_tlbDavid Gibson2006-02-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | One of the parameters to the __pud_free_tlb() macro for powerpc is incorrect (see patch) . We get away with it by accident, because the one place the macro is called, the second parameter is a variable named "pud".
