The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

ARM26 define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as PAGE_SIZE (beyond the machine vectors when
they are mapped low), and use that definition in place of locally defined
MIN_MAP_ADDR. Previously, ARM26 permitted user mappings at 0 if the machine
vectors were mapped high; but that's inconsistent with ARM, and
FIRST_USER_ADDRESS would then have to be determined at runtime. Let's fix it
at PAGE_SIZE throughout the architecture.

This patch introduces a new interface function for mapping bus/device memory:
io_remap_pfn_range. This accepts the same parameters as remap_pfn_range and
io_remap_page_range but should be used in any situation where the caller is
not simply remapping ordinary RAM. For example, when mapping device registers
the new function should be used.
The distinction between remapping device memory and ordinary RAM is critical
for the Xen hypervisor.
This patch series also cleans up the remaining users of io_remap_page_range
(in particular, the several sparc-specific sections in various drivers that
use a special form of io_remap_page_range: an extra <iospace> argument for
SPARC arch.) by converting them to use io_remap_pfn_range(), where
io_remap_pfn_range() supports passing <iospace> as part of the pfn argument.
The sparc32 & sparc64 code needs live testing.
(from Keir:)
I have audited the drivers/ and sound/ directories. Most uses of
remap_pfn_range are okay, but there are a small handful that are remapping
device memory (mostly AGP and DRM drivers).
Of particular driver is the HPET driver, whose mmap function is broken even
for native (non-Xen) builds. If nothing else, vmalloc_to_phys should be used
instead of __pa to convert an ioremapped virtual address to a valid physical
address. The fix in this patch is to remember the original bus address as
probed at boot time and to pass this to io_remap_pfn_range.
io_remap_pfn_range():
add io_remap_pfn_range() for all arches;
add MK_IOSPACE_PFN(), GET_IOSPACE(), and GET_PFN()
for all arches but primarily for sparc32/64's extended IO space,
sparc: kill the hack of using low bit of <offset> to mean
write_combine or set side-effect (_PAGE_E) bit;
(DaveM suggested that I kill it;)
future: convert remaining callers of io_remap_page_range() to
io_remap_pfn_range() and deprecate io_remap_page_range();

This patch extracts all the operations on counters protected by the page
table lock (currently rss and anon_rss) into definitions in
include/linux/sched.h. All rss operations are performed through the
following macros:
get_mm_counter(mm, member) -> Obtain the value of a counter
set_mm_counter(mm, member, value) -> Set the value of a counter
update_mm_counter(mm, member, value) -> Add to a counter
inc_mm_counter(mm, member) -> Increment a counter
dec_mm_counter(mm, member) -> Decrement a counter
With this patch it becomes easier to add new counters and it is possible to
redefine the method of counter handling. The counters are an issue for
scalability since they are used in frequently used code paths and may cause
cache line bouncing.
F.e. One may not use counters at all and count the pages when needed, switch
to atomic operations if the mm_struct locking changes or split the rss
into counters that can be locally incremented.
The relevant fields of the task_struct are renamed with a leading underscore
to catch out people who are not using the acceessor macros.

The patch below replaces the existing 8Kb randomisation of the userspace stack
pointer (which is currently only done for Hyperthreaded P-IVs) with a more
general randomisation over a 64Kb range. 64Kb is not a lot, but it's a start
and once the dust settles we can increase this value to a more agressive

I'm taking a slightly different approach this time around so things
are easier to integrate. Here is the first patch which builds the
infrastructure. Basically:
1) Add set_pte_at() which is set_pte() with 'mm' and 'addr' arguments
added. All generic code uses set_pte_at().
Most platforms simply get this define:
#define set_pte_at(mm,addr,ptep,pteval) set_pte(ptep,pteval)
I chose this method over simply changing all set_pte() call sites
because many platforms implement this in assembler and it would
take forever to preserve the build and stabilize things if modifying
that was necessary.
Soon, with platform maintainer's help, we can kill of set_pte() entirely.
To be honest, there are only a handful of set_pte() call sites in the
arch specific code.
Actually, in this patch ppc64 is completely set_pte() free and does not
define it.
2) pte_clear() gets 'mm' and 'addr' arguments now.
This had a cascading effect on many ptep_test_and_*() routines. Specifically:
a) ptep_test_and_clear_{young,dirty}() now take 'vma' and 'address' args.
b) ptep_get_and_clear now take 'mm' and 'address' args.
c) ptep_mkdirty was deleted, unused by any code.
d) ptep_set_wrprotect now takes 'mm' and 'address' args.
I've tested this patch as follows:
1) compile and run tested on sparc64/SMP
2) compile tested on:
a) ppc64/SMP
b) i386 both with and without PAE enabled

accordingly after applying the patch, it should work just fine. Using !!

Most of the include/asm-*/resource.h headers are the same as one another.
This patch makes one generic version, include/asm-generic/resource.h, and
uses that when appropriate. The only vaguely interesting things here are
that the generic version introduces a new _STK_LIM_MAX macro, which can be
populated by an arch (ia64 and parisc needed that). Also, some arches hid
RLIM_INFINITY under __KERNEL__, while others did not. The generic version
does not, so the following arches will see that change:
arm, arm26, mips, ppc, ppc64, sh (and hence sh64)
And, finally, some arches maintain their own order for the resource
numbers. This is now marked by __ARCH_RLIMIT_ORDER, and is used by the
following arches:
alpha, mips, sparc, and sparc64.
This actually uncovered a mips bug (fix already sent, this patch is
relative to that fix), where the default RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was set to
RLIM_INFINITY and RLIMIT_NPROC set to MLOCK_LIMIT (the latter is no big
deal because RLIMIT_NPROC default is overwritten dynamically during bootup
in fork_init()). Also, this change makes alpha's default for RLIMIT_NPROC
change from RLIM_INFINITY to 0, but again...no problem as it's dynamically
overwritten during bootup.
The following arches are left untouched:
m68knommu: untouched (uses m68k/resource.h)
sh64: untouched (uses asm-sh/resource.h)
um: untouched (uses arch code already)

This patch introduces the concept of (virtual) cputime. Each architecture
can define its method to measure cputime. The main idea is to define a
cputime_t type and a set of operations on it (see asm-generic/cputime.h).
Then use the type for utime, stime, cutime, cstime, it_virt_value,
it_virt_incr, it_prof_value and it_prof_incr and use the cputime operations
for each access to these variables. The default implementation is jiffies
based and the effect of this patch for architectures which use the default
implementation should be neglectible.
There is a second type cputime64_t which is necessary for the kernel_stat
cpu statistics. The default cputime_t is 32 bit and based on HZ, this will
overflow after 49.7 days. This is not enough for kernel_stat (ihmo not
enough for a processes too), so it is necessary to have a 64 bit type.
The third thing that gets introduced by this patch is an additional field
for the /proc/stat interface: cpu steal time. An architecture can account
cpu steal time by calls to the account_stealtime function. The cpu which
backs a virtual processor doesn't spent all of its time for the virtual
cpu. To get meaningful cpu usage numbers this involuntary wait time needs
to be accounted and exported to user space.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
The p->signal check in account_system_time is insufficient. If the timer
interrupt hits near the end of exit_notify, after EXIT_ZOMBIE has been set,
another cpu may release_task (NULLifying p->signal) in between
account_system_time's check and check_rlimit's dereference. Nor should
account_it_prof risk send_sig. But surely account_user_time is safe?

On some platforms (e.g. SGI Challenge, Origin, and Altix machines), writes
to I/O space aren't ordered coming from different CPUs. For the most part,
this isn't a problem since drivers generally spinlock around code that does
writeX calls, but if the last operation a driver does before it releases a
lock is a write and some other CPU takes the lock and immediately does a
write, it's possible the second CPU's write could arrive before the
first's.
This patch adds a mmiowb() call to deal with this sort of situation, and
adds some documentation describing I/O ordering issues to
deviceiobook.tmpl. The idea is to mirror the regular, cacheable memory
barrier operation, wmb. Example of the problem this new macro solves:
CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU A: ...
CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
...
CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
CPU B: ...
CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
In this case, newval2 could be written to ring_ptr before newval. Fixing
it is easy though:
CPU A: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU A: ...
CPU A: writel(newval, ring_ptr);
CPU A: mmiowb(); /* ensure no other writes beat us to the device */
CPU A: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
...
CPU B: spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
CPU B: writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
CPU B: ...
CPU B: mmiowb();
CPU B: spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
Note that this doesn't address a related case where the driver may want to
actually make a given write get to the device before proceeding. This
should be dealt with by immediately reading a register from the card that
has no side effects. According to the PCI spec, that will guarantee that
all writes have arrived before being sent to the target bus. If no such
register is available (in the case of card resets perhaps), reading from
config space is sufficient (though it may return all ones if the card isn't
responding to read cycles). I've tried to describe how mmiowb() differs
from PCI posted write flushing in the patch to deviceiobook.tmpl.

Since the irq handling rework in 2.5 lots of code in the individual

masking in the CONFIG_PREEMPT case of in_atomic(). These
architectures don't support CONFIG_PREEMPT else this would have been
an easily-spottbale bug
- S390 didn't provide synchronize_irq as it doesn't fit into their
I/O model. They now get a spurious prototype/macro
- ppc added a new preemptible() macro that is provided for all
architectures now.

Since various gnupg users have indicated that gpg wants to mlock 32kB of
memory, I created the patch below that increases the default mlock ulimit
to 32kB.
This is no security problem because it's trivial for processes to lock way
more memory than this in page tables, network buffers, etc. In fact, since
this patch allows gnupg to mlock to prevent passphrase data from being
swapped out, the security people will probably like it ;)

Here is the last agreed-on patch that lets normal users mlock pages up to
their rlimit. This patch addresses all the issues brought up by Chris and
Andrea.
From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
Couple more nits.
The default lockable amount is one page now (first patch is was 0). Why
don't we keep it as 0, with the CAP_IPC_LOCK overrides in place? That way
nothing is changed from user perspective, and the rest of the policy can be
done by userspace as it should.
This patch breaks in one scenario. When ulimit == 0, process has
CAP_IPC_LOCK, and does SHM_LOCK. The subsequent unlock or destroy will
corrupt the locked_shm count.
It's also inconsistent in handling user_can_mlock/CAP_IPC_LOCK interaction
betwen shm_lock and shm_hugetlb.
SHM_HUGETLB can now only be done by the shm_group or CAP_IPC_LOCK.
Not any can_do_mlock() user.
Double check of can_do_mlock isn't needed in SHM_LOCK path.
Interface names user_can_mlock and user_substract_mlock could be better.
Incremental update below. Ran some simple sanity tests on this plus my
patch below and didn't find any problems.
* Make default RLIM_MEMLOCK limit 0.
* Move CAP_IPC_LOCK check into user_can_mlock to be consistent
and fix but with ulimit == 0 && CAP_IPC_LOCK with SHM_LOCK.
* Allow can_do_mlock() user to try SHM_HUGETLB setup.
* Remove unecessary extra can_do_mlock() test in shmem_lock().
* Rename user_can_mlock to user_shm_lock and user_subtract_mlock
to user_shm_unlock.
* Use user instead of current->user to fit in 80 cols on SHM_LOCK.

This moves duplicate BUG, PAGE_BUG, BUG_ON, and WARN_ON code to asm-generic
and makes them slightly more consistent. This cleanup is also preparatory
work for making BUG and WARN verbosity configurable.

This patch adds support for the O_NOATIME open flag (GNU extension):
int O_NOATIME Macro
If this bit is set, read will not update the access time of the file.
See File Times. This is used by programs that do backups, so that
backing a file up does not count as reading it. Only the owner of the
file or the superuser may use this bit.
It is useful if you want to do something with the file atime (for instance,
moving files that have not been accessed in a while to somewhere else, or
something like Debian's popularity-contest) but you also want to read all
files periodically (for instance, tripwire or debsums).
Currently, the program that reads all files periodically has to use utimes,
which can race with the atime update:
A B
open
fstat
read
open
read
close
close
utimes
And the file still has the old atime, instead of the new one from when B
did the read from it. This problem does not happen if A uses O_NOATIME
instead of utimes to preserve the atime.
This patch adds the O_NOATIME constant for all architectures, but it would
also be possible to add it one architecture at a time by defining it to 0
when not defined in asm-*.
