200803dfe4 [PATCH] irqpoll
Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options.  Its effectiveness
varies we've found in the Fedora case.  Quite a few systems with misdescribed
IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll.  It also fixes up the VIA systems
although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).

A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for.  In those cases it
doesn't help.

fb3cc4320e [PATCH] blk: light iocontext ops
get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io
context creations.  Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can
only be created while in process context of the current process.

Also, split the function in 2.  A light version, current_io_context does not
elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process
context, because the process holds a reference itself.

e24c2d963a [PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting advice
After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.

Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
PCI.  There are three forms of the advice:

1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
   on some particular boundary for best performance.

2) Burst on some byte count multiple.  A DMA burst to some multiple of
   number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
   on an exact multiple for best performance.

   The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
   controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
   chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
   which hurts performance a lot.

3) Burst on a single byte count multiple.  Bursts shall end
   exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.

   Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way.  They
   disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
   boundary.

   Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
   That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
   add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
   and give advice accordingly.

2311b1f2bb [PATCH] PCI: fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch
This is an updated version of Ben's fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch
which is in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1.

It fixes the patch to work on PPC iSeries, removes some debug printks
at Ben's request, and incorporates your
fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64-fix.patch also.

Originally from Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch was discussed at length on linux-pci and so far, the last
iteration of it didn't raise any comment.  It's effect is a nop on
architecture that don't define the new pci_resource_to_user() callback
anyway.  It allows architecture like ppc who put weird things inside of
PCI resource structures to convert to some different value for user
visible ones.  It also fixes mmap'ing of IO space on those archs.

b1bb248a5d [PATCH] ACPI based I/O APIC hot-plug: add interfaces
This patch adds the following new interfaces for I/O xAPIC
hotplug. The implementation of these interfaces depends on each
architecture.

    o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr,
			       u32 gsi_base);

        This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by
        phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address
        to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system
        interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns
        0 on success, or negative value on error.

    o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base);

        This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by
        gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or

c431ada45d [PATCH] acpi bridge hotadd: ACPI based root bridge hot-add
When you hot-plug a (root) bridge hierarchy, it may have p2p bridges and
devices attached to it that have not been configured by firmware.  In this
case, we need to configure the devices before starting them.  This patch
separates device start from device scan so that we can introduce the
configuration step in the middle.

I kept the existing semantics for pci_scan_bus() since there are a huge number
of callers to that function.

Also, I have no way of testing the changes I made to the parisc files, so this
needs review by those folks.  Sorry for the massive cross-post, this touches
files in many different places.

Obviously you lose things like hot unplug with the Bartlomiej IDE layer
at the moment but that won't matter to most users.

The patch does the following
- Add IT8211/12 to pci_ids.h
- Add Makefile/Kconfig entry
- Add it8212 driver

802eae7c80 [PATCH] Return probe redesign: architecture independent changes
The following is the second version of the function return probe patches
I sent out earlier this week.  Changes since my last submission include:

* Fix in ppc64 code removing an unneeded call to re-enable preemption
* Fix a build problem in ia64 when kprobes was turned off
* Added another BUG_ON check to each of the architecture trampoline
  handlers

My initial patch description ==>

 From my experiences with adding return probes to x86_64 and ia64, and the
feedback on LKML to those patches, I think we can simplify the design
for return probes.

The following patch tweaks the original design such that:

* Instead of storing the stack address in the return probe instance, the
  task pointer is stored.  This gives us all we need in order to:
    - find the correct return probe instance when we enter the trampoline
      (even if we are recursing)
    - find all left-over return probe instances when the task is going away

  This has the side effect of simplifying the implementation since more
  work can be done in kernel/kprobes.c since architecture specific knowledge
  of the stack layout is no longer required.  Specifically, we no longer have:
	- arch_get_kprobe_task()
	- arch_kprobe_flush_task()
	- get_rp_inst_tsk()
	- get_rp_inst()
	- trampoline_post_handler() <see next bullet>

* Instead of splitting the return probe handling and cleanup logic across
  the pre and post trampoline handlers, all the work is pushed into the
  pre function (trampoline_probe_handler), and then we skip single stepping
  the original function.  In this case the original instruction to be single
  stepped was just a NOP, and we can do without the extra interruption.

The new flow of events to having a return probe handler execute when a target
function exits is:

* At system initialization time, a kprobe is inserted at the beginning of
  kretprobe_trampoline.  kernel/kprobes.c use to handle this on it's own,
  but ia64 needed to do this a little differently (i.e. a function pointer
  is really a pointer to a structure containing the instruction pointer and
  a global pointer), so I added the notion of arch_init(), so that
  kernel/kprobes.c:init_kprobes() now allows architecture specific
  initialization by calling arch_init() before exiting.  Each architecture
  now registers a kprobe on it's own trampoline function.

* register_kretprobe() will insert a kprobe at the beginning of the targeted
  function with the kprobe pre_handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe
  (still no change)

* When the target function is entered, the kprobe is fired, calling
  arch_prepare_kretprobe (still no change)

* In arch_prepare_kretprobe() we try to get a free instance and if one is
  available then we fill out the instance with a pointer to the return probe,
  the original return address, and a pointer to the task structure (instead
  of the stack address.)  Just like before we change the return address
  to the trampoline function and mark the instance as used.

  If multiple return probes are registered for a given target function,
  then arch_prepare_kretprobe() will get called multiple times for the same
  task (since our kprobe implementation is able to handle multiple kprobes
  at the same address.)  Past the first call to arch_prepare_kretprobe,
  we end up with the original address stored in the return probe instance
  pointing to our trampoline function. (This is a significant difference
  from the original arch_prepare_kretprobe design.)

* Target function executes like normal and then returns to kretprobe_trampoline.

* kprobe inserted on the first instruction of kretprobe_trampoline is fired
  and calls trampoline_probe_handler() (no change here)

* trampoline_probe_handler() consumes each of the instances associated with
  the current task by calling the registered handler function and marking
  the instance as unused until an instance is found that has a return address
  different then the trampoline function.

  (change similar to my previous ia64 RFC)

* If the task is killed with some left-over return probe instances (meaning
  that a target function was entered, but never returned), then we just
  free any instances associated with the task.  (Not much different other
  then we can handle this without calling architecture specific functions.)

  There is a known problem that this patch does not yet solve where
  registering a return probe flush_old_exec or flush_thread will put us
  in a bad state.  Most likely the best way to handle this is to not allow
  registering return probes on these two functions.

  (Significant change)

This patch series applies to the 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 kernel, and provides:
  * kernel/kprobes.c changes
  * i386 patch of existing return probes implementation
  * x86_64 patch of existing return probe implementation
  * ia64 implementation
  * ppc64 implementation (provided by Ananth)

This patch implements the architecture independant changes for a reworking
of the kprobes based function return probes design. Changes include:

  * Removing functions for querying a return probe instance off a stack address
  * Removing the stack_addr field from the kretprobe_instance definition,
    and adding a task pointer
  * Adding architecture specific initialization via arch_init()
  * Removing extern definitions for the architecture trampoline functions
    (this isn't needed anymore since the architecture handles the
     initialization of the kprobe in the return probe trampoline function.)

ffaa8bd6c9 [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable
I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
patch.

This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.

There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
(gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).

Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
per-cpu-safe.

The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

5da0106f0b [PATCH] USB: wireless usb <linux/usb_ch9.h> declarations
This provides declarations for new requests, descriptors, and bitfields as
defined in the Wireless USB 1.0 spec.  Device support will involve a new
"Wire Adapter" device class, connecting a USB Host to a cluster of wireless
USB devices.  There will be two adapter types:

  * Host Wireless Adapter (HWA):  the downstream link is wireless, which
    connects a wireless USB host to wireless USB devices (not unlike like
    a hub) including to the second type of adapter.

  * Device Wireless Adapter (DWA): the upstream link is wireless, for
    connecting existing USB devices through wired links into the cluser.

All wireless USB devices will need persistent (and secure!) key storage, and
it's probable that Linux -- or device firmware -- will need to be involved
with that to bootstrap the initial secure key exchange.

Some user interface is required in that initial key exchange, and since the
most "hands-off" one is a wired USB link, I suspect wireless operation will
usually not be the only mode for wireless USB devices.  (Plus, devices can
recharge batteries using wired USB...)  All other key exchange protocols need
error prone user interactions, like copying and/or verifying keys.

It'll likely be a while before we have commercial Wireless USB hardware,
much less Linux implementations that know how to use it.

3b18152c32 [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler updates
- Adjust slice values

- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
  prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
  higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
  coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
  first set up the queue.

- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
  done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
  the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
  need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
  allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.

- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
  it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).

- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
  well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
  property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
  could be considered sync, when they were really async.

- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

- Various other cleanups and fixes

169a3e6663 bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hash
Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding
balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port
information for hashing to select peer.

Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode.  Jason's
original comment is as follows:

The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:

      - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
        * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
          of different hashing policies for mode 2.  The original mode 2
          policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
        * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()

This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco,
Foundry and IBM, which are explained in

   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument.  This allows to
get exact register state at the point of the crash.  If we come from direct
panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before
crashdump.

This hooks into two places:
die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling
do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal
fault.

die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the
pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly
at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper
information.

f8cbd99bd3 [PATCH] sched: voluntary kernel preemption
This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'.  The
3 models can be selected from a new menu:

            (X) No Forced Preemption (Server)
            ( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)
            ( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)

we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model.

Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched()
(reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check.  It is lighter
than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies.  It
represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff.

It has no runtime impact at all if disabled.  Here are size stats that show
how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size:

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 3618774  547184  179896 4345854  424ffe vmlinux.stock
 3626406  547184  179896 4353486  426dce vmlinux.voluntary   +0.2%
 3748414  548640  179896 4476950  445016 vmlinux.preempt     +3.5%

voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%.

This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's
also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora
as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to
use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

1a20ff27ef [PATCH] Dynamic sched domains: sched changes
The following patches add dynamic sched domains functionality that was
extensively discussed on lkml and lse-tech.  I would like to see this added to
-mm

o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler
  load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched
  domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the
  system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to
  pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by
  the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal
  workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC
  applications that are throughput sensitive

o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c
  that makes dynamic sched domains possible.
o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain.
  Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains
  through the cpuset file system interface
o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well
o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests
  indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken)
o I have tested it extensively on x86.
o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of
  the fast paths are affected

147cbb4bbe [PATCH] sched: balance on fork
Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware.  Use this
to also do balance on fork balancing.  Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the
NUMA domain.

The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual
core, multi socket opterons.  What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to
a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our
sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a
new one.

This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

7897986bad [PATCH] sched: balance timers
Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals.  Allow each
interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load.
0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent
sample weighted at 2^(idx-1).  To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased).

So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

b2b1866006 [PATCH] RCU: clean up a few remaining synchronize_kernel() calls
2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
all) in comments.  This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:

- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
  handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
  it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.

- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
  handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler.  Again,
  synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
  hardcore realtime use.

- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
  with NMIs.  As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...

- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
  comment is for list_del_rcu().

- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
  since this is interacting with RCU read side.

- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
  synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
boot to support cpu hotplug.

Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
Andi Kleen.  Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
__devinitdata.

If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
and __cpudevinit.

read/write functions only.  For readv and writev, the generic fallback is
used.  For aio, we rely on the application doing the fallback.  Since our
"synchronous" function does memcpy immediately anyway, there is no
performance difference between using the fallbacks or implementing each
operation.

c988d2b284 [PATCH] modules: add version and srcversion to sysfs
This patch adds version and srcversion files to
/sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields
of the module's modinfo section (if present).

/sys/module/e1000
|-- srcversion
`-- version

This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it
now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm.

Why put this in sysfs?

a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel
   modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they
   can tell the version of a given module.  The autoinstaller feature, for
   example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a
   driver (i.e.  if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that
   provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile
   and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet
   have that version.

b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out
   modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which
   looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/...  actually matching what is loaded
   into the kernel already.  Hence asking sysfs for this.

c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be
   possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the
   version) to a newly loaded module.  sysfs will have the
   currently-built-in version info, for comparison.

d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's
   running presently - a question I get often.

There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver
authors.

As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,
though the implementation is nearly completely new.  Compiled and run on
x86 and x86_64.

190e4fbf96 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: initialize recovery directory
NFSv4 clients are required to know what state they have on the server so that
they can reclaim it on server reboot.  However, it is possible for
pathalogical combinations of server reboots and network partitions to leave a
client in a state where it cannot know whether it has lost its state on the
server.

For this reason, rfc3530 requires that we store some information about clients
to stable storage.

So we maintain a directory /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery with a subdirectory for
each client with active state.  We leave open the possibility of including
files underneath each such subdirectory with information about the client, but
for now the subdirectories are empty.

We create a client subdirectory whenever a client makes its first non-reclaim
open_confirm.

We remove a client subdirectory whenever either
        a) its lease expires, or
	b) the grace period ends without it reclaiming anything.
When handling reclaims, we allow the reclaim if and only if the client doing
the reclaim has a subdirectory.

This patch adds just the code to scan the recovery directory on nfsd startup.

496400014f [PATCH] nfsd4: fix fh_expire_type
We're returning NFS4_FH_NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN | NFS4_FH_VOL_RENAME for the
fh_expire_type attribute.  This is incorrect:
	1. The spec actually only allows NOEXPIRE_WITH_OPEN when
	   VOLATILE_ANY is also set.
	2. Filehandles for open files can expire, if the file is removed
	   and there is a reboot.
	3. Filehandles are only volatile on rename in the nosubtree check
	   case.

Unfortunately, there's no way to indicate that we only expire on remove.  So
our only choice is FH4_VOLATILE_ANY.  Although it's redundant, we also set
FH4_VOL_RENAME in the subtree check case, since subtreecheck does actually
cause problems in practice and it seems possibly useful to give clients some
way to distinguish that case.

Fix a mispelled #define while we're at it.

3b6259432d [PATCH] ipmi: add power cycle capability
This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff.  It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.

The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification.  However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it.  A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state.  This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.

The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above.  During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
 If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

3e30148c3d [PATCH] Keys: Make request-key create an authorisation key
The attached patch makes the following changes:

 (1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".

     This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
     another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
     created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.

     Authorisation keys hold two references:

     (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
     	 constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
     	 rendering it of no further use.

     (b) The "authorising process". This is either:

     	 (i) the process that called request_key(), or:

     	 (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
     	      authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
     	      process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
     	      referred to by the new authorisation key.

	 This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
	 will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
	 the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.

 (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
     /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.

 (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
     it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
     calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
     specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
     (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
     credentials.

     This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
     to the authorising process.

 (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
     direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
     keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
     calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
     credentials of the authorising process.

     This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
     to the authorising process.

 (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
     KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
     than the process doing the instantiation.

 (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
     request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
     done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
     constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.

 (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
     process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
     a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

76d8aeabfe [PATCH] keys: Discard key spinlock and use RCU for key payload
The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:

 (1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.

 (2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
     write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.

     The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
     semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
     rendering the spinlock superfluous.

     The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.

 (3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
     keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
     taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
     not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
     keyring be pinned.

 (4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
     of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
     prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.

 (5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
     includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
     also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
     changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the
     payload. This would then see the supposed RCU payload and the on-key data
     length getting out of sync.

     I'm tempted to drop the key's datalen entirely, except that it's used in
     conjunction with quota management and so is a little tricky to get rid
     of.

 (6) Update the keys documentation.

6408f79cce [LIB]: Naive finite state machine based textsearch
A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token)
representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read
sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number
of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a
specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available
type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n].

The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing
whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode
is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting
TS_FSM_HEAD_IGNORE as the first token in the chain.

The runtime performance of the algorithm should be around O(n),
however while in strict mode the average runtime can be better.

This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems.  All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug.  I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

ef3daeda7b [PATCH] Don't force O_LARGEFILE for 32 bit processes on ia64
In ia64 kernel, the O_LARGEFILE flag is forced when opening a file.  This
is problematic for execution of 32 bit processes, which are not largefile
aware, either by SW emulation or by HW execution.

For such processes, the problem is two-fold:

1) When trying to open a file that is larger than 4G
   the operation should fail, but it's not
2) Writing to offset larger than 4G should fail, but
   it's not

The proposed patch takes advantage of the way 32 bit processes are
identified in ia64 systems.  Such processes have PER_LINUX32 for their
personality.  With the patch, the ia64 kernel will not enforce the
O_LARGEFILE flag if the current process has PER_LINUX32 set.  The behavior
for all other architectures remains unchanged.

1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible.  The core dump is
    owned by the current user and no security is applied.  This is intended
    for system debugging situations only.  Ptrace is unchecked.

2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
    readable by root only.  This allows the end user to remove such a dump but
    not access it directly.  For security reasons core dumps in this mode will
    not overwrite one another or other files.  This mode is appropriate when
    adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.

Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines
should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go
everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used
as a bool in untouched code)

Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat
rather than for merging. Changing that field would create a gigantic
diff because it is used all over the place.

ea32c65cc2 [PATCH] kprobes: Temporary disarming of reentrant probe
In situations where a kprobes handler calls a routine which has a probe on it,
then kprobes_handler() disarms the new probe forever.  This patch removes the
above limitation by temporarily disarming the new probe.  When the another
probe hits while handling the old probe, the kprobes_handler() saves previous
kprobes state and handles the new probe without calling the new kprobes
registered handlers.  kprobe_post_handler() restores back the previous kprobes
state and the normal execution continues.

However on x86_64 architecture, re-rentrancy is provided only through
pre_handler().  If a routine having probe is referenced through
post_handler(), then the probes on that routine are disarmed forever, since
the exception stack is gets changed after the processor single steps the
instruction of the new probe.

This patch includes generic changes to support temporary disarming on
reentrancy of probes.

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.

b94cce926b [PATCH] kprobes: function-return probes
This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386
architecture.  This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a
function returns.

1. API

Two new functions are added to kprobes:

	int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);
	void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);

2. Registration and unregistration

2.1 Register

  To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following
  fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the
  kretprobe address as an argument:

  kp.addr - the function's address

  handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but
  before control returns to the return address in the caller.

  maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that
  can be active concurrently.  For example, if the function is non-
  recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1
  should be enough.  If the function is non-recursive and can never
  relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should
  be enough.  maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance
  objects to allocate for this particular probed function.  If maxactive <=
  0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 *
  NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS)

  For example:

    struct kretprobe rp;
    rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */
    rp.handler = /*return probe handler */
    rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */
    register_kretprobe(&rp);

  The following field may also be of interest:

  nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is
  registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but
  there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the
  function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low).

2.2 Unregister

  To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls
  unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered
  previously.  If a probed function is running when the return probe is
  unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't
  be run.

3. Limitations

3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for
    x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon.

3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack
    (or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc).  This may
    cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed
    function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline.

3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in
    2.6.12-rc3-mm3.

3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish
    a return probe and a jprobe on the same function.  A patch to remove
    this limitation is being tested.

This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap),
and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including
Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

35a82d1a53 [PATCH] optimise loop driver a bit
Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot.  Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request.  Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement.  This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is
nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).

Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K
block size, 4K page size).  System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

991114c6fa [PATCH] fix for prune_icache()/forced final iput() races
Based on analysis and a patch from Russ Weight <rweight@us.ibm.com>

There is a race condition that can occur if an inode is allocated and then
released (using iput) during the ->fill_super functions.  The race
condition is between kswapd and mount.

For most filesystems this can only happen in an error path when kswapd is
running concurrently.  For isofs, however, the error can occur in a more
common code path (which is how the bug was found).

The logic here is "we want final iput() to free inode *now* instead of
letting it sit in cache if fs is going down or had not quite come up".  The
problem is with kswapd seeing such inodes in the middle of being killed and
happily taking over.

The clean solution would be to tell kswapd to leave those inodes alone and
let our final iput deal with them.  I.e.  add a new flag
(I_FORCED_FREEING), set it before write_inode_now() there and make
prune_icache() leave those alone.

This patch splits del_timer_sync() into 2 functions.  The new one,
try_to_del_timer_sync(), returns -1 when it hits executing timer.

It can be used in interrupt context, or when the caller hold locks which
can prevent completion of the timer's handler.

NOTE.  Currently it can't be used in interrupt context in UP case, because
->running_timer is used only with CONFIG_SMP.

Should the need arise, it is possible to kill #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in
set_running_timer(), it is cheap.

55c888d6d0 [PATCH] timers fixes/improvements
This patch tries to solve following problems:

1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after
   del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck
   timer_pending().

2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine
   if the timer is running on that cpu.

   With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain
   del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for
   completion of the currently running timer.

   The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use
   add_timer_on().

3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself.

   If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently
   running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on
   CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1.

4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks
   at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers.

   The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not
   need memory barriers.

Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case
->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock
because ->base can be == NULL.

This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is
pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del()
when the timer is deleted.

The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized
in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the
tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied
to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked
too.

So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could
be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers).

When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list
(which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is
possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains
locked.

This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL,
locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same.

__mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base.
However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the
timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and
unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base,
and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not
possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed
while the timer's handler is running on the old base.

__run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear
pending flag.

So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect
whether it is running or not.

We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it.

We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb()
before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer()
did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add()
could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are
serialized through base->lock.

One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch
adds global

        struct timer_base_s {
                spinlock_t lock;
                struct timer_list *running_timer;
        } __init_timer_base;

which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s
struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base.

It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global
__init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first
time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates
to the local CPU.

29751f6991 [PATCH] sparsemem hotplug base
Make sparse's initalization be accessible at runtime.  This allows sparse
mappings to be created after boot in a hotplug situation.

This patch is separated from the previous one just to give an indication how
much of the sparse infrastructure is *just* for hotplug memory.

The section_mem_map doesn't really store a pointer.  It stores something that
is convenient to do some math against to get a pointer.  It isn't valid to
just do *section_mem_map, so I don't think it should be stored as a pointer.

There are a couple of things I'd like to store about a section.  First of all,
the fact that it is !NULL does not mean that it is present.  There could be
such a combination where section_mem_map *is* NULL, but the math gets you
properly to a real mem_map.  So, I don't think that check is safe.

Since we're storing 32-bit-aligned structures, we have a few bits in the
bottom of the pointer to play with.  Use one bit to encode whether there's
really a mem_map there, and the other one to tell whether there's a valid
section there.  We need to distinguish between the two because sometimes
there's a gap between when a section is discovered to be present and when we
can get the mem_map for it.

641c767389 [PATCH] sparsemem swiss cheese numa layouts
The part of the sparsemem patch which modifies memmap_init_zone() has recently
become a problem.  It changes behavior so that there is a call to
pfn_to_page() for each individual page inside of a node's range:
node_start_pfn through node_end_pfn.  It used to simply do this once, at the
beginning of the node, but having sparsemem's non-contiguous mem_map[]s inside
of a node made it necessary to change.

Mike Kravetz recently wrote a patch which made the NUMA code accept some new
kinds of layouts.  The system's memory was laid out like this, with node 0's
memory in two pieces: one before and one after node 1's memory:

	Node 0: +++++     +++++
	Node 1:      +++++

Previous behavior before Mike's patch was to assign nodes like this:

	Node 0: 00000     XXXXX
	Node 1:      11111

Where the 'X' areas were simply thrown away.  The new behavior was to make the
pg_data_t span node 0 across all of its areas, including areas that are really
node 1's: Node 0: 000000000000000 Node 1: 11111

This wastes a little bit of mem_map space, but ends up being OK, and more
fully utilizes the system's memory.  memmap_init_zone() initializes all of the
"struct page"s for node 0, even for the "hole", but those never get used,
because there is no pfn_to_page() that resolves to those pages.  However, only
calling pfn_to_page() once, memmap_init_zone() always uses the pages that were
allocated for node0->node_mem_map because:

	struct page *start = pfn_to_page(start_pfn);
	// effectively start = &node->node_mem_map[0]
	for (page = start; page < (start + size); page++) {
		init_page_here();...
		page++;
	}

Slow, and wasteful, but generally harmless.

But, modify that to call pfn_to_page() for each loop iteration (like sparsemem
does):

	for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < < (start_pfn + size); pfn++++) {
		page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
	}

And you end up trying to initialize node 1's pages too early, along with bogus
data from node 0.  This patch checks for those weird layouts and declines to
touch the pages, making the more frequent pfn_to_page() calls OK to do.

d41dee369b [PATCH] sparsemem memory model
Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[].  This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems.  Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.

A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA.  When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.

Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous.  It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.

Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory.  This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.

In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags.  Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations.  However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions.  Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.

One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags.  It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room.  But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.

This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM.  It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

93b7504e3e [PATCH] Introduce new Kconfig option for NUMA or DISCONTIG
There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch between
what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA.

Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA, independently.
All of the current NUMA implementations require an implementation of
DISCONTIG.  Because of this, quite a lot of code which is really needed for
NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs.  For SPARSEMEM, we changed some
of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n
case.

Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code that is
needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from code that is
specific to DISCONTIG.

One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require every
architecture to be converted over.  All of the current implementations
should "just work", only the ones implementing SPARSEMEM will have to be
fixed up.

The change to free_area_init() makes it work inside, or out of the new
config option.

6f167ec721 [PATCH] sparsemem base: simple NUMA remap space allocator
Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space.  This space is very
scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local.

This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep
the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all
architectures.

Issues:
o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended
  to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet
  do.  Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose.

408fde81c1 [PATCH] remove non-DISCONTIG use of pgdat->node_mem_map
This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
of the DISCONTIG code.  On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.

There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures.  Its use
along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent.  It has
been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:

	pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
	nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)

I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
"NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways.  I
believe the newer names are much clearer.

These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead.  We could
make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
much at once.  One thing at a time.

This patch removes more code than it adds.

ebc3f64b86 [X25]: Fast select with no restriction on response
This patch is a follow up to patch 1 regarding "Selective Sub Address
matching with call user data".  It allows use of the Fast-Select-Acceptance
optional user facility for X.25.

This patch just implements fast select with no restriction on response
(NRR).  What this means (according to ITU-T Recomendation 10/96 section
6.16) is that if in an incoming call packet, the relevant facility bits are
set for fast-select-NRR, then the called DTE can issue a direct response to
the incoming packet using a call-accepted packet that contains
call-user-data.  This patch allows such a response.  

The called DTE can also respond with a clear-request packet that contains
call-user-data.  However, this feature is currently not implemented by the
patch.

How is Fast Select Acceptance used?
By default, the system does not allow fast select acceptance (as before).
To enable a response to fast select acceptance,  
After a listen socket in created and bound as follows
	socket(AF_X25, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
	bind(call_soc, (struct sockaddr *)&locl_addr, sizeof(locl_addr));
but before a listen system call is made, the following ioctl should be used.
	ioctl(call_soc,SIOCX25CALLACCPTAPPRV);
Now the listen system call can be made
	listen(call_soc, 4);
After this, an incoming-call packet will be accepted, but no call-accepted 
packet will be sent back until the following system call is made on the socket
that accepts the call
	ioctl(vc_soc,SIOCX25SENDCALLACCPT);
The network (or cisco xot router used for testing here) will allow the 
application server's call-user-data in the call-accepted packet, 
provided the call-request was made with Fast-select NRR.

cb65d506c3 [X25]: Selective sub-address matching with call user data.
From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@tusc.com.au>

This is the first (independent of the second) patch of two that I am
working on with x25 on linux (tested with xot on a cisco router).  Details
are as follows.

Current state of module:

A server using the current implementation (2.6.11.7) of the x25 module will
accept a call request/ incoming call packet at the listening x.25 address,
from all callers to that address, as long as NO call user data is present
in the packet header.

If the server needs to choose to accept a particular call request/ incoming
call packet arriving at its listening x25 address, then the kernel has to
allow a match of call user data present in the call request packet with its
own.  This is required when multiple servers listen at the same x25 address
and device interface.  The kernel currently matches ALL call user data, if
present.

Current Changes:

This patch is a follow up to the patch submitted previously by Andrew
Hendry, and allows the user to selectively control the number of octets of
call user data in the call request packet, that the kernel will match.  By
default no call user data is matched, even if call user data is present. 
To allow call user data matching, a cudmatchlength > 0 has to be passed
into the kernel after which the passed number of octets will be matched. 
Otherwise the kernel behavior is exactly as the original implementation.

This patch also ensures that as is normally the case, no call user data
will be present in the Call accepted / call connected packet sent back to
the caller 

Future Changes on next patch:

There are cases however when call user data may be present in the call
accepted packet.  According to the X.25 recommendation (ITU-T 10/96)
section 5.2.3.2 call user data may be present in the call accepted packet
provided the fast select facility is used.  My next patch will include this
fast select utility and the ability to send up to 128 octets call user data
in the call accepted packet provided the fast select facility is used.  I
am currently testing this, again with xot on linux and cisco.

fbeec2e155 [NETPOLL]: allow multiple netpoll_clients to register against one interface
This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
same network device.  Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
however.  In practice, this restriction has not been problematic.  It is
worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.

The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in.  Aside
from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
net_device to an individual struct netpoll.

A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
pointer.  The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
removal, and the lock should be uncontested.

115c1d6e61 [NETPOLL]: Introduce a netpoll_info struct
This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device
will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll.  The reason for
this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock
should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll;  and 2) this is a first
step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the
same net_device.

The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure.  As
such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved.

055ffbea05 [PATCH] NFS: Fix handling of the umask when an NFSv3 default acl is present.
NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies
 the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server.
 This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a
 default ACL.  In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and
 only the default ACL determines the file's effective permissions.

 Usually its the server's task to conditionally apply the umask.  But
 since the server knows nothing about the umask, we have to do it on the
 client side.  This patch tries to fetch the parent directory's default
 ACL before creating a new file, computes the appropriate create mode to
 send to the server, and finally sets the new file's access and default
 acl appropriately.

 Many thanks to Buck Huppmann <buchk@pobox.com> for sending the initial

Ensure that we don't create an RPC client without checking that the server
 does indeed support the RPC program + version that we are trying to set up.

 This enables us to immediately return an error to "mount" if it turns out
 that the server is only supporting NFSv2, when we requested NFSv3 or NFSv4.

b3d5496ea5 [PATCH] I2C: Kill address ranges in non-sensors i2c chip drivers
Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).

Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.

A documentation update is included.

The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.

This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

7bfa19f274 [PATCH] md: allow md to update multiple superblocks in parallel.
currently, md updates all superblocks (one on each device) in series.  It
waits for one write to complete before starting the next.  This isn't a big
problem as superblock updates don't happen that often.

However it is neater to do it in parallel, and if the drives in the array have
gone to "sleep" after a period of idleness, then waking them is parallel is
faster (and someone else should be worrying about power drain).

Futher, we will need parallel superblock updates for a future patch which
keeps the intent-logging bitmap near the superblock.

Also remove the silly code that retired superblock updates 100 times.  This
simply never made sense.

3d310eb7b3 [PATCH] md: fix deadlock due to md thread processing delayed requests.
Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated.
This is best done by the md_thread.

The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later
handling by the md_thread.

However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread
tries to submit requests to its own array.

So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits
for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself.

This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6

32a7627cf3 [PATCH] md: optimised resync using Bitmap based intent logging
With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged
to a bitmap file.  Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set
before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all
sectors are complete.

After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise
resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated.

Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can
make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction.  This is not implemented in
this patch.

Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a
separate device.

The patch only provided infrastructure.  It does not update any personalities
to bitmap intent logging.

Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file.  This patch has minimal
impact on such arrays.

1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced)
 from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
 The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit
 in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
 the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
 Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
 0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
 that it skipped the sectors.  This allows md to take this into account
 in the speed calculations.
 Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
 that is coming will use this.

dbce706e25 [PATCH] uml: add and use generic hw_controller_type->release
With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>

Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.

This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
last "action" for that irq is removed.

Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd.  For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e.  new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().

Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll().  Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt.  So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.

In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.

Also some cosmetic improvements are included.

This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).

22329b511a [PATCH] ioc4: Core driver rewrite
This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure
of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers.

These changes are motivated by several factors:

- The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e.
  multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes
  within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization
  issues.  Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable.

- The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not
  yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction
  PCI device.  In order to properly handle device addition and removal
  as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific
  driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly.

- All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value.  As
  not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable
  these drivers independently.

- The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level
  drivers, as it makes direct calls to them.  This situation should be
  reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver)
  in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model.

- IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on
  the PCI bus clock speed.  Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the
  speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken.

This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed
IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and
deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal.  By tracking these
modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly.  PCI resource
management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and
IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also
handled in this core driver.

This patch:

The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is
not a multi-function PCI device.  Additionally, various PCI resources of the
IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by
driver is not clearly delineated.  Due to the current driver design, all core
and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not
all IOC4 hardware features are being used.

This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a
subdriver registration service.  Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers
can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and
deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module
deletion will work).  The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI
resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly
delineate module ownership of these items.

f14f75b811 [PATCH] ia64 uncached alloc
This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic
allocator (genalloc).  The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2
mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split
off from the driver.

The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory
etc.  The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2
driver.

Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory.  The SGI SN architecture requires
it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA
cluster.  The specific user for this is the XPC code.  Another application is
large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can
be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN
hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose.  Performance
of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial.  This
is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch.

Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up
with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device
drivers and other subsystems as they please.  For instance to handle onboard
device memory.  It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which
is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2
right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently).

On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie.  it isn't safe to
access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory
accessed in cached mode.  The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory
in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc.  The
uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages
and sticks them into the uncached pool.  Only after these chunks have been
utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory.
Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.

4ae7c03943 [PATCH] Periodically drain non local pagesets
The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large
NUMA systems.  F.e.  on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there
will be 256*512 pagesets.  If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are
talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in
potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets.  The typical
cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of
memory being trapped in off node pagesets.  Off node memory may be rarely
used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in
seldom used pagesets without this patch.

The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds.  The
following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by
tying into the slab flush.

The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages
currently in each pageset.

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.

e7c8d5c995 [PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages
This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.

Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets.  So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself.  Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.

So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone.  This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.

We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

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.

Notes:
	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
	  analagous to set_pte()
	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

0c35bbadc5 [PATCH] VM: add __GFP_NORECLAIM
When using the early zone reclaim, it was noticed that allocating new pages
that should be spread across the whole system caused eviction of local pages.

This adds a new GFP flag to prevent early reclaim from happening during
certain allocation attempts.  The example that is implemented here is for page
cache pages.  We want page cache pages to be spread across the whole system,
and we don't want page cache pages to evict other pages to get local memory.

753ee72896 [PATCH] VM: early zone reclaim
This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim.  The goal of this
patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back
onto another zone.

One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines.  With the default allocator
behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be
off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.

This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim.  It is selected on a
per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.

Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch
4/4).  Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j"
kernel build.  Even with this patch the System Time is higher on
average, but it seems tolerable.  Here are some numbers for kernbench
runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run:

			wall  user   sys   %cpu  ctx sw.  sleeps
			----  ----   ---   ----   ------  ------
No patch		1009  1384   847   258   298170   504402
w/patch, no reclaim     880   1376   667   288   254064   396745
w/patch & reclaim       1079  1385   926   252   291625   548873

These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right
after system boot.  Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so
these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim
the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time.

I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the
reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away.

Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages
takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim
(due to remote memory accesses).

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.)

acaefc25d2 [PATCH] libfs: add simple attribute files
Based on the discussion about spufs attributes, this is my suggestion
for a more generic attribute file support that can be used by both
debugfs and spufs.

Simple attribute files behave similarly to sequential files from
a kernel programmers perspective in that a standard set of file
operations is provided and only an open operation needs to
be written that registers file specific get() and set() functions.

These operations are defined as

void foo_set(void *data, u64 val); and
u64 foo_get(void *data);

where data is the inode->u.generic_ip pointer of the file and the
operations just need to make send of that pointer. The infrastructure
makes sure this works correctly with concurrent access and partial
read calls.

A macro named DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE is provided to further simplify
using the attributes.

This patch already contains the changes for debugfs to use attributes
for its internal file operations.

0d3e5a2e39 [PATCH] Driver Core: fix bk-driver-core kills ppc64
There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things.  The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one.  In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.

The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:

	dev->driver = NULL;

Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.

This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.

Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.

The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:

- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
  1 - If device is bound
  0 - If device not bound, and no error
  error - If there was an error.

- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
  device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
  prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).

- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.

- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()

- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
  around all of the operations.

- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
  internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
  callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
  necessary.
