5dfe4c964a [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Since then, m32r grabbed two copies.

f7feaca77d msi: Make MSI useable more architectures
The arch hooks arch_setup_msi_irq and arch_teardown_msi_irq are now
responsible for allocating and freeing the linux irq in addition to
setting up the the linux irq to work with the interrupt.

arch_setup_msi_irq now takes a pci_device and a msi_desc and returns
an irq.

With this change in place this code should be useable by all platforms
except those that won't let the OS touch the hardware like ppc RTAS.

451fe00cf7 [IA64] Clear IRQ affinity when unregistered
When we offline a CPU, migrate_irqs() tries to determine whether the
affinity bits of the IRQ descriptor match any of the remaining online
CPUs.  If not, it fixes up the interrupt to point somewhere else.
Unfortunately, if an IRQ is unregistered the IRQ descriptor may still
have affinity to the CPU being offlined, but the no_irq_chip handler
doesn't provide a set_affinity function.  This causes us to hit the
WARN_ON in migrate_irqs().

The easiest solution seems to be setting all the bits in the affinity
mask when the last interrupt is removed from the vector.  I hit this on
an older kernel with Xen/ia64 using driver domains (so it probably needs
more testing on upstream).  Xen essentially uses the bind/unbind
interface in sysfs to unregister a device from a driver and thus
unregister the interrupt.

c2c77fe8df [IA64] Fix NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec()
This patch fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec().

The variable ia64_kimage is set in machine_kexec_prepare() which is
called from sys_kexec_load(). If kdump wasn't configured before,
ia64_kimage is NULL.  machine_kdump_on_init() passes ia64_kimage() to
machine_kexec() which assumes a valid value.

The patch also adds a few sanity checks for the image to simplify
debugging of similar problems in future.

87f76d3aaf [IA64] find thread for user rbs address
I encountered one problem when running ptrace test case the situation
is this: traced process's syscall parameter needs to be accessed, but
for sys_clone system call with clone_flag (CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM |
SIGCHLD) parameter.  This syscall's parameter accessing result is wrong.

The reason is that vforked child process mm point is the same, but
tgid is different. Without this patch find_thread_for_addr will return
vforked process if vforked process is also stopped, but not the thread
which calls vfork syscall.

ae0af3e346 [IA64] use snprintf() on features field of /proc/cpuinfo
Some patches have turned up on xen-devel recently to convert strcpy()
to safer alternatives and so forth.  While reviewing those patches
I noticed that the features string building could be cleaned up.

This patch uses snprintf() instead of strcpy() and direct character
pointer manipulation.  It makes the features string building safe and
gets rid of the special case for features output in show_cpuinfo()

Additionally I removed the (int) cast of ARRAY_SIZE, which seems to
serve no purpose.

90f9d70a58 [IA64] enable singlestep on system call
As is pointed out in
http://www.gelato.org/community/view_linear.php?id=1_1036&from=authors&value=Ian%20Wienand#1_1039,
if single step on break instruction, the break fault has higher
priority than the single-step trap. When the break fault handler
is entered, it advances the IP by 1 instruction so break instruction
single-stepping is skipped, actually it is next instruction which
is single stepped.

This patch modifies this, it adds TIF_SINGLESTEP bit for thread
flags, and generate a fake sigtrap when single stepping break
instruction. Test case in attachment can verify this. Any comments
is welcome.

linux/uaccess.h was being included, but it seems that
really the following includes are needed.

asm/page.h: for __va() and PAGE_SHIFT
asm/uaccess.h: for copy_to_user()

I guess that linux/uaccess.h pulls in both asm/page.h and asm/uaccess.h.

29a002776b [PATCH] kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)
This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware.  It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs.  This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.

The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch.  This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs.  So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().

The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results.  It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

More detailed information is available in the following mail thread:

defad23020 ACPI_NUMA: fix HP IA64 simulator issue with extended memory domain
ACPI 3.0 incorporated the SRAT spec, upping the table version to 2,
and extending the size of the proximity domain from 1-byte to 4-bytes.
This extension was into a reserved field that firmware should
set to 0, but the HP simulator had non-zero values there
resulting in unexpected huge numbers.

So mask the domain down to 8-bits for now.
A more general fix will be to check the table version
supplied by firmware and get paranoid about reserved fields.

0888f06ac9 [PATCH] sched: fix bad missed wakeups in the i386, x86_64, ia64, ACPI and APM idle code
Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
system load, often in the milliseconds range.

After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:

                 _------=> CPU#

   <...>-5856  0D..1  619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0)

what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for
PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task()
for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!

the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:

    [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status

    During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
    memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
    to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
    no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
    to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.

the problem is this type of change:

        if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
-               clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+               current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
                smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
                while (!need_resched()) {
                        local_irq_disable();

this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:

        clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);

and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:

  static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
  {
          __asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
                  "btrl %1,%0"

hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:

  #define smp_mb__after_clear_bit()       barrier()

but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:

+               current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;

is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.

CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]

Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.

( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
  triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
  was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )

The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

df3e0d1c69 [IA64] kprobe clears qp bits for special instructions
On IA64 there exists some special instructions which
always need to be executed regradless of qp bits, such
as com.crel.unc, tbit.trel.unc etc.
This patch clears qp bits when inserting kprobe trap code
and disables probepoint on slot 1 for these special
instructions.

08ed38b680 [IA64] enable trap code on slot 1
Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive
8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on
slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and
changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break
number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle).

For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits,
kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled.

1cf24bdbbb [IA64] - Reduce overhead of FP exception logging messages
Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits
logging of messages.

There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code.

1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never
   updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on
   EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line.
   The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test
   from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!!

2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because
   multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at
   about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages
   are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate
   to ~1 per second.

ad1c3ba7e5 [IA64] Kexec/Kdump: honour non-zero crashkernel offset.
There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine
the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing
users's to sepcify it.

The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on
most architectures is for the user to always specify the address.
Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined.

With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if
the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided.

This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

45a98fc622 [IA64] CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP permutations
Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.

The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.

Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c
This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.
