f8b5473fcb [ARM] 3690/1: genirq: Introduce and make use of dummy irq chip
Patch from Thomas Gleixner

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

ARM has a couple of really dumb interrupt controllers.
Implement a generic one and fixup the ARM migration. ARM reused
the no_irq_chip for this purpose, but this does not work out
for platforms which are not converted to the new interrupt
type handling model.

10e5dce07e [PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byte
This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS
in such kind of scenario:
open(, O_TRUNC...)
ftruncate(, 1024)
ftruncate(, 0)

Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only.  This happen
because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for
last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but
`ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this.

To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch
removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to
call ufs_truncate.

47e5243afe [PATCH] uml: make copy_*_user atomic
Make __copy_*_user_inatomic really atomic to avoid "Sleeping function called in
atomic context" warnings, especially from futex code.

This is made by adding another kmap_atomic slot and making copy_*_user_skas
use kmap_atomic; also copy_*_user() becomes atomic, but that's true and is not
a problem for i386 (and we can always add might_sleep there as done
elsewhere).  For TT mode kmap is not used, so there's no need for this.

I've had to use another slot since both KM_USER0 and KM_USER1 are used
elsewhere and could cause conflicts.  Till now we reused the kmap_atomic slot
list from the subarch, but that's not needed as that list must contain the
common ones (used by generic code) + the ones used in architecture specific
code (and Uml till now used none); so I've taken the i386 one after comparing
it with ones from other archs, and added KM_UML_USERCOPY.

5adc8a6adc [PATCH] add rule filterkey
Add support for a rule key, which can be used to tie audit records to audit
rules.  This is useful when a watched file is accessed through a link or
symlink, as well as for general audit log analysis.

Because this patch uses a string key instead of an integer key, there is a bit
of extra overhead to do the kstrdup() when a rule fires.  However, we're also
allocating memory for the audit record buffer, so it's probably not that
significant.  I went ahead with a string key because it seems more
user-friendly.

Note that the user must ensure that filterkeys are unique.  The kernel only
checks for duplicate rules.

f83ef8c0b5 [IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6.  This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>.  His original description is:

	This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
	restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
	"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.

	This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
	to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
	over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
	TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
	will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.

	In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
	cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
	get TSO packets created by TCP layer.

	SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
	SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
	UFO is supported over IPv6 also

	The following table shows there is significant improvement in
	throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.

bcd7611117 [NET]: Generalise TSO-specific bits from skb_setup_caps
This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding
the sk_gso_type member to struct sock.  This makes sk_setup_caps generic
so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO.

The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation
for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to
live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock
caps field at the moment.

f8891e5e1f [PATCH] Light weight event counters
The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches
have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat.  They have no
essential function for the VM.

We use a simple increment of per cpu variables.  In order to avoid the most
severe races we disable preempt.  Preempt does not prevent the race between
an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics
counter.  However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one
increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that
the vm event counters have to be accurate.

In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each
counter.  For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a
single instruction.  This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.
 And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for
both architectures in most cases.

The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a
building of linux kernels without these counters.

The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully
results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted
(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction
concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).

Benefits:
- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction
  on i386 and x86_64.
- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.
  Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.
- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.
- Simple and easily extendable.
- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

ca889e6c45 [PATCH] Use Zoned VM Counters for NUMA statistics
The numa statistics are really event counters.  But they are per node and
so we have had special treatment for these counters through additional
fields on the pcp structure.  We can now use the per zone nature of the
zoned VM counters to realize these.

This will shrink the size of the pcp structure on NUMA systems.  We will
have some room to add additional per zone counters that will all still fit
in the same cacheline.

 Bits	Prior pcp size	  	Size after patch	We can add
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
 64	128 bytes (16 words)	80 bytes (10 words)	48
 32	 76 bytes (19 words)	56 bytes (14 words)	8 (64 byte cacheline)
							72 (128 byte)

Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with zoned vm
counters.  This has the side effect that global sums of these events now
show up in /proc/vmstat.

Also take the opportunity to move the zone_statistics() function from
page_alloc.c into vmstat.c.

nr_bounce is only used for proc output.  So it could be left as an event

We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are

This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to

The zone_reclaim_interval was necessary because we were not able to determine
how many unmapped pages exist in a zone.  Therefore we had to scan in
intervals to figure out if any pages were unmapped.

With the zoned counters and NR_ANON_PAGES we now know the number of pagecache
pages and the number of mapped pages in a zone.  So we can simply skip the
reclaim if there is an insufficient number of unmapped pages.  We use
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX as the boundary.

Drop all support for /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval.

f3dbd34460 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: split NR_ANON_PAGES off from NR_FILE_MAPPED
The current NR_FILE_MAPPED is used by zone reclaim and the dirty load
calculation as the number of mapped pagecache pages.  However, that is not
true.  NR_FILE_MAPPED includes the mapped anonymous pages.  This patch
separates those and therefore allows an accurate tracking of the anonymous
pages per zone.

It then becomes possible to determine the number of unmapped pages per zone
and we can avoid scanning for unmapped pages if there are none.

Also it may now be possible to determine the mapped/unmapped ratio in
get_dirty_limit.  Isnt the number of anonymous pages irrelevant in that
calculation?

Note that this will change the meaning of the number of mapped pages reported
in /proc/vmstat /proc/meminfo and in the per node statistics.  This may affect
user space tools that monitor these counters!  NR_FILE_MAPPED works like
NR_FILE_DIRTY.  It is only valid for pagecache pages.

Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter

65ba55f500 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: convert nr_mapped to per zone counter
nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of
a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining
when we need to reclaim memory in a zone.

We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new
per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off
from NR_MAPPED in the next patch).

We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations.  This avoids the
looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap +
zone reclaim).

2244b95a7b [PATCH] zoned vm counters: basic ZVC (zoned vm counter) implementation
Per zone counter infrastructure

The counters that we currently have for the VM are split per processor.  The
processor however has not much to do with the zone these pages belong to.  We
cannot tell f.e.  how many ZONE_DMA pages are dirty.

So we are blind to potentially inbalances in the usage of memory in various
zones.  F.e.  in a NUMA system we cannot tell how many pages are dirty on a
particular node.  If we knew then we could put measures into the VM to balance
the use of memory between different zones and different nodes in a NUMA
system.  For example it would be possible to limit the dirty pages per node so
that fast local memory is kept available even if a process is dirtying huge
amounts of pages.

Another example is zone reclaim.  We do not know how many unmapped pages exist
per zone.  So we just have to try to reclaim.  If it is not working then we
pause and try again later.  It would be better if we knew when it makes sense
to reclaim unmapped pages from a zone.  This patchset allows the determination
of the number of unmapped pages per zone.  We can remove the zone reclaim
interval with the counters introduced here.

Futhermore the ability to have various usage statistics available will allow
the development of new NUMA balancing algorithms that may be able to improve
the decision making in the scheduler of when to move a process to another node
and hopefully will also enable automatic page migration through a user space
program that can analyse the memory load distribution and then rebalance
memory use in order to increase performance.

The counter framework here implements differential counters for each processor
in struct zone.  The differential counters are consolidated when a threshold
is exceeded (like done in the current implementation for nr_pageache), when
slab reaping occurs or when a consolidation function is called.

Consolidation uses atomic operations and accumulates counters per zone in the
zone structure and also globally in the vm_stat array.  VM functions can
access the counts by simply indexing a global or zone specific array.

The arrangement of counters in an array also simplifies processing when output
has to be generated for /proc/*.

Counters can be updated by calling inc/dec_zone_page_state or
_inc/dec_zone_page_state analogous to *_page_state.  The second group of
functions can be called if it is known that interrupts are disabled.

Special optimized increment and decrement functions are provided.  These can
avoid certain checks and use increment or decrement instructions that an
architecture may provide.

We also add a new CONFIG_DMA_IS_NORMAL that signifies that an architecture can
do DMA to all memory and therefore ZONE_NORMAL will not be populated.  This is
only currently set for IA64 SGI SN2 and currently only affects
node_page_state().  In the best case node_page_state can be reduced to
retrieving a single counter for the one zone on the node.

f6ac2354d7 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: create vmstat.c/.h from page_alloc.c/.h
NOTE: ZVC are *not* the lightweight event counters.  ZVCs are reliable whereas
event counters do not need to be.

Zone based VM statistics are necessary to be able to determine what the state
of memory in one zone is.  In a NUMA system this can be helpful for local
reclaim and other memory optimizations that may be able to shift VM load in
order to get more balanced memory use.

It is also useful to know how the computing load affects the memory
allocations on various zones.  This patchset allows the retrieval of that data
from userspace.

The patchset introduces a framework for counters that is a cross between the
existing page_stats --which are simply global counters split per cpu-- and the
approach of deferred incremental updates implemented for nr_pagecache.

Small per cpu 8 bit counters are added to struct zone.  If the counter exceeds
certain thresholds then the counters are accumulated in an array of
atomic_long in the zone and in a global array that sums up all zone values.
The small 8 bit counters are next to the per cpu page pointers and so they
will be in high in the cpu cache when pages are allocated and freed.

Access to VM counter information for a zone and for the whole machine is then
possible by simply indexing an array (Thanks to Nick Piggin for pointing out
that approach).  The access to the total number of pages of various types does
no longer require the summing up of all per cpu counters.

Benefits of this patchset right now:

- Ability for UP and SMP configuration to determine how memory
  is balanced between the DMA, NORMAL and HIGHMEM zones.

- loops over all processors are avoided in writeback and
  reclaim paths. We can avoid caching the writeback information
  because the needed information is directly accessible.

- Special handling for nr_pagecache removed.

- zone_reclaim_interval vanishes since VM stats can now determine
  when it is worth to do local reclaim.

- Fast inline per node page state determination.

- Accurate counters in /sys/devices/system/node/node*/meminfo. Current
  counters are counting simply which processor allocated a page somewhere
  and guestimate based on that. So the counters were not useful to show
  the actual distribution of page use on a specific zone.

- The swap_prefetch patch requires per node statistics in order to
  figure out when processors of a node can prefetch. This patch provides
  some of the needed numbers.

- Detailed VM counters available in more /proc and /sys status files.

b0da853703 [NET]: Add ECN support for TSO
In the current TSO implementation, NETIF_F_TSO and ECN cannot be
turned on together in a TCP connection.  The problem is that most
hardware that supports TSO does not handle CWR correctly if it is set
in the TSO packet.  Correct handling requires CWR to be set in the
first packet only if it is set in the TSO header.

This patch adds the ability to turn on NETIF_F_TSO and ECN using
GSO if necessary to handle TSO packets with CWR set.  Hardware
that handles CWR correctly can turn on NETIF_F_TSO_ECN in the dev->
features flag.

All TSO packets with CWR set will have the SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN set.  If
the output device does not have the NETIF_F_TSO_ECN feature set, GSO
will split the packet up correctly with CWR only set in the first
segment.

With help from Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>.

Since ECN can always be enabled with TSO, the SOCK_NO_LARGESEND sock
flag is completely removed.

877ce7c1b3 [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec
This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.

Patch purpose:

This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.

Patch design and implementation:

The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.

An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:

toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
    cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
    if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
        cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
        memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
    }
}

sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.

Testing:

We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

c7bdb545d2 [NETLINK]: Encapsulate eff_cap usage within security framework.
This patch encapsulates the usage of eff_cap (in netlink_skb_params) within
the security framework by extending security_netlink_recv to include a required
capability parameter and converting all direct usage of eff_caps outside
of the lsm modules to use the interface.  It also updates the SELinux
implementation of the security_netlink_send and security_netlink_recv
hooks to take advantage of the sid in the netlink_skb_params struct.
This also enables SELinux to perform auditing of netlink capability checks.
Please apply, for 2.6.18 if possible.

576a30eb64 [NET]: Added GSO header verification
When GSO packets come from an untrusted source (e.g., a Xen guest domain),
we need to verify the header integrity before passing it to the hardware.

Since the first step in GSO is to verify the header, we can reuse that
code by adding a new bit to gso_type: SKB_GSO_DODGY.  Packets with this
bit set can only be fed directly to devices with the corresponding bit
NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST.  If the device doesn't have that bit, then the skb
is fed to the GSO engine which will allow the packet to be sent to the
hardware if it passes the header check.

This patch changes the sg flag to a full features flag.  The same method
can be used to implement TSO ECN support.  We simply have to mark packets
with CWR set with SKB_GSO_ECN so that only hardware with a corresponding
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN can accept them.  The GSO engine can either fully segment
the packet, or segment the first MTU and pass the rest to the hardware for
further segmentation.

8f96cd1a69 [SPARC]: sparc32 side of of_device layer IRQ resolution.
Happily, life is much simpler on 32-bit sparc systems.
The "intr" property, preferred over the "interrupts"
property is used-as.  Some minor translations of this
value happen on sun4d systems.

The stage is now set to rewrite the sparc serial driver
probing to use the of_driver framework, and then to convert
all SBUS, EBUS, and ISA drivers in-kind so that we can nuke
all those special bus frameworks.

2b1e597871 [SPARC64]: of_device layer IRQ resolution
Do IRQ determination generically by parsing the PROM properties,
and using IRQ controller drivers for final resolution.

One immediate positive effect is that all of the IRQ frobbing
in the EBUS, ISA, and PCI controller layers has been eliminated.
We just look up the of_device and use the properly computed
value.

The PCI controller irq_build() routines are gone and no longer
used.  Unfortunately sbus_build_irq() has to remain as there is
a direct reference to this in the sunzilog driver.  That can be
killed off once the sparc32 side of this is written and the
sunzilog driver is transformed into an "of" bus driver.

This is a fixed up and cleaned up replacement for genirq-msi-fixes.patch,
which should solve the i386 4KSTACKS problem.  I also added Ben's idea of

I booted this with MSI enabled, but i only have MSI devices, not MSI-X
devices.  I'd still expect MSI-X to work now.

irqchip migration helper: call __do_IRQ() if a descriptor is attached to an
irqtype-style controller.  This also fixes MSI-X IRQ handling on i386 and
x86_64.
