Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
xsc3.  The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits.  In addition,
we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.

Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
function as that still requires a special PTE setting.  We also don't
touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
definition only used on non-coherent system.

[CIFS] Incorrect signature sent on SMB Read

Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147

For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request.  The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled  cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.

This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.

Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not
required at the moment but after more testing we will enable
that as well).

[PATCH] Document Linux's memory barriers [try #7]

The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers.

I've updated it from the comments I've been given.

The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many
exceptions, that it's not worth having them.

I've added a list of references to other documents.

I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus;
what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the
system.

Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be
there, but you may not rely on them.

I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to
specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify
what this document refers to by the term "memory".

I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb().

I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun
that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data
dependency not being necessarily implicit.

I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends().

I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are
discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities
available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples.

I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic
ops and bitops.

I've added information about control dependencies.

I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs.

[PATCH] backlight: Backlight Class Improvements

Backlight class attributes are currently easy to implement incorrectly.
Moving certain handling into the backlight core prevents this whilst at the
same time makes the drivers simpler and consistent.  The following changes are
included:

The brightness attribute only sets and reads the brightness variable in the
backlight_properties structure.

The power attribute only sets and reads the power variable in the
backlight_properties structure.

Any framebuffer blanking events change a variable fb_blank in the
backlight_properties structure.

The backlight driver has only two functions to implement.  One function is
called when any of the above properties change (to update the backlight
brightness), the second is called to return the current backlight brightness
value.  A new attribute "actual_brightness" is added to return this brightness
as determined by the driver having combined all the above factors (and any
driver/device specific factors).

Additionally, the backlight core takes care of checking the maximum brightness
is not exceeded and of turning off the backlight before device removal.

The corgi backlight driver is updated to reflect these changes.

[PATCH] pidhash: Refactor the pid hash table

Simplifies the code, reduces the need for 4 pid hash tables, and makes the
code more capable.

In the discussions I had with Oleg it was felt that to a large extent the
cleanup itself justified the work.  With struct pid being dynamically
allocated meant we could create the hash table entry when the pid was
allocated and free the hash table entry when the pid was freed.  Instead of
playing with the hash lists when ever a process would attach or detach to a
process.

For myself the fact that it gave what my previous task_ref patch gave for free
with simpler code was a big win.  The problem is that if you hold a reference
to struct task_struct you lock in 10K of low memory.  If you do that in a user
controllable way like /proc does, with an unprivileged but hostile user space
application with typical resource limits of 1000 fds and 100 processes I can
trigger the OOM killer by consuming all of low memory with task structs, on a
machine wight 1GB of low memory.

If I instead hold a reference to struct pid which holds a pointer to my
task_struct, I don't suffer from that problem because struct pid is 2 orders
of magnitude smaller.  In fact struct pid is small enough that most other
kernel data structures dwarf it, so simply limiting the number of referring
data structures is enough to prevent exhaustion of low memory.

This splits the current struct pid into two structures, struct pid and struct
pid_link, and reduces our number of hash tables from PIDTYPE_MAX to just one.
struct pid_link is the per process linkage into the hash tables and lives in

pointers to each of the pid types.

The independent life of struct pid simplifies attach_pid, and detach_pid,
because we are always manipulating the list of pids and not the hash table.
In addition in giving struct pid an indpendent life it makes the concept much
more powerful.

Kernel data structures can now embed a struct pid * instead of a pid_t and

large amounts of memory allocated.

18 years ago[PATCH] task: RCU protect task->usage
Eric W. Biederman [Fri, 31 Mar 2006 10:31:37 +0000 (02:31 -0800)]
[PATCH] task: RCU protect task->usage

A big problem with rcu protected data structures that are also reference
counted is that you must jump through several hoops to increase the reference
count.  I think someone finally implemented atomic_inc_not_zero(&count) to
automate the common case.  Unfortunately this means you must special case the
rcu access case.

When data structures are only visible via rcu in a manner that is not
determined by the reference count on the object (i.e.  tasks are visible until
their zombies are reaped) there is a much simpler technique we can employ.
Simply delaying the decrement of the reference count until the rcu interval is
over.

What that means is that the proc code that looks up a task and later
wants to sleep can now do:

rcu_read_lock();
task = find_task_by_pid(some_pid);
if (task) {
get_task_struct(task);
}
rcu_read_unlock();

The effect on the rest of the kernel is that put_task_struct becomes cheaper
and immediate, and in the case where the task has been reaped it frees the
task immediate instead of unnecessarily waiting an until the rcu interval is
over.

Cleanup of task_struct does not happen when its reference count drops to
zero, instead cleanup happens when release_task is called.  Tasks can only
be looked up via rcu before release_task is called.  All rcu protected
members of task_struct are freed by release_task.

Therefore we can move call_rcu from put_task_struct into release_task.  And
we can modify release_task to not immediately release the reference count
but instead have it call put_task_struct from the function it gives to
call_rcu.

The end result:

- get_task_struct is safe in an rcu context where we have just looked
  up the task.

- put_task_struct() simplifies into its old pre rcu self.

This reorganization also makes put_task_struct uncallable from modules as
it is not exported but it does not appear to be called from any modules so
this should not be an issue, and is trivially fixed.

Eric W. Biederman [Fri, 31 Mar 2006 10:31:33 +0000 (02:31 -0800)]
[PATCH] Make setsid() more robust

The core problem: setsid fails if it is called by init.  The effect in 2.6.16
and the earlier kernels that have this problem is that if you do a "ps -j 1 or
ps -ej 1" you will see that init and several of it's children have process
group and session == 0.  Instead of process group == session == 1.  Despite
init calling setsid.

The reason it fails is that daemonize calls set_special_pids(1,1) on kernel
threads that are launched before /sbin/init is called.

The only remaining effect in that current->signal->leader == 0 for init
instead of 1.  And the setsid call fails.  No one has noticed because
/sbin/init does not check the return value of setsid.

In 2.4 where we don't have the pidhash table, and daemonize doesn't exist
setsid actually works for init.

I care a lot about pid == 1 not being a special case that we leave broken,
because of the container/jail work that I am doing.

- Carefully allow init (pid == 1) to call setsid despite the kernel using
  its session.

- Use find_task_by_pid instead of find_pid because find_pid taking a
  pidtype is going away.

[PATCH] sched: reduce overhead of calc_load

Currently, count_active_tasks() calls both nr_running() &
nr_interruptible().  Each of these functions does a "for_each_cpu" & reads
values from the runqueue of each cpu.  Although this is not a lot of
instructions, each runqueue may be located on different node.  Depending on
the architecture, a unique TLB entry may be required to access each
runqueue.

Since there may be more runqueues than cpu TLB entries, a scan of all
runqueues can trash the TLB.  Each memory reference incurs a TLB miss &
refill.

In addition, the runqueue cacheline that contains nr_running &
nr_uninterruptible may be evicted from the cache between the two passes.
This causes unnecessary cache misses.

Combining nr_running() & nr_interruptible() into a single function
substantially reduces the TLB & cache misses on large systems.  This should
have no measureable effect on smaller systems.

On a 128p IA64 system running a memory stress workload, the new function
reduced the overhead of calc_load() from 605 usec/call to 324 usec/call.

Why?
====

LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned
on and off so why do we need all this code?  On handheld or embedded devices
they're an important part of an often limited user interface.  Both users and
developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the
number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large.

A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in
an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner.

The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away
in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent
interface to userspace.

Other Implementations
=====================

I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation.  Currently the new subsystem
and the arm code can coexist quite happily.  Its up to the arm community to
decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them.  As far as I can see,
the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with
the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more
generic, configurable and scalable.

I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it)
if appropriate.

Implementation Details
======================

I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class.  Colours were
removed as LED colour is now part of the device name.  Multiple colours are to
be handled as multiple led devices.  This means you get full control over each
colour.  I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't
going to add much overhead and is just as useful.  I also decided to have the
LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling)
removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers.

An underlying design philosophy is simplicity.  The aim is to keep a small
amount of code giving as much functionality as possible.

The major new idea is the led "trigger".  A trigger is a source of led events.
 Triggers can either be simple or complex.  A simple trigger isn't
configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal
additional code.  Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging
triggers.  With leds disabled, the code optimises away.  Examples are
nand-disk and ide-disk.

Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and
work on a per LED basis.  The timer trigger is an example.

You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is
chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger).

So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further
LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems.

Known Issues
============

The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would
cause nightmare dependency issues.  I see this as a minor issue compared to
the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings.  The rest of the LED
subsystem can be modular.

Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware.  As this isn't a generic LED
device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs
attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg.
 to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended).

Future Development
==================

At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
particular LED.  The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should
cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current
interface.

A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation
should be trivial to add.

Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and
how it appears to users.

[PATCH] cpuset: memory migration interaction fix

Fix memory migration so that it works regardless of what cpuset the invoking
task is in.

If a task invoked a memory migration, by doing one of:

       1) writing a different nodemask to a cpuset 'mems' file, or

       2) writing a tasks pid to a different cpuset's 'tasks' file,

          allocation of the new pages for the migrated task(s) was constrained
          by the invoking tasks cpuset.

If this task wasn't in a cpuset that allowed the requested memory nodes, the
memory migration would happen to some other nodes that were in that invoking
tasks cpuset.  This was usually surprising and puzzling behaviour: Why didn't
the pages move?  Why did the pages move -there-?

field to the nodes the migrating tasks is moving to, so that new pages can be

[PATCH] Fix pacct bug in multithreading case.

I noticed a bug on the process accounting facility.  In multi-threading
process, some data would be recorded incorrectly when the group_leader dies
earlier than one or more threads.  The attached patch fixes this problem.

See below.  'bugacct' is a test program that create a worker thread after 4
seconds sleeping, then the group_leader dies soon.  The worker thread
consume CPU/Memory for 6 seconds, then exit.  We can estimate 10 seconds as
etime and 6 seconds as stime + utime.  This is a sample program which the
group_leader dies earlier than other threads.

The results of same binary execution on different kernel are below.
-- accounted records --------------------

In the original 2.6.16 kernel, pacct records btime, utime, stime, etime and
minflt incorrectly.  In my opinion, this problem is caused by an assumption
that group_leader dies last.

The following section calculates process running time for etime and btime.
But it means running time of the thread that dies last, not process.  The
start_time of the first thread in the process (group_leader) should be
reduced from uptime to calculate etime and btime correctly.

   ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c:
   /* calculate run_time in nsec*/
   do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime);
   run_time = (u64)uptime.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + uptime.tv_nsec;
   run_time -= (u64)current->start_time.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC
                                   + current->start_time.tv_nsec;
   ----

The following section calculates stime and utime of the process.
But it might count the utime and stime of the group_leader duplicatly
and ignore the utime and stime of the thread dies last, when one or
more threads remain after group_leader dead.
The ac_utime should be calculated as the sum of the signal->utime
and utime of the thread dies last. The ac_stime should be done also.

   ---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c:
   jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->utime,
                                            current->signal->utime));
   ac.ac_utime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies));
   jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->stime,
                                            current->signal->stime));
   ac.ac_stime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies));
   ----

The part of the minflt/majflt calculation has same problem.
This patch solves those problems, I think.

Andrew Morton [Fri, 31 Mar 2006 10:30:42 +0000 (02:30 -0800)]
[PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()

Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:

- It's more flexible.  Things which would require two or three syscalls with
  fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.

- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.

The patch wires up the syscall for x86.

The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c.  The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.

Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.

A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.

The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC.  I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."

Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested.  This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking.  But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.

Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).

Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines.  It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.  Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

[PATCH] IPMI: convert from semaphores to mutexes

Convert the remaining semaphores to mutexes in the IPMI driver.  The
watchdog was using a semaphore as a real semaphore (for IPC), so the
conversion there required adding a completion.
