Chunks are 256KB, so use constants for the size/shift/mask, rather than getting them from the msChunks struct. The iSeries debugger (??) might still need access to the values in the msChunks struct, so we keep them around for now, but set them from the constant values. Replace msChunks_entry typedef with regular u32. Simplify msChunks_alloc() to manipulate klimit directly, rather than via a parameter. Move msChunks_alloc() and msChunks into iSeries_setup.c, as that's where they're used. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The msChunks code was written to work on pSeries, but now it's only used on iSeries. This means there's no need to do PTRRELOC anymore, so remove it all. A few places were getting "extern reloc_offset()" from abs_addr.h, move it into system.h instead.

The firmware_features field of struct cpu_spec should really be a separate variable as the firmware features do not depend on the chip and the bitmask is constructed independently. By removing it, we save 112 bytes from the cpu_specs array and we access the bitmask directly instead of via the cur_cpu_spec pointer.

The ppc64 head.S defines several zero-initialized structures, such as the empty_zero_page and the kernel top-level pagetable. Currently they are defined to be in the data section. However, they're not used until after the bss is cleared, so this patch moves them to the bss, saving two and a half pages from the vmlinux.

arch/ppc64/kernel/head.S #defines SECONDARY_PROCESSORS then has some #ifdefs based on it. Whatever purpose this had is long lost, this patch removes it. Likewise, head.S defines H_SET_ASR, which is now defined, along with other hypervisor call numbers in hvcall.h. This patch deletes it, as well, from head.S.

An #if/#else construct near the top of ppc64's head.S appears to create overlapping sections of code for iSeries and pSeries (i.e. one thing on iSeries and something different in the same place on pSeries). In fact, checking the various absolute offsets, it doesn't. This patch unravels the #ifdefs to make it more obvious what's going on. This accomplishes another microstep towards a single kernel image which can boot both iSeries and pSeries.

As well as the interrupt vectors and initialization code, head.S contains several asm functions which are used during runtime.

On ppc64 machines with segment tables, CPU0's segment table is at a fixed address, currently 0x9000. This patch moves it to the free space at 0x6000, just below the fwnmi data area.

In the ppc64 kernel head.S there is currently quite a lot of unused space between the naca (at fixed address 0x4000) and the fwnmi data area (at fixed address 0x7000). This patch moves various exception vectors and support code into this region to use the wasted space. The functions load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are moved down as well, since they are essentially continuations of the fp_unavailable_common and altivec_unavailable_common vectors, respectively. Likewise, the fwnmi vectors themselves are moved down into this area, because while the location of the fwnmi data area is fixed by the RPA, the vectors themselves can be anywhere sufficiently low.

Comments in head.S suggest that the iSeries naca has a fixed address, because tools expect to find it there. The only tool which appears to access the naca is addRamDisk, but both the in-kernel version and the version used in RHEL and SuSE in fact locate the NACA the same way as the hypervisor does, by following the pointer in the hvReleaseData structure. Since the requirement for a fixed address seems to be obsolete, this patch removes the naca from head.S and replaces it with a normal C initializer. For good measure, it removes an old version of addRamDisk.c which was sitting, unused, in the ppc32 tree.

arch/ppc64/Kconfig defines a "General setup" menu, but also sources init/Kconfig which also defines a "General setup" menu. Both of these menus appear at the top level of make menuconfig. Having two menus with the same name is confusing. This patch renames the ppc64/Kconfig menu to be "Bus Options" and moves options in this menu which are not bus related to the end of the "Platform support" menu. There are many variations among architectures on the exact naming of the "Bus Options" menu. I chose to use the simplest one, which is also used in arch/ppc/Kconfig.

OpenFirmware marks devices as failed in the device-tree when a hardware problem is detected. The kernel needs to fail config reads/writes to prevent a kernel crash when incorrect data is read.

Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64 This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T). The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level, and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ] I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL. What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626). So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2, as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called. Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses. The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't oops.

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak. While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of /proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object. Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch the size-32 usage grow and grow. #!/bin/sh while true; do cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null done Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck <j.blunck@tu-harburg.de> Acked-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

- copy_from_user() can fail; ->write() must check its return value. - severe buffer overruns both in ->read() and ->write() - lseek to the end (i.e. to mmapper_size) and if (count + *ppos > mmapper_size) count = count + *ppos - mmapper_size; will do absolutely nothing. Then it will call copy_to_user(buf,&v_buf[*ppos],count); with obvious results (similar for ->write()). Fixed by turning read to simple_read_from_buffer() and by doing normal limiting of count in ->write(). - gratitious lock_kernel() in ->mmap() - it's useless there. - lots of gratuitous includes.

Don't check type of sax25_family; dev_set_mac_address has already done that before and anyway, the type to check against would have been ARPHRD_AX25. We only got away because AF_AX25 and ARPHRD_AX25 both happen to be defined to the same value. Don't check sax25_ndigis either; it's value is insignificant for the purpose of setting the MAC address and the check has shown to break some application software for no good reason.

The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by removing a device while it's initialising. The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs, the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL. (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.
