ftdi_sio: Avoid losing bytes at tty-ldisc. This patch was originally developed by Daniel Smertnig. I (Ian Abbott) made a few changes. It has been tested by both Daniel and I, at least for raw, non-canonical receive data processing. Here is Daniel's original description of the patch: === During a project in which I was using a FTDI 232BM to transmit data at relative high speeds (625kBit/s), I noticed a problem where data was lost even if flow control was enabled: The FTDI-Driver receives 512 Bytes of data over USB at a time, which consists of 8 64-Byte packets. Subtracting the 2 bytes of status information included in each packet this gives 496 "real" data bytes per read. This data is passed (indirectly, via the flip buffers) to the tty line discipline which takes care of throttling when there the free buffer space reaches TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE (128). Because the FTDI driver processes up to 496 bytes at a time, throttling won't happen in time and the line discipline will discard the remaining bytes. To avoid this the patch passes data in 62-byte blocks to the tty layer and checks the available space in the ldisc-buffers. If there isn't enough free space, processing the rest of the data is delayed using a workqueue. Note: The original problem should be easily reproducible with a userspace program which does slow & small reads. === Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Daniel Smertnig <daniel.smertnig@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This smoothes two imperfections: - Increase number of LUNs per device from 4 to 9. The best solution would be to remove this limit altogether, but that has to wait until the time when more than 26 hosts are allowed. - Replace mdelay with msleep in a probing routine.

This patch fixes some bugs in the ppc64 PER_LINUX32 implementation, noted by Juergen Kreileder: * uname(2) doesn't respect PER_LINUX32, it returns 'ppc64' instead of 'ppc' * Child processes of a PER_LINUX32 process don't inherit PER_LINUX32 Along the way I took the opportunity to move things around so that sys_ppc32.c only has 32-bit syscall emulation functions and to remove the obsolete "fakeppc" command line option.

READA errors failing with EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN do not constitute a valid reason for failing the path; this lead to erratic errors on DM multipath devices. This error can be safely propagated upwards without failing the path.

There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the high partition. The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to() preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to prevent preemption. Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall-note.o is not listed as a target so its .cmd file is neither considered as a target nor is it read on the next build. This causes vsyscall-note.o to be rebuilt every time that you run make, which causes vmlinux to be rebuilt every time.

It turns out that we need to check for pending signals when a newly forked process is run for the first time. With strace -f, strace needs to know about the forked process before it gets going. If it doesn't, then it ptraces some bogus values into its registers, and the process segfaults. So, I added calls to interrupt_end, which does that, plus checks for reschedules. There shouldn't be any of those, but x86 does the same thing, so I'm copying that behavior to be safe.

Some bits of the kernel assume that gp always points to valid memory, in particular PHYSICAL_MODE_ENTER() assumes that both gp and sp are valid virtual addresses with associated physical pages. The IA64 module loader puts gp well past the end of the module, with no physical backing. Offsets on gp are still valid, but physical mode addressing breaks for modules. Ensure that gp always falls within the module body. Also ensure that gp is 8 byte aligned. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
