By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts. This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled 8259. For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same as i386. Command line options can change all this of course. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

o A recent change to vmlinux.ld.S file broke kexec as now resulting vmlinux program headers are overlapping in physical address space. o Now all the vsyscall related sections are placed after data and after that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap among phdrs, there are three possible solutions. - Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user - move vsyscal sections after init data in bss. - create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections after vsyscall into this new phdr. o This patch implements the third solution.

TARGET_CPUS is the default irq routing poicy. It specifies which cpus the kernel should aim an irq at. In physflat delivery mode we can route an irq to a single cpu. But that doesn't mean our default policy should only be a single cpu is allowed. By allowing the irq routing code to select from multiple cpus this enables systems with more irqs then we can service on a single processor to actually work. I just audited and tested the code and irqbalance doesn't care, and the io_apic.c doesn't care if we have extra cpus in the mask. Everything will use or assume we are using the lowest numbered cpu in the mask if we can't use them all. So this should result in no behavior changes except on systems that need it.

Thanks to YH Lu for spotting this. It appears I missed this function when I refactored allocate_irq_vector and introduced irq_domain, with the result that all retriggered irqs would go to cpu 0 even if we were not prepared to receive them there. While reviewing YH's patch I also noticed that this function was missing locking, and since I am now reading two values from two diffrent arrays that looks like a race we might be able to hit in the real world.

If function change_page_attr_addr calls revert_page to revert to original pte value, mk_pte_phys does not mask NX bit. If NX bit is set on no NX hardware supported x86_64 machine, there is will be RSVD type page fault and system will crash. This patch adds NX mask bit for PTE entry.

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls). The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once a fixed linker becomes available. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This avoids some problems with gcc 4.x and earlier generating invalid unwind information. In 4.1 the option is default when unwind information is enabled. And it seems to generate smaller code too, so it's probably a good thing on its own. With gcc 4.0: i386: 4683198 902112 480868 6066178 5c9002 vmlinux (before) 4449895 902112 480868 5832875 5900ab vmlinux (after) x86-64: 4939761 1449584 648216 7037561 6b6279 vmlinux (before) 4854193 1449584 648216 6951993 6a1439 vmlinux (after) On 4.1 it shouldn't make much difference because it is default when unwind is enabled anyways.

Currently some code pieces assume that address returned by find_e820_area() are page aligned. But looks like find_e820_area() had no such intention and hence one might end up stomping over some of the data. One such case is bootmem allocator initialization code stomped over bss. This patch modified find_e820_area() to return page aligned address. This might be little wasteful of memory but at the same time probably it is easier to handle page aligned memory.

The arch/x86_64/pci directory was giving problems in a wierd cross-compile environment. The exact cause is unknown, but the Makefile used CFLAGS instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS. From what I can tell from Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, CFLAGS should not be used for this, it should be EXTRA_CFLAGS. And it solves the cross-compile problem.

This patch corrects the logic used in srat.c to figure out what parsing what action to take when registering hot-add areas. Hot-add areas should only be added to the node information for the MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE case. When booting MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE hot-add areas on everything but the last node are getting include in the node data and during kernel boot the pages are setup then the kernel dies when the pages are used. This patch fixes this issue. Signed-off-by: Keith Mannthey <kmannth@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This reverts commit 4596c75c as requested by Olaf Hering. It causes compile errors, and says Olaf: "This change is also wrong, the autoloading works perfect with 2.6.18, no need to add random PCI ids. See commit a0245f7a, platform devices have now a modalias entry in sysfs. The network card is not a PCI device." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch is suitable for just about any 2.6 kernel. It should go in 2.6.19 and 2.6.18.2 and possible even the .17 and .16 stable series. This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many distros seem to be making it the default. The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available. It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and before the lock is gained. This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem. However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket.

A disk generated some I/O error, after it, I hitted J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) in journal_stop(). It seems to happened on ext3_truncate() path from stack trace. Then, maybe the following case may trigger J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0). ext3_truncate() -> ext3_free_branches() -> ext3_journal_test_restart() -> ext3_journal_restart() -> journal_restart() transaction->t_updates--; /* another process aborted journal */ -> start_this_handle() returns -EROFS without transaction->t_updates++; -> ext3_journal_stop() -> journal_stop() J_ASSERT(transaction->t_updates > 0) If journal was aborted in middle of journal_restart(), ext3_truncate() may trigger J_ASSERT().
