Mike Frysinger suggested that do_csum should be optional so that an architecture can use the generic checksum code but still provide an optimized fast-path for the most critical function. This can mean an implementation using inline assembly, or in case of Alpha one using 64-bit arithmetic in C. Cc: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The use of 'unsigned long' variables in the 32-bit part of do_csum() is confusing at best, and potentially broken for long input on 64-bit machines. This changes the code to use 'unsigned int' instead, which makes the code behave in the same (correct) way on both 32 and 64 bit machines.

Most architectures now provide a pgprot_noncached(), the remaining ones can simply use an dummy default implementation, except for cris and xtensa, which should override the default appropriately.

The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using 'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO would not be clearer. Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines. If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but at least the code should not break.

sys_rt_tgsigqueueinfo and sys_perf_counter_open have been added in 2.6.31, so hook them up in the generic unistd.h file. Since the file is now in the mainline kernel, we are no longer reordering the numbers but just add system calls at the end. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Architechtures normally don't need to set a HARDIRQ_BITS unless they have hardcoded a specific value in assembly. This drops the definition from asm-generic/hardirq.h, which results in linux/hardirq.h setting its default of 10. Both the old default of 8 and the linux/hardirq.h default of 10 are sufficient because they only limit the number of nested hardirqs, and we normally run out of stack space much earlier than exceeding 256 or even 1024 nested interrupts.

There's no reason that I can see to use the short __access_ok() form directly when the access_ok() is clearer in intent and for most people, expands to the same C code (i.e. always specify the first field -- access type). Not all no-mmu systems lack memory protection, so the read/write could feasibly be checked. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The strnlen_user() function was missing a access_ok() check on the pointer given. We've had cases on Blackfin systems where test programs caused kernel crashes here because userspace passed up a NULL/-1 pointer and the kernel gladly attempted to run strlen() on it.

Rodolfo Giometti authored
This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

Fix potential SGI GRU bug that could cause a use-after-free. If one thread in a task is flushing the GRU and another thread destroys the GRU context, there is the potential to access a table after it has been freed. Copy the gms pointer to a local variable before unlocking the gts table. Note that no refcnt is needed for the gms - the reference is held indirectly by the task's mm_struct.
