Chen noticed that cache_reap uses REAPTIMEOUT_CPUC+smp_processor_id() as the timeout for rescheduling. The "+smp_processor_id()" part is wrong, the timeout should be identical for all cpus: start_cpu_timer already adds a cpu dependant offset to avoid any clustering. The attached patch removes smp_processor_id(). Signed-Off-By: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered cache. But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already statically linked into the kernel. Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh reaction. Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt. If the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well. Notes: - Swaps the ranking of cache_chain_sem and lock_cpu_hotplug(). Doesn't seem important.

The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF header and the kernel itself. This results on some machines, like G5s, into a kernel that crashes at boot when clearing the BSS.

The current ia64 implementation of dma_get_cache_alignment does not work for modules because it relies on a symbol which is not exported. Direct access to a global is a little ugly anyway, so this patch re-implements dma_get_cache_alignment in a manner similar to what is currently used for x86_64. Signed-off-by: John W.

This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by this patch). The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64 introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad) due to a misunderstanding of the srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual). In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for hugepages. In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB granularity). To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of 1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable them some other day). Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5 LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.

Patch from Richard Purdie Update the PXA pm.c file to allow machines (such as the Sharp Zaurus) to override the standard pm functions but reuse/wrap them where needed.

Patch from Alessandro Zummo This patch fixes AHB/PCI endianness problems when the processor is in little-endian mode. The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19. According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian. The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus. A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX can be found in [1], page 18. The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in both LE and BE modes. The author is Peter Korsgaard. [1] Intel

Include autoconf.h into every kernel compilation via the gcc command line using -imacros. This ensures that we have the kernel configuration included from the start, rather than relying on each file having #include <linux/config.h> as appropriate. History has shown that this is something which is difficult to get right. Since we now include the kernel configuration automatically, make configcheck becomes meaningless, so remove it.

my patch "x86: initialise tss->io_bitmap_owner to something" (commit ID d5cd4aad) introduced a problem with a program (DOSEMU) that called ioperm after already doing some port i/o. The problem is that a process switch return causes tss->io_bitmap_base to be set to IO_BITMAP_OFFSET so that the fault (that *really* sets the io bitmap) never triggers. This fixes that regression.

Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen, so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This is a great loss for such people. Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the cursor while still moving it. Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too. Signed-off-by: samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Statically allocated devices in module data is a potential cause of oopsen. The device may be in use by a userspace process, which will keep a reference to the device. If the module is unloaded, the module data will be freed. Subsequent use of the platform device will cause a kernel oops. Use generic platform device allocation/release code in modules.
