      The PR_GET_ENDIAN and PR_SET_ENDIAN prctl() calls have been implemented to · 5f8787b8
      Helge Deller authored 
      allow to switch processes at runtime from big-endian to little-endian mode
(and vice versa) on PowerPC processors.  Since the other architectures
don't support this feature, they currently will just fail and return
-EINVAL.

This patch adds just minimal overhead and implements the PR_GET_ENDIAN
call for all other architectures by returning the native endianess of the
architecture.  Furthermore, calling prctl(PR_SET_ENDIAN) with the native
endianess of the architecture will succeed, while trying to set another
(not-supported) endianess, will fail.

The patch can be tested with the following program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <linux/prctl.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int endian, ret;

	ret = prctl(PR_GET_ENDIAN, &endian);
	if (ret)
		perror("prctl(PR_GET_ENDIAN) not implemented");
	printf("current process/machine is running in %s endian mode (%d)\n",
		endian == PR_ENDIAN_LITTLE ? "little":"big", endian);

	/* setting native endianess should succeed */
	ret = prctl(PR_SET_ENDIAN, endian);
	printf("prctl(PR_SET_ENDIAN,%d) should succeed: %s\n",
		endian, ret == 0 ? "OK":"FAIL");

	/* setting foreign endianess should fail */
	endian = (endian == PR_ENDIAN_LITTLE) ?
		PR_ENDIAN_BIG : PR_ENDIAN_LITTLE;
	ret = prctl(PR_SET_ENDIAN, endian);
	printf("prctl(PR_SET_ENDIAN,%d) should fail: %s\n",
		endian, ret == 0 ? "OK":"FAIL");
}

      rwsem_is_locked() tests ->activity without locks, so we should always keep · 2580e032
      Amerigo Wang authored 
      ->activity consistent.  However, the code in __rwsem_do_wake() breaks this
rule, it updates ->activity after _all_ readers waken up, this may give
some reader a wrong ->activity value, thus cause rwsem_is_locked() behaves
wrong.

Quote from Andrew:

"
- we have one or more processes sleeping in down_read(), waiting for access.

- we wake one or more processes up without altering ->activity

- they start to run and they do rwsem_is_locked().  This incorrectly
  returns "false", because the waker process is still crunching away in
  __rwsem_do_wake().

- the waker now alters ->activity, but it was too late.
"

So we need get a spinlock to protect this.  And rwsem_is_locked() should
not block, thus we use spin_trylock_irqsave().

Sorry, forget my last mail, I got you wrong. You're of course right,
S_IRUGO shouldn't be set for write-only attributes. Updates patch below.

This is actually too trivial to publish, but to export the function of
that chip to the userspace, a module like this is needed.

      There is a race condition in um_request_irq(). The SIGIO handling is · 356968d7
      Andrew Lunn authored 
      first enabled with the call to activate_fd().  The irq handler is then
registered with request_irq().  What can happen is that directly after
activate_fd() the SIGIO goes off and the IRQ source is disabled at the low
level, the pollfd is set to -1.  Since no irq handler has yet been
registered, the interrupt it left disabled at the low level.  The
interrupt handler is then registered, but its too late, the interrupt
source has been disabled at the lower level and is never re-enabled.  To
fix this race condition i swapped the order.  First request_irq() then
activate_fd() the interrupt sources.

There is a second bug.  In 2.6.31 there was a change to the way __do_IRQ()
and friends work for chained interrupt sources.  The old way was that all
chained interrupt handlers were called.  The new way is that the chain is
walked only until a handler returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. 
uml_net_interrupt() would always return IRQ_HANDLED, irrespective of if
the device really did receive an interrupt or not.  This mean with the new
code only the first device on a chained interrupt ever got its interrupts
handled.  The second/third/...  device never got any interrupts processed.
 I changed uml_net_interrupt() to always return IRQ_NONE so that all
handlers get called on a chained interrupt.

And frankly, as a human I have a hard time proving the same more or less
(the size comes from the ioctl argument.  humpf.  maybe.  the code isn't

This patch adds an explicit check to make 100% sure it's safe, better than
finding out later that there indeed was a gap.

insufficient huge page pool it calls unmap_ref_private() with the
mm->page_table_lock held.  unmap_ref_private() then calls
unmap_hugepage_range() which tries to acquire the mm->page_table_lock.

Then we don't need get_ksm_page() while traversing the stable tree: the
page to compare against is sure to be present and correct, even if it's no
longer visible through any of its existing rmap_items.

And we can handle the forked ksm page case more efficiently: no need to
memcmp our way through the tree to find its match.

      Though we still do well to keep rmap_items in the unstable tree without a · 38e81a30
      Hugh Dickins authored 
      separate tree_item at the node, for several reasons it becomes awkward to
keep rmap_items in the stable tree without a separate stable_node: lack of
space in the nicely-sized rmap_item, the need for an anchor as rmap_items
are removed, the need for a node even when temporarily no rmap_items are
attached to it.

So declare struct stable_node (rb_node to place it in the tree and
hlist_head for the rmap_items hanging off it), and convert stable tree
handling to use it: without yet taking advantage of it.  Note how one
stable_tree_insert() of a node now has _two_ stable_tree_append()s of the
two rmap_items being merged.
