Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number. Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g. when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following ... early_memtest: pattern num 10 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9 ... But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default case in memtest() is to leave the function. I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

While the introduction of __copy_from_user_nocache (see commit: 0812a579) may have been an improvement for sufficiently large writes, there is evidence to show that it is deterimental for small writes. Unixbench's fstime test gives the following results for 256 byte writes with MAX_BLOCK of 2000: 2.6.29-rc6 ( 5 samples, each in KB/sec ): 283750, 295200, 294500, 293000, 293300 2.6.29-rc6 + this patch (5 samples, each in KB/sec): 313050, 3106750, 293350, 306300, 307900 2.6.18 395700, 342000, 399100, 366050, 359850 See w_test() in src/fstime.c in unixbench version 4.1.0. Basically, the above test consists of counting how much we can write in this manner: alarm(10); while (!sigalarm) { for (f_blocks = 0; f_blocks < 2000; ++f_blocks) { write(f, buf, 256); } lseek(f, 0L, 0); } Note, there are other components to the write syscall regression that are not addressed here.

Impact: Cleanup Checkin be44d2aa eliminates the use of a 16-bit stack for espfix. However, at least one instruction remained that only operated on the low 16 bits of %esp. This is not a bug per se because the kernel stack is always an aligned 4K or 8K block. Therefore it cannot cross 64K boundaries; this code, in fact, relies strictly on that fact. However, it's a lot cleaner (and, for that matter, smaller) to operate on the entire 32-bit register.

Impact: fix early crash on LinuxBIOS systems Kevin O'Connor reported that Coreboot aka LinuxBIOS tries to put mptable somewhere very high, well above max_low_pfn (below which BIOSes generally put the mptable), causing a panic. The BIOS will probably be changed to be compatible with older Linus versions, but nevertheless the MP-spec does not forbid an MP-table in arbitrary system RAM, so make sure it all works even if the table is in an unexpected place. Check physptr with max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE.

The problem was that object_set_to_gpu_domain would set the new write_domains that are getting set by this batchbuffer, then the accumulated flushes required for all the objects in preparation for this batchbuffer were posted, and the brand new write domain would get cleared by the flush being posted. Instead, hang on to the new (or old if we're not changing it) value and set it after the flush is queued. Results from this noticably included conformance test failures from reads shortly after writes (where the new write domain had been lost and thus not flushed and waited on), but is a suspected cause of hangs in some apps when a write domain is lost on a buffer that gets reused for instruction or commmand state.

Impact: cleanup Make x86_quirks support more transparent.

Impact: remove unused/broken code The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27, v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels. No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage. Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken. In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the build problems already known, needs serious and significant changes and probably a rewrite to support it. CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it. While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme, voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable fashion. So remove this inactive code for now. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

At some point we (okay, I) managed to break the ability for users to use the setsockopt() syscall to set IPv4 options when NetLabel was not active on the socket in question. The problem was noticed by someone trying to use the "-R" (record route) option of ping: # ping -R 10.0.0.1 ping: record route: No message of desired type The solution is relatively simple, we catch the unlabeled socket case and clear the error code, allowing the operation to succeed. Please note that we still deny users the ability to override IPv4 options on socket's which have NetLabel labeling active; this is done to ensure the labeling remains intact.

The CIPSO protocol engine incorrectly stated that the FIPS-188 specification could be found in the kernel's Documentation directory. This patch corrects that by removing the comment and directing users to the FIPS-188 documented hosted online.

The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.)

Right now nobody cares, but the suspend/resume code will eventually want to suspend device interrupts without suspending the timer, and will depend on this flag to know. The modern x86 timer infrastructure uses the local APIC timers and never shows up as a device interrupt at all, so it isn't affected and doesn't need any of this. Cc: Rafael J.
