Base addess register for SMC 1 and 2 are never initialized. This means that they will not work unless a bootloader already configured them. The DPRAM already have space reserved, this patch just makes sure the base addess register is updated correctly on initialization. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a field to struct ocp_func_emac_data that allows platform-specific unsupported PHY features to be passed in to the ibm_emac ethernet driver. This patch also adds some logic for the Bamboo eval board to populate this field based on the dip switches on the board. This is a workaround for the improperly biased RJ-45 sockets on the Rev. 0 Bamboo. Signed-off-by:

PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies that can be configured by software. One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may attempt to reset the machine. Command line parameters: wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default) wdt=1 : enable watchdog wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period. The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check User Manual for the processor for more details. This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato. Signed-off-by:

This patch modifies the VFS setxattr, getxattr, and listxattr code to fall back to the security module for security xattrs if the filesystem does not support xattrs natively. This allows security modules to export the incore inode security label information to userspace even if the filesystem does not provide xattr storage, and eliminates the need to individually patch various pseudo filesystem types to provide such access. The patch removes the existing xattr code from devpts and tmpfs as it is then no longer needed. The patch restructures the code flow slightly to reduce duplication between the normal path and the fallback path, but this should only have one user-visible side effect - a program may get -EACCES rather than -EOPNOTSUPP if policy denied access but the filesystem didn't support the operation anyway. Note that the post_setxattr hook call is not needed in the fallback case, as the inode_setsecurity hook call handles the incore inode security state update directly. In contrast, we do call fsnotify in both cases. Signed-off-by:

Stephen Smalley authored
This patch improves memory use by SELinux by both reducing the avtab node size and reducing the number of avtab nodes. The memory savings are substantial, e.g. on a 64-bit system after boot, James Morris reported the following data for the targeted and strict policies: #objs objsize kernmem Targeted: Before: 237888 40 9.1MB After: 19968 24 468KB Strict: Before: 571680 40 21.81MB After: 221052 24 5.06MB The improvement in memory use comes at a cost in the speed of security server computations of access vectors, but these computations are only required on AVC cache misses, and performance measurements by James Morris using a number of benchmarks have shown that the change does not cause any significant degradation. Note that a rebuilt policy via an updated policy toolchain (libsepol/checkpolicy) is required in order to gain the full benefits of this patch, although some memory savings benefits are immediately applied even to older policies (in particular, the reduction in avtab node size). Sources for the updated toolchain are presently available from the sourceforge CVS tree (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=21266), and tarballs are available from http://www.flux.utah.edu/~sds.

Add page_state info to the per-node meminfo file in sysfs. This is mostly just for informational purposes. The lack of this information was brought up recently during a discussion regarding pagecache clearing, and I put this patch together to test out one of the suggestions. It seems like interesting info to have, so I'm submitting the patch. Signed-off-by:

Add a "smaps" entry to /proc/pid: show howmuch memory is resident in each mapping. People that want to perform a memory consumption analysing can use it mainly if someone needs to figure out which libraries can be reduced for embedded systems. So the new features are the physical size of shared and clean [or dirty]; private and clean [or dirty]. Take a look the example below: # cat /proc/4576/smaps 08048000-080dc000 r-xp /bin/bash Size: 592 KB Rss: 500 KB Shared_Clean: 500 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 0 KB 080dc000-080e2000 rw-p /bin/bash Size: 24 KB Rss: 24 KB Shared_Clean: 0 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 24 KB 080e2000-08116000 rw-p Size: 208 KB Rss: 208 KB Shared_Clean: 0 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 208 KB b7e2b000-b7e34000 r-xp /lib/tls/libnss_files-2.3.2.so Size: 36 KB Rss: 12 KB Shared_Clean: 12 KB Shared_Dirty: 0 KB Private_Clean: 0 KB Private_Dirty: 0 KB ... (Includes a cleanup from "Richard Purdie" <rpurdie@rpsys.net>) From: Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch@gmx.net> show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after the additional information is also written. The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls it with a real pointer. Now the final if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */ m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0; is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer. Signed-off-by:

Any architecture that has hardware updated A/D bits that require synchronization against other processors during PTE operations can benefit from doing non-atomic PTE updates during address space destruction. Originally done on i386, now ported to x86_64. Doing a read/write pair instead of an xchg() operation saves the implicit lock, which turns out to be a big win on 32-bit (esp w PAE). Signed-off-by:

Add a new accessor for PTEs, which passes the full hint from the mmu_gather struct; this allows architectures with hardware pagetables to optimize away atomic PTE operations when destroying an address space. Removing the locked operation should allow better pipelining of memory access in this loop. I measured an average savings of 30-35 cycles per zap_pte_range on the first 500 destructions on Pentium-M, but I believe the optimization would win more on older processors which still assert the bus lock on xchg for an exclusive cacheline. Update: I made some new measurements, and this saves exactly 26 cycles over ptep_get_and_clear on Pentium M. On P4, with a PAE kernel, this saves 180 cycles per ptep_get_and_clear, for a whopping 92160 cycles savings for a full address space destruction. pte_clear_full is not yet used, but is provided for future optimizations (in particular, when running inside of a hypervisor that queues page table updates, the full hint allows us to avoid queueing unnecessary page table update for an address space in the process of being destroyed. This is not a huge win, but it does help a bit, and sets the stage for further hypervisor optimization of the mm layer on all architectures. Signed-off-by:

I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables(). It now collect all the pte page at the time of munmap. It used to only collect page table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte pages. Not anymore with 2.6.13. This function will never be called and We should turn it into a BUG_ON. I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-) (1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not checked before calling pmd_alloc() (2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to pmd_free_tlb. I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a pte page. However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never called, so it won't trigger the bug. Signed-off-by:Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Cc: Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Initial Post (Wed, 17 Aug 2005) This patch moves the if (! pte_none(*pte)) hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(pte); logic into huge_pte_alloc() so all of its callers can be immune to the bug described by Kenneth Chen at http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/16/246 > It turns out there is a bug in hugetlb_prefault(): with 3 level page table, > huge_pte_alloc() might return a pmd that points to a PTE page. It happens > if the virtual address for hugetlb mmap is recycled from previously used > normal page mmap. free_pgtables() might not scrub the pmd entry on > munmap and hugetlb_prefault skips on any pmd presence regardless what type > it is. Unless I am missing something, it seems more correct to place the check inside huge_pte_alloc() to prevent a the same bug wherever a huge pte is allocated. It also allows checking for this condition when lazily faulting huge pages later in the series. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a macro pte_huge(pte) for i386/x86_64 which is needed by a patch later in the series. Instead of repeating (_PAGE_PRESENT | _PAGE_PSE), I've added __LARGE_PTE to i386 to match x86_64. Signed-off-by:

Version 6 of the ARM architecture introduces the concept of 16MB pages (supersections) and 36-bit (40-bit actually, but nobody uses this) physical addresses. 36-bit addressed memory and I/O and ARMv6 can only be mapped using supersections and the requirement on these is that both virtual and physical addresses be 16MB aligned. In trying to add support for ioremap() of 36-bit I/O, we run into the issue that get_vm_area() allows for a maximum of 512K alignment via the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant. To work around this, we can: - Allocate a larger VM area than needed (size + (1ul << IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER)) and then align the pointer ourselves, but this ends up with 512K of wasted VM per ioremap(). - Provide a new __get_vm_area_aligned() API and make __get_vm_area() sit on top of this. I did this and it works but I don't like the idea adding another VM API just for this one case. - My preferred solution which is to allow the architecture to override the IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER constant with it's own version.
