[PATCH] kbuild: add deb-pkg target
To prepare kbuild for more kernel packaging formats move all packaging support
to scripts/package.
In top-level Makefile introduce generic support for all package formats using
target names *-pkg. Included the old rpm target for backward compatibility.
A new variable KBUILD_IMAGE is used to specify what kernel image will be part
of the final package, and is to be set by the arch specific makefile.
KBUILD_IMAGE may be overridden from command line or environment. KBUILD_IMAGE
will see wider usage later, mainly when installing kernel images.
Introducing KBUILD_IMAGE allowed arch specific details to be deleted from the
mkspec and builddeb scripts.
While in the process added the deb packet format. Script is From: Wichert
Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net>
To create a RPM packet use 'make rpm-pkg'.
To create a deb packet use 'make deb-pkg'.
Both targets are included in 'make help'

[PATCH] wanxl firware build fix
allmodconfig and allyesconfig are currently failing because they select
wanxl firmware rebuild, and that requires an m68k assembler toolchain.
Add a new generic option to the "Generic Driver Options" menu. The option
is defaul equals y and prevents us from building firmware unless really
needed.
Firmware is usually provided in separate filer '_shipped', and there is no
need to rebuild them unless strictly required. First user is WanXL - which

[PATCH] fix possible stack corruption during reiserfs_file_write
With preallocation turned on, reiserfs_allocate_blocks_for_region wasn't
sending a large enough array to hold all the blocks it was asking the block
allocator to find. This can result in stack corruption.
The fix is to kmalloc an array to hold the blocks, making sure to allocate
something large enough.
There was also a recent optimization to force the allocator to find a free
region large enough to hold the entire preallocation size. This was
sometimes causing more blocks to be allocated then had been requested,
which would also overflow the array. Something more elegant is required
here, until then just disable the optimization.

[PATCH] v4l: tuner + tda9887 updates
This is a big update for the tuner and tda9887 modules which are used for TV
card tuning.
The tda9887 module is basically completely rewritten and understands all the
config bits now instead of having just some fixed config presets. Some of
these config bits can be changed by insmod options now.
The other big change is that both modules allow to use the V4L2 API for
inter-module communication (i.e. when bttv/saa7134/... pass through the
tuning ioctls to the modules). That allows to specify the TV norm more
precisely (not just PAL but PAL-I, PAL-BG, ...), which is needed in some cases
to make TV audio work correctly. Using the old v4l1 API is still possible so
this shouldn't break any users of these two modules.

[PATCH] iommu max segment size
This patch is from James, I've changed it slightly only.
The problem is that some IOMMU implementations have a maximum limit to the
size of the number of contiguously mappable pages (admittedly, this limit
is mostly in the resource management algorithms rather than the IOMMUs
themselves).
This patch adds this concept to the bio layer via the parameter
BIO_VMERGE_MAX_SIZE
which architectures can define in asm/io.h (if undefined, we assume it to
be infinite, which is current behaviour).
While adding this, I noticed several places where bio was making incorrect
assumptions about virtual mergeability (none of which was a bug: bio was
overestimating rather than underestimating).
- The worst offender was bio_add_page(), which seemed never to check for
virtual mergeability
- I also fixed blk_hw_contig_segments() not to check the QUEUE_CLUSTER
flag, and not to check the phys segment boundary.
In order to track the hw segment size across bios, I had to introduce two
extra bio parameters: bi_hw_front_size and bi_hw_back_size which store the
sizes of the front and back hw contiguous segments (and which will be equal
if there's only one hw segment). When the bio is merged into a request,
these fields are updated with the total hw contig size so they can always
be used to assess if the merger would violate the BIO_VMERGE_MAX_SIZE
parameter.

[PATCH] Add ovcamchip driver
This patch adds a new driver for the OmniVision OV6xx0 and OV7xx0 series of
CMOS image sensors. It is currently used by the w9968cf USB webcam driver,
which is already in mainline 2.6. Up until now it had to be compiled

It is also used by version 2 of the ov511 USB webcam driver, which will be
merged in the near future. That will reduce some code duplication, since
the existing ov511 has much of this code built-in.
This was previously submitted to Linux-USB-Devel, and I have fixed the
concerns that came up at that time.

int O_NOATIME Macro
If this bit is set, read will not update the access time of the file.
See File Times. This is used by programs that do backups, so that
backing a file up does not count as reading it. Only the owner of the
file or the superuser may use this bit.
It is useful if you want to do something with the file atime (for instance,
moving files that have not been accessed in a while to somewhere else, or
something like Debian's popularity-contest) but you also want to read all
files periodically (for instance, tripwire or debsums).
Currently, the program that reads all files periodically has to use utimes,
which can race with the atime update:

And the file still has the old atime, instead of the new one from when B
did the read from it. This problem does not happen if A uses O_NOATIME
instead of utimes to preserve the atime.
This patch adds the O_NOATIME constant for all architectures, but it would
also be possible to add it one architecture at a time by defining it to 0
when not defined in asm-*.

[PATCH] Permit inode & dentry hash tables to be allocated > MAX_ORDER size
Here's a patch to allocate memory for big system hash tables with the
bootmem allocator rather than with main page allocator.
It is needed for three reasons:
(1) So that the size can be bigger than MAX_ORDER. IBM have done some
testing on their big PPC64 systems (64GB of RAM) with linux-2.4 and found
that they get better performance if the sizes of the inode cache hash,
dentry cache hash, buffer head hash and page cache hash are increased
beyond MAX_ORDER (order 11).
Now the main allocator can't allocate anything larger than MAX_ORDER, but
the bootmem allocator can.
In 2.6 it appears that only the inode and dentry hashes remain of those
four, but there are other hash tables that could use this service.
(2) Changing MAX_ORDER appears to have a number of effects beyond just
limiting the maximum size that can be allocated in one go.
(3) Should someone want a hash table in which each bucket isn't a power of
two in size, memory will be wasted as the chunk of memory allocated will
be a power of two in size (to hold a power of two number of buckets).
On the other hand, using the bootmem allocator means the allocation
will only take up sufficient pages to hold it, rather than the next power
of two up.
Admittedly, this point doesn't apply to the dentry and inode hashes,
but it might to another hash table that might want to use this service.
I've coelesced the meat of the inode and dentry allocation routines into
one such routine in mm/page_alloc.c that the the respective initialisation
functions now call before mem_init() is called.
This routine gets it's approximation of memory size by counting up the
ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_DMA pages (and ZONE_HIGHMEM if requested) in all the
nodes passed to the main allocator by paging_init() (or wherever the arch
does it). It does not use max_low_pfn as that doesn't seem to be available
on all archs, and it doesn't use num_physpages since that includes highmem
pages not available to the kernel for allocating data structures upon -
which may not be appropriate when calculating hash table size.
On the off chance that the size of each hash bucket may not be exactly a
power of two, the routine will only allocate as many pages as is necessary
to ensure that the number of buckets is exactly a power of two, rather than
allocating the smallest power-of-two sized chunk of memory that will hold
the same array of buckets.
The maximum size of any single hash table is given by
MAX_SYS_HASH_TABLE_ORDER, as is now defined in linux/mmzone.h.

[PATCH] export DMI check functions
This patch creates and exports 2 functions which can be used by the rest of
kernel code to perform DMI data checks:
- dmi_check_system() function checks system DMI data against given blacklist
table and on each match runs corresponding callback function;
- dmi_get_system_info() function returns DMI data value. Useful for people
wanting more complex DMI data check than simple string match.
Also filling unused match entries with NO_MATCH made optional, but existing
NO_MATCH occurences are left intact, so people are free to continue dmi_scan.c
patching without massive reject problems.

[PATCH] FAT: don't use "utf8" charset and NLS_DEFAULT
Recently, some distributors have set "utf8" to NLS_DEFAULT, therefore,
FAT uses the "iocharset=utf8" as default. But, since "iocharset=utf8"
doesn't provide the function (lower <-> upper conversion) which FAT
needs, so FAT can't provide suitable behavior.
This patch does:
- doesn't recognize "utf8" as "iocharset"
- doesn't use NLS_DEFAULT as default "iocharset"
- instead of NLS_DEFAULT, adds FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE and
FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
NOTE: the following looks like buggy, so it's not recommended
"codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8"
however, some utf8 file name can handle. (in this case, it uses the
table of iso8859-1 for lower <-> upper conversion)

[PATCH] pcnet32: recover after rx hang.
This patch fixes a receive hang that occasionally occurs after a Tx
FIFO underrun. The receive dma remains in a hung state sometimes. The
transmit operations continue to occur, but no receive activity.
This was reproduced on several ppc64 systems and the fix has been verified
there. The patch has been tested as well on an ia32 system, which did
not experience the hang because it did not have fifo underruns, which is
a preqrequisite for the hang. The memory barriers decreased the frequency
of occurrence. The final change to reset the chip instead of just stopping
it eliminated the last hangs.
Please also apply against 2.4.7 (with offset of -1), tested ia32.

In base kernel 2.6.7, there is bug in function hugetlb_prefault(). The
call to free_huge_page() is incorrect and should be replaced with a call
to page_cache_release().

[PATCH] sparse: drivers/message/fusion annotations and fixes
Sigh... First of all, LSI folks have very quaint idea of existing
platforms and word sizes on those. Their definitions of U32 and S32
should really be reserved for posterity (preferably chiseled into the
rock they have between the ears), but kernel is the wrong place for
that. Fixed.
mptctl_do_mpt_command() was always called on userland pointers;
kernel/userland argument removed along with dead code, function
annotated, callers updated.
The rest is trivial annotations in mptctl.c and in its ioctl structures
- nothing fancy there.

[PATCH] USB: dummy_hcd shouldn't reject SET-ADDRESS requests
This patch for the dummy_hcd driver prevents it from rejecting SET-ADDRESS
requests when the address is already set. The USB 2.0 spec states that if
a device is in the ADDRESS state, it should accept and start using the new
address. Behavior in the CONFIGURED state is undefined, but since
dummy_hcd doesn't keep track of the difference between the two states we
might as well accept the new address in any case.

This is a fix for when we encounter an alias during insert. When that
happens we move the request to dispatch, but it may happen that this

logic a bit so we clear the merge hint there as well. It looks more

[PATCH] RLIM: enforce rlimits on queued signals
Add a user_struct pointer to the sigqueue structure. Charge sigqueue
allocation and destruction to the user_struct rather than a global pool. This
per user rlimit accounting obsoletes the global queued_signals accouting.
The patch as charges the sigqueue struct allocation to the queue that it's
pending on (the receiver of the signal). So the owner of the queue is charged
for whoever writes to it (much like quota for a 777 file).
The patch started out charging the task which allocated the sigqueue struct.
In most cases, these are always the same user (permission for sending a
signal), so those cases are moot. In the cases where it isn't the same user,
it's a privileged user sending a signal to another user.
It seems wrong to charge the allocation to the privleged user, when the other
user could block receipt as long as it feels. The flipside is, someone else
can fill your queue (expectation is that someone else is privileged). I think
it's right the way it is. The change to revert is very small.

[PATCH] remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kallsyms_lookup)
Distros have started to ship kernels with this patch, as it seems that some
unnamed binary module authors are already abusing this function (as well as
some open source modules, like the openib code.) I could not find any valid
reason why this symbol should be exported, so here's a patch against 2.6.7
that removes it.

[PATCH] Hugetlb page bug fix for i386 in PAE mode
Hit a bug check when unmap a hugetlb vma in PAE mode on i386 (and x86-64).

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.
Patch to fix the bug.

[PATCH] IPMI base patch to fix channel handling and add polling
This patch fixes some problems with handling of channel detection in the
driver. Some systems that are IPMI 1.5 do not implement the channel query
command. Also, the interface has to be fully up before the command is
ready.
This patch also adds a polling interface; this is required for situations
where interrupts are not running, but the system must still issue IPMI
commands, like when taking a crash dump.
It also updates the driver version to v32.

2. Maximized var->yres_virtual on initial mode setting. Scrolling,
therefore, defaults to y-panning which is significantly faster.
3. Restricted var->xres_virtual and var->yres_virtual to 0x7fff
(hardware limitation?). Otherwise, var->yres_virtual > 0x7fff + panning
will hang the GPU.
4. Added I2C/DDC support. This feature enables independent mode setup
to rivafb. 'stty rows n cols n' should now work correctly. This is a
configurable option.

[PATCH] add 1 in __const_udelay()
The "mull" instruction in __const_udelay() cuts off the lower 32 bits --
so, it is "rounding down". This is both an issue for small ndelay()s for
_all_ values for loops_per_jiffy and for certain {n,u}delay()s for many
loops_per_jiffy values.
Assuming
LPJ = 1501115
udelay(87)
results in
130597 loops to be spent.
However, 1000 * 130597 / 1501115 is 86.999997 us, so we're actually
_rounding down_. 1000 * 130598 / 1501115 is 87.000662841, which would be
the technically correct thing to do. Of course, for the TSC case this
won't matter as the maths take some time, so the actual delay is
1000 * __udelay(x) / lpj + __OVERHEAD(x)
Anybody worried about both the additional overhead and the fact that the
overhead takes some time to run should add a check
if (unlikely(xloops < OVERHEAD))
return;
xloops -= OVERHEAD;
to the delay() routines in arch/i386/kernel/timers/*.c and determine
what the OVERHEAD is.

[PATCH] round up in __udelay()
Round up in __udelay(): 2**32 / 100000 is 4294.97, so it's more intuitive
to round up, and it causes more predictable results:
n usec delay on a 1500000 BogoMIPS system:
n before -mull after
1 1000 ticks 1499 ticks 1500 ticks
10 14000 ticks 14999 ticks 15000 ticks
n usec delay on a 100000 BogoMIPS system:
n before -mull after
1 0 ticks 99 ticks 100 ticks
10 0 ticks 999 ticks 1000 ticks
100 9000 ticks 9999 ticks 10000 ticks
While it can be argued that some time is also spent in the delay functions,
it's better to spend _at least_ the specified time sleeping, in my humble
opinion. And the overhead of a specific ->delay() implementation should be
substracted in the specific ->delay() implementation.

[PATCH] mull'ify multiplication with HZ in __const_udelay()
John Stultz mentioned on lkml ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/5/15 ) that
calls to udelay() don't delay long enough, causing trouble e.g. in the USB
subsystem. The following patches address this issue.
Move the multiplication of (loops_per_jiffy * xloops) with HZ into the
"mull" asm operation. This increases the accuracy of the delay functions
largely:
n usec delay on a system with loops_per_jiffy = 1500000 :
n before after
1 1000 ticks 1499 ticks
10 14000 ticks 14999 ticks
n usec delay on a system with loops_per_jiffy = 100000 :
n before after
1 0 ticks 99 ticks
10 0 ticks 999 ticks
100 9000 ticks 9999 ticks
As noted by Kurt Garloff, it's necessary to adjust for large
loops_per_jiffies, as the multiplication of it with HZ fails for 4GHz or
larger. So, John Stultz suggested multiplying xloops with 4 first, and
multiplying with (HZ/4).

that in certain catalogue entries, the extension separator character '/'

To: submit@bugs.debian.org (debian bug tracking system)
Hello, I found some bugs in kernel command line parser. AFAIK, they are not
Debian nor sparc specific but I'm not subscribed to linux-kernel mailing list
and since I'm involved with boot-floppies (mainly for sparc), I think I'm right
to report it here. Feel free to forward it upstream (I checked the latest
2.3.46 sources and it seems these bugs are still there).
These bugs are not release critical. The latter just not gives the user a
chance to overwrite TERM env var at boot time. It could be just
inconvenient for serial console boot, and in this case, our busybox' init is
already enforcing TERM=vt102.
Nevertheless if it could not be fixed before the release, I could even write a
workaround in busybox' init (it's just a matter of rewriting getenv()).
At last, it does not affect sysvinit package because serial console tty is
controlled by a getty process which is reading terminal settings on its command
line (take a look in inittab for T0 entries, if any).
Ok, here is my modest contribution to kernel hacking. I don't know much about
kernel internals but it seems that argument parsing is a bit broken.
One trivial patch for command line like "init=/bin/sh console=prom" where
console=prom is replaced by lot of spaces in previous call to setup_arch() on
sparc, therefore the line parsed by parse_options() is really
"init=/bin/sh " and a lot of null args are pushed into argv_init.
The other patch is for command line like "TERM=vt100" where both default & user
TERM entries are pushed into the env array.
Taking a look into /proc/1/environ, it shows up:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
TERM=vt100
It appears that ash (maybe other shells too) is giving the latter entry but
glibc getenv() is giving the former. It is therefore impossible to get entry
from the user in a C program like busybox' init (used in Debian boot-floppies).
I guess getenv() is not written to support duplicate entries, therefore the
kernel should avoid such construct.

[PATCH] lower priority of "too many keys" msg in atkbd.c
From: "Jon Thackray" <jgt@pobox.com>
* Lowered priority of "too many keys" message in drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.c
This fixes Debian BTS #239036.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=239036
The keyboard under 2.6.4 seems to be behaving strangely, reporting unknown
key codes and too many keys pressed, even when no keys have been pressed.
The keyboard is connected via an 8 way KVM switch, but was working quite
acceptably under 2.4.25 with no such messages. Trying 2.6.3 is not an
option as it doesn't support the hardware properly, as previously reported.

[PATCH] Shift+PgUp if nr of scrolled lines is < 4
Using the vga console driver, if the number of the lines scrolled out is
less than four, then Shift+PageUp doesn't work.
The bug is closely related to the 'margin' feature of scrolling, which
means that if less than four lines should remain unvisible in the direction
we are scrolling to, then we scroll a little bit more just to see those few
lines. Kind of two small magnets at the borders of the buffer.
This bug was also reported with maybe a less clear description by Stepan
Koltsov (cc'ed just for fun) back in 2001 and he got no answer. I found it
at http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2001/Nov/0080.html
His patch simply disables margin support and hence everythings becomes
okay, but you lose a nice feature.
Here's a patch that retains margin support and fixes the bug. Works for
me, tested for a week. No guarantee. As I don't fully understand the code
(see also my previous mail) I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing the right
thing, so I'd prefer if someone would take a closer look at it.
At least 2.4 and 2.6 are affected, maybe older ones too.

[PATCH] epoll: replace the file lookup hash with rbtrees
The epoll allocation for the fd lookup hash used to allocate up to 1MB
(depending on the "hint" size passed to epoll_create()) with
__get_free_pages(0), and this might lead to a "malicious" user to do
something like:
for (i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
epoll_create(BIG-NUM);
You can replace "malicious user" with IBM-ltp test suite, and the meaning
does not change. The above code might exhaust memory badly, even before
the file creation limit is topped. Also, the allocation was independent
from the number of fds pushed into the epoll fd hash. Using an rb-tree
ther will be not pre-allocation of the hash, and the size of the memory
used will be proportional to the number of fds pushed into the epoll fd.
The patch also removes 100 lines of code, that is never a bad thing ;)

[PATCH] sys_getdents64 needs compat wrapper
Due to different structure alignment rules in the ABI between ia32 and
ia64, certain members of the dirent structure are not guaranteed to be 8
byte aligned on ia64. This requires a compat wrapper around these 32 bit
system calls. Other architectures may or may not have the problem,
depending on the alignment rules.
This was observed by running /emul/ia32-linux/bin/ls on 2.6.6 which produces
kernel mode unaligned faults.

__get_free_pages had a hack to do node interleaving allocation at boot
time. This patch sets an interleave process policy using the NUMA API for
init and the idle threads instead. Before entering the user space init the
policy is reset to default again. Result is the same.
Advantage is less code and removing of a check from a fast path.

[PATCH] APIC enumeration fixes
The following patch appears sound according to an audit to ensure that all
of the codepaths where it was introduced were called after the APIC
fixmappings were set up.
This patch introduces get_physical_broadcast(), which checks the version ID
of the local APIC to determine whether it's a serial APIC or xAPIC, and
returns the correct physical broadcast ID. It replaces all uses of
APIC_BROADCAST_ID and IO_APIC_MAX_ID with this in order to ensure. It also
changes the checks during MP table parsing so the APIC ID is checked in
tandem with the version number.
I'm holding out for some kind of testing to get an idea of whether this
covers the cases or introduces regressions, or whatever.

[PATCH] 3c59x: support for ATI Radeon 9100 IGP
The following patch adds support for the 3Com networking core found in the
ATI Radeon 9100 IGP southbridge used on boards like Asus P4R800-VM.
The main point of this patch is using HAS_MII instead of HAS_NWAY for the
definition of the board. All the previous trials since the end of last
year used HAS_NWAY which disables the Tx part of the transceiver; using
HAS_NWAY was the way all 3Com Cyclone and Tornado chips worked, as they had
the transceiver integrated. The ATI solution has an external transceiver
and I had to physically see the different chip on the board (the board was
provided by ATI) to finally understand that it needs the HAS_MII
definition... I'm still waiting for some docs from ATI to clarify if this
is the correct way of handling this chip and if there are any differences
w.r.t EEPROM handling, but as it appears to work and was also confirmed by
other testers, I don't want to keep owners of such boards away from their
networks :-)
The textual identification was a bit hard to decide; it's called
"3c920B-EMB-WNM" in the Windows .INF file that Asus provides for their
boards. As this name was already used for PCI ID 9210, I added the
paranthesis which specifies where this chip is found.
The Scyld driver defines FEATURE_TORNADO to include HAS_NWAY. This board
would then probably need to not be defined with FEATURE_TORNADO, but the
same as in this patch.
I would like to publicly thank Tyson Vickers for both ideas and patience
during the last few weeks. He managed to get the driver working by
randomly setting driver parameters :-) But then he contacted me and worked
with me towards the solution.

[PATCH] sisfb update 1.7.10
attached is an update for the sisfb driver to version 1.7.10.
This update includes
- fixes for pure 64bit and 32/64bit mixed systems (add ioctl conversion;
fix variable sizes, etc; REQUIRED for current X.org/XFree86 on 64bit
systems, even if pure 64bit),
- fixes for 301C video bridge, (scales TV output correctly now)
- fixes for 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 LCD panels,
- many fixes for 661/741/760 (amongst others, proper LFB support for the
760 and corrections for SiS' new BIOS data layout; would lead to display
corruption with old driver)
- add support for many modes for LCD which were unsupported previously,
- add support for HiVision and YPbPr HDTV
- "vga=" statement now honoured properly (sisfb will set the same mode as
the kernel did by default)
- use LCD native resolution mode if no mode is given
- a major clean up of main driver code,
- radical removal of duplicate (or nearly duplicate) code,
- switched to 2.6 module_param macros,
- enhanced communication with the X driver,
- added eventual POSTing of SiS300/305 card for non-x86 archs,
- added ability to relocate the image on the TV screen using a userland
tool,
- added Documentation/fb/sisfb.txt (why the heck was this missing?!)
- small fix for SiS DRM driver (match 32/64bit fixes mentioned above)
(cast the data passed to sis_free as u32)
- make driver re-entrant by avoiding static structures and variables.
As usual, heavily tested. The mode switching code is even lab-tested by
SiS (although 100% written by me). Please apply asap (especially since
64bit systems were not properly supported previously; as mentioned, current
X.org/XFree86 needs this update for proper communication with the
framebuffer driver on 64bit systems. X crashes on such systems with the
old driver).

[PATCH] iso9660: fix handling of inodes beyond 4GB
This is my fourth attempt to patch the isofs code. It is similar to the last
posting except this one implements the NFS get_parent() method which has
always been missing.
The original problem I set out to addresses is that the current iso9660 file
system cannot reach inodes located beyond the 4GB barrier. This is caused by
using the inode number as the byte offset of the inode data. Being 32-bits
wide, the inode number is unable to reach inode data that does not reside on
the first 4GB of the file system.
This causes real problems with "growisofs"
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/#isofs4gb
and my pet project "shunt"
http://www.serice.net/shunt/
This patch switches the isofs code from iget() to iget5_locked() which allows
extra data to be passed into isofs_read_inode() so that inode data anywhere on
the disk can be reached.
The inode number scheme was also changed. Continuing to use the byte offset
would have resulted in non-unique inodes in many common situations, but
because the inode number no longer plays any role in reading the meta-data off
the disk, I was free to set the inode number to some unique characteristic of
the file. I have chosen to use the block offset which is also 32-bits wide.
Lastly, the pre-patch code uses the default export_operations to handle
accessing the file system through NFS. The problem with this is that the
default NFS operations assume that iget() works which is no longer the case
because of the necessity of switching to iget5_locked(). So, I had to
implement the NFS operations too. As a bonus, I went ahead and implemented
the NFS get_parent() method which has always been missing.

[PATCH] BSD accounting format rework
BSD accounting format rework:
Use all explicit and implicit padding in struct acct to
- correctly report 32 bit uid/gid,
- correctly report jobs (e.g., daemons) running longer than 497 days,
- increase the precision of ac_etime from 2^-13 to 2^-20
(i.e., from ~6 hours to ~1 min. after a year)
- store the current AHZ value.
- allow cross-platform processing of the accounting file
(limited for m68k which has a different size struct acct).
- introduce versioning for smooth transition to incompatible formats in
the future. Currently the following version numbers are defined:
0: old format (until 2.6.7) with 16 bit uid/gid
1: extended variant (binary compatible to v0 on M68K)
2: extended variant (binary compatible to v0 on everything except M68K)
3: a new binary incompatible format (64 bytes)
4: new binary incompatible format (128 bytes).
layout of its first 64 bytes is the same as for v3.
5: marks second half of new binary incompatible format (128 bytes)
(layout is not yet defined)
All this is accomplished without breaking binary compatibility. 32 bit
uid/gid support is compatible with the patch previously floating around and
used e.g. by Red Hat.
This patch also introduces a config option for a new, binary incompatible
"version 3" format that
- is uniform across and properly aligned on all platforms
- stores pid and ppid
- uses AHZ==100 on all platforms (allows to report longer times)
Much of the compatibility glue goes away when v1/v2 support is removed from
the kernel. Such a patch is at
http://www.physik3.uni-rostock.de/tim/kernel/2.7/acct-cleanup-04.patch
and might be applied in the 2.7 timeframe.
The new v3 format is source compatible with current GNU acct tools (6.3.5).
However, current GNU acct tools can be compiled for only one format. As there
is no way to pass the kernel configuration to userspace, with my patch it will
still only support the old v2 format. Only if v1/v2 support is removed from
the kernel, recompiling GNU acct tools will yield v3 support.
A preliminary take at the corresponding work on cross-platform userspace tools
(GNU acct package) is at
http://www.physik3.uni-rostock.de/tim/kernel/utils/acct/
This version of the package is able to read any of the v0/v2/v3 formats,
regardless of byte-order (untested), even within the same file.
Cross-platform compatibility with m68k (v1 format) is not yet implemented, but
native use on m68k should work (untested). pid and ppid are currently only
shown by the dump-acct utility.

[PATCH] Validate PM-Timer rate at boot time
Add a check to the PM-Timer initialization code. It validates the PM-Timer
rate against PIT channel 2 and rejects the PM-Timer if its rate is not
withing 5% of the expected number.
Rationale:
The PMTMR timers of certain (older) mainboards are running at invalid
rates, often much faster than the rate expected by the PM-Timer code. This
causes the system clock to run much too fast. See also
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2375
Possible workarounds are disabling the PM-Timer in the kernel config or
disabling the PM-Timer at boot time through the "clock=tsc" parameter.
However, we believe it is more user friendly to automatically validate the
PM-Timer rate at boot time before using it as the system time source.
Tested by me (with broken timer) and John Stultz (with good timer) and
believed to be ok.

io_apic_sync() was introduced in 2.1.104 and it was originally done for

writes we do to the IO-APIC registers, it must be unnecessary in the
masking case too.

[PATCH] Ext3: Retry allocation after transaction commit (v2)
Here is a reworked version of my patch to ext3 to retry certain filesystem
operations after an ENOSPC error. The ext3_should_retry_alloc() function will
not wait on the currently running transaction if there is a currently active
handle; hence this should avoid deadlocks in the Lustre use case. The patch
is versus BK-recent.
I've also included a simple, reliable test case which demonstrates the problem
this patch is intended to fix. (Note that BK-recent is not sufficient to
address this test case, and waiting on the commiting transaction in
ext3_new_block is also not sufficient. Been there, tried that, didn't work.
We need to do the full-bore retry from the top level. The
ext3_should_retry_alloc() will only wait on the committing transaction if
there is an active handle; hence Lustre will probably also need to use
ext3_should_retry_alloc() if it wants to reliably avoid this particular
problem.)

[PATCH] IDR fixups
There were definately some problems in there. I've made some changes and
tested with a lot of bounds. I don't have a machine with enough memory to
fill it up (it would take ~16GB on a 64-bit machine), but I use the "above"
code to simulate a lot of situations.
The problems were:
* IDR_FULL was not the right value
* idr_get_new_above() was not defined in the headers or documented.
* idr_alloc() bug-ed if there was a race and not enough memory was
allocated. It should have returned NULL.
* id will overflow when you go past the end.
* There was a "(id >= (1 << (layers*IDR_BITS)))" comparison, but at
the top layer it would overflow the id and be zero.
* The allocation should return ENOSPC for an "above" value with
nothing above it, but it returned EAGAIN.
I have not tested on 64-bits (as I don't have a 64-bit machine).
I've included the files, a diff from the previous version, and my test
programs.
For the test programs, idr_test <size> will just attempt to allocate
<size> elements, check them, free them, and check them again.
idr_test2 <size> <incr> will allocate <size> element with <incr> between
them.
idr_test3 just tests some bounds and tries all values with just a few in

[PATCH] idr: remove counter bits from id's
idr_get_new() currently returns an incrementing counter in the top 8 bits of
the counter. Which means that most users have to mask it off again, and we
only have a 24-bit range.
So remove that counter. Also:
- Remove the BITS_PER_INT define due to namespace collision risk.
- Make MAX_ID_SHIFT 31, so counters have a 0 to 2G-1 range.
- Why is MAX_ID_SHIFT using sizeof(int) and not sizeof(long)? If it's for
consistency across 32- and 64-bit machines, why not just make it "31"?
- Does this still hold true with the counter removed?
/* We can only use half the bits in the top level because there are
only four possible bits in the top level (5 bits * 4 levels = 25
bits, but you only use 24 bits in the id). */
If not, what needs to change?

[PATCH] Fixes for idr code
* On a 32-bit architecture, the idr code will cease to work if you add
more than 2^20 entries. You will not be able to find many of the
entries. The problem is that the IDR code uses 5-bit chunks of the
number and the lower portion used by IDR is 24 bits, so you have one bit
that leaks over into the comparisons that should not be there. The
solution is to mask off that bit before doing IDR processing. This
actually causes the POSIX timer code to crash if you create that many
timers. I have included an idr_test.tar.gz file that demonstrates this
with and without the fix, in case you need more evidence :).
* When the IDR fills up, it returns -1. However, there was no way to
check for this condition. This patch adds the ability to check for the
idr being full and fixes all the users. It also fixes a problem in
fs/super.c where the idr code wasn't checking for -1.
* There was a race condition creating POSIX timers. The timer was added
to a task struct for another process then the data for the timer was
filled out. The other task could use/destroy time timer as soon as it is
in the task's queue and the lock is released. This moves settup up the
timer data to before the timer is enqueued or (for some data) into the
lock.
* Change things so that the caller doesn't need to run idr_full() to find
out the reason for an idr_get_new() failure.
Just return -ENOSPC if the tree was full, or -EAGAIN if the caller needs
to re-run idr_pre_get() and try again.

[PATCH] reiserfs: block allocator optimizations
From: <mason@suse.com>
From: <jeffm@suse.com>
The current reiserfs allocator pretty much allocates things sequentially
from the start of the disk, it works very nicely for desktop loads but
once you've got more then one proc doing io data files can fragment badly.
One obvious solution is something like ext2's bitmap groups, which puts
file data into different areas of the disk based on which subdirectory
they are in. The problem with bitmap groups is that if you've got a
group of subdirectories their contents will be spread out all over the
disk, leading to lots of seeks during a sequential read.
This allocator patch uses the packing locality to determine which bitmap
group to allocate from, but when you create a file it looks in the bitmaps
to see how 'full' that packing locality already is. If it hasn't been
heavily used yet, the packing locality is inherited from the parent
directory putting files in new subdirs close to the parent subdir,
otherwise it is the inode number of the parent directory putting new
files far away from the parent subdir.
The end result is fewer bitmap groups for the same working set. For
example, one test data set created by 20 procs running in parallel has
6822 subdirs. And with vanilla reiserfs that would mean 6822
packing localities. This patch turns that into 26 packing localities.
This makes sequential reads of big directory trees more efficient, but
it also makes the btree more efficient in general. Things end up sorted
better because groups of subdirs end up with similar keys in the btree,
instead of being spread out all over.
The bitmap grouping code tries to use the start of each bitmap group
for metadata, and offsets the data slightly. The data and metadata
are still close together, but not completely intermixed like they are
in the default allocator. The end result is that leaf nodes tend to be
close to each other, making metadata readahead more effective.
The old block allocator had the ability to enforce a minimum
allocation size, but did not use it. It now tries to do a pass looking
for larger allocation chunks before falling back to the old behaviour
of taking any blocks it can find.
The patch changes the defaults to:
mount -o alloc=skip_busy:dirid_groups:packing_groups
You can get back the old behaviour with mount -o alloc=skip_busy
mount -o alloc=dirid_groups will turn on the bitmap groups
mount -o alloc=packing_groups turns on the packing locality reduction code
mount -o alloc=skip_busy:dirid_groups turns on both dirid_groups and
skip_busy
Finally the patch adds a mount -o alloc=oid_groups, which puts files into
bitmap groups based on a hash of their objectid. This would be used for
databases or other situations where you have a limited number of very
large files.
This command will tell you how many packing localities are actually in
use:
debugreiserfs -d /dev/xxx | grep '^|.*SD' | sed 's/^.....//' | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u | wc -l

[PATCH] binfmt_misc: improve calculation of interpreter's credentials
This patch allows for misc binaries to run with credentials and security
token that are calculated according to the binaries, and not according to the
interpreter, which is the legacy behavior of binfmt_misc.
The way it is done is by calling prepare_binprm, which is where these
attributes are calculated, before switching the 'file' field in the bprm from
the binary to the interpreter.
This feature should be used with care, since the interpreter will have root
permissions when running a setuid binary owned by root.
Please note -
- Only root can register an interpreter with binfmt_misc. The feature is
documented and the administrator is advised to handle it with care
- The new feature is enabled only with a special flag in the registration
string. When this flag is not specified the current behavior of
binfmt_misc is kept
- This is the only 'right' way for an interpreter to know the correct
AT_SECURE value for the interpreted binary
From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
This patchset looks OK, except for one problem. It installs the fd (which
could've been unreadable) without unsharing the ->files. So someone can use
this to read unreadable yet executable files. Here's a patch which fixes
that up. I added one bit that's commented out because I'm not positive if a
final steal_locks() is needed.
I did a fair amount of rearranging to simplify the error conditions
relative to the fd_install(), and unshare_files().
From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
I found that the intel patchset (and mine as well) leaked i_writecount on
the original executed file. In addition, I verified that the steal_locks()
bit is indeed needed.

[PATCH] Handle non-readable binfmt_misc executables
<background>
I work in a group that works on enabling the IA-32 Execution Layer
(http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20040113comp.htm) on Linux.
In a few words - this is a dynamic translator for IA-32 binaries on IPF
platform. Following David Mosberger's advice - we use the binfmt_misc
mechanism for the invocation of the translator whenever the user tries to
exec an IA-32 binary.
The EL is meant to help in the migration path from IA-32 to IPF. From our
beta customers we learnt that at first stage - they tend to keep their
environment mostly intact, using the legacy IA-32 binaries.
Such an environment has, naturally, setuid and non-readable binaries. It
will be useless to ask the administrator to change the settings of such an
environment - some of them are very complex, and the administrators are
reluctant to make any changes in a system that already proved itself to be
robust and secure. So, our target with these patches is not to enhance the
support for scripts but rather to allow a translator to be integrated into a
working environment that is not (and should not be) aware to the fact it's
being emulated.
As I said before - it is practically hopeless to expect an administrator of
such a system to change it so that it will suit the current behavior of
binfmt_misc. But, even if we could do that,
I'm not sure it would be a good idea - these changes are likely to be less
secure than the suggested patches -
- In order to execute non-readable binaries the binary will have to be made
readable, which is obviously less secure than allowing only a trusted
translator to read it
- There will be no way for the translator to calculate the accurate
AT_SECURE value for the translated process. This might end up with the
translated process running in a non-secured mode when it actually needs to
be secured.
</background>
I prepared a patch that solves a couple of problems that interpreters have
when invoked via binfmt_misc. currently -
1) such interpreters cannot open non-readable binaries
2) the processes will have their credentials and security attributes
calculated according to interpreter permissions and not those of the
original binary
the proposed patch solves these problems by -
1) opening the binary on behalf of the interpreter and passing its fd
instead of the path as argv[1] to the interpreter
2) calling prepare_binprm with the file struct of the binary and not the
one of the interpreter
The new functionality is enabled by adding a special flag to the registration
string. If this flag is not added then old behavior is not changed.
A preliminary version of this patch was sent to the list on 9/1/2003 with the
title "[PATCH]: non-readable binaries - binfmt_misc 2.6.0-test4". This new
version fixes the concerns that were raised by the patch, except of calling
unshare_files() before allocating a new fd. this is because this feature did
not enter 2.6 yet.
Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@intel.com> says:
We were going through an internal review of this patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107424598901720&w=2
which is in your tree already. I'm not sure if this line of code got
sufficient review.
+ /* call prepare_binprm before switching to interpreter's file
+ * so that all security calculation will be done according to
+ * binary and not interpreter */
+ retval = prepare_binprm(bprm);
The case that concerns me is: unprivileged interpreter and a privileged
binary. One can use binfmt_misc to execute untrusted code (interpreter) with
elevated privileges. One could argue that all binfmt_misc interpreters are
trusted, because only root can register them. But that's a change from the
traditional behavior of binfmt_misc (and binfmt_script).
(Update):
Arun pointed out that calculating the process credentials according to the
binary that needs to be translated is a bit risky, since it requires the
administrator to pay extra attention not to register an interpreter which is
not intended to run with root credentials.
After discussing this issue with him, I would like to propose a modified
patch: The old patch did 2 things - 1) open the binary for reading and 2)
calculate the credentials according to the binary.
I removed the riskier part of changing the credentials calculation, so the
revised patch only opens the binary for reading. It also includes few words
of warning in the description of the 'open-binary' feature in
binfmt_misc.txt, and makes the function entry_status print the flags in use.
As for the 'credentials' part of the patch, I will prepare a separate patch
for it and send it again to the LKML, describe the problem and ask for people
comments.

[PATCH] ppc64: avoid multiline /proc/cmdline content on iSeries
/proc/cmdline is filled via an OS400 call iSeries_init(). It scans the
returned data from the end, instead of the beginning. This leads to
multiple lines in /proc/cmdline
Just scan from the beginning and stop at the first newline. This patch
changes also the /proc/iSeries/mf/*/cmdline interface to do the same as the
initial setup.

[PATCH] mm: flush TLB when clearing young
Traditionally we've not flushed TLB after clearing the young/referenced bit,
it has seemed just a waste of time. Russell King points out that on some
architectures, with the move from 2.4 mm sweeping to 2.6 rmap, this may be a
serious omission: very frequently referenced pages never re-marked young, and
the worst choices made for unmapping.
So, replace ptep_test_and_clear_young by ptep_clear_flush_young throughout
rmap.c. Originally I'd imagined making some kind of TLB gather optimization,
but don't see what now: whether worth it rather depends on how common
cross-cpu flushes are, and whether global or not.
ppc and ppc64 have already found this issue, and worked around it by arranging
TLB flush from their ptep_test_and_clear_young: with the aid of pgtable rmap
pointers. I'm hoping ptep_clear_flush_young will allow ppc and ppc64 to
remove that special code, but won't change them myself.
It's worth noting that it is Andrea's anon_vma rmap which makes the vma
available for ptep_clear_flush_young in page_referenced_one: anonmm and
pte_chains would both need an additional find_vma for that.

[PATCH] ppc64: Optimize exception/syscall entry/exit
This rewrites the PPC64 exception entry/exit routines to make them
smaller and faster.
In particular we no longer save all of the registers for the common
exceptions - system calls, hardware interrupts and decrementer (timer)
interrupts - only the volatile registers. The other registers are saved
and restored (if used) by the C functions we call. This involved
changing the registers we use in early exception processing from r20-r23
to r9-r12, which ended up changing quite a lot of code in head.S.
Overall this gives us about a 20% reduction in null syscall time.
Some system calls need all the registers (e.g. fork/clone/vfork and
[rt_]sigsuspend). For these the syscall dispatch code calls a stub that
saves the nonvolatile registers before calling the real handler.
This also implements the force_successful_syscall_return() thing for
ppc64.

[PATCH] USB: Only process ports with change events pending
This patch adds a bit-array to the hub driver's private data structure,
used for storing the contents of the hub's interrupt status message. That
message indicates which ports have events pending (and whether the hub
itself has events pending). By only polling the status of the ports
listed in the bit-array we can save a fair amount of overhead in hub
communication.
(The #error test added to hub.h is a little awkward, but it's purely
precautionary -- it won't matter until someone decides to support hubs
with more than 31 ports!)
Also included in the patch, since this seemed the perfect opportunity for
it, is Byron's suggestion for handling hub events in the order in which
they were received.

[NET]: Clear dev refs in dst->child.
This is a resend of an earlier patch to dst_dev_event. I've changed
it slightly by moving the input/output assignment into dst_ifdown.
To recap, this patch drops lingering IPsec references to a device that
is being unregistered. The child processing in the GC is too late
since it never runs until the reference on the dst hits zero which
could take a long time for things like TCP connections.
The reason I've left the input/output assignment outside the loop is
because they aren't really necessary for the IPsec dst's, and if
it were in the loop then we'll have to do the same child processing
in ___dst_free as well.
I've tested this with an ESP/IPCOMP tunnel and I can confirm that it
does fix the problem.
