<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: fix file deletion again.
After looking into again, I realize that I was again getting file and
directory deletion a little wrong. This patch should go back to mimmicking
the VFS again.
- The extra dget() in sysfs_mknod() and sysfs_symlink() has been readded.
This is identical to the way ramfs does creation.
- We do d_delete() after simple_unlink() and simple_rmdir(), instead of
d_invalidate() before it. This is how vfs_rmdir() and vfs_unlink() do it,
and the way we used to.
<mochel@osdl.org>
Allow subsystem to have attributes, too.
This is really handy for subsystems that have any attributes they want
to export, esp. if they have just a few, since they don't have to define
all of the infrastructure for creating and tearing down the attributes
for the high level type that they are.
- define struct subsys_attribute for declaring attributes of subsystems
themselves.
- define subsys_create_file() and subsys_remove_file().
- define subsys_sysfs_ops for forwarding sysfs reads and writes to the
subsystem attribute callbacks.
- Set the sysfs_ops to be the subsystem ones if the kobject doesn't belong
to a subsystem itself (meaning that it is a subsystem).
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: updates for 2.5.48
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: more pci_dev name fixes
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: clean up show_regs and remove print_backtrace
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: update for Ingo's threading changes and clean up show_regs etc
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: defconfig update
<anton@samba.org>
ppc64: defconfig update - enable raid
<sam@mars.ravnborg.org>
kbuild: Move flags to Makefile.lib
a_flags defined in Makefile.lib, and a set of flags made for host
related rules. This avoided some duplication in Makefile.build
<sam@mars.ravnborg.org>
kbuild: Introduced build-targets
build-targets is used to list targets that is always built.
This allowed misuse of EXTRA_TARGETS to be deleted.
built-in.o is now only created for directories defining a obj-* variable,
avoiding this for scripts and lxdialog
One Makefile needed a dummy obj- statement
<sam@mars.ravnborg.org>
kbuild: No longer use descend macro, added 'Kernel: xxx is ready' text
In the top-level Makefile and in the i386 architecture specific
makefile no longer use descend.
i386 is used as template for other architectures, so they shall
be kept nice.
Also added a little text:
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
A reminder of what target you did build, and where it is located
<bdschuym@pandora.be>
[BRIDGE]: new_nbp runs under rwlock so needs to use GFP_ATOMIC.
<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)>
The software cursor works for any pixel arrangement
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
move dma_mask into struct device
Attached is a patch which moves dma_mask into struct device and cleans up the
scsi mid-layer to use it (instead of using struct pci_dev). The advantage to
doing this is probably most apparent on non-pci bus architectures where
currently you have to construct a fake pci_dev just so you can get the bounce
buffers to work correctly.
The patch tries to perturb the minimum amount of code, so dma_mask in struct
device is simply a pointer to the one in pci_dev. However, it will make it
easy for me now to add generic device to MCA without having to go the fake pci
route.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
remove struct pci_dev from scsi
This patch completely removes struct pci_dev from scsi and replaces it with struct device
(actually as host_driverfs_dev.parent)
The old (but now deprecated) scsi_pci primitives are left in. These should be replaced
by using the new scsi_device primitives.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
MCA sysfs changes
These changes make MCA use sysfs. They export the identical api
to the previous MCA functions, but now everything operates in
terms of sysfs struct devices.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
MCA sysfs Part II - abstract out the hw specific pieces
Just in case some raving lunatic wants to add other platform
support for MCA (like RS6000)
Abstract the hardware pieces from the general MCA bus handling
Make all bus and pos accesses go through special accessor registers
add transform functions for multiple MCA bus machines
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
make mca-bus.c use generic device dma_mask
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
Move NCR_D700 to MCA sysfs
Make D700 use the sysfs based device probing code and the new
MCA API entirely.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
add mca-driver handling
Tidies up the handling of MCA drivers
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
update smc-mca to new MCA API
This updates to the new API and means that smc-mca is now probed similarly to a PCI device
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
add mca-driver.c file
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] more sdev freeing rationalization
(1) new helper in scsi_scan.c: scsi_forget_host. it's the counterpart to
scsi_scan_host. it shares code with scsi_remove_single_device
through a common subroutine, scsi_forget_host.
(2) move scsi_get_host_dev/scsi_free_host_dev (again). Having them in
scsi_scan.c allows to make scsi_alloc_sdev/scsi_free_sdev static.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove implicit scsi_register()
hosts.c has some crufty old code to implicitly do scsi_register/
scsi_unregister for drivers that don't do it. This seems to be
a left-over from the very early days and apparently no driver
in the tree uses it (at least according to some grepping).
This patch removes it.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove that anoying in_atomic()...
We're always called from scsi_prep_fn which is guaranteed to be called
under a spinlock from the block layer.
Also nuke more broken includes.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove superflous scsi_delete_timer()
the first action performed by scsi_mlqueue_insert() is exactly that
scsi_delete_timer()
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] remove outdated comment from scsi.c
In 2.5 there's just one request_fn left.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
fix 53c700.c for new module loader
and add C99 initialisers to NCR_D700.c
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
correct bug in smc-mca.c card counting
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o uaccess.h: remove include sched.h, it only needs thread_info.h
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
mca-sysfs-VI
Make proc and legacy depend on compile options.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o sb_ess: fix up header cleanup: add include <linux/interrupt.h>
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
make MCA_PROC_FS depend on PROC_FS
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o ambassador: set_bit & friends require a long
Also make drain_rx_pools always available, it is called outside
#ifdef CONFIG_MODULE.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o drivers/atm/horizon.c: test_bit & friends require long
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o drivers/char/sx.c: test_bit and friends require a long

o hdlcdrv.c: set_bit and friends require a long
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o fealnx: fix up some printk paramenters
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o drivers/net/setup.c: fix special_device_init struct initialization
struct net_device changed, making sb1000_probe not match with the
.init position, convert it to C99 initializers so that doesn't happens
anymore when net_device changes again.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o lance.c: set_bit and friends require a long
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o drivers/net/ni65.c: test_bit and friends require long
Also convert some structs to C99 initialization style.
<osst@riede.org>
osst update
fro Willem Riede.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o net/ipv4/raw.c: add missing include <linux/mroute.h>
Also add a include <net/sock.h> to linux/mroute.h as it uses
struct sock, etc.
<jsimmons@maxwell.earthlink.net>
Ported Mach64 and NVIDIA driver to final api. A bunch of improvements and bug fixes.
<jsimmons@maxwell.earthlink.net>
Use the new name of the software cursor function.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o tcpv4: convert /proc/net/tcp to seq_file
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o net/core/dev.c: convert /proc/net/dev to seq_file
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o wireless: convert /proc/net/wireless to seq_file
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
kbuild: Always generate the module name automatically.
Rusty introduced no_module_init() to provide a way of putting
the module name into a special section. People didn't like that,
and it's doable without user visible changes ;)
I didn't keep any compatibility define for no_module_init (and removed
the current occurences) in order to make sure it doesn't spread anyway.
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o mxser: add module_exit/module_init
This fixes the compilation problem in 2.5
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o net/core/dev.c: convert /proc/net/softnet_stat to seq_file
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o net/ipv4/af_inet.c: remove include seq_file.h and proc_fs.h, not needed anymore
thanks to Chris Wilson <chris@qwirx.com> for pointing out that seq_file.h
was not needed anymore.

SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:132993a
<nathans@sgi.com>
[XFS] Remove assert claiming data and attribute extents cannot be logged at the
same time - Steve thinks this is unlikely to be a real problem, and it was
masking real problems further on (see test 070).
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:133353a
<mochel@osdl.org>
fix up block device usage of kobjects.
alloc_disk() should set the kobject's subsystem before calling kobject_init(),
which would increment the subsystem's refcount (to be decremented in
kobject_cleanup()). Since it was being set after the call, the subsystem's
refcount was being pushed to 0 if the floppy driver was enabled, but there
were no floppy drives found (the driver would alloc_disk(), then put_disk() if
no drives were found).
Partitions use kobject_register(), so they don't have to do kobject_init()
(it's done for them).
add_disk() should use kobject_add() instead of kobject_register(), since
it's already done kobject_init() in alloc_disk().
Also, del_gendisk() doesn't have to do extra refcount and call
kobject_unregister(); it should just call kobject_del(). The block device
will be freed up later when put_disk() pushes the refcount to 0.
<nathans@sgi.com>
[XFS] Use kmalloc/kfree for all xattr memory allocations.
SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:133355a
<mochel@osdl.org>
NUMA: make sure that the node device class is registered before the node driver.
This fixes an Oops on boot on NUMA systems, since the driver tries to access the
device class when it's registered.

scsi sysfs update 3
I have attached an updated combined patch of my previously posted sysfs
changes.
This patch is against linux-scsi.bkbits.net/scsi-misc-2.5
This patch contains these updates:
- update to osst.c to support sysfs cleanups.
- oops fix in osst.c detach if no device attached. A better
method than this quick fix is needed.
- removed scsi_bus_hotplug function do to bug and not really
needed now as default gives path data. If needed in future can
be added with better definition.

<zaitcev@redhat.com>
[SUNZILOG]: Better serial TTY default settings.
<srompf@isg.de>
[netdrvr starfire] add netif_carrier_{on,off} calls
<key@austin.ibm.com>
[netdrvr lanstreamer] a fix and a feature addition:
This patch takes 2 calls to free_irq out of the interrupt
function's code path, which if hit would cause the machine
to hang. It also adds netif_carrier_{on|off} calls where
necessary.
<rl@hellgate.ch>
[netdrvr via-rhine] merge bug fixes and new features from 2.4.x kernel:
- better Tx error handling on certain chips
- handle chip-specific collision counters
- use MII lib
- selectable backoff algorithm
<gronkin@nerdvana.com>
[netdrvr tulip] new pci id

[SOUND]: ioctl32.c wants linux/fs.h
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[XFS]: support/move.c wants linux/errno.h
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[SOUND]: {rawmidi32,seq32,timer32}.c want linux/fs.h
<andmike@us.ibm.com>
add scsi_sysfs.c
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] abstract out more scsi_device acess out of the low-level drivers
Two new helpers: scsi_device_get and scsi_device_put that get/release a
reference to the underlying HBA driver and increment/decrement
->access_count. Cleanup ->attach/->detach routines in the upper layer
drivers a bit to consolidate the error pathes once we're cleaning them
up.
->attach and ->detach in upper layer drivers are mandatory now (not
having them would be rather pointless).
(note that the sd.c changes are not in this patch, it'll be part of
my next, bigger patch)
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] clean up sd bdev methods
(1) move all bdev methods in one place instead of spreading them all
around the file
(2) consistant naming: everything is sd_<operation> now
(3) use scsi_device_get/scsi_device_put
(4) remove bogus checks scsi_disk->device set, since 2.5.4x it always is
(5) clean up some coding style issues
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
scsi-dma-mask modify for andmike's changes
<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)>
Made it modular.
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] fix sd device number handling
This is the final patch to make sd work properly in a hotplug
enviroment. Add a bitmap for currently used disks so that we
can properly reuse dev_t when a disk is hot-unplugged.
While at that add support for the eight additional majors
allocated to sd in the latest devices.txt [1].
If only register_blkdev finally died we could nuke almost all
knowledge of majors/minors from sd...
[1] http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices.txt
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] fix sr device number handling
The same for sr (I didn't actually had a chance to actually test this,
but it's the same change as in sd).
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] complain about missing host template initializations
Currently scsi_register_host silently fixes up missing initializations
of max_sectors and release. Add some printks complaining about this
so we can get rid of it sooner or later.
<edward_peng@dlink.com.tw>
[netdrvr dl2k] only read 0x100 through 0x150 statistics registers if mem mapping
<oliver@oenone.homelinux.org>
[PATCH] module unload race with usb serial drivers
the serial subdrivers may be unloading while we open.
This patch against 2.5 guards against that.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB serial: cleaned up the rest of the __MOD_INC and __MOD_DEC calls to use the new module API
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] usbfs: more list cleanups
Here is a small cleanup patch for 2.5 that goes on top of my previous
ones. It makes devio.c use the list traversal macros from list.h.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] usb-storage doesn't say clear_halt WORKED
This removes a printk that's been cluttering up my logs,
especially when I do things like 'mkfs -c ...' it doesn't
seem to be needed any more.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] reduce debug message volume
This reduces the debug message volume a bit, mostly by using the
new dev_dbg() macros instead of the usb dbg() ones in some places
during HCD init/shutdown. Likewise dev_info().
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] ehci-hcd, handle async_next register correctly
This patch should improve behavior of the EHCI driver,
particularly on VIA hardware.
- A more careful reading of the EHCI spec turns up
requirements not to change this register's value
while the async schedule is enabled. That means
in effect that it must never point to a QH that'd
get unlinked ... driver now uses a dedicated QH.
- Disables async schedule a bit faster: after 50msec
idle, not 330msec idle.
- Streamline the "can't init memory" failure path.
- Start to use the dev_dbg()/dev_info()/... macros
in more places.
This version acts a bunch happier than the previous

[PATCH] Patch/resubmit(2.5.50): Eliminate pci_dev.driver_data
To review, this patch deletes pci_dev.driver_data, using the
existing pci_dev.device.driver_data field instead, thereby shrinking
struct pci_dev by four bytes on 32-bit machines. The few device
drivers that attempted to directly reference pci_dev.driver_data were
fixed in a patch of mine that Jeff Garzik got into 2.5.45. Also,
making this change should help with memory allocation improvements in
the future, although that's a separate issue.

o arp: fix seq_file handling bug
When midnigth commander viewer is invoked it first opens the file, read
4 bytes (probably looking for a magic number), reading only 4 bytes makes
state->is_pneigh not to be set neither the lock is taken, because only
the header is being produced (v = (void *)1), so when arp_seq_stop is
called the lock is dropped without having being taken: b00m
Thanks to Serge Kuznetsov for reporting this to me. Other seq_file
code may have this problem, but by using mc viewer in all of /proc/net
I haven't been able to reproduce this problem with any other file.

Make dupfd() locking more clear.
Walter Harms pointed out the locking was rather obtuse in dupfd. This
patch makes it much clearer. Present code acquires a lock in dupfd()
callee locate_fd(), and releases it in allocate_fd() OR dupfd() itself.
This changes cleans this up to acquire and release the lock entirely
within dupfd(), which moves locking completely out of locate_fd()
and allows the manual inlining of allocate_fd() into its only caller,
dupfd().
This change is functionally equivalent to the current code
[well, dupfd might run a cycle or two faster if the compiler optimizes well...]

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Prevent PNPBIOS re-registering already detected ports
During initialisation of 8250 serial, we scan a list of ISA ports and
register any ports. We then perform PNPBIOS scanning, which re-registers
ttyS0. Unfortunately, if devfs is enabled, devfs reports an error because
we try to create two tts/0 entries.
Therefore, when adding a new port we check that it has not been detected
before attempting to probe the port and register it with devfs (via the
tty layer.)
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Export pci_siig10x_fn() and pci_siig20x_fn()
Patch from Zwane Mwaikambo, fixed by rmk, comments by rmk.
SIIG cards have parallel ports in addition to serial ports. We therefore
probe the cards in parport_serial.c and call the serial specific probe
functions in 8250_pci.c
This is the second half of a patch that was applied in 2.5.50 to
parport_serial by others without the corresponding 8250_pci.c changes.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Pass "iomap" base from probe modules
Patch from Randolph Chung, slightly modified by rmk.
When displaying the details of memory mapped serial ports, we want to show
some sane base value. The cookie returned from ioremap can be meaningless
to users (and developers), especially when the cookie could be a dynamically
allocated virtual address.
The more useful cookie is the value passed into ioremap. We already have
support for handling this cookie internally - we haven't allowed the PCI
probe module to hand it to the higher levels until now.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Fix failure checks
We originally checked for failure by checking if the returned code
was non-zero. Strictly, it should be a negative value.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Replace tty->alt_speed with uart_get_baud_rate()
We provide a new function, uart_get_baud_rate(), to return the
desired numeric baud rate from the uart_port and tty structures.
This allows us to:
1. localise the 38400 alternate speed kludge to one area.
2. support faster baud rates than the usual baud_base / desired_rate
calculations in the future (eventually allowing the use of the
magic divisors in 8250.c.)
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Move custom_divisor from uart_state to uart_port.
This is another step towards moving the divisor calculations into
the low level drivers, thereby allowing the faster baud rates
mentioned in the previous cset. Moving this field to uart_port
means that the low level drivers do not have to know about the
uart_state structure.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Move quot/divisor calculation to uart_get_divisor()
uart_get_divisor() calculates the divisor for standard uarts, and
will eventually become a helper function for low level port drivers.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] Move the FIFO timeout calculations into uart_update_timeout()
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[SERIAL] uart_get_divisor() and uart_get_baud_rate() takes termios.
Currently, uart_get_divisor() and uart_get_baud_rate() take a tty
structure. We really want them to take a termios structure so we
can avoid passing a tty structure all the way down to the low level
drivers.
In order to do this, we need to be able to convert a termios
structure to a numeric baud rate - we provide tty_termios_baud_rate() in
tty_io.c for this purpose. It performs a subset of the
tty_get_baud_rate() functionality, but without any "alt_speed"
kludge.
We finally export uart_get_baud_rate() and uart_get_divisor() to for
low level drivers to use. We now have all the functions in place
to support ports which want to have access to the real baud rate
rather than a divisor value.

From Andrew Morton
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] kallsyms in modules fix

[PATCH] Table fix for module-init-tools
This patch allows the new depmod to generate the USB & PCI hotplug
tables. Greg Banks and I are (slowly) working on a better solution, but
allows the old-style "modules.pcimap" etc. to be generated in the short
term.
This patch adds a "__mod_XXX_table" symbol which is an alias to the
module table, rather than a pointer. This makes it relatively trivial
to extract the table. Previously, it required a pointer dereference,
which means the relocations must be applied, which is why the old depmod
needs so much of modutils (ie. it basically links the whole module in
order to find the table).
The old depmod can still be invoked using "-F System.map" to generate
the tables (there'll be lots of other warnings, and it will generate a
completely bogus modules.dep, but the tables should be OK.)
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] v850 support
On the v850, the elf toolchain uses a `_' prefix for all user symbols
(I'm not sure why, since most toolchains seem to have dropped this sort
of thing).
The attached patch adds the ability to deal with this, if the macro
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined by <asm/module.h>. This only affects
places where symbol names come from the user, e.g., EXPORT_SYMBOL, or
the explicit symbol-names used in kernel/module.c itself.
[Tweaked a little by Rusty, original by Miles Bader]
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] module names fix
By Kai Germaschewski:
"Well, I have another solution, which doesn't need additional Makefile
magic or anything.
I just put the module name into each .o file where <linux/module.h> is
included. Putting it into the section .gnu.linkonce.modname has the effect
that even for multi-part modules, we only end up with one copy of the
name.
Caveat: I'm using the preprocessor macro KBUILD_MODNAME to know what to
put into .gnu.linkonce.modname. The following used to happen:
(drivers/isdn/eicon/Makefile)
divas-objs := common.o Divas_mod.o ...
eicon-objs := common.o eicon_mod.o ...
Divas_mod.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=divas
eicon_mod.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=eicon
common.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=divas_eicon
So in the case above, both divas.o and eicon.o would end up with
a .gnu.linkonce.modname section containing "divas_eicon"
My fix to this is to not define KBUILD_MODNAME when compiling an object
whilch will be linked into more than one module - so common.o gets no
.gnu.linkonce.modname section at all. Works fine here.
Now, doing this I remove one of the reasons why we would need modules
linked as '.ko' ;), but it seems much cleaner than generating a temporary
file, using objcopy etc."

[PATCH] tcore-fixes-2.5.50-E6
This fixes threaded coredumps and streamlines the code. The old code
caused crashes and hung coredumps. The new code has been tested for
some time already and appears to be robust. Changes:
- the code now uses completions instead of a semaphore and a waitqueue,
attached to mm_struct:
/* coredumping support */
int core_waiters;
struct completion *core_startup_done, core_done;
- extended the completion concept with a 'complete all' call - all pending
threads are woken up in that case.
- core_waiters is a plain integer now - it's always accessed from under
the mmap_sem. It's also used as the fastpath-check in the sys_exit()
path, instead of ->dumpable (which was incorrect).
- got rid of the ->core_waiter task flag - it's not needed anymore.

[PATCH] getppid-2.5.50-A3
This changes sys_getppid() to be more POSIX-threading conformant.
sys_getppid() needs to return the PID of the "process' parent" (ie. the
tgid of the parent thread), not the thread parent's PID. The patch has
no effect on non-CLONE_THREAD users, for them current->group_leader ==
current. The effect on CLONE_THREAD threads is that getppid() does not
return any PID within the thread group anymore. Plus if a threaded
application starts up a (non-thread) child then the child sees the
process PID of the parent process, not the thread PID of the parent
thread.
in theory we could introduce the getttid() variant to get to the TID of
the parent thread, but i doubt it would be of any use. (and we can add
it if the need arises.)
The lockless algorithm is still safe because the ->group_leader pointer
never changes asynchronously. (the ->real_parent pointer might still
change asynchronously so the SMP checks are still needed.)
I've also updated the comments (they referenced the nonexistent p_ooptr
field.), plus i've changed the mb() to rmb() - we need to order the
reads, we dont do any global writes that need some predictable ordering.

driver model: get rid of global device list; minor cleanups.
Since the device subsystem contains a global list of registered objects,
we don't need to keep our own separate list, so we axe it. This also
results in a savings of sizeof(void *) x 2 in the size of each device.
drivers/base/power.c is updated to take the subsystem's rwsem and iterate
over that list of objects.
This leaves only the children list of struct device protected by the driver
model semaphore. This could be removed, but there is one user of it (EDD),
so it can't happen yet.
This patch also removes the driver model spinlock, which isn't used anymore.

[PATCH] kbd_pt_regs
Hey guys, I really want to kill this thing.
The only way to do that is to actually pass the pt_regs
all the way down from the interrupt source. It would be
a three step process:
1) Add pt_regs arg to serio_interrupt and serio->dev->interrupt()
Update all serio->dev drivers and serio_interrupt() invokers.
I've done this in the patch below. We must handle pt_regs being
NULL, f.e. when the event is via a tty ldisc or a timer for which
there is no "pt_regs" context to obtain.
2) At the input layer, push 'regs' down via input_event() into the
handlers.
Patch below does this as well.
3) Final step to complete this, convert USB to pass the pt_regs that
the host controller interrupt receives down to the URB callbacks.
This itself was also a multistep process:
a) pass regs down from generic host controller
layer to hcd driver
b) pass regs from hcd driver into urb handler
EHCI is problematic here, as it does the URB
work in a tasklet :( we need to decide whether
we can move the normal URB completion back into
the hw interrupt handler or not
I think it should be done, I'd basically have my
thumbs up my butt if I didn't have Alt-SYSRQ-p
register dumps available and that is what EHCI+usbkbd
is currently.
UHCI and OHCI both complete urbs in hw IRQ context
so they are just fine.
c) update urb handlers to take the regs arg, make hcd
drivers pass it on in
I was really bored, so this was also done in the patch below :)
We get a USB cleanup for free because of this, a lot of people
were defining their own ugly typedefs for what should be
usb_complete_t so I fixed that up :-)
I also caught a lot of usb_fill_*() call sites casting the
completion function pointer to usb_complete_t so the compiler
wouldn't help us find necessary fixup if we changed the
args again :-( I think I got them all, someone bored should
grep the tree for usb_complete_t and fixup any remaining spots
where it is used in a cast.
I tried to enable as many drivers as possible in a test build
but it is possible I did miss a few obscure USB configs.
So why do I want to kill kbd_pt_regs so badly? Well, first of all I
have to walk through all kinds of hoops on sparc64 to update
kbd_pt_regs properly on the USB controller interrupt and I've had
a few cases where I had trouble tracking down some kernel bug
because kbd_pt_regs could easily be inaccurate if another interrupt
came in right after the keyboard USB one.
Right now, kbd_pt_regs is not updated at all for USB keyboards on x86
rendering SYSRQ register dumps non-existent in such configurations.
This forces it to happen, and because the regs are passed in the
context in which the URB completes, it will always be accurate (it
will even work properly if I have 5 USB keyboards :-)
While doing this, I also noticed a bunch of ancient keyboard drivers

driver model: clean up interface handling.
- Make sure devices are added to an interface if the interface is registered
e.g. as a module.
- Make sure interface data descriptors are inserted into the interface's list
by adding a kobject to them and calling kobject_register.
- Create interface_remove_data() for explicit removal of data descriptor.
- Break common pieces into separate functions.
- Add lots of comments.
- Add class_list to struct device, so we can access the devices registered
with the class.

[PATCH] remove bad inodes from hash table
When testing the XFS 1.2 release we found a problem that was caused
by inodes made unusable by make_bad_inode() still beeing returned by
iget() and friends. The workaround was to call remove_inode_hash()
before each call to make_bad_inode().
I think the proper fix is to let make_bad_inode() remove the inodes
from the hash chains.

[PATCH] Remove the final per-page throttling site in the VM
This removes the last remnant of the 2.4 way of throttling page
allocators: the wait_on_page_writeback() against mapped-or-swapcache
pages.
I did this because:
a) It's not used much.
b) It's already causing big latencies
c) With Jens' large-queue stuff, it can cause huuuuuuuuge latencies.
Like: ninety seconds.
So kill it, and rely on blk_congestion_wait() to slow the allocator
down to match the rate at which the IO system can retire writes.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Move reclaimable pages to the tail ofthe inactive list on
The patch addresses some search complexity failures which occur when
there is a large amount of dirty data on the inactive list.
Normally we attempt to write out those pages and then move them to the
head of the inactive list. But this goes against page aging, and means
that the page has to traverse the entire list again before it can be
reclaimed.
But the VM really wants to reclaim that page - it has reached the tail
of the LRU.
So what we do in this patch is to mark the page as needing reclamation,
and then start I/O. In the IO completion handler we check to see if
the page is still probably reclaimable and if so, move it to the tail of
the inactive list, where it can be reclaimed immediately.
Under really heavy swap-intensive loads this increases the page reclaim
efficiency (pages reclaimed/pages scanned) from 10% to 25%. Which is
OK for that sort of load. Not great, but OK.
This code path takes the LRU lock once per page. I didn't bother
playing games with batching up the locking work - it's a rare code
path, and the machine has plenty of CPU to spare when this is
happening.

[PATCH] Special-case fail_writepage() in page reclaim
Pages from memory-backed filesystems are supposed to be moved up onto
the active list, but that's not working because fail_writepage() is
called when the page is not on the LRU.
So look for this case in page reclaim and handle it there.
And it's more efficient, the VM knows more about what is going on and
it later leads to the removal of fail_writepage().
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Move unreleasable pages onto the active list
With some workloads a large number of pages coming off the LRU are
pinned blockdev pagecache - things like ext2 group descriptors, pages
which have buffers in the per-cpu buffer LRUs, etc.
They keep churning around the inactive list, reducing the overall page
reclaim effectiveness.
So move these pages onto the active list.

[PATCH] memory barrier work in ipc/util.c
Patch from Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com>
- ipc_lock() need a read_barrier_depends() to prevent indexing
uninitialized new array on the read side. This is corresponding to
the write memory barrier added in grow_ary() from Dipankar's patch to
prevent indexing uninitialized array.
- Replaced "wmb()" in IPC code with "smp_wmb()"."wmb()" produces a
full write memory barrier in both UP and SMP kernels, while
"smp_wmb()" provides a full write memory barrier in an SMP kernel,
but only a compiler directive in a UP kernel. The same change are
made for "rmb()".
- Removed rmb() in ipc_get(). We do not need a read memory barrier
there since ipc_get() is protected by ipc_ids.sem semaphore.
- Added more comments about why write barriers and read barriers are
needed (or not needed) here or there.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] speed up signals
2.5's signal delivery is 20% slower than 2.4. A signal send/handle
cycle is performing a total of 24 copy_*_user() calls, and
copy_*_user() got optimised for large copies.
The patch reduces that to six copy_*_user() calls, and gets us up to
about 5% slower than 2.4. We'd have to go back to some additional
inlined copy_user() code to get the last 3% back. And HZ=100 to get
the 2% back.
It is noteworthy that the benchmark is not using float at all during
the body of the test, yet the kernel is still doing all that floating
point stuff.

[PATCH] Fix PF_MEMDIE
Patch from Hugh Dickins and Robert Love.
Fixes up the PF_MEMDIE handling so that it actually works.
(PF_MEMDIE allows an oom-killed task to use the emergency memory

die)
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] suppress some buffer-layer warnings on write IO errors
The buffer-stripping code gets upset when it sees a non-uptodate buffer
against an uptodate page. This happens because the write end_io
handler clears BH_Uptodate.
Add a buffer_req() test to suppress these warnings.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] truncate speedup
This patch optimises the truncate of a zero-length file, which is a
sufficiently common case to justify the extra test-n-branch.
It does this by skipping the entire call into the fs if i_size is not
being altered.
The AIM9 `open_clo' test just loops, creating and unlinking a file.
This patch speeds it up 50% for ext2, 600% for reiserfs.
<akpm@digeo.com>
[PATCH] Fix interaction between batched lru addition and hot/cold
If a page is "freed" while in the deferred-lru-addition queue, the
final reference to it is the deferred lru addition queue. When that
queue gets spilled onto the LRU, the page is actually freed.
Which is all expected and natural and works fine - it's a weird case.
But one of the AIM9 tests was taking a 20% performance hit (relative to
2.4) because it was going into the page allocator for new pages while
cache-hot pages were languishiung out in the deferred-addition queue.
So the patch changes things so that we spill the CPU's
deferred-lru-addition queue before starting to free pages. This way,
the recently-used pages actually make it to the hot/cold lists and are
available for new allocations.
It gets back 15 of the lost 20%. The other 5% is lost to the general
additional complexity of all this stuff. (But we're 250% faster than
2.4 when running four instances of the test on 4-way).

[XFS] remove some unused code paths from the log flushing paths, and

[PATCH] readdir speedup and fixes
2.5 is 20% slower than 2.4 in an AIM9 test which is just running
readdir across /bin. A lot of this is due to lots of tiny calls to
copy_to_user() in fs/readdir.c. The patch speeds up that test by 50%,
so it's comfortably faster than 2.4.
Also, there were lots of unchecked copy_to_user() and put_user() calls
in there. Fixed all that up as well.
The patch assumes that each arch has a working 64-bit put_user(), which
appears to be the case.

'struct compat_timespec'.

James,
Christoph and Douglas Gilbert detected a compile error in
ide-scsi with the sysfs update in scsi-misc-2.5. Christoph sent
a RFC patch to LKML that request feedback on the removal of the
transform function in ide-scsi. In the short term I am
forwarding Doug's patch against scsi-misc-2.5 that restores
previous functionality by using the sysfs driver name.

[PATCH] add more scsi_device sysfs attributes
Hi -
This patch adds some scsi_device sysfs specific macros (based on some
in the usb source), and adds more scsi_device sysfs attributes.
It modifies the current output of the "type" attribute to be
the numeric value of the type, and adds a few other attributes.
It is easy to add or remove scsi_device attributes with this patch.
Example sysfs with this patch:
[patman@elm3a50 patman]$ ls /sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0
0:0:0:0:gen current_queue_depth name power vendor
access_count device_blocked new_queue_depth rev
block model online type
And results of catting each file above (block and 0:0:0:0:gen are
not files):
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/access_count: '2'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/current_queue_depth: '253'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/device_blocked: '0'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/model: 'ST318203LC !#'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/name: 'SIBM-PSG ST318203LC !#LRA6701300007027J5ZL'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/new_queue_depth: '253'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/online: '1'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/power: '0'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/rev: 'B222'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/type: '0'
/sysfs/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/vendor: 'IBM-PSG '
The online bit field is writable, although setting it to 0 is not useful.

[PATCH] EDD compile fixes
This fixes edd.c. The SCSI changes replaced host_driverfs_dev with a
pointer to a struct device. But, the Scsi_Host that the
edd_find_matching_scsi_device() was trying to get was never used anyway.
So, I removed it.
This also fixes a problem that I introduced a while ago, and that I
promised Matt I would fix: all attributes were getting added by default,
though they shouldn't be. This regards only the truly default
attributes as default, and uses the test mechanism of the other
attributes to determine whether to add them or not.

[PATCH] s390: cio rework.
Rewrite of the s390 channel subsystem driver for the new driver model
The channel subsystem driver a.k.a s390 common I/O layer is the low level
driver for most device drivers on s390 systems. The old code is largely
unchanged from the initial linux-2.2 port and there is a lot of bitrot
on it.
In particular, concepts from the 2.5 driver model are implemented in a
completely different and more complicated way here.
This rewrite tries to get the driver ready for 2.6. The new interface is
not compatible to the old one but should be rather stable now unless
someone finds major flaws.
The 's390dyn' and 'chandev' interfaces have been removed entirely (yippii!)
and are replaced by hotplug and sysfs interfaces.

[PATCH] s390: ccwgroups.
ccwgroup bus driver.
The ccwgroup driver contains 'ccw_group' devices, which needed because of
strange hardware properties: Some device drivers need two or more
ccw_devices to make up a logical device and the user has to configure
which ones belong together. We have not found a way to represent this
correctly using the linux driver model, the current implementation
is about as good as it gets.

[PATCH] s390: 3215 driver.
Convert 3215 console driver to new channel subsystem driver
this adds support for the driver model to the 3215 driver. The console
is one of the biggest problems because the regular device detection
is now done at initcall time although we actually want full
support for channel attached console devices as early as possible.
con3215_init() now uses a special ccw_device_probe_console() function
to do an early initialization of a single device.
The main backdraw for users is that the console can no longer
be autodetected when not running under VM. LPAR or P390 users
with a channel attached console now have to specify
console_device=f00 as a kernel parameter.

[PATCH] Update adbhid.c driver
This updates drivers/macintosh/adbhid.c driver (which interfaces between
the ADB bus and the input layer). The patch gets rid of global cli/sti
uses and corrects some typos (for example input.idversion ->
input.id.version). These changes have been approved by Franz Sirl, the
maintainer of this driver.

[PATCH] more typos in __stxncpy
[posted on axp-list yesterday; I already have some success reports]
- ev6: missing local label which causes oopses in several places.
BTW, I was quite surprised that `as' allows such things
(I guess it shouldn't):
br 1f
...
$foo:
...
1:
- ev5: t12 instead of t10 - corruption in ISO readdir, probably other
nastiness.
Also, minor cleanups:
- move the label in $unaligned, this should save a cycle or two;
- replace redundant `mskqh' with a nop (it doesn't save any cycles though);
- fix comment: t12 _is_ touched.
Applies to both 2.4 and 2.5.
Ivan.

ppc64: PCI rework 1
<ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>
[PATCH] alpha pci update
- back out Jay's changes in quirk_cypress;
- take into account iommu windows setup for pci resources allocation;
- don't use 2nd arg in pcibios_update_resource(), it's going to be
removed;
- implement pcibios_enable_device() - currently we use the init-time
pdev_enable_device() which is sentenced to death.

[PATCH] patch 2.5.50+, ehci-hcd loop termination
While in search of a different bug, I found this one
that got in with the recent 'async_next' patch. The
schedule scan termination changed (had to), but it
wasn't quite correct. Slower and/or misbehaving
devices might have wedged a CPU ... fix is simple,
only restart the scan when the list may have changed.

[PATCH] usb-storage: make CBI interrupt URBs one-shot
Change interrupt used for CBI from periodic to one-shot. This (a) reduces
consumed bandwidth, (b) makes the logic clearer, and (c) makes the abort
mechanism more uniform.

[PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: make internal structs more consistent
This patch makes ss->ep_int just like ep_in and ep_out for improved code
symmetry and readability. It may (on some architectures) also shrink the
size of the per-device data structure.

[PATCH] epoll bits 0.59 ...
- Finalized the interface by :
* Having an epoll_event structure instead of using the pollfd
* Adding a 64 bit opaque data member to the epoll_event structure
* Removing the "fd" member from the epoll_event structure
* Removing the "revents" member to leave space for a unique 32 bit
"events" member
- Fixes the problem where, due the new callback'd wake_up() mechanism
loops might be generated by bringing deadlock or stack blow ups.
In fact a user could create a cycle by adding epoll fds inside
other epoll fds. The patch solves the problem by either :
* Moving the wake_up() call done on the poll wait queue head,
outside the locked region
* Implementing a new safe wake up function for the poll wait queue
head
- Some variable renaming
- Changed __NR_sys_epoll_* to __NR_epoll_* ( Hanna Linder )
- Blocked the add operation of an epoll file descriptor inside itself
- Comments added/fixed
