The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns
out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a
specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent
instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided.
The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch
multicall.
To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the
idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time.
Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of
multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some
kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow
one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more
comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated
need for this extra complexity.

ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch . This arch needs to place a
read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page. This read only copy is
named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in
arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias. So the declaration of
xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define,
defined to true on x86_64.
We can get same result with _attribute__((weak)) in the declaration. linker

Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting
is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.
In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.

Every call to is_orphaned_pgrp passed in process_group(current) which is racy
with respect to another thread changing our process group. It didn't bite us
because we were dealing with integers and the worse we would get would be a
stale answer.
In switching the checks to use struct pid to be a little more efficient and
prepare the way for pid namespaces this race became apparent.
So I simplified the calls to the more specialized is_current_pgrp_orphaned so
I didn't have to worry about making logic changes to avoid the race.

To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of
struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous.
To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid
pointer. To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my
caller to hold the appropriate locks. Leaving callers repsonsible for
increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of
the locks.
Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply
uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking
change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all.
tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock. The logic there is a
little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty
to a struct pid pointer.

The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim
IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging
spew when the types clash.
Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out
the if clause that checks for mismatches. It'll then just do the right
thing and work sanely.
For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared
irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful). I've had a
variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the
mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused.

The order of locking between lockdep_off/on() and local_irq_save/restore() in
vprintk() should be changed.
* In kernel/printk.c :
vprintk() does :
preempt_disable()
local_irq_save()
lockdep_off()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
up(&console_sem)
lockdep_on()
local_irq_restore()
preempt_enable()
The goals here is to make sure we do not call printk() recursively from
kernel/lockdep.c:__lock_acquire() (called from spin_* and down/up) nor from
kernel/lockdep.c:trace_hardirqs_on/off() (called from local_irq_restore/save).
It can then potentially call printk() through mark_held_locks/mark_lock.
It correctly protects against the spin_lock call and the up/down call, but it
does not protect against local_irq_restore. It could cause infinite recursive
printk/trace_hardirqs_on() calls when printk() is called from the
mark_lock() error handing path.
We should change the locking so it becomes correct :
preempt_disable()
lockdep_off()
local_irq_save()
spin_lock(&logbuf_lock)
spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock)
if(!down_trylock(&console_sem))
up(&console_sem)
local_irq_restore()
lockdep_on()
preempt_enable()

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.
The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.
But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.
More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html
As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"
is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this
patch a no-change for them).

questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set.
For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the

completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST

As indicated in a recent thread on Linux-PM, it's necessary to call
pm_ops->finish() before devce_resume(), but enable_nonboot_cpus() has to be
called before pm_ops->finish() (cf.
http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html). For
consistency, it seems reasonable to call disable_nonboot_cpus() after
device_suspend().
This way the suspend code will remain symmetrical with respect to the resume
code and it may allow us to speed up things in the future by suspending and
resuming devices and/or saving the suspend image in many threads.
The following series of patches reorders the suspend and resume code so that
nonboot CPUs are disabled after devices have been suspended and enabled before
the devices are resumed. It also causes pm_ops->finish() to be called after
enable_nonboot_cpus() wherever necessary.
This patch:
Change the ordering of code in kernel/power/main.c so that device_suspend()
is called before disable_nonboot_cpus() and pm_ops->finish() is called after
enable_nonboot_cpus() and before device_resume(), as indicated by recent
discussion on Linux-PM
(cf. http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2006-November/004164.html).

Reading /proc/sys/kernel/cap-bound requires CAP_SYS_MODULE. (see
proc_dointvec_bset in kernel/sysctl.c)
sysctl appears to drive all over proc reading everything it can get it's
hands on and is complaining when it is being denied access to read
cap-bound. Clearly writing to cap-bound should be a sensitive operation
but requiring CAP_SYS_MODULE to read cap-bound seems a bit to strong. I
believe the information could with reasonable certainty be obtained by
looking at a bunch of the output of /proc/pid/status which has very low
security protection, so at best we are just getting a little obfuscation of
information.
Currently SELinux policy has to 'dontaudit' capability checks for
CAP_SYS_MODULE for things like sysctl which just want to read cap-bound.
In doing so we also as a byproduct have to hide warnings of potential
exploits such as if at some time that sysctl actually tried to load a
module. I wondered if anyone would have a problem opening cap-bound up to
read from anyone?

nr_free_pages is now a simple access to a global variable. Make it a macro
instead of a function.
The nr_free_pages now requires vmstat.h to be included. There is one
occurrence in power management where we need to add the include. Directly
refrer to global_page_state() there to clarify why the #include was added.

Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function. On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.
devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are
supported.
devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).
This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.
* alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()

Currently ARM and MIPS both have nearly identical copies of the APM
emulation code in their arch code. Add yet another copy of it to
drivers char and make it selectable through SYS_SUPPORTS_APM_EMULATION.

We need to be able to get from an irq number to a struct msi_desc.
The msi_desc array in msi.c had several short comings the big one was
that it could not be used outside of msi.c. Using irq_data in struct
irq_desc almost worked except on some architectures irq_data needs to
be used for something else.
So this patch adds a msi_desc pointer to irq_desc, adds the appropriate
wrappers and changes all of the msi code to use them.
The dynamic_irq_init/cleanup code was tweaked to ensure the new
field is left in a well defined state.
