Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Eric W. Biederman e3c6449dcd [PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/sh64/kernel/traps.c and remove ABI breakage
While doing the C99 conversion I notices that the top level sh64 directory was
using the binary number for CTL_KERN.  That is a no-no so I removed the
support for the sysctl binary interface only leaving sysctl /proc support.

At least the sysctl tables were placed at the end of the list so user space
did not see this mistake.

Arnd Bergmann 821278a75d [PATCH] sh64: remove the use of kernel syscalls
sh64 is using system call macros to call some functions from the kernel.

The old debug code can simply be removed, since we don't really have that much
of a need for it anymore, it was mostly something that was handy during the
initial bringup.  This also brings us closer to something that looks like
readable code again..

I also added a sane kernel_thread() implementation that gets away from this,
so that should take care of sh64 at least.

Arnd Bergmann fe74290d51 [PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures
This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
_syscall3() to implement execve.

The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
unistd.h header file.  I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.

Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
it for now.

Atsushi Nemoto 8ef386092d [PATCH] kill wall_jiffies
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1".  This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

Atsushi Nemoto 3171a0305d [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c66 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

Ingo Molnar d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 76b67ed9dc [PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node struct
With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime.  I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add.  But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu().  When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument.  But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch).  We can get struct node in generic way.  So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined.  It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs.  cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument.  This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

Laurent MEYER d09042da72 [PATCH] fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes
- When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
  SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
  the kernel still try to install the alternate stack.  This behavior is
  the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix Specifications
  V3.

- Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the flag
  SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on signal
  delivery.

These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.

Kyle McMartin 894b5779ce [PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementations
While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c.  Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures.  The justification was that "other arches do it."

I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves.  Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
 They're all virtually identical.  This patch consolidates all of them.

One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file.  To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.

Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done.  This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.

Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

Andrew Morton 394e3902c5 [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions
When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().

This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Nick Piggin 64c7c8f885 [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.

* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
  and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
  atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
  when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
  protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.

- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
  won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.

- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.

- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
  after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.

Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.

* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
  becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
  (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.

- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
  to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
  assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
  held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
  to the idle thread.

- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
  most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
  set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
  a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.

  Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
  can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
  the idle task.

  POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Nick Piggin 5bfb5d690f [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks
Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as

Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them.
They continue to keep their implementations.  For sh64 I had to add a

Steven Rostedt 69be8f1896 [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.
