Eric W. Biederman 7a44d37d8c [PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert ctl_tables in arch/x86_64/kernel/vsyscall.c
Basically everything was done but I removed all element initializers from the
trailing entries to make it clear the entire last entry should be zero filled.

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.

Eric W. Biederman 8d8cb8a1bb [PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/mips/lasat/sysctl.c and remove ABI breakage
While C99 converting the ctl_table initializers I realized that the binary
sysctl numbers were in conflict with the binary values under CTL_KERN.
Including CTL_KERN KERN_VERSION as used by glibc.  So I just removed the
sysctl binary interface for these values, as it was unsupportable.

Luckily these sysctl were inserted at the end of the sysctl list so this bug
was not visible to userspace.

The assignment of binary numbers for sys_sysctl use was in shambles and

So this patch gives a mercy killing to the sys_sysctl support for

Eric W. Biederman 4e00990118 [PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakage
This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers.  While I was
looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary
addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate.
 So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid
the ABI conflict.

Eric W. Biederman 79eec3d3d9 [PATCH] sysctl: sn: remove sysctl ABI BREAKAGE
By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN
platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only
because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't
break glibc.

This is totally irresponsible.  So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl
support from their sysctl code.  Hopefully they don't have ascii name
conflicts as well.

And now that they have no ABI numbers add them to the end instead of the
sysctl list instead of the head so nothing else will be overridden.

David Gibson 719c91ccad [POWERPC] Use udbg_early_init() on ppc32
udbg_early_init() is a function used on 64 bit systems, which
initializes whichever early udbg backend is configured.  This function
is not called on 32-bit, however if btext early debug is enabled it
does have an explicit, inline, #ifdef-ed assignment performing
analagous initialization.

This patch makes things more uniform by folding the btext
initialization as an option into udbg_early_init() and calling that
from the 32-bit setup path.

Arnd Bergmann 8d38a5b2fa [POWERPC] Open Firmware serial port driver
This can be used for serial ports that are connected to an
OF platform bus but are not autodetected by the lecacy
serial support.
It will automatically take over devices that come from the
legacy serial detection, which usually is only one device.

In some cases, rtas may be set up to use the serial port
in the firmware, which allows easier debugging before probing
the serial ports. In this case, the "used-by-rtas" property
must be set by the firmware. This patch also adds code to the
legacy serial driver to check for this.

performance counters when counting PPU CYCLES.  Setting up the debug bus

only setup the debug bus to route the performance signals for the non

Masato Noguchi 128b8546a8 [POWERPC] spufs: avoid accessing kernel memory through mmapped /mem node
I found an exploit in current kernel.
Currently, there is no range check about mmapping "/mem" node in
spufs. Thus, an application can access privilege memory region.

In case this kernel already worked on a public server, I send this
information only here.
If there are such servers in somewhere, please replace it, ASAP.

Christoph Hellwig 2eb1b12049 [POWERPC] spu sched: static timeslicing for SCHED_RR contexts
For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing.  Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it.  Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.

A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available.  To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.

Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair.  SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

Christoph Hellwig 52f04fcf66 [POWERPC] spu sched: forced preemption at execution
If we start a spu context with realtime priority we want it to run
immediately and not wait until some other lower priority thread has
finished.  Try to find a suitable victim and use it's spu in this
case.

Christoph Hellwig ae7b4c5284 [POWERPC] spu sched: update some comments
Give spu_yield a kerneldoc comment and remove the old comment
documenting spu_activate, spu_deactive and spu_yield as all of them
now have descriptive kerneldoc comments of their own.
