6b7281d [SCSI] fc transport: add permanent_port_name fc_host attribute Add fc_host attribute permanent_port_name which is used to show the port name of the primary port - the port that initially logged into the fabric. For a virtual port (registered via the primary port with FDISC command) it is useful to know not only its (virtual) port name but also the permanent port name.

776b23a [SCSI] always handle REQ_BLOCK_PC requests in common code LLDDs should never see REQ_BLOCK_PC requests, we can handle them just fine in the core code. There is a small behaviour change in that some check in sr's rw_intr are bypassed, but I consider the old behaviour a bug. Mike found this cleanup opportunity and provdided early patches, so all the credit goes to him, even if I redid the patches from scratch beause that was easier than forward-porting the old patches.

d405423 [SCSI] sas: fix removal of devices behind expanders We need to iterate over all children when removing and expander, else stale objects will be around after host removal.

745caf7 [SCSI] Pass proper device from BusLogic to SCSI layer While trying to get SUSE's SLES9 working on system with more than 4GB we've noticed that SCSI layer happilly passes addresses over 4GB to the buslogic driver, which is quite a big problem as buslogic can generate only 32bit busmastering cycles. Fortunately in the current kernels this problem does not exist anymore as SCSI layer now assumes 4GB capable device by default, but it is still good idea to pass correct device structure to the SCSI layer. If nothing else, /sys/block/sda/device now points to /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/... instead of /sys/devices/platform/host0/... like it did in the past. Change does nothing for ISA based BusLogic adapters, they'll still end under platform (and they are probably broken for long time as I do not see anything forcing ISA 16MB limit for them).

983d5db [PATCH] x86_64: Fix SMP bootup with CONFIG_KDUMP enabled o This fix was posted for i386 long back. Posting it for x86_64. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110380103229830&w=2 o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and secondary cpus don't boot. o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit. o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32 instead of 16.

af5b980 [PATCH] x86_64: ioapic virtual wire mode fix o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode. o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts. o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero). This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a non-boot cpu.

1008fdd [PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots. Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected. This is very useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup. Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out. Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be able to use kexec now. In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0. There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true. And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is connected. Now counter i has been replaced by apic. counter i is having some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to IOAPIC. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

05b3cbd [PATCH] x86_64: Early initialization of cpu_to_node Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node. apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA. x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init. We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node. Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from correct node. Change since last release: Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases. Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA. Tested on EM64T NUMA. Also tested with numa=off, numa=fake, and running a kernel compiled with NUMA on a regular EM64 2 way SMP.

17a941d [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functions AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now. There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now. And various other changes and cleanups. Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks needs more testing. This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this patch: - introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU). - gets rid of: if (swiotlb) return swiotlb_xxx(); - PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

95833c8 [PATCH] x86_64: Add idle notifiers This adds a new notifier chain that is called with IDLE_START when a CPU goes idle and IDLE_END when it goes out of idle. The context can be idle thread or interrupt context. Since we cannot rely on MONITOR/MWAIT existing the idle end check currently has to be done in all interrupt handlers. They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation. They have a variety of applications: - They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ - They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time in idle when performance counters don't tick. - They can be used for better C state management in ACPI - They could be used for microstate accounting.

5a07a30 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Remove sub jiffy profile timer support Remove the finer control of local APIC timer. We cannot provide a sub-jiffy control like this when we use broadcast from external timer in place of local APIC. Instead of removing this only on systems that may end up using broadcast from external timer (due to C3), I am going the "I'm feeling lucky" way to remove this fully. Basically, I am not sure about usefulness of this code today. Few other architectures also don't seem to support this today. If you are using profiling and fine grained control and don't like this going away in normal case, yell at me right now.

01b8faa [PATCH] x86_64: Report hardware breakpoints in user space when triggered by the kernel I would like to throw out a suggestion for a possible change in the way that the debug register traps are handled in do_debug() when the trap occurs in kernel-mode. In the x86_64 version of do_debug(), the code will skip around sending a SIGTRAP to the current task if the trap occurred while in kernel mode. On the i386-side of things, if the access happens to occur in kernel mode (say during a read(2) of user's buffer that matches the address of a debug register trap), then the do_debug() routine for i386 will go ahead and call send_sigtrap() and send the SIGTRAP signal. The send_sigtrap() code will also set the info.si_addr to NULL in this case (even though I don't understand why, since the SIGTRAP siginfo processing doesn't use the si_addr field...). So I would like to suggest that the x86_64 do_debug() routine also follow this type of behavior and have it go ahead and send the SIGTRAP signal to the current task, even if the debug register trap happens to have occurred in kernel mode. I have taken a stab at a patch for this change below. (It includes the i386-ish change for setting si_addr to NULL when the trap occurred in kernel mode.) It seems like a useful feature to be able to 'watch' a user location that might also be modified in the kernel via a system service call, and have the debugger report that information back to the user, rather than to just silently ignore the trap. Additionally, I realize that users that pull in a kernel debugger such as KGDB into their kernel might want to remove this change below when they add in KGDB support. However, they could alternatively look at the current task's thread.debugreg[] values to see if the trap occurred due to KGDB or instead because of a user-space debugger trap, and still honor the user SIGTRAP processing (instead of the KGDB breakpoint processing) if the trap matches up with the thread.debugreg[] registers.

79c62cf [PATCH] x86_64: Make udelay more accurate The attempt to avoid overflow in __delay caused varying precision on different CPUs depending on differences in the CPU speed. We should be able to do this multiplication with out overflowing provided the cpu is running at less than about 128 GHz. xloops < 20000 * 0x10c6. loops_per_jiffy * HZ <= cpu_clock_speed. So if the cpu clock speed < 2^64/(20000 * 0x10c6) = 2^64/ 51E6CC0 < 2^64/2^27 = 2^37 = 128G we will not overflow the calculation.
