| 0910b44 | Linus Torvalds | 13 December 2005, 19:39:05 UTC | Expose "Optimize for size" option for everybody Let's put my money where my mouth is. Smaller code is almost always faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles to make up for. And system software - kernels in particular - are known for taking more cache misses than most other kinds. On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

| 39942fd | Knut Petersen | 13 December 2005, 06:17:19 UTC | [PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked only on the 270. Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable. I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places.

Quoth James Bottomley: "All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method. In both cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed (wrongly) was valid from atomic context." who also promised to fix scsi_reap_target().

For the case of kdump on PPC64 (Power 4 machine), the captured kernel is used two memory regions - memory for TCE tables (tce-base and tce-size at top of RAM and reserved) and captured kernel memory region (crashk_base and crashk_size). Since we reserve the memory for the first node, we should be returning from __alloc_bootmem_core() to search for the next node (pg_dat). Currently, find_next_zero_bit() is returning the n^th bit (eidx) when there is no free page. Then, test_bit() is failed since we set 0xff only for the actual size initially (init_bootmem_core()) even though rounded up to one page for bdata->node_bootmem_map. We are hitting the BUG_ON after failing to enter second "for" loop.

Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using 'cp'. cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then exits. However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour: llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0) = 17 llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of range) I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok :) This change solves the problem.

| 1ee9530 | Lothar Wassmann | 12 December 2005, 16:44:05 UTC | [ARM] 3201/1: PXA27x: Prevent hangup during resume due to inadvertedly enabling MBREQ (replaces: 3198/1) Patch from Lothar Wassmann The patch makes sure, that the ouptut functions of pins are restored before restoring the Alternat Function settings, preventing pins from being intermediately configured for undefined or unwanted alternate functions. Here is the original comment: I've got a PXA270 system that uses GPIO80 as nCS4. This system did hang on resume. Digging into the problem I found that the processor stalled immediately when restoring the GAFR2_U register which restored the alternate function for GPIO80. Since the GPDR registers were restored after the GAFR registers, the offending GPIO was configured as input at this point. Thus the alternate function that was in effect after restoring the GAFR was in fact the input function "MBREQ" instead of the output function "nCS4". The "PXA27x Processor Family Developer's Manual" (Footnote in Table 6-1 on page 6-3) states that: "The MBREQ alternate function must not be enabled until the PSSR[RDH] bit field is cleared. For more details, see Table 3-15, "PSSR Bit Definitions" on page 3-71." There is another note in the Developer's Manual (chapter 24.4.2 "GPIO operation as Alternate Function" on page 24-4) stating that: "Configuring a GPIO for an alternate function that is not defined for it causes unpredictable results." Since some GPIOs have no input function defined, and to prevent inadvertedly programming the MBREQ function on some pin, the GAFR registers should be restored after the GPDR registers have been restored. Additional provisions have to be made when the MBREQ function is actually required. The corresponding GAFR bits should not be restored with the regular GAFR restore, but must be set only after the PSSR bits have been cleared.

Thus checking just VM_SHARED isn't actually sufficient. So use a trivial helper function for the cases where we wanted to inquire if a mapping was COW-like or not. Moo!

| 22f975f | Nikola Valerjev | 10 December 2005, 11:59:15 UTC | [ARM] 3200/1: Singlestep over ARM BX and BLX instructions using ptrace fix Patch from Nikola Valerjev Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX. Steps to reproduce: Compile and link the following files main.c ----- void foo(); int main() { foo(); return 0; } foo.s ----- .text .globl foo foo: BX LR Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping. Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back to main, but run the code to completion. This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode. Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

There was a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error, copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.
