[PATCH] oprofile: fix P4 HT msr sharing
From: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr>
When I debugged P4 ht oprofile a few month ago I noticed that but though it
wasn't a problem... The fix I propose is not completely clean.
With P4 HT we split msr in two subset, one for each logical processor. The
msrs subset used in op_model_p4.c at save and setup point of view are
distinct (*), it means we must serialize setup and save operation else a
logical processor can save some msr value already setup by the other thread
then when oprofile shutdown we restore wrong msrs values.
Nobody noticed the problem because after restoring the msrs we call
enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog() -> setup_p4_watchdog() wich clear all the msrs
but it's a bit fragile. If nmi watchdog is not enabled nothing bad occurs
because the LVTPC remains disabled.
(*) this is done in this way because it allows a lot of simplification in
op_model_p4.c, yes it isn't clean but it's not fixable w/o rewriting 75% of
op_model_p4.c and I think the code will be bigger and more complex.

[PATCH] convert pdflush to kthread
From: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com>
New pdflush threads are launched on-demand by pdflush.
It turns out that on some architectures (eg, ia64) a kernel thread inherits
its parent's stack utilisation. So after the thread-launches-a-thread
cycle has progressed sufficiently far we run out of stack space and crash.
Simple fix: convert pdflush to use kthreads. All kthreads are parented by
keventd so there is no stack windup as a result of pdflush launching
pdflush.

[PATCH] x86-64 fixes for 2.6.4rc1
From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Fix a few issues on x86-64 for 2.6.4rc1.
The 32bit emulation used 4GB/3 for the mmap break. This actually gave
programs less sbrk space than with a standard 32bit kernel. Move the 32bit
mmap break to 0xc5000000.
Uses the correct gcc option to optimize for Prescott now (requires a very
new mainline gcc)
Also merge the i386 sched_clock(). I hope this will fix some interactivity
problems with the scheduler.
- Change initializer to new style (Arnd Bergmann)
- Remove 2 sibling limit in HT support (from i386)
- Always log RIP in MCE records even when not exact
- Move 32bit program task break up to 0xc5000000 by default
- Use -march=prescott for Prescott optimized kernel if possible
- Don't divide by zero with report_lost_ticks on and HPET off
- Merge preempt/smp/debug_pagealloc oops printing from i386
- Add pfn_to_nid()
- Merge more accurate sched_clock from i386
- Remove traces of debugging code in mce.c
- Update defconfig

[PATCH] Make powernow-k8 cpufreq control work again

I do not have explanation why it is 2MHz - 2MHz. On my system I removed
bug which prevented my system from being reported as 0.8MHz - 1.8MHz. (And
modulo cosmetic uglyness, it worked).
This fixes cosmetic uglyness, adds proper copyrights, removes warning

[PATCH] sys_alarm() return value fix
From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de>
when calling

It happens due to rounding errors in the timeval to jiffie conversion and
back. On i386 with HZ =3D=3D 1000, there would not need to be rounding
error IMVHO, but they even occur there. On HZ=3D1024 platforms, they may
even be unavoidable.

[PATCH] fix umount dataloss problem
address_spaces have a `dirtied_when' jiffies field which records the time at
which the mapping was first dirtied. This is used for the periodic writeback
(kupdate) function. It is also used to prevent livelocks in the writeback
code: don't try to write back objects which were dirtied after
sync_sb_inodes() was called.
It used to be the case that dirtied_when == 0 had magical properties, so
there is code in there which avoids accidentally setting dirtied_when to zero
at jiffy wrap time. We just set it to jiffies|1.
Unfortunately, jiffies|1 is in the future. So under some rare timing
circumstances (inode dirtied within one jiffy of umount) the livelock
avoidance code in sync_sb_inodes() can accidentally trigger and we fail to
write an inode out, resulting in filesytem corruption on ext2-style
filesystems. Normally, nobody dirties a file within a millisecond of umount,
so it was not noticed.
It is no longer the case that (address_space.dirtied_when == 0) has special
meaning, so we can just remove all that code and fix the bug.

This patch seems to have been forgotten about, so here it is again,
this time against 2.6.4-rc1. This really needs to be send upstream,
though I don't know where we got to with this one. Maybe we should
put it in akpm's tree for a while?
It's essentially more of the "don't deadlock if you pull out a
PCMCIA network card and it's currently configured up" patch which
went in recently for PCMCIA NIC cards.

Pawel> not oops but it doesn't work (neither as module nor as build in kernel).
Note that hp100 in 2.6.4-rc1 is still broken wrt EISA probing, since
it lacks the terminating entry in the EISA ID list. This one-liner
should take care of random crashes that are often reported to LKML :

[PATCH] fix CDROM_SEND_PACKET 32 -> 64-bit translation
Here's a much better version. The real bug was of course that the
get_user/put_user for data_direction were transposed.
This patch also fixes the translation of "quiet" and "timeout" to be
safer and clearer (instead of memcpying them as two ints and knowing
that "quiet" is first and assuming that "compat_int_t" is always the
same as the native "int", the code now handles them explicitly).
We should use "access_ok()" and __get_user/__put_user to generate better
code for this, but it's not performance-critical, so we don't care.
Some other day, perhaps.

[BR_NETFILTER]: Fix vlan-encapsulated fragmented IP traffic.
When vlan-tagged fragmented IP traffic passes the bridging firewall and
ip_conntrack is loaded and iptables sees this IP traffic, an oops can
occur when trying to fragment the defragmented packets. This only
happens in the slow_path of ip_fragment().
The problem was reported, diagnosed and fixed by Adam Osuchowski and
Tomasz Dubinski.
When ip_fragment() is fragmenting an IP packet that's encapsulated, it has
to make sure there is enough head room for the encapsulating header.
The patch below fixes it. I saw no other way than to add some code to
ip_fragment(), but this extra code is located in the slow_path so it's
hardly ever executed.

[PATCH] ia64: greatly speed-up I/O-SAPIC irq_enable()/irq_disable()
This patch changes the I/O SAPIC code to cache the low 32 bits of the mask
word in kernel memory. This greatly speeds up mask_irq() and unmask_irq().
Normally, these operations are not on the speed-critical path of the
kernel but with certain devices drivers (including users-level device-
drivers) they can become performance-critical.

ia64: Fix IDE block-layer BUG_ON() reported by Darren Williams.
The problem was that IDE-disks on machines with IDE harddisks,
memory above 4GB and no hardware I/O TLB would go BUG_ON() in
blk_queue_bounce_limit() because the IDE-controller could only
address 4GB of memory and that was much less than BLK_BOUNCE_ISA
(which is equal to ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD). Note that the problem does
NOT trigger with CD-ROMs, which always uses the software I/O TLB
(and hence bounce-buffers) on such machines.
The best fix seems to be to simply lower ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to 4GB-1 since
that will ensure that the IDE block layer allocates memory with GFP_DMA,
which will minimize bounce buffering.

[PATCH] ppc64: Add iommu=on for enabling DART on small-mem machines
This makes it possible for people like me with a small-mem G5 to enable

myself).
2. To debug drivers on small-mem machines, since bad pci_map*() usage will
be punished (possibly larger audience).
