[PATCH] gcc-4.1.0 is bust
Keith says
Compiling 2.6.19-rc6 with gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux), wait_hpet_tick is
optimized away to a never ending loop and the kernel hangs on boot in timer
setup.
The pl010 primecell documentation specifies that an error indicated via RSR
should be cleared by a write to ECR. We didn't do this, which was causing
errors to be re-reported on every call to pl010_rx_chars().
Doing a write to ECR once we detect an error appears to prevent the ep93xx
console UART driver from going into a mode where it reports "ttyAM0: X
input overrun(s)" every couple of keystrokes.

The real time clocks ds1742 and ds1743 differs only in the size of the
nvram. This patch changes the existing ds1742 driver to support also
ds1743. The main change is that the nvram size is determined from the

The patch have benefitted from suggestions from Atsushi Nemeto, who is the

[PATCH] softirq: remove BUG_ONs which can incorrectly trigger
It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.
In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.
Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

[PATCH] autofs: fix error code path in autofs_fill_sb()
When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel
correctly reports incompatible version of kernel and userland daemon, but
then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:
autofs: kernel does not match daemon version
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
automount/4199 is trying to release lock (&type->s_umount_key) at:
[<c0163b9e>] get_sb_nodev+0x76/0xa4
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
no locks held by automount/4199.
The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.
I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.

2. Select the line for receive and transmit interrupt handling correctly.

[PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() use
There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
#ifdefs.
the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:
[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernel
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its
instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some
processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and
thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer.
There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If
those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the
buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing.
However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this
patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also
introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency.
The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released
immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are
marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release
"dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if
there are no unused slots.

[PATCH] Fix the size limit of compat space msgsize
Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for
sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [
by copy_in_user]. This patch introduces helper routines for
sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below:
do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with
the msqid and msgflg.
do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to
the buffer. The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the
caller.
These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace (
thus removing the size limt ) and the overhead of an extra copy_in_user().

A driver for the PCEngines WRAP boards (http://www.pcengines.ch), which are
very similar to the Soekris net4801 (same NS SC1100 geode reference
design).
The LEDs on the WRAP are on different GPIO lines and I have modified and
copied the net48xx error led support for this. It also includes support
for an "extra" led (in addition to error). The three LEDs on the WRAP are
at GPIO lines 2,3,18 (WRAP LEDs from left to right). This driver gives
access to the second and third LEDs by twiddling GPIO lines 3 & 18.
Because these boards are so similar to the net48xx, I basically sed-ed that
driver to form the basis for leds-wrap.c. The only changes from
leds-net48xx.c are:
- #define WRAP_EXTRA_LED_GPIO
- name changes
- duplicate relevant sections to provide support for the "extra" led
- reverse the various *_led_set values. The WRAP is "backwards" from the
net48xx, and these needed to be updated for that.

[PATCH] HZ: 300Hz support
Fix two things. Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ". Secondly it is useful
to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work. 250 is fine for us in
Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants). 300 gives
us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60.
It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz.
I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess
disruption for now.
