ieee1394: node manager causes up to ~3.25s delay in freezing tasks
The firewire nodemanager function "nodemgr_host_thread" contains a loop
that calls try_to_freeze near the top of the loop, but then delays for
up to 3.25 seconds (plus time to do work) before getting back to the top
of the loop. When starting a cycle post-boot, this doesn't seem to bite,
but it is causing a noticeable delay at boot time, when freezing
processes prior to starting to read the image.
The following patch adds invocation of try_to_freeze to the subloops
that are used in the body of this function. With these additions, the
time to freeze when starting to resume at boot time is virtually zero.
I'm no expert on firewire, and so don't know that we shouldn't check
the return value and jump back to the top of the loop or such like after
being frozen, but I submit it for your consideration.
Signed-off-by: Nigel Cunningham <nigel@tuxonice.net>
The delay until nodemgr freezes was up to 0.25s (plus time for node
probes) in Linux 2.6.27 and older and up to 3.25s (plus ~) since Linux
2.6.28-rc1, hence much more noticeable.
try_to_freeze() without any jump is correct. The surrounding code in
the respective loops will catch whether another bus reset happens during
the freeze and handle it.

Commit 8ec53663d2698076468b3e1edc4e1b418bd54de3 ("[ARM] Improve
non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable
stack binaries. One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support
the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary
that needs an executable stack.
This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll
end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into
the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or
heap or both, causing many interesting crashes.
Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead
of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.

When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree
quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory
tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes

tcp: tcp_vegas ssthresh bug fix
This patch fixes a bug in tcp_vegas.c. At the moment this code leaves
ssthresh untouched. However, this means that the vegas congestion
control algorithm is effectively unable to reduce cwnd below the
ssthresh value (if the vegas update lowers the cwnd below ssthresh,
then slow start is activated to raise it back up). One example where
this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link
capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value
above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them
Impact: fix time warp bug
Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time
inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that
the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going
negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have
the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in
update_wall_time():
1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we
incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec.
(This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it
to be small).
2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then
cycle_interval.
3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a
corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier
being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be
subtracted from xtime_nsec.
This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow.
Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow()
whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error
accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the
accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after
the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior.
This leaves us with (at least) two options:
1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we
notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative.
This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed
(due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an
ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may
always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part.
2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its
negative to both xtime_nsec and the error.
This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding
issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in
the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction
being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of
control is lessened.

tcp: make urg+gso work for real this time
I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution
to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig
patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet
counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount
of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would
restore the window again.
Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is
urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code
from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could
be that something was changed down the road, or it might have
been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once
urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from
~64k before the urg point.
The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so
only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have
a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check
can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc
already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

The oops happens on reading /proc/capi/controllers because

b1isa_exit() did not call b1isa_remove() for its controllers because
io[0] == 0 on module unload despite having been 0x340 on module load.
Besides, just removing the controllers that where added on module
load time and not those that were added later via b1isa_add_card() is

This patch fixes some bugs in VIS emulation that cause the GCC test

FAIL: gcc.target/sparc/pdist-3.c execution test
for both 32-bit and 64-bit testing on hardware lacking these
instructions. The emulation code for the pdist instruction uses
RS1(insn) for both source registers rs1 and rs2, which is obviously
wrong and leads to the instruction doing nothing (the observed
problem), and further inspection of the code shows that RS1 uses a
shift of 24 and RD a shift of 25, which clearly cannot both be right;
examining SPARC documentation indicates the correct shift for RS1 is
14.

standalone. For that, Wind River has another patch I hope they will
