Hirokazu Takata [Wed, 19 Apr 2006 05:21:20 +0000 (22:21 -0700)]
[PATCH] m32r: Fix pt_regs for !COFNIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2 target

This modification is required to fix debugging function for m32r targets
with !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2, by unifying 'struct pt_regs' and 'struct
sigcontext' size for all M32R ISA.

Some m32r processor core with !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2 configuration has only
single accumulator a0 (ex.  VDEC2 core, M32102 core, etc.), the others with
CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2 has two accumulators, a0 and a1.

This means there are two variations of thread context.  So far, we reduced
and changed stackframe size at a syscall for their context size.  However,
this causes a problem that a GDB for processors with CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2
cannot be used for processors with !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2.

From the viewpoint of GDB support, we should reduce such variation of
stackframe size for simplicity.

In this patch, dummy members are added to 'struct pt_regs' and 'struct
sigcontext' to adjust their size for !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2.

This modification is also a one step for a GDB update in future.
Currently, on the m32r, GDB can access process's context by using ptrace
functions in a simple way of register by register access.  By unifying
stackframe size, we have a possibility to make use of ptrace functions of
not only a single register access but also block register access,
PTRACE_{GETREGS,PUTREGS}.

However, for this purpose, we might have to modify stackframe structure
some more; for example, PSW (processor status word) register should be
pre-processed before pushing to stack at a syscall, and so on.  In this
case, we must update carefully both kernel and GDB at a time...

[PATCH] task: Make task list manipulations RCU safe

While we can currently walk through thread groups, process groups, and
sessions with just the rcu_read_lock, this opens the door to walking the
entire task list.

We already have all of the other RCU guarantees so there is no cost in
doing this, this should be enough so that proc can stop taking the
tasklist lock during readdir.

prev_task was killed because it has no users, and using it will miss new
tasks when doing an rcu traversal.

[PATCH] uml: make 64-bit COW files compatible with 32-bit ones

This is the minimal fix to make 64-bit UML binaries create 32-bit
compatible COW files and read them.

I've indeed tested that current code doesn't do this - the code gets
SIGFPE for a division by a value read at the wrong place, where 0 is

Herbert Xu [Tue, 18 Apr 2006 20:24:14 +0000 (13:24 -0700)]
[TCP]: Fix truesize underflow

There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code.  The cause of
this lies in the tcp_fragment() function.

When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the
truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero.  This means that
truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length.

When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become
negative.  This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE
which would trigger the warning.

I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.

18 years ago[CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs scaling_governor...
Thomas Renninger [Thu, 13 Apr 2006 13:14:04 +0000 (15:14 +0200)]
[CPUFREQ] If max_freq got reduced (e.g. by _PPC) a write to sysfs scaling_governor let cpufreq core stuck at low max_freq for ever

The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount).

This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports.
But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when
AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to
/sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor
while the frequencies got limited by BIOS.

This one works:

Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access

The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS):
 - Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited
 - echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max
   gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.)

This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and
duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max.
The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and
you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get
stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again.
Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency
to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...)
