2008-06-12x86: touch_nmi_watchdog(): reset alert counters for supported nmi_watchdog ↵Cyrill Gorcunov
modes only The checking 'if nmi_watchdog > 0' (ie NMI_NONE) is quite fast but it has a side effect - it's taken even if nmi_watchdog = NMI_DISABLED. Nowadays nmi_watchdog is set up to NMI_NONE by default so this condition is properly taken most the time but we better show this explicitly.

2008-06-05x86: watchdog - check for CPU is being supportedCyrill Gorcunov
This patch does check if CPU is being recongnized before call the unreserve(). Since enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog() does have such a check the same is make sense here too in a sake of code consistency (but nothing more).

2008-06-05x86: nmi - consolidate nmi_watchdog_default for 32bit modeCyrill Gorcunov

2008-05-11Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper functionLinus Torvalds
It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set. Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit 02b67cc3ba36bdba351d6c3a00593f4ec550d9d3 "sched: do not do cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT"). But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL equivalent of that. Also make fs/locks.c use it.

2008-05-11i2c: Match dummy devices by typeJean Delvare
As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme. This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

If the driver doesn't delay long enough, it may appear that the transaction is complete when actually it hasn't started, this may lead to bus collisions.

2008-05-11sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.David S. Miller
So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the debugger need not be mindful of such things. Problem is, this doesn't work. The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so that the debugger captures that state. Otherwise, if the debugger for example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state. The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have. In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb which is being debugged by yet another gdb. gdb uses sigsuspend to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop(). The top-level gdb does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the signal. But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return error was ERESTARTNOHAND. Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly: 1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}. It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets. 2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart. We have to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop(). 3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set that bit in the real register. As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just like sparc64 has. M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the ptrace_signal_deliver hook. It needs to be fixed in the same exact way as sparc. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-05-11sparc: Fix ptrace() detach.David S. Miller
Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally recognized, regardless of the personality of the process. Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH. So continue to recognize this old value. Luckily, it doesn't conflict with anything we actually care about. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-05-10BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementationLinus Torvalds
The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7 (and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a mess of scheduling. The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert "semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that never had any issues like this. This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore hack which still left a couple percentage point regression. As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the plan for several years. These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in particular) and Alan holds out some hope: "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked." so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

2008-05-10Revert "semaphore: fix"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit bf726eab3711cf192405d21688a4b21e07b6188a, as it has been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(), apparently because some missing wakeup. Quoth Sven Wegener: "I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e "semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue. Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for the output of sysrq-w." See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45 for full report. In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead, since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it tries to be fair.

This worked fine before 709f744, and it works fine with 709f744 reverted on top of Linus' current tree (f74d505). The revert had conflicts, as far as I can tell due to white space changes. The diff I ended up with is below. It is 100% reproducible. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-10x86: restrict keyboard io ports reservation to make ipmi driver workHelge Wagner
On some of our (single board computer) boards (x86) we are using an IPMI controller that uses I/O ports 0x62 and 0x66 for a KCS (keyboard controller style) IPMI system interface. Trying to load the openipmi driver fails, because the ports (0x62/0x66) are reserved for keyboard. keyboard reserves the full range 0x60-0x6F while it doesn't need to. Reserve only ports 0x60 and 0x64 for the legacy PS/2 i8042 keyboad controller instead of 0x60-0x6F to allow the openipmi driver to work.

2008-05-10x86: fix fpu restore from sig returnSuresh Siddha
If the task never used fpu, initialize the fpu before restoring the FP state from the signal handler context. This will allocate the fpu state, if the task never needed it before.
