RLIMIT_RTPRIO is supposed to grant non privileged users the right to use
SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR scheduling policies with priorites bounded by the
RLIMIT_RTPRIO value via sched_setscheduler(). This is usually used by
audio users.
Unfortunately this is broken in 2.6.13rc3 as you can see in the excerpt
from sched_setscheduler below:
/*
* Allow unprivileged RT tasks to decrease priority:
*/
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_NICE)) {
/* can't change policy */
if (policy != p->policy)
return -EPERM;
After the above unconditional test which causes sched_setscheduler to
fail with no regard to the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value the following check is made:
Thus I do believe that the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value must be taken into
account for the policy check, especially as the RLIMIT_RTPRIO limit is
of no use without this change.
[PATCH] acpi: Don't call acpi_sleep_prepare from acpi_power_off
Now that all of the code paths that call acpi_power_off
have been modified to call either call kernel_power_off
(which calls apci_sleep_prepare by way of acpi_shutdown)
or to call acpi_sleep_prepare directly it is redundant to call
acpi_sleep_prepare from acpi_power_off.
So simplify the code and simply don't call acpi_sleep_prepare.
In addition there is a little error handling done so if we
can't register the acpi class we don't hook pm_power_off.
I think I have done the right thing with the CONFIG_PM define
but I'm not certain. Can this code even be compiled if
CONFIG_PM is false?

[PATCH] acpi_power_off: Don't switch to the boot cpu
machine_power_off on i386 and x86_64 now switch to the
boot cpu out of paranoia and because the MP Specification indicates it
is a good idea on reboot, so for those architectures it is a noop.
I can't see anything in the acpi spec that requires you to be on
the boot cpu to power off the system, so this should not be an issue
for ia64. In addition ia64 has the altix a massive multi-node
system where switching to the boot cpu sounds insane as we may
hot removed the boot cpu.

i386 machine_power_off was disabling the local apic
and all of it's users wanted to be on the boot cpu.
So call machine_shutdown which places us on the boot
cpu and disables the apics. This keeps us in sync
and reduces the number of cases we need to worry about in
the power management code.

Call machine_shutdown() to move to the boot cpu
and disable apics. Both acpi_power_off and
apm_power_off want to move to the boot cpu.
and we are already disabling the local apics
so calling machine_shutdown simply reuses
code.
ia64 doesn't have a special path in power_off
for efi so there is no reason i386 should. If
we really need to call the efi power off path
the efi driver can set pm_power_off like everyone
else.

[PATCH] Don't export machine_restart, machine_halt, or machine_power_off.
machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with. Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly
kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances
the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working
very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler.
This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that
callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling
restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable
from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more
trying circumstances.
This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures.

Remove "noreplacement" kernel command line option.
It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on
different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities.
If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the
boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you
need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across
all CPU's.
For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system
do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable
instruction replacement per se.
x86: use alternative instructions for fnsave/fxsave too
This one ends up using an inline asm format that claims to read memory
and then clobber it (rather than just write it directly), which made it
easier to use the existing "alternative_input()" infrastructure support.
x86: make restore_fpu() use alternative assembler instructions
It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
function that queries FXSR dynamically.
This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
correct one at boot-time.
The portptr pointing to the port in the conntrack tuple is declared static,
which could result in memory corruption when two packets of the same
protocol are NATed at the same time and one conntrack goes away.

Fix up incorrect "unlikely()" on %gs reload in x86 __switch_to
These days %gs is normally the TLS segment, so it's no longer zero. As
a result, we shouldn't just assume that %fs/%gs tend to be zero
together, but test them independently instead.
Also, fix setting of debug registers to use the "next" pointer instead
of "current". It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new
current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an
implementation detail.
