RDMA/nes: Fix up nes_lro_max_aggr module parameter
Fix some bugs with the max_aggr module parameter added with LRO support:
- The module parameter value ignored and not actually used to set
lro_mgr.max_aggr.
- MODULE_PARM_DESC had a typo "_mro_" instead of "_lro_" so it didn't
end up describing the actual module parameter.
- The nes_lro_max_aggr variable was declared as unsigned, but the
module_param line said "int" instead of "uint" for the type.
- The default value for the parameter was stuck in the permissions
field of module_param, which led to nonsensical permissions for the
file under /sys/module/iw_nes/param.
- The parameter was used in only one file but defined in another, which
led to the variable being global for no good reason. Move everything

used.

Make 'cond_resched()' nullification depend on PREEMPT_BKL
Because it's not correct with a non-preemptable BKL and just causes
PREEMPT kernels to have longer latencies than non-PREEMPT ones (which is
obviously not the point of it at all).
Of course, that config option actually got removed as an option earlier,
so for now this basically disables it entirely, but if BKL preemption is
ever resurrected it will be a meaningful optimization. And in the

3) if kthread_stop is called on it
The first two are problems. If kthread_stop is called on the thread,

One option would be to not even try to tear things down until after
kthread_stop is called. However, in the case where there is a problem
setting up the session, there's no real reason to try continuing the

This patch allows the thread to clean up and prepare for exit under all

is called. This allows us to simplify the shutdown code somewhat since
we can be reasonably sure that the thread won't exit after being

sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.
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.

BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation
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."

Revert "semaphore: fix"
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.

Move ACCESS_ONCE() to <linux/compiler.h>
It actually makes much more sense there, and we do tend to need it for
non-RCU usage too. Moving it to <linux/compiler.h> will allow some
other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper
function that RCU has used.
x86: sysfs cpu?/topology is empty in 2.6.25 (32-bit Intel system)
System topology on intel based system needs to be exported
for non-numa case as well.
All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under
#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on
ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket
dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system.
CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant
and useful.
irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the
cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the
sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel.
I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES
for non-numa systems.
This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket
system.
709f744 causes my computer to freeze during the start up of X and my
login manger (GDM). It gets to the point where it has shown the default
X mouse cursor logo (a big X / cross) and does not respond to anything
from that point on.
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.

x86: restrict keyboard io ports reservation to make ipmi driver work
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.

[ARM] 5033/1: Unbreak corgi_ssp by registering ssp drivers earlier.
A lot of stuff in spitz/akita/etc. depends on corgi_ssp to be initialised
early. However corgi_ssp initialisation fails, because at that time pxa*-ssp
devices don't have drivers. Move ssp earlier in the makefile so they are
registered before corgi-ssp.
Also move sleep/suspend and cpu-freq to more logical places

module: don't ignore vermagic string if module doesn't have modversions
Linus found a logic bug: we ignore the version number in a module's
vermagic string if we have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but modversions
also lets through a module with no __versions section for modprobe
--force (with tainting, but still).
We should only ignore the start of the vermagic string if the module
actually *has* crcs to check. Rather than (say) having an
entertaining hissy fit and creating a config option to work around the
buggy code.

module: put modversions in vermagic
Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted
into a kernel which expects modversions.
modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it
won't be effected, but this will make sure that a
non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.
