[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2)

There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach.

- First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always
  be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now.  Due to this,
  the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which
  are completely stupid.

- Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight
  has been turned off.  Reading the value back during unblank will disable the
  LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since
  we set it to zero beforehand.

So this is what we do now:

- create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine
  whether to read back registers (initialized to true)

- before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any
  possible change made through Fn key combo

- use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something

- every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking
  disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it

This should give us a nice and clean state machine.  Has been thoroughly
tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached
CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off.  I changed the config via
Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly.

[NETFILTER]: Fix xfrm lookup after SNAT

To find out if a packet needs to be handled by IPsec after SNAT, packets
are currently rerouted in POST_ROUTING and a new xfrm lookup is done. This
breaks SNAT of non-unicast packets to non-local addresses because the
packet is routed as incoming packet and no neighbour entry is bound to the
dst_entry. In general, it seems to be a bad idea to replace the dst_entry
after the packet was already sent to the output routine because its state
might not match what's expected.

This patch changes the xfrm lookup in POST_ROUTING to re-use the original
dst_entry without routing the packet again. This means no policy routing
can be used for transport mode transforms (which keep the original route)
when packets are SNATed to match the policy, but it looks like the best

Fix issues with the NeoMagic framebuffer driver.

thing missing now is that the external CRT will not be activated at neofb
init when external-only is selected, either by register read or
module/kernel parameter.

Testing was done on a Dell Latitude CPi-A/NM2200 chip.

Previous behaviour:
- before booting linux, set the preferred display config X via FN+F8

- boot linux, neofb stores the register values in a private
  variable

- change the display config to Y via keystroke

- leave the machine in peace until display is blanked

- touching any key will result in display config X being restored

- booting up, the BIOS will acknowledge config Y, though...

Current behaviour:
At the time of unblanking, config Y is honoured because we now read back
register contents instead of just overwriting them with outdated values.

David Howells [Tue, 14 Feb 2006 21:53:20 +0000 (13:53 -0800)]
[PATCH] FRV: Use virtual interrupt disablement

Make the FRV arch use virtual interrupt disablement because accesses to the
processor status register (PSR) are relatively slow and because we will
soon have the need to deal with multiple interrupt controls at the same
time (separate h/w and inter-core interrupts).

The way this is done is to dedicate one of the four integer condition code
registers (ICC2) to maintaining a virtual interrupt disablement state
whilst inside the kernel.  This uses the ICC2.Z flag (Zero) to indicate
whether the interrupts are virtually disabled and the ICC2.C flag (Carry)
to indicate whether the interrupts are physically disabled.

ICC2.Z is set to indicate interrupts are virtually disabled.  ICC2.C is set
to indicate interrupts are physically enabled.  Under normal running
conditions Z==0 and C==1.

Disabling interrupts with local_irq_disable() doesn't then actually
physically disable interrupts - it merely sets ICC2.Z to 1.  Should an
interrupt then happen, the exception prologue will note ICC2.Z is set and
branch out of line using one instruction (an unlikely BEQ).  Here it will
physically disable interrupts and clear ICC2.C.

When it comes time to enable interrupts (local_irq_enable()), this simply
clears the ICC2.Z flag and invokes a trap #2 if both Z and C flags are
clear (the HI integer condition).  This can be done with the TIHI
conditional trap instruction.

The trap then physically reenables interrupts and sets ICC2.C again.  Upon
returning the interrupt will be taken as interrupts will then be enabled.
Note that whilst processing the trap, the whole exceptions system is
disabled, and so an interrupt can't happen till it returns.

If no pending interrupt had happened, ICC2.C would still be set, the HI
condition would not be fulfilled, and no trap will happen.

Saving interrupts (local_irq_save) is simply a matter of pulling the ICC2.Z
flag out of the CCR register, shifting it down and masking it off.  This
gives a result of 0 if interrupts were enabled and 1 if they weren't.

Restoring interrupts (local_irq_restore) is then a matter of taking the
saved value mentioned previously and XOR'ing it against 1.  If it was one,
the result will be zero, and if it was zero the result will be non-zero.
This result is then used to affect the ICC2.Z flag directly (it is a
condition code flag after all).  An XOR instruction does not affect the
Carry flag, and so that bit of state is unchanged.  The two flags can then
be sampled to see if they're both zero using the trap (TIHI) as for the
unconditional reenablement (local_irq_enable).

This patch also:

 (1) Modifies the debugging stub (break.S) to handle single-stepping crossing
     into the trap #2 handler and into virtually disabled interrupts.

 (2) Removes superseded fixup pointers from the second instructions in the trap
     tables (there's no a separate fixup table for this).

 (3) Declares the trap #3 vector for use in .org directives in the trap table.

 (4) Moves irq_enter() and irq_exit() in do_IRQ() to avoid problems with
     virtual interrupt handling, and removes the duplicate code that has now
     been folded into irq_exit() (softirq and preemption handling).

 (5) Tells the compiler in the arch Makefile that ICC2 is now reserved.

 (6) Documents the in-kernel ABI, including the virtual interrupts.

 (7) Renames the old irq management functions to different names.

Revert commit d7102e95b7b9c00277562c29aad421d2d521c5f6:

    [PATCH] sched: filter affine wakeups

Apparently caused more than 10% performance regression for aim7 benchmark.
The setup in use is 16-cpu HP rx8620, 64Gb of memory and 12 MSA1000s with 144
disks.  Each disk is 72Gb with a single ext3 filesystem (courtesy of HP, who
supplied benchmark results).

The problem is, for aim7, the wake-up pattern is random, but it still needs
load balancing action in the wake-up path to achieve best performance.  With
the above commit, lack of load balancing hurts that workload.

However, for workloads like database transaction processing, the requirement
is exactly opposite.  In the wake up path, best performance is achieved with
absolutely zero load balancing.  We simply wake up the process on the CPU that
it was previously run.  Worst performance is obtained when we do load
balancing at wake up.

There isn't an easy way to auto detect the workload characteristics.  Ingo's
earlier patch that detects idle CPU and decide whether to load balance or not

18 years ago[PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK

[PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK

Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.

In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.

This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

[PATCH] compound page: default destructor

Somehow I imagined that calling a NULL destructor would free a compound page
rather than oopsing.  No, we must supply a default destructor, __free_pages_ok
using the order noted by prep_compound_page.  hugetlb can still replace this
as before with its own free_huge_page pointer.

The case that needs this is not common: rarely does put_compound_page's
put_page_testzero bring the count down to 0.  But if get_user_pages is applied
to some part of a compound page, without immediate release (e.g.  AIO or
Infiniband), then it's possible for its put_page to come after the containing
vma has been unmapped and the driver done its free_pages.

That's just the kind of case compound pages are supposed to be guarding
against (but Nick points out, nor did PageReserved handle this right).

[PATCH] compound page: use page[1].lru

If a compound page has its own put_page_testzero destructor (the only current
example is free_huge_page), that is noted in page[1].mapping of the compound
page.  But that's rather a poor place to keep it: functions which call
set_page_dirty_lock after get_user_pages (e.g.  Infiniband's
__ib_umem_release) ought to be checking first, otherwise set_page_dirty is
liable to crash on what's not the address of a struct address_space.

And now I'm about to make that worse: it turns out that every compound page
needs a destructor, so we can no longer rely on hugetlb pages going their own
special way, to avoid further problems of page->mapping reuse.  For example,
not many people know that: on 50% of i386 -Os builds, the first tail page of a
compound page purports to be PageAnon (when its destructor has an odd
address), which surprises page_add_file_rmap.

Keep the compound page destructor in page[1].lru.next instead.  And to free up
the common pairing of mapping and index, also move compound page order from
index to lru.prev.  Slab reuses page->lru too: but if we ever need slab to use
compound pages, it can easily stack its use above this.

(akpm: decoded version of the above: the tail pages of a compound page now
have ->mapping==NULL, so there's no need for the set_page_dirty[_lock]()
caller to check that they're not compund pages before doing the dirty).

restore_gp_regs() copies 64-bit user fields into 32-bit variables,
and in this combination, the new __get_user_asm_ll32() clobbers too
many registers.  It says:

/*

{ \
__asm__ __volatile__( \

: "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (val) \
: "0" (0), "r" (addr), "i" (-EFAULT)); \
}

and this requires val (%1) to be a 64-bit value.  In the case I saw,
gcc was using $3 for the 32-bit val, and wasn't expecting $4 to be
clobbered.

[SCSI] fix wrong context bugs in SCSI

There's a bug in releasing scsi_device where the release function
actually frees the block queue.  However, the block queue release
calls flush_work(), which requires process context (the scsi_device
structure may release from irq context).  Update the release function
to invoke via the execute_in_process_context() API.

Also clean up the scsi_target structure releasing via this API.

18 years ago[PATCH] add scsi_execute_in_process_context() API
James Bottomley [Tue, 14 Feb 2006 16:42:07 +0000 (10:42 -0600)]
[PATCH] add scsi_execute_in_process_context() API

We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device
functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the
place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this.

This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if
the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute
in process context if the caller doesn't have it.  Unfortunately, it
requires memory allocation in interrupt context, but it's better than
what we have previously.  The true solution will require a bit of
re-engineering, so isn't appropriate for 2.6.16.

[PATCH] x86: fix oprofile kernel callgraph regression

Fix x86 oprofile regression introduced by:
  commit c34d1b4d165c67b966bca4aba026443d7ff161eb
  [PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable

That commit reorganized tests for the userspace stack walking moving all
those tests into dump_backtrace(), however, dump_backtrace() was used for
both userspace and kernel stalk walking.  The result is typically no
recorded callgraph information for kernel samples.

Revive the original function as dump_kernel_backtrace() and rename the
other to dump_user_backtrace() to avoid future confusion.
