Apparently gettimeoffset can return small negative values (usually in
the 100us range). If xtime.tv_nsec is accidentally less than this,
though (a fortunately unlikely event) it triggers the loop forever.I've added a test and correct adjustment for this case. It has a
warning printk in there which I'd like to leave for the time being
just in case this problem implicates some other part of the kernel.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

The new problem, which has been affecting many more modules was that
our new ioremap really takes chunks out of our vmalloc space. The net
result being that any two kernel vmalloc's now have to slot into the
chunked up space. So the vmallocs for a modules init and core sectons
are no longer necessarily contiguous. Unfortunately, the module loader
thinks that any internal symbol references should be satisfiable using the
jump instruction, which isn't true if the symbol is referenced from init
to core and vmalloc placed them a long way apart.Fix this by introducing a new stub type for intra module inter sectional
jumps and using it.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Check PDC_CACHE to see if spaceid hashing is turned on, and fail to
boot if that is the case.However, some old machines do not implement the PDC_CACHE_RET_SPID
firmware call, so continue to boot if the call fails because of
PDC_BAD_OPTION (but fail in all other error returns).Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin

pdc_stable v0.30:
This patch introduces 3 more files to the /sys/firmware/stable tree:
- diagnostic, which contains a cryptic hex string
- osdep1, a 16 bytes os-dependent storage area always available
- osdep2, another os-dependent storage area which existence/size depends
on hversion.This patch also adds code to setup the "Linux" signature in stable
storage. That is to say that starting with this patch, the kernel will
now sign its OSID (0x0006, thx LaMont) in Stable Storage upon boot,
whether pdc_stable is enabled or not.Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE

pdc_chassis v0.05:
Some machines seems not to implement Chassis warn support. Work around these.
Also cleanup a bit of the code.Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE
Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin -
This patch removes a limitation of the original code, so that CHASSIS
codes can be sent to all machines. On machines with a LCD panel, this
code displays "INI" during bootup, "RUN" when the system is booted and
running, "FLT" when a panic occurs, etc.This part of the code can be enabled/disabled through CONFIG_PDC_CHASSIS
This patch also adds minimalistic support for Chassis warnings, through
a proc entry '/proc/chassis', which will reflect the warnings status (PSU
or fans failure when they happen, NVRAM battery level and temperature
thresholds overflows).This part of the code can be enabled/disabled through CONFIG_PDC_CHASSIS_WARN

Joel Soete noticed correctly that the fixup's clobbers must be listed
as the ASM clobbers. FIXUP_BRANCH in unaligned.c has a new macro which
lists all the clobbers in the fixup, we use this throughout the file
to simplify the process of listing clobbers in the future.A missing "r1" clobber is added to our uaccess.h for the 64-bit
__put_kernel_asm. Interestingly this is a pretty serious bug since gcc
generates pretty good use of r1 as a temporary and the uses of
__put_kernel_asm are varied and dangerous if r1 is scratched during
an invalid write.Signed-off-by: Joel Soete

This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other
function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
had NUMA ifdef'ed out.I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.Signed-off-by: Amul Shah

In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is
used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a
per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those
members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late.For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a
possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the
following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting
information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure
before writing out an accounting record.This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt
are done before generating accounting record.[mingo@elte.hu: fix acct_collect() siglock bug found by lockdep]

When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it
refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any
other task_structs are ignored.Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are
used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is
always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this
process has called execve() after fork().We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit
code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode
is not the group leader's one. -
The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is
generated. There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up. If OOM killer is
activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory
regions.But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling
exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory. In the results, any
processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.
