  • We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
    after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
    condition.

    Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
    state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
    application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
    that something has gone wrong.

    This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
    than just the one thread.

  • When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
    TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This
    means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
    possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
    PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
    call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an
    unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
    been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.

    A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
    But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this
    constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.

    Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
    clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
    than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

  • Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
    1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
    2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

    As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
    rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

  • This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
    bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires
    all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
    should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
    however that would be for another patch).

  • If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as
    tainted. Thus, all subsequent OOPSes and SysRq dumps will report the
    tainted kernel. This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the

  • Not directly related to x86, but I got tired of seeing these warnings on every
    kconfig update when building on a non m68k box:

    drivers/input/keyboard/Kconfig:170:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'KEYBOARD_ATARI' refers to undefined symbol 'ATARI_KBD_CORE'
    drivers/input/mouse/Kconfig:182:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MOUSE_ATARI' refers to undefined symbol 'ATARI_KBD_CORE'

    I moved the definition of ATARI_KBD_CORE into drivers/input/keyboard/Kconfig
    so it's always seen by Kconfig.

  • Fix a crash caused by requests placed in the queue with the completed flag
    already set. This lead to some ADB_SYNC requests returning early and their
    request structs being popped off the stack while still queued. Stack corruption
    ensued or an invalid request callback pointer was invoked or both. Eliminate
    macii_retransmit() and its buggy implementation of macii_write(). Have
    macii_queue_poll() fully initialise the request queues.

    Fix a bug in macii_queue_poll() where the last_req pointer was not being set.
    This caused some requests to leave the queue before being completed (and would
    also corrupt the stack under certain conditions).

    Fix a race in macii_start that could set the state machine to "reading" while
    current_req was null.

    No longer send poll commands with the ADBREQ_REPLY flag -- doing that caused
    the replies to be stored in the request buffer where they were forgotten
    about.

    Don't autopoll by continuously sending new Talk commands. Get the controller to
    do that for us. This reduces the ADB interrupt rate on an idle bus to about 5
    per second. Only autopoll the devices that were probed.

    Explicitly clear the interrupt flag when polling.

    Use disable_irq rather than local_irq_save when polling.

    Remove excess local_irq_save/restore pairs.

    Improve bus timeout and service request detection.

    Remove unused code (last_reply, adb_dir etc) and unneeded code (prefix_len,
    first_byte etc).

    Change TIP and TACK to their correct names on this ADB controller (ST_EVEN and
    ST_ODD).

    Add some commentry.

    Add a generous quantity of sanity checks (BUG_ONs).

    Let m68k macs use the adb_sync boot param too.

  • There are no slow IRQs on Macs since Roman Zippel's IRQ reorganisation that
    went into 2.6.16 and removed mac_irq_list[] and the do_mac_irq_list()
    dispatcher. (They were implemented in do_mac_irq_list() by lowering the IPL.)
    Hence there's no more use for mutual exclusion in the Mac interrupt
    dispatchers. Remove it.

  • Some Macs lack a slot interrupt enable register. So the existing code makes
    disabled and unregistered slot IRQ lines outputs set high. This seems to work
    on quadras, but does not work on genuine VIAs (perhaps the card still succeeds
    in pulling the line low, or perhaps because this increases the settle time on
    the port A input, meaning that the CA1 IRQ could fire before the slot line
    reads active).

    Because of this, the nubus_active flags were used to mask IRQs, which is
    actually worse than the problem it tries to solve. Any interrupt masked by
    nubus_active will remain asserted and prevent further transitions on CA1. And
    so the nubus gets wedged regardless of hardware (emulated VIA ASIC, real VIA
    chip or RBV).

    The best solution to this hardware limitation of genuine VIAs is to disable the
    umbrella SLOTS IRQ when disabling a slot on those machines. Unfortunately, this
    means all slot IRQs get disabled when any slot IRQ is disabled. But it is only
    a problem when there's more than 1 device using nubus interrupts.

    Another potential problem for genuine VIAs is an unregistered nubus IRQ.
    Eventually it will be possible to enable the CA1 interrupt by installing its
    handler only _after_ all nubus drivers have loaded but _before_ the kernel
    needs them, at which time this last problem can be fixed. For now it can be
    worked around:

    - disable MacOS extensions
    - don't boot MacOS (use the Emile bootloader instead)
    - get the bootloaders to disable ROM drivers (Penguin does this for video
    cards already, don't know about Emile)
    - physically remove unsupported cards

  • Make sure that there are no slot IRQs asserted before leaving the nubus
    handler. If there are and we don't then the nubus gets wedged because this
    prevents a CA1 transition, which means no more nubus IRQs.

    Make the interrupt dispatch loops terminate sooner.

    Explicitly initialise the VIA latches to make the code more easily understood.
