All asm/ipc.h files do only #include .
This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically:1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
restrictions.2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the
crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
is overridden to zero when called).3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
deadlock.This patch:
Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

Switch single-linked binfmt formats list to usual list_head's. This leads
to one-liners in register_binfmt() and unregister_binfmt(). The downside
is one pointer more in struct linux_binfmt. This is not a problem, since
the set of registered binfmts on typical box is very small -- (ELF +
something distro enabled for you).Test-booted, played with executable .txt files, modprobe/rmmod binfmt_misc.

Introduce architecture dependent kretprobe blacklists to prohibit users
from inserting return probes on the function in which kprobes can be
inserted but kretprobes can not.This patch also removes "__kprobes" mark from "__switch_to" on x86_64 and
registers "__switch_to" to the blacklist on x86-64, because that mark is to
prohibit user from inserting only kretprobe.Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu

Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess.
This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1.- fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case.
- For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(),
which returns -EINVAL.
- removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc.
- removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64.- only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it
to return -EINVAL.Note:
Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other
archs if there are requirements and testers.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

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.Signed-off-by: Will Schmidt

All the users go through virt_irq_to_bucket() and essentially
want to go from a virt_irq to an INO, but we have a way
to do that already via virt_to_real_irq_table[].dev_ino.This also allows us to kill both virt_to_real_irq() and
virt_irq_to_bucket().Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

We have a place to stick INO information in the

We were simply concatenating the devhandle and devino and using that
as the cookie, which defeats the entire purpose of the VIRQ hypervisor
interfaces.Now that we use physical addresses for the INO buckets, we can
allocate them dynamically for VIRQs and encode the cookies as
~__pa(bucket). This allows us to test for and decode the cookie with
a simple:brlz $reg1, 1f
xnor $reg1, %g0, $reg2sequence.
This works because bit 64 is never set in traditional
INO vectors, and it is also never set in a physical
address. So xnor'ing the physical address of the bucket
always gives us a negative number, and thus a unique
condition we can test cheaply.Inspired by ideas from Greg Onufer.

Shrinks kernel by 16K compared to before the IVEC physical
address changes.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
-
Currently we chain IVEC entries using 32-bit "pointers"
because we know that the ivector_table is in the main
kernel image, thus below 4GB.This uses proper 64-bit pointers instead.
Whilst this bloats up the kernel image size, this sets
the infrastructure necessary to significantly shrink the
kernel size by using physical addresses and dynamically
allocating the ivector table.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

This also makes us use the MSI queues correctly.
Each MSI queue is serviced by a normal sun4u/sun4v INO interrupt
handler. This handler runs the MSI queue and dispatches the
virtual interrupts indicated by arriving MSIs in that MSI queue.All of the common logic is placed in pci_msi.c, with callbacks to
handle the PCI controller specific aspects of the operations.This common infrastructure will make it much easier to add MSG
support.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Thanks to Tom Callaway for the excellent bug report and
test case.sys_ipc() has several problems, most to due with semaphore
call handling:1) 'err' return should be a 'long'
2) "union semun" is passed in a register on 64-bit compared
to 32-bit which provides it on the stack and therefore
by reference
3) Second and third arguments to SEMCTL are swapped compared
to 32-bit.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
-
The name field of of_platform_driver is just copied into the
included device_driver. By not overriding an already initialised
device_driver name, we can convert the drivers over time to stop using
the of_platform_driver name.Also we were not copying the owner field from of_platform_driver, so do
the same with it.Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctlwere modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman
