This patch makes modpost able to process object files with more than
64k sections. Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example)
with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example,
by this document:"IA-64 gABI Proposal 74: Section Indexes"

Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both

without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62dafb4a6633eae7ffbeb34c60dba5e7b1 "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.Reported-by: Andreas Barth

I was testing two CyberPro 2000 based PCI cards on x86 and the machine always
hanged completely when the cyber2000fb module was loaded. It seems that the
card hangs when some registers are accessed too quickly after writing RAMDAC
control register. With this patch, both card work.Add delay after RAMDAC control register write to prevent hangs on module load.

In root_nfs_name() it does the following:
if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
return -1;
}
sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the
code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
buffer.Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
condition:lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()
as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.Instead, add the following validation condition:
task->exit_state >= 0
to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
its own credentials.Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:
(1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying.(2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
instead.Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
task being accessed.What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
TASK_1 TASK_2 RCU_CLEANER
-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
rcu_read_lock()
__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
-->commit_creds()
old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
TASK_2->real_cred = ...
put_cred(old_cred)
call_rcu(old_cred)
[__cred->usage == 0]
get_cred(__cred)
[__cred->usage == 1]
rcu_read_unlock()
-->put_cred_rcu()
[__cred->usage == 1]
panic()However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
cleanup code.We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
same problem.Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,

ASUS P5-V provides a SSID that unexpectedly matches with the value

The ioread/iowrite accessors also need barriers as they're used in
place of readl/writel et.al. in portable drivers. Create __iormb()
and __iowmb() which are conditionally defined to be barriers dependent
on ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE, and always use these macros in the accessors.Signed-off-by: Russell King
-
When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable
(ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered
with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do
not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer.
LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be
added to the I/O accessors:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to
handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the
processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer
command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced
after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a
DMA transfer ready bit.Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers

l2x0_lock held.Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas
