[PATCH] ppc32: add "indirect" DCR access, pass 2
From: Matt Porter <mporter@kernel.crashing.org>
DCR number is encoded in mfdcr/mtdcr command itself and this prevents easy
DCR access when register number is not known on compile time. This patch
adds __mfdcr & __mtdcr helpers which use pre-generated mfdcr/mtdcr
sequences for all possible DCR numbers. We also use GCC extension
__builtin_constant_p to optimize cases when DCR number is in fact known
during compilation.

[PATCH] shrink_all_memory() fixes
- Off-by-one in balance_pgdat means that we're not scanning the zones all
the way down to priority=0.
- Always set zone->temp_priority in shrink_caches(). I'm not sure why I had
the `if (zone->free_pages < zone->pages_high)' test in there, but it's
preventing us from setting ->prev_priority correctly on the
try_to_free_pages() path.
- Set zone->prev_priority to the current priority if it's currently a
"lower" priority. This allows us to build up the pressure on mapped pages
on the first scanning pass rather than only on successive passes.

[PATCH] ide: remove useless /proc/ide/siimage from siimage.c
It only gives (not mapped in case of MMIO) DMA base addresses.
The same info is given during driver initialization (if BM-DMA is used)
or can be obtained from 'lspci -v' output (if MMIO-DMA is used).
- convert ->isa_ports into ->flags (IDEPCI_FLAG_ISA_PORTS)
- add IDEPCI_FLAG_{OBS_FORCE_PDC,FORCE_MASTER} flags
and use them in setup-pci.c
- use struct pci_dev ->vendor and ->device fields directly
in generic.c and serverworks.c
- remove no longer needed debug checks (dev->device != d->device)
- remove ->vendor and ->device fields from ide_pci_device_t
- misc cleanups
The ->tf_load and ->exec_command driver hooks were changed to assume
that PIO was the only type of taskfile ever delivered to these functions.
This will be true... in the future, but not today. In other drivers
this change was not needed, but Promise executes commands differently
due to its "ATA packet" hardware features, so the Promise drivers need
this change reverted.

This patch is what we want. We don't in fact need to do the read

However, we need to do it in ppp_synctty.c as well as ppp_async.c.
Thanks to John K Luebs <jkluebs@luebsphoto.com> for pointing out the
problem.
The proper fix is _not_ NET_ETHERNET or default twiddling,
but better overall organization of the ethernet driver selection,
which would include not only CONFIG_NET_GIGE but other options as well.
Reverted back to old behavior until a full and complete solution
appears (and people like it, of course).

Fix a race identified by Jeremy Kerr <jeremy@redfishsoftware.com.au>: if

Fix that by clearing the per-process timer state in exit_notify(), while under
local_irq_disable() and under tasklist_lock. tasklist_lock provides exclusion
wrt release_task()'s freeing of task->sighand and local_irq_disable() provides
exclusion wrt update_process_times()'s inspection of the per-process timer
state.
We also need to deal with the send_sig() calls in do_process_times() by

[PATCH] Add FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE futex op
From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
FUTEX_REQUEUE operation has been added to the kernel mainly to improve
pthread_cond_broadcast which previously used FUTEX_WAKE INT_MAX op.
pthread_cond_broadcast releases internal condvar mutex before FUTEX_REQUEUE
operation, as otherwise the woken up thread most likely immediately sleeps
again on the internal condvar mutex until the broadcasting thread releases it.
Unfortunately this is racy and causes e.g.
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/nptl/tst-cond16.c?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc
to hang on SMP.
http://listman.redhat.com/archives/phil-list/2004-May/msg00023.html contains
analysis how the hang happens, the problem is if any thread does
pthread_cond_*wait in between releasing of the internal condvar mutex and
FUTEX_REQUEUE operation, a wrong thread might be awaken (and immediately go to
sleep again because it doesn't satisfy conditions for returning from
pthread_cond_*wait) while the right thread requeued on the associated mutex
and there would be nobody to wake that thread up.
The patch below extends FUTEX_REQUEUE operation with something FUTEX_WAIT
already uses:
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE is passed an additional argument which is the expected value
of *futex. Kernel then while holding the futex locks checks if *futex !=
expected and returns -EAGAIN in that case, while if it is equal, continues
with a normal FUTEX_REQUEUE operation. If the syscall returns -EAGAIN, NPTL
can fall back to FUTEX_WAKE INT_MAX operation which doesn't have this problem,
but is less efficient, while in the likely case that nobody hit the (small)
window the efficient FUTEX_REQUEUE operation is used.

This fixes a couple of bugs in arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c. We were
missing a couple of places where we needed to use RELOC(). I added the
RELOC in one case, and in the other, moved the variable that we were
accessing onto the stack (and reduced its size). (We use the variable
to get a property value, but we aren't interested in the value, just in
whether the property exists or not. Since we pass the size of the
variable to the OF getprop call, it won't overflow.) The effect of
missing the RELOCs would be that random memory locations get used on IBM
pSeries systems (possibly causing random boot failures).
The other thing that this does is add a linux,phandle property to each
node, containing the phandle for the node, which is the token that OF
uses to identify the node. Some nodes reference other nodes by means
of their phandle. Without the linux,phandle property, userspace code
looking at the OF device-tree image in /proc/device-tree has no way of
knowing which other node is being referenced.
