2008-07-24generic irqs: handle failure of irqchip->set_type in setup_irqUwe Kleine-König1-22/+42
set_type returns an int indicating success or failure, but up to now setup_irq ignores that. In my case this resulted in a machine hang: gpio-keys requested IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING | IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, but arm/ns9xxx can only trigger on one direction so set_type didn't touch the configuration which happens do default to a level sensitiveness and returned -EINVAL. setup_irq ignored that and unmasked the irq. This resulted in an endless triggering of the gpio-key interrupt service routine which effectively killed the machine. With this patch applied setup_irq propagates the error to the caller. Note that before in the case chip && !chip->set_type && !chip->name a NULL pointer was feed to printk. This is fixed, too.

Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port. If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

2008-07-24pm: acpi hibernation: utilize hardware signatureShaohua Li4-1/+30
ACPI defines a hardware signature. BIOS calculates the signature according to hardware configure and if hardware changes while hibernated, the signature will change. In that case, S4 resume should fail. Still, there may be systems on which this mechanism does not work correctly, so it is better to provide a workaround for them. For this reason, add a new switch to the acpi_sleep= command line argument allowing one to disable hardware signature checking.

2008-07-24pm: boot time suspend selftestDavid Brownell3-2/+212
Boot-time test for system suspend states (STR or standby). The generic RTC framework triggers wakeup alarms, which are used to exit those states. - Measures some aspects of suspend time ... this uses "jiffies" until someone converts it to use a timebase that works properly even while timer IRQs are disabled. - Triggered by a command line parameter. By default nothing even vaguely troublesome will happen, but "test_suspend=mem" will give you a brief STR test during system boot. (Or you may need to use "test_suspend=standby" instead, if your hardware needs that.) This isn't without problems. It fires early enough during boot that for example both PCMCIA and MMC stacks have misbehaved. The workaround in those cases was to boot without such media cards inserted.

2008-07-24security: protect legacy applications from executing with insufficient privilegeAndrew G. Morgan2-50/+60
When cap_bset suppresses some of the forced (fP) capabilities of a file, it is generally only safe to execute the program if it understands how to recognize it doesn't have enough privilege to work correctly. For legacy applications (fE!=0), which have no non-destructive way to determine that they are missing privilege, we fail to execute (EPERM) any executable that requires fP capabilities, but would otherwise get pP' < fP. This is a fail-safe permission check. For some discussion of why it is problematic for (legacy) privileged applications to run with less than the set of capabilities requested for them, see: http://userweb.kernel.org/~morgan/sendmail-capabilities-war-story.html With this iteration of this support, we do not include setuid-0 based privilege protection from the bounding set. That is, the admin can still (ab)use the bounding set to suppress the privileges of a setuid-0 program.

2008-07-24mm: fix ever-decreasing swap priorityHugh Dickins1-24/+25
Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed. It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from -1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression, since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the positive specified priorities 0 to 32767. One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority. In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

2008-07-24mm: make CONFIG_MIGRATION available w/o CONFIG_NUMAGerald Schaefer4-23/+21
We'd like to support CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE on s390, which depends on CONFIG_MIGRATION. So far, CONFIG_MIGRATION is only available with NUMA support. This patch makes CONFIG_MIGRATION selectable for architectures that define ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. When MIGRATION is enabled w/o NUMA, the kernel won't compile because migrate_vmas() does not know about vm_ops->migrate() and vma_migratable() does not know about policy_zone. To fix this, those two functions can be restricted to '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA' because they are not being used w/o NUMA. vma_migratable() is moved over from migrate.h to mempolicy.h.

2008-07-24memory-hotplug: add sysfs removable attribute for hotplug memory removeBadari Pulavarty4-0/+115
Memory may be hot-removed on a per-memory-block basis, particularly on POWER where the SPARSEMEM section size often matches the memory-block size. A user-level agent must be able to identify which sections of memory are likely to be removable before attempting the potentially expensive operation. This patch adds a file called "removable" to the memory directory in sysfs to help such an agent. In this patch, a memory block is considered removable if; o It contains only MOVABLE pageblocks o It contains only pageblocks with free pages regardless of pageblock type On the other hand, a memory block starting with a PageReserved() page will never be considered removable. Without this patch, the user-agent is forced to choose a memory block to remove randomly.

2008-07-24memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdatYasunori Goto1-1/+77
Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this. Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated on only one page. If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing other sections. This dependency is not desirable for memory removing. Pgdat has similar feature. When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last section for removing on the node. So, if section A has pgdat and section B has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency each other. To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat as much as possible. If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be removed finally.

2008-07-24PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi57-74/+36
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.
