Fixed up conflict in arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/Kconfig manually.
Preliminary support for the Intel 5100 MCH. CE and UE errors are reported
along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters.
Reasons why this is preliminary:
1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best
perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory. This
architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures
which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data.
Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory
controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then
all ranks of controller 1). Someone much more familiar with the edac
core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data
structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two
memory controllers.
2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller
address space into the physical address space of the CPU. There is
nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of
code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't
work yet...
3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard
chip select mapping. This mapping seems obvious to me in order to
support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM
labels could be wrong on other mainboards. There is no way to query
this mapping that I know of.
4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode. Only 4 ranks per
controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported. I do not have hardware
(nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks
per controller) mode.
5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real"
i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.

Implement the get_parent export operation by sending a LOOKUP request with
".." as the name.
Implement looking up an inode by node ID after it has been evicted from
the cache. This is done by seding a LOOKUP request with "." as the name
(for all file types, not just directories).
The filesystem can set the FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT flag in the INIT reply, to
indicate that it supports these special lookups.

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by
posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
called or fl_wait is woken up).
f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
as non-sleeping locks.
This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.
This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load.
Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory. The statistics, how long
memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage.
This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for
accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages().
<i.e>
- When System is under low memory load,
memory reclaim may not occur.

Report per-thread I/O statistics in /proc/pid/task/tid/io and aggregate
parent I/O statistics in /proc/pid/io. This approach follows the same
model used to account per-process and per-thread CPU times.
As a practial application, this allows for example to quickly find the top
I/O consumer when a process spawns many child threads that perform the
actual I/O work, because the aggregated I/O statistics can always be found
in /proc/pid/io.

This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical
positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week
in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418.
This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount
of lowmem. With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification
routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc
namespace creation/ removal.
When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e. value written to the proc
file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it
registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file. This is
the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick".
To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni.
This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing.
With this patch, the process is the following:
1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode"
/proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends
on lowmem)
/proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1"
2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
. sets msg_ctlmni to <val>
. de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added
msgmni won't be recomputed anymore)
. /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0"
3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
. de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing
this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays
blocked at its current value)
3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
. recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size
and number of ipc namespaces
. re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

The attached patch:
- reverses the locking order of ulp->lock and sem_lock:
Previously, it was first ulp->lock, then inside sem_lock.
Now it's the other way around.
- converts the undo structure to rcu.
Benefits:
- With the old locking order, IPC_RMID could not kfree the undo structures.
The stale entries remained in the linked lists and were released later.
- The patch fixes a a race in semtimedop(): if both IPC_RMID and a semget() that
recreates exactly the same id happen between find_alloc_undo() and sem_lock,
then semtimedop() would access already kfree'd memory.

After scalability problems have been detected when using the sysV ipcs, I have
proposed to use an RCU based implementation of the IDR api instead (see
threads http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/11/212 and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/295).
This resulted in many people asking to convert the idr API and make it rcu
safe (because most of the code was duplicated and thus unmaintanable and
unreviewable).
So here is a first attempt.
The important change wrt to the idr API itself is during idr removes: idr
layers are freed after a grace period, instead of being moved to the free
list.
The important change wrt to ipcs, is that idr_find() can now be called
locklessly inside a rcu read critical section.
Here are the results I've got for the pmsg test sent by Manfred:

kdump kernel fails to boot with calgary iommu and aacraid driver on a x366
box. The ongoing dma's of aacraid from the first kernel continue to exist
until the driver is loaded in the kdump kernel. Calgary is initialized
prior to aacraid and creation of new tce tables causes wrong dma's to
occur. Here we try to get the tce tables of the first kernel in kdump
kernel and use them. While in the kdump kernel we do not allocate new tce
tables but instead read the base address register contents of calgary
iommu and use the tables that the registers point to. With these changes
the kdump kernel and hence aacraid now boots normally.

workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_DEAD) flushes cwq->thread under

can't use get_online_cpus() due to the possible deadlock, very bad and
very old problem.
Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after
cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done().
Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD.
This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus()
any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.

Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(),
but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not
an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example.
Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the
specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last
queue_work() which is visible to the caller.
For example, this code
queue_work(wq, work);
/* WINDOW */
queue_work(wq, work);
flush_work(work);
doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is
- wq starts the execution of work->func()
- the caller migrates to another CPU
now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and
at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may
return before the first work->func() completes.
It is trivial to add another helper
int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work)
{
return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work);
}
which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus
it much slower than flush_work().

Now that we have core_state->dumper list we can use it to wake up the
sub-threads waiting for the coredump completion.
This uglifies the code and .text grows by 47 bytes, but otoh mm_struct
lessens by sizeof(struct completion). Also, with this change we can
decouple exit_mm() from the coredumping code.

binfmt->core_dump() has to iterate over the all threads in system in order
to find the coredumping threads and construct the list using the
GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
With this patch each thread allocates the list node on exit_mm()'s stack and
adds itself to the list.
This allows us to do further changes:
- simplify ->core_dump()
- change exit_mm() to clear ->mm first, then wait for ->core_done.
this makes the coredumping process visible to oom_kill
- kill mm->core_done

Move mm->core_waiters into "struct core_state" allocated on stack. This
shrinks mm_struct a little bit and allows further changes.
This patch mostly does s/core_waiters/core_state. The only essential
change is that coredump_wait() must clear mm->core_state before return.
The coredump_wait()'s path is uglified and .text grows by 30 bytes, this
is fixed by the next patch.

mm->core_startup_done points to "struct completion startup_done" allocated
on the coredump_wait()'s stack. Introduce the new structure, core_state,
which holds this "struct completion". This way we can add more info
visible to the threads participating in coredump without enlarging
mm_struct.
No changes in affected .o files.

Kill PF_BORROWED_MM. Change use_mm/unuse_mm to not play with ->flags, and
do s/PF_BORROWED_MM/PF_KTHREAD/ for a couple of other users.
No functional changes yet. But this allows us to do further
fixes/cleanups.
oom_kill/ptrace/etc often check "p->mm != NULL" to filter out the
kthreads, this is wrong because of use_mm(). The problem with
PF_BORROWED_MM is that we need task_lock() to avoid races. With this
patch we can check PF_KTHREAD directly, or use a simple lockless helper:
/* The result must not be dereferenced !!! */
struct mm_struct *__get_task_mm(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
if (tsk->flags & PF_KTHREAD)
return NULL;
return tsk->mm;
}
Note also ecard_task(). It runs with ->mm != NULL, but it's the kernel
thread without PF_BORROWED_MM.

Introduce the new PF_KTHREAD flag to mark the kernel threads. It is set
by INIT_TASK() and copied to the forked childs (we could set it in
kthreadd() along with PF_NOFREEZE instead).
daemonize() was changed as well. In that case testing of PF_KTHREAD is
racy, but daemonize() is hopeless anyway.
This flag is cleared in do_execve(), before search_binary_handler().
Probably not the best place, we can do this in exec_mmap() or in
start_thread(), or clear it along with PF_FORKNOEXEC. But I think this
doesn't matter in practice, and if do_execve() fails kthread should die
soon.

ptrace_stop() has some complicated checks to prevent the scheduling in the
TASK_TRACED state with the pending SIGKILL, but these checks are racy, and
they depend on arch_ptrace_stop_needed().
This patch assumes that the traced task should die asap if it was killed by
SIGKILL, in that case schedule()->signal_pending_state() has no reason to
ignore the TASK_WAKEKILL part of TASK_TRACED, and we can kill this nasty
special case.
Note: do_exit()->ptrace_notify() is special, the killed task can already
dequeue SIGKILL at this point. Another indication that fatal_signal_pending()
is not exactly right.

This patch contains the following cleanups for the asm/ptrace.h
userspace headers:
- include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm already lists ptrace.h, remove
the superfluous listings in the Kbuild files of the following
architectures:
- cris
- frv
- powerpc
- x86
- don't expose function prototypes and macros to userspace:
- arm
- blackfin
- cris
- mn10300
- parisc
- remove #ifdef CONFIG_'s around #define's:
- blackfin
- m68knommu
- sh: AFAIK __SH5__ should work in both kernel and userspace,
no need to leak CONFIG_SUPERH64 to userspace
- xtensa: cosmetical change to remove empty
#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ #else #endif
from the userspace headers
Not changed by this patch is the fact that the following architectures
have a different struct pt_regs depending on CONFIG_ variables:
- h8300
- m68knommu
- mips
This does not work in userspace.
