I have done a bit more digging.

For some reason, likely historical we don't initialize the
IO_APIC in init_IRQ().  Instead we wait until smp_prepare_cpus() or
smp_init().  Both functions are called much later in the init process
than calibrate_delay().

Given the separation that has happened between apics and SMP it should
be possible to initialize the local apic and the IO_APIC of the boot
cpu much earlier in the game.  It looks like it may take some heavy
lifting though.

2.6.11-rc3-mm1 bad scheduling while atomic + lockup

2005-02-06 Thread Maciej Soltysiak
Hello,

I just want to report a lockup on my 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 machine.

I was working on it via ssh and suddenly the machine stopped
responding. When, the next day I came up to the console
it was printing over and over this oops.

In the logs I could find the oops. I am posting it inline here
along with some logs before that (maybe it is related)

Something to keep in mind when extending the command line is that
we'll probably need a mechanism for passing additional (and
possibly large) data blocks from the boot loader soon.

The reason for this is that, if booting through kexec, it would be
attractive to pass device scan results, so that the second kernel
doesn't have to repeat the work. As an obvious extension, anyone
who wants to boot *quickly* could also pass such data from
persistent storage without actually performing the device scan at
all when the machine is booted.

The command line may be suitable for this, but to allow for passing
a lot of data, its place in memory should perhaps just be reserved,
at least until the system has passed initialization, without trying
to copy it to a "safe" place early in kernel startup.

because some distributions (eg gentoo) make a symlink to /proc/filesystems

jupiter root # ls -l /etc/filesystems
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 19 Oct 25 11:18 /etc/filesystems ->
../proc/filesystems

and then its impossible to change the order. (unless you make a "hand
made" file of course).

Actually, it's
http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd2/clearlight/cl_400plus

I didn't put the drive in myself, but I'll unscrew it and check the
jumpers.

A simple DIRECT_IO 4096-byte read-write on the block device does reveal
corruption after an hour or so, so I should be able to track this down.
Might move my home dir back off it for a while though 8)

out-of-line x86 "put_user()" implementation

2005-02-06 Thread Linus Torvalds

I was looking at some of the code we generate, and happened to notice that 
we have this strange situation where the x86 "get_user()" macros generate 
out-of-line code to do all the address verification etc, but the 
"put_user()" ones do not, and do everything inline.

I also noticed that (probably as a result of this), our "put_user()" on 
old i386 machines does not do the full magic manual page-following. Which 
means that copy-on-write doesn't necessarily work right due to the broken 
paging hw on the original 386 core.

I didn't fix the second part, but at least making things out-of-line makes
it possible. And making "put_user()" be out-of-line seemed quite doable.

I no longer use x86 as my main machine, so this patch is totally untested. 
I've compiled it to see that things look somewhat sane, but that doesn't 
mean much. If I forgot some register or screwed something else up, this 
will result in a totally nonworking kernel, but I thought that maybe 
somebody else would be interested in looking at whether this (a) works, 
(b) migth even shrink the kernel and (c) might make us able to DTRT wrt 
the page table following crud (old i386 cores may be hard to find these 
days, so maybe people don't care).

How to read file in kernel module?

2005-02-06 Thread linux lover
Hello,
I have written one /proc file creation kernel
module. This module creates /proc/file and defied
operations on it. Also i have written user program
that will read & write to /proc files from user space.
Now what i want is to use same bufproc_read &
bufproc_write  functions defined in /proc file
handling kernel module to be used in another kernel
module to read that /proc/file in kernel module.The
second kernel module only used to read /proc file in
kernel. I am not understanding how can i open that
/proc/file in second kenrel module to read in kernel?
regards,
linux_lover.

 First one works fine.

Any clues why  i am getting this error.

Is it related to SCSI Driver ?

Generating NLS modules

2005-02-06 Thread Pavel Fedin
 Nobody answered so i repeat the question.
 I think i found a way to make use of NLS table for HFS filesystem and
i'm going to try to implement it. But first i need to create NLS module
for codepage 10007 (Mac cyrillic). In the beginning of every existing
NLS module code i see comment which says that this file is automatically
generated from data found at unicode.org. Could you tell me where i can find a
convertor and what data it can use as input? I explored unicode.org and found
some conversion data at oss.software.ibm.com/icu/. The data is available in
UCM and XML formats. Are those files suitable?

Oh, I see. I wasn't sure where it should go and FC3 hotplug uses modules.*map
so I went that route. What do you think about the patch below then?

I am a little bit confused - is anybody using module aliases at the moment?
I could not find anything on my box...

Not one I'd be familiar with, but that doesn't mean anything.

And I didn't see an "unusual_devs.h" entry for it, but it does
look to need the CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_HP8200e support, which I
see is labeled "experimental".  I don't know how solid the
support for that is.   But I see Greg's checked in a big patch
against the file with that driver, which should make the next
MM patchset against 2.6.11-rc3 ... mostly to support some
new hardware, but with that many changes I suspect there'll
be some bugfixes too.

This would be www.macpower.com.tw/produts/hdd2/daisycutter/dc_usb2
maybe?  The www.qbik.ch/usb/devices database has a report from one
user saying they had problems with a different MacPower adapter until
they fixed its jumpers.  Also worth a check.

Please just use if (drive->addressing), it is simpler and still correct.
Since we are now using ide_task_t 'high' will be 0 when
ide_id_has_flush_cache() == 0 and drive->addressing == 1
(such combination is unlikely but...).  Also thanks to this change
ide_get_error_location() becomes a really *generic* helper and

 Okay.
There is one problem left with this change - FLUSH_CACHE_{EXT}
command handling becomes slower for drive's supporting LBA48
(also next patches make ide_{task,cmd}_ioctl() slower).  Why is so?
See do_rw_taskfile(), HOB registers are written/read unconditionally
if (drive->addressing == 1).  This can be fixed by i.e. adding
'unsigned long flags' to ide_task_t and IDE_TASK_LBA48 flag.
BTW this fix is needed also to implement LBA48 optimization for
read/write requests (not writing HOB registers when not needed).
IMHO there are some things worth mentioning in the patch description,
do_rw_taskfile() vs execute_drive_cmd()+ide_cmd() details:
some registers are written now in different order and timeout is bumped
(these changes shouldn't make any harm but I'm paranoid :).
 Yeah, sure.
 Thanks.

It wasn't racy before this patch.  I know that it is like that
in ide_taskfile_ioctl() but it is not an excuse for propagating
the bug.  It can be easily fixed if you use drive_cmd_intr()
instead of task_in_intr() as task->handler.
 Fixing the race condition in taskfile ioctl was on my to-do list, so I 
was thinking unifying the problem wouldn't be bad such that it can be 
fixed together later (soon).  I think I can make a patch to fix taskfile 
ioctl first and then submit this patch again without the race.

 Thanks.

Patch adds 'unsinged long flags' to ide_task_t and uses ATA_TFLAG_LBA48
flag (from ) to indicate need of accessing LBA48 taskfile
registers.
 ide_task_t already has fields to enable/disable writing/reading of 
taskfile and hob registers (tf_in_flags and tf_out_flags).  How about 
adding the following two helpers.

static inline ide_init_task[_std](ide_task_t *task)
{
memset(task, 0, sizeof(*task));
task->tf_out_flags = IDE_TASKFILE_STD_OUT_FLAGS;
task->tf_in_flags = IDE_TASKFILE_STD_IN_FLAGS;
}
static inline ide_init_task_lba48(ide_task_t *task)
{
memset(task, 0, sizeof(*task));
task->tf_out_flags = IDE_TASKFILE_STD_OUT_FLAGS
| (IDE_HOB_STD_OUT_FLAGS << 8);
task->tf_in_flags = IDE_TASKFILE_STD_IN_FLAGS
| (IDE_HOB_STD_IN_FLAGS << 8);
}
 And, when writing taskfile,
if (task->tf_out_flags & 0xf == IDE_TASKFILE_STD_OUT_FLAGS) {
/* Write taskfile regs without testing flags */
} else {
/* Flagged taskfile */
}
if (task->tf_out_flags & 0xf0 == IDE_TASKFILE_HOB_OUT_FLAGS) {
/* Write hob regs without testing flags */
} else {
/* Flagged hob */
}
 And, when reading taskfile back,
if (task->tf_in_flags & 0xf0) {
/* Read all hob regs */
}
/* Read all taskfile regs */
 And, we need to check if any of in/out flags is zero in ioctl 
functions and set STD flags appropriately.  So, basically, in kernel, 
tf_{in|out}_flags == 0 now means 0, not default.

 By doing like above,
 1. Virtually the same effect
 2. No need to add new field to ide_task_t
 3. Cleaner semantics (ATA_TFLAG_LBA48 and tf_{in|out}_flags carry
duplicate information.)
 Thanks.

Yes, for some reason the July patch never got applied to that (now
outdated) 2.6.10 version of relayfs - either that patch or yours
should fix the problem - thanks for sending it.  In any case, the
version of relayfs you're using is now ancient history - the latest
redux versions of relayfs recently posted to lkml have completely
changed or removed all that code, so you might want to try testing
with the latest patch (which I'm still reworking parts of even now).

Thanks,

What do you mean "minors"?  Addresses or actual /dev/sdN numbers?

If it's addresses, that would be an an enumeration problem.  Some
recent changes have caused prolems there, 2.6.11-rc3-mm2 ought to
have a patch making it better.  (Well, working around one of the
two problems that'd suggest.)

If it's actual /dev/sdN numbers, that would seem to be an issue
more at the level of usb-storage.  Quite possibly related to the
bugs you didn't exactly detail (below).

Sure, applied.  I would appreciated tests, however: you can download the
testsuite from the same place you get module-init-tools.  I don't expect
you to be able to compile for all endian/size combinations, but I can do
that for you.

You should also put the logic into the kernel's scripts/mod/file2alias,
which is where this is supposed to go these days (I haven't removed the
modules.XXX files, since hotplug has enough deployment problems without
me making things worse).

I'm not the maintainer, but it looks fine to me except for use
of numeric constants (e.g 0x5f, 0x18) instead of adding #defines
to name the values. But if no one knows what those offsets are for
we'll just have to leave it.

Unfortunately, I didn't anything documenting 0x5f and 0x18.

Will m7101.c be modified once quirks enabling the device?

Regression? in USB support w/r/t libusb

2005-02-06 Thread Thomas Frayne
Kernel developer's, if you don't think this is a kernel regression,
please ignore this note.

In FC3, with kernel 2.6.9-1.715_FC3smp, I hotplugged a formatted mini
external hard drive in a new enclosure into a USB 2.0 hub.  I expected
to find its device node, but could not find it in my maze of USB
devices.  I might have searched further, but, instead, I unplugged it,
and plugged it into another PC running FC1, with kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.
I expected to have to reboot to see it, but hotplug worked, and I found
the hard drive in the Hardware Browser, mounted its partitions, and used
NFS to copy data into the FC3 machine.

FC1 provided me an easy way to find the device node for a hotplugged USB
hard drive, but I found no such easy way in FC3.  Is this a regression,
or is there an easy way that I missed?

I am sending this note to both the Fedora mailing list and the kernel
mailing list to find out where the regression is, if any.

[PATCH] relayfs crash

2005-02-06 Thread Kingsley Cheung
Hi Tom,

I've been stress testing a module that uses relayfs on a custom built
2.6 kernel with relayfs patches in it.  This test simply loaded and
unloaded the module while a script loaded the system with forks of
'ls' in the background.  It was conducted on a dual 3.00GHz Xeon box
(I couldn't reproduce the bug on slower machines I had) and produced
oopses of the following type:

This oops looks like one mentioned in
http://www.listserv.shafik.org/pipermail/ltt/2004-July/000627.html 

It seems to be the same problem where the rchan work queue is
scheduled to run, but rchan has already been destroyed when the tries
it. This still happens in the latest patch against 2.6.10 at
http://www.opersys.com/ftp/pub/relayfs/patch-relayfs-2.6.10-050113

To solve the problem I applied a patch similar to the one you posted
back in July and it fixed the problem.  Could we consider putting this
patch into relayfs? Its similar to the one posted in July 2004, except
it also moves clear_readers() before INIT_WORK in relay_release (is
that acceptable?).

I have some spare partitions on the disk, so I've written a program
which writes using DIRECT_IO and verifies the results.  It took less
than an hour under my filesystem load, so I'll see if I can get this to
trigger it (currently N children writing to separate blocks, but if that
doesn't trigger it I'll get more sophisticated with readers and
writers).

Thanks for the response,
Rusty.

IIRC currently if both msdos and vfat are compiled in (not modules),  
and

you try to mount a vfat filesystem without explicitly specifying the fs
type, it will be mounted with the msdos type. With the, it will mounted
vfat.

But since filesystem detection isn't handled in the kernel, changing the  
link order is pointless. Please fix your /etc/filesystems instead.

~# grep camera /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto users,noauto 0 0
~# strace -o mount.trace mount /mnt/camera
~# grep filesystems mount.trace
open("/etc/filesystems", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
~# cat /etc/filesystems
ext2
ext3
nodev proc
nodev devpts
iso9660
reiserfs
vfat
udf
Also check man 8 mount, specifically option -t:
[...] Creating a  file /etc/filesystems can be useful to change the probe  
order (e.g., to try vfat before msdos) ...

This is from man-pages 1.66, btw.

Exactly.  The second one shows 2 revs, which is what you counted, and
the first shows 3 which is what is actually there.

See, all you have to do is look:

slovax /tmp/linux-2.5-cvs/linux-2.5 rlog REPORTING-BUGS,v

Working file: REPORTING-BUGS
head: 1.3

As for your pointer to the revision history on the web which shows 2
revs, you just don't understand BK.  There is a 1.0 delta in every file
that we hide by default.  That would be the matching delta to the RCS
1.1 delta.

Hey, Roman, the statement above stands.  You made the choice that you want
to go write a competing system.  If you hadn't you could just use BK and
stop whining.  Since you have made that choice, which is your right,
how about you produce your competing system?  And stop whining that
we aren't giving you enough help.  What is that you say?  It's hard?
It's way harder if we don't give you a roadmap?  Well gosh darn, that
must really suck for you.  I'm really sorry that you can't figure it out
without our help but that's sort of the whole point, isn't it?

hi all,
I would like point to work done by Li-Ta Lo.
It allows you to completely initalize the VGA BIOS w/out using
PC BIOS at all.
http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2005-January/010236.html
unforunatelly the information the web is somewhat sparse, but
you can get more info by following the archive of the
thread (which head I listed above) and perhaps by posting to
linuxbios mailing list (Ollie, is somewhat buy those days with his
new baby).
Either way quite amazing feat that should bring LinuxBIOS closer
to desktop.

Executive Summary: Bad page state at prep_new_page

2005-02-06 Thread Jay Roplekar
This might or might not be useful to anybody but I googled with the above  
error and tried to track down how many  of these errors had actually been 
resolved. [It is possible that people don't come back to summarize once the 
problem is resolved]. I only tracked once that did not get reported on lkml.  
And I tried to drill down to get as much info as I can. 


there were 12 in total that I tracked down starting 04/04/04 till 01/26/05
 None had a good resolution reported
 4 out of 12 had extensive memtest runs without any errors.  
12/12 were for 2.6.7-rc3 onwards. 
4/12 had mapping all zeroes [rest did not report or had non-zero mapping]

I might be barking up the wrong tree here without much knowledge,  but
I have a summary gnumeric spreadsheet [which I won't even think of attaching 
here] if it is going to be useful to anyone I would be glad to email 
personally.  It also has html links to the original reports.

Thanks,

Jay

Bzzt. Larry, I will make this one very easy, so that even you can follow 
it. Let's take a simple file:

$ rlog REPORTING-BUGS,v | grep 'total revisions'
total revisions: 3; selected revisions: 3
$ rlog REPORTING-BUGS,v | egrep '\(Logical change 1.[0-9]+\)'
(Logical change 1.31)
(Logical change 1.3)

Now please check http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/hist/REPORTING-BUGS
and tell me which number is correct.

Ditto.

> > [Questionable complaints that he isn't getting enough information]

I challenge you to quote a single complaint I did in this mail.
All I did was adding the missing facts, which you like to forget to 
mention and giving anyone the necessary information to verify them.

> First, you can get all the granularity that you want from bkbits.net.
> Find the file you want, find the revision, and go backwards to the

Once again our dear Larry tells only half the story. It's true that single 
file changes (which are in bkcvs are only available to 85%) are completely 
available via bkweb to 100%. The problem is again how all these changes 
relate to each other (the 44% number for bkcvs).
To give everyone an idea what this means, let's take a bit more 
complicated file like http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/hist/MAINTAINERS
Now try to figure out what all the revisions saying "Auto merged" actually 
merge. It's actually possible, but one has to use heuristics which can 
fail, so while one can restore most of the history of a single file, it's 
not reliable anymore as soon as the branching becomes more complex.
The real trouble starts if one wants to know how all these files relate to 
each other. Right now the bk tree contains over 59000 snapshots of how the 
kernel looked at a specific point. To restore these snapshots again one 
must apply the changesets in the correct order (this is equally true for 
the commit mails), IOW one must know the parent revisions of a changeset 
to really restore the history and to not just look at a part of it, but 
bkweb unfortunately doesn't provide this information in full. Within a 
branch the patch order is of course obvious, but one must also know where 
a branch starts and ends, which is unfortunately not as obvious as one 
might think. E.g. SCCS files are limited to a single branch level and bk 
inherited this, so a branch of 1.2.3.4 is not 1.2.3.4.1.1 but something 
like 1.2.4.1.
Larry, so far I have only stated facts, which are easily verifiable, how 
about you come up with some facts of your own to prove me wrong? If I'm 
just "complaining" and all the information is out there, it should be easy 
for you to do...

Well, I'm not the one who claimed "We don't do lockins.  Period."
I'm just trying to figure out what that means...

Hmm, but it doesn't seem to follow function pointers anyway. Example:

http://www.linuxrd.com/~carl/cgi-bin/lnxtc.pl?file=fs/jbd/transaction.c=do_get_write_access

should contain, among many others, this call chain:

fs/read_write.c:sys_read
  fs/read_write.c:vfs_read
fs/ext3/file.c:ext3_file_operations.read =
fs/read_write.c:do_sync_read
  fs/ext3/file.c:ext3_file_operations.aio_read =
  mm/filemap.c:generic_file_aio_read
mm/filemap.c:__generic_file_aio_read
  include/linux/fs.h:do_generic_file_read
mm/filemap.c:do_generic_mapping_read
  include/linux/fs.h:file_accessed
include/linux/fs.h:touch_atime
  fs/inode.c:update_atime
include/linux/fs.h:mark_inode_dirty_sync
  fs/fs-writeback.c:__mark_inode_dirty
fs/ext3/super.c:ext3_sops.dirty_inode =
fs/ext3/inode.c:ext3_dirty_inode
  include/linux/ext3_jbd.h:ext3_journal_get_write_access
fs/jbd/transaction.c:journal_get_write_access
  fs/jbd/transaction.c:do_get_write_access

Note the three functions pointers that were used in this. This kind
of construct is extremely common in the kernel, and it's usually the
main source of confusion that will actually make one want to use a
call chain discovery tool.

I see that you're handling inline functions correctly.

Another thing that seems to be missing are macros. E.g. this query

http://www.linuxrd.com/~carl/cgi-bin/lnxtc.pl?file=include/linux/seqlock.h=seqcount_init

should probably have found the reference in fs.h (it's somewhat
obscured by #ifdefs, so, depending on how your tree was set up,
the response may actually be correct). Also, this query should have
returned something:

http://www.linuxrd.com/~carl/cgi-bin/lnxtc.pl?file=include/linux/blkdev.h=blk_queue_plugged

Since the call trees fan out very quickly (in either direction), I
think an interactive browser that lets you select which branch(es)
to follow (while remembering the chain you've already visited) would
be more useful than a huge dump that may require significant
post-processing.

It would also be nice to be able to go both ways, from called to
caller, and from caller to called. Again, the tricky bit here are
the function pointers.

I think that a tool that can handle the most common idioms found in
the kernel would be very useful.

Looks fine now. Hmm, wait a sec... Don't we also need kill_fasync calls in

IIRC currently if both msdos and vfat are compiled in (not modules), and 
you try to mount a vfat filesystem without explicitly specifying the fs 
type, it will be mounted with the msdos type. With the, it will mounted 
vfat.

Yeah, but the link order could be changed... Patch inlined.

hi,
I found an older version of this patch (against 2.4.22) on some

(and now 2.4.28). It works fine for me on a ASUS P4P800-Deluxe with 
4x 300GB disks.

Maybe someone finds this patch helpful. Any reason why the original 
patch did not make it into the kernel ?

Why not add it to the existing via82cxxx driver, and get better 
performance and device tuning?
OK, the attached patch adds support for the VIA 6410 chip to the 
via82cxxx driver (instead of the generic driver).
I've tested it on the board mentioned above. Works fine for me.

[rfc][patch] ide: fix unneeded LBA48 taskfile registers access

2005-02-06 Thread Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

[ against ide-dev-2.6 tree, boot tested on LBA48 drive ]

This small patch fixes unneeded writes/reads to LBA48 taskfile registers
on LBA48 capable disks for following cases:

* Power Management requests
  (WIN_FLUSH_CACHE[_EXT], WIN_STANDBYNOW1, WIN_IDLEIMMEDIATE commands)
* special commands (WIN_SPECIFY, WIN_RESTORE, WIN_SETMULT)
* Host Protected Area support (WIN_READ_NATIVE_MAX, WIN_SET_MAX)
* /proc/ide/ SMART support (WIN_SMART with SMART_ENABLE,
  SMART_READ_VALUES and SMART_READ_THRESHOLDS subcommands)
* write cache enabling/disabling in ide-disk
  (WIN_SETFEATURES with SETFEATURES_{EN,DIS}_WCACHE)
* write cache flushing in ide-disk (WIN_FLUSH_CACHE[_EXT])
* acoustic management in ide-disk
  (WIN_SETFEATURES with SETFEATURES_{EN,DIS}_AAM)
* door (un)locking in ide-disk (WIN_DOORLOCK, WIN_DOORUNLOCK)
* /proc/ide/hd?/identify support (WIN_IDENTIFY)

Patch adds 'unsinged long flags' to ide_task_t and uses ATA_TFLAG_LBA48
flag (from ) to indicate need of accessing LBA48 taskfile
registers.

Re: Problem in accessing executable files

2005-02-06 Thread Vineet Joglekar

Hi John,



Thanks for suggesting the single / few bytes encryption test. I tried doing 
that, but in vain. Maybe I am going wrong somewhere else.



I will briefly tell the functions I have written and the sequence if I am doing 
any mistake in the logic, please let me know.

In file.c I have added the info about the functions my_generic_file_read and 
my_generic_file_write in ext2_file_operations.



For decrypting, the sequence is:

my_generic_file_read ---> my_do_generic_file_read ---> my_file_read_actor ---> 
my_decrypt_data



I have not made any changes in my_generic_file_read  and 
my_do_generic_file_read. In the function my_file_read_actor, I copy the page to 
my buffer (1 page - allocated at the time of mounting) I decrypt that buffer 
and pass it to the __copy_to_user() function.



for encrypting, the sequence is:

my_generic_file_write ---> my_encrypt_data



In function my_generic_file_write, between functions __copy_from_user() and 
commit_write(), I am calling my_encrypt_data() by passing address of the page 
that is passed to __copy_from_user()



My encrypt / decrypt routine is very basic at this time - just xoring every 
byte of the page as:

*to = *to ^ 0xff; *to++;



If I change my encrypt/decrypt routines to encrypt / decrypt just first or last 
byte of the page, then I get a different error saying the file is not 
executable - when I try to execute it. I thought there might be a problem with 
executable header, but I guess when I encrypt last byte of the page, header 
should have been bypassed.



Is it something like, for executables, the data is refered in some other 
functions - that is, before do_generic_file_read geting called?



Thanks and regards,



Vineet

Subject: Re: Problem in accessing executable files



This is just a thought.Text files are better able to handle small 
faults. ie an extra space orcharacters or even an unreadable piece of data 
might not cause the file tobecome unreadable by most text editors.  Binary 
files aren't as flexible.Every bit could be an instruction to the processor 
and might cause a segfault.Just to test the theory, I would start 
by making the encrypt decryptfunction only effect the first byte.  If doing 
this doesn't cause a segfault, I would recheck my decrypt encrypt algorithm 
to make sure it doesn'tpad or expand at any point. maybe use them on a 
regular file and the anmd5sum on the file before and after, just to make 
extra sure.- Original Message - From: "Vineet Joglekar"

Thank you very much for the pointers. I had just reached the 
same conclusion this afternoon, when pissed off by finding the 
CPU was at 85 C despite the fans being on at the max I did 
exactly what you suggest; although I didn't find any dust 
bunny, a thorough cleanup and blowing plus some toothpicking of 
hair and whatnot, I find myself with a computer that is running 
finely --again :)

Too bad, I'll need another excuse to buy myself the new hard disk ...

What about the sensors?

I sent this patch to linux-dvb-maintainer (linux-dvb is useless for me

If the mail bounces because it wasn't able for the MTA to establish an

I'm sending small patches for many different areas of the kernel, and I

Another way forward (somewhat hacky in one sense, but a lot cleaner in another)

This may cause issues for some other drivers however where
we have an old and a new driver with ID overlap.
This sounds like it would allow the use of the parallel ATA interfaces
on SATA controllers, which would make a lot of people happy.

   Behavior is unchanged because:

 is not called et all

 for a drive and this range will be found by kobj_lookup()

   and see drivers/base/map.c.

   This patch makes it possible to move drive->disk allocation from

Great, that definitely fixes the local address problem.

I'm not sure about anycast routes though.  Who's going to delete them
when the real device goes down?

Have you ever considered asking on the linux-dvb mailing list for a more 
recent address? stop trolling and do something useful. please.

Bounces are sometimes temporary, contacting linux dvb developers is 
usually easiest over the linux-dvb mailing list. Subscribe there if you

It was Urban, actually.  Memory fails me.

It won't work properly for crypto transformations - iirc we decided it

[PATCH 2.6] I2C: New chip driver: sis5595 (resubmit)

2005-02-06 Thread Aurélien Jarno
Hi Greg,

Please find below the new version of the patch against kernel
2.6.11-rc3-mm1 to add the sis5595 driver (sensor part).

As you suggested, I have changed the PCI part of the driver, taking the
via686a driver as an example. I have also changed the comparison of 
jiffies by using time_after.

Please apply.

Thanks,
Aurelien

 That might actually be useful to support some weird hardware.  E.g. I 
have a single-function PCI device which reports as a graphics adapter 
(either VGA or other, depending on the configuration), but besides the 
actual graphics adapter the chip includes a frame grabber, an USB host 
controller, an Ethernet interface, an IEEE 1284 parallel port, an UART, an 
I2C controller and a PS/2 keybard/mouse controller. ;-)  All of these 
mapped with a single PCI BAR; the chip can also be configured for legacy 
mapping of some devices, like the PS/2 stuff.

[OOPS] 2.6.10-ac9 while watching TV and disk IO

2005-02-06 Thread Bodo Eggert
This oops happened while watching TV and burning a CD. Other oopses (I
guess, didn't verify at that time) happened while copying many large
files and watching TV at the same time.

Note1: /proc/ksyms does not exist. What to do?

Note2: ksymoops prints this error message to /dev/stderr:
ksymoops: No such file or directory
   This message should IMO include the file name.

I don't see out-of-file usages... these could be static.

How about: len = min(count, sizeof(tmp) - 1);?

Hi!
You have to use get_cpu() or __smp_processor_id() to avoid this debug 
message.
Have a look at inlcude/linux/smp.h and include/asm-i386/smp.h.

Re: [PATCH] hid-core: Configurable USB HID Mouse Interrupt Polling Interval

2005-02-06 Thread Mikkel Krautz
Thanks for the suggestions. :)

I'm wondering if there perhaps is a more clean way to do this? Perhaps
something that would give the user the possibility to change the
polling interface per device, or something like that, perhaps exported
to sysfs? Though, since you mentioned that the endpoint descriptor
should be considered read only, I guess not.

And oh, would adding other parameters make sense? For instance for
gamepads, joysticks etc.? Also, is there any chance of this getting
into the driver? :)

Thanks,
Mikkel

Since it affects both i386 and x86-64 it should be pushed by the ACPI
people. However it's no bugfix and so definitely nothing for 2.6.11,
so it'll take quite some time anyways.

How did you implement the write?  At the moment the loop driver gets hold 
of both source and destination pages (the latter via grab_cache_page() and 
aops->prepare_write()) and copies/transforms directly from the source to 
the destination page (and then calls commit_write() on the destination 
page).  Did you allocate a buffer for each request, copy/transform to the 
buffer and then submit the buffer via file_operations->write?  That would 
clearly be not very efficient but given fops->write() is not atomic I 
don't see how that could be optimised further...

Perhaps the loop driver should work as is when 
aops->{prepare,commit}_write() are not NULL and should fall back to 
a buffered fops->write() otherwise?

Or have I missed some way in which the fops->write() case can be 
optimized?

Best regards,

Anton

Some more suggestions:

A MODULE_PARM_DESC() would be good, as well as a patch to
kernel-parameters.txt.

Also, it'd be better instead of changing the bInterval in the endpoint
descriptor to change the "interval" variable. This way one wouldn't need
to think about whether the device is Full-speed or High-speed when
setting the parameter. Also the endpoint descriptor should be considered
read only.

Logitech MX-Series "Cruise Control" buttons

2005-02-06 Thread Jeremy Nickurak
I recently posted an update to http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1786 that 
shows the bug escalating on newer hardware, such that there is no 
user-accessable workaround.

It seem that where an MX-series mouse's cruise-control buttons are concerned, 
the mouse (by default) produces two events for each button press: The button 
itself, as well as a scroll event simulating a keyboard-style 
press-delay-repeat cycle on the scroll wheel axis/buttons.

Utilities such as logitech_applet (unmaintained afaict) seem to be able to 
change some settings. For example, on my MX1000 mouse it's able to disable the 
cruise-control scroll button simulation, which would allow me to use the 
buttons as ordinary mouse buttons. What I'd love to do is to be able to disable 
the button's native function and use *only* the cruise-control function, as the 
mouse was intended.

If such a hardware reconfiguration is not possible, perhaps it would be easier 
to leave the mouse in the default configuration, but filter one event or the 
other before it reaches userspace? Or is it more natural to filter out the 
mouse's scroll-simulation, and do a mapping & key-repeat simulation in 
userspace somewhere?

Please CC me in replies.

I'd use lilo in that case. AFAI understood it can start from any device
provided the BIOS can access the boot files. (May require a 5MB /boot 
partition if the disk is larger than the BIOS can access)

If grub parses the partition table, it will do that without any BIOS
support (except maybe for reading the raw data). So even a GPT-aware BIOS
should not change a thing.

It wasn't racy before this patch.  I know that it is like that
in ide_taskfile_ioctl() but it is not an excuse for propagating
the bug.  It can be easily fixed if you use drive_cmd_intr()
instead of task_in_intr() as task->handler.

[2.6 patch] smp{,boot}.c cleanups

2005-02-06 Thread Adrian Bunk
This patch contains the following cleanups on several architectures:
- make some needlessly global code static
- remove the following write-only (except for printk's) variables:
  - cache_decay_ticks
  - smp_threads_ready
  - cacheflush_time

I've only tried the compilation on i386, but I hope all mistakes I made 
are on unimportant architectures.  ;-)

Yes, I do. It's a bug, and will be a hard one to solve. The ioclt()s are
easy, but the event size difference is pretty nasty.

I don't see how that can work for arbitary code executed in some
arbitary mmap. 

Please explain.

But it's for the 99.9% of other users who don't use such
weird third party patches.

My problem is basically that the effort of fixing these
sources seems to be shifted to x86-64 now in mainstream
linux. And I don't like that.

Please just use if (drive->addressing), it is simpler and still correct.
Since we are now using ide_task_t 'high' will be 0 when
ide_id_has_flush_cache() == 0 and drive->addressing == 1
(such combination is unlikely but...).  Also thanks to this change
ide_get_error_location() becomes a really *generic* helper and
can be later used by other code.

comment is wrong and not needed,

void ide_init_flush_task(ide_drive_t *, ide_task_t *);

should be enough


There is one problem left with this change - FLUSH_CACHE_{EXT}
command handling becomes slower for drive's supporting LBA48
(also next patches make ide_{task,cmd}_ioctl() slower).  Why is so?
See do_rw_taskfile(), HOB registers are written/read unconditionally
if (drive->addressing == 1).  This can be fixed by i.e. adding
'unsigned long flags' to ide_task_t and IDE_TASK_LBA48 flag.
BTW this fix is needed also to implement LBA48 optimization for
read/write requests (not writing HOB registers when not needed).

IMHO there are some things worth mentioning in the patch description,
do_rw_taskfile() vs execute_drive_cmd()+ide_cmd() details:
some registers are written now in different order and timeout is bumped
(these changes shouldn't make any harm but I'm paranoid :).

It definitely does have TSC, it is athlon64. It was probably disabled

This change looks very bogus, what are you trying to fix here?

if pty_driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER, a node ptyXY has to be created.
if pty_driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_SLAVE, a node ttyXY has to be created.
See Documentation/devices.txt, line 108ff and 183ff

With your change, the ttyXY becomes ptyXY? Why does that fix anything?

Do you have an outdated udev package with bogus udev.rules?

somehow things got "cleaned up" around 2.6.10-ish to change the
default... it's quite rare so few people noticed. It seems Andi got a
few reports in the last week or so and started investigating.

[1] glibc-2.3.4 kill buggy bins at the load time.
(please look into: elf/dl-load.c, elf/dl-support.c, elf/rtld.c)
This works on i386/PaX systems too (hardware NX isn't required).

[2] `readelf -Wl |grep GNU_STACK` shows RWE ;-)

Please look at this quick example.

# gcc tmp1.c tmp2-invalid.S -o tmp -s
# readelf -Wl tmp

(...)
  GNU_STACK  0x00 0x 0x 0x0 0x0 RWE 0x4
  ^ execstack?
  PAX_FLAGS  0x00 0x 0x 0x0 0x0 0x4
(...)

Now, let's add section note to the asm. file and rebuild.

# gcc tmp1.c tmp2-valid.S -o tmp -s
# readelf -Wl tmp

(...)
  GNU_STACK  0x00 0x 0x 0x0 0x0 RW  0x4
  PAX_FLAGS  0x00 0x 0x 0x0 0x0 0x4
(...)

The execstack req. disappeard (~99% of broken sources).
I get the same effect with fixed cflags and invalid source.

# gcc tmp1.c tmp2-invalid.S -o tmp -s -Wa,--noexecstack
# readelf -Wl tmp

(...)
  GNU_STACK  0x00 0x 0x 0x0 0x0 RW  0x4
  PAX_FLAGS  0x00 0x 0x 0x0 0x0 0x4
(...)

I known several apps that really need executable data/stack (eg. jvm, xorg).
The rest of RWE-marked binaries have IMHO buggy sources.

> It would be fine if there was a compile time error or something,
> but there isn't.

IMHO the `as` should warn about missed (.note.GNU-stack) section.

For MIPS as-option became unused when old binutils versions finally had to
be retired.  Patch looks good to me but since it's sort of a no-op patch I
won't merge it into linux-mips.org but if accepted rather wait until it
comes to me vi Linus's patches, as usual.

I thought about that, but no normal user program uses brk() natively. They 
all just use "malloc()" and friends, and pretty much every implementation 
of those in turn just mixes brk/anon-mmap freely.

Verified.  2.6.11-rc3-bk2 does indeed build, and the result is chugging 
through my big compile script.  It seems to be working fine, although ye olde 
display glitch is still there:

Someone will fix them, but it's not the job of the 32bit emulation
of x86-64 to break compatibility. It's whole point is to be compatible,
not expose bugs.

If someone else wants to break existing programs they can 
do that if they think they have the capability to deal
with (rightfully) annoyed user space people. 

But not with x86-64 compat mode leading the front here.

The thing I'm annoyed about is that all the testing for this
change seems to go towards the x86-64 32bit emulation
(because effectively near nobody uses 32bit PAE+NX right now) 

And the main job of the 32bit emulation is not to prove 
as a testing ground for experimental stuff, but to be compatible.

And changes like this break it and cause me a lot of additional work.

Here's a slightly different patch to only turn it off for 32bit x86-64.

If the 32bit experimental security people can get their stuff tested
properly and 32bit NX CPUs are actually used widely 
and all the third party sources fixed I can probably follow in a few months. 

But I really don't have the capacity to track third party software fixes for 
stuff that really has nothing to do with compatible 32bit emulation.

Please consider applying this patch. It only touches x86-64. Thanks:

Always enable PROT_READ implies PROT_EXEC for 32bit programs
running on x86-64.  This reverts behaviour back to what 2.6.9 did.
