[ACPI] PCI IRQ update (Bjorn Helgaas)
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2574
mp_parse_prt() and iosapic_parse_prt() used to allocate all
IRQs, whether devices needed them or not. Some devices
failed because the this method enabled unused PCI Interrupt
Link Devices, which disrupted active link devices.
Now the PRT knowledge is pulled out of the arch
code and the IRQ allocation and IO-APIC programming
is done by pci_enable_device().
This is also a step toward allowing the addition
of new root bridges and PRTs at run-time.
The architecture supplies
unsigned int
acpi_register_gsi(u32 gsi, int edge_level, int active_high_low)
which is called by acpi_pci_irq_enable(). ACPI supplies
all the information from the PRT, and the arch sets up
the routing and returns the IRQ it allocated.

[NETDRV #2] Use driver-specific name for resources
Here is the next part which uses a driver-specific name instead of
dev->name for resource allocations prior to netdev registration.
It also changes printks that are in direct response to errors in
resource allocations.

[PATCH] ipr duplicate ioa reset fix
This patch closes a window where if a device had a cancel all
outstanding as a result of a check condition and the adapter
was reset for some reason, a request sense would still be issued,
which would end up timing out and issuing an additional adapter
reset. It could also result in a leak of command blocks, depending
on when it timed out.

[PATCH] Stop megaraid trashing other i960 based devices
From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
In 2.4 the megaraid driver was careful to avoid stepping on wrong devices.
Specifically the megaraid3 series devices used an intel pci ID (8086:1960)
which is the generic i960 identifier not their own.
The code to do this in 2.4 worked for almost all cases, but even that code
has
mysteriously vanished in 2.6 meaning the megaraid driver trashes stuff like
promise i2o cards and compaq management cards.
The following patch puts back the 2.4 stuff + one additional check so that
the
driver isn't quite as rude as it was before.

[PATCH] USB: Move usb_new_device() et al. into hub.c
This patch moves usb_new_device(), usb_disconnect(), usb_choose_address(),
and usb_release_address() from usb.c to hub.c. As a side benefit,
choose_address() and release_address() can now become static. The other
two can't, because they have to be exported for use by HCD's when
registering/unregistering root hubs.
Some other features of the patch:
The usb_snddefctrl() and usb_rcvdefctrl() macros have been
removed, since only one of them was used and only in one spot.
The comment about configuration choice needing to interact with
hub power budgeting has been moved in accordance with David's
wish. usb_new_device() checks to make sure a configuration
could be chosen and logs a warning if no choice was made.
Following Linus's preference, the #ifdef preprocessor stuff has
been removed from around the calls the show_string routine. It
is now defined as a non-inline routine when debugging is enabled
and as an inline no-op otherwise (the compiler will optimize
away the useless tests).

- Add struct class::class_dev_attrs to do something similarly for

gets that set of attributes added for them, and subsequently removed
when the device is unregistered.
Each array depends on a terminating attribute with a NULL name. Hint:
use the new __ATTR_NULL macro to terminate it.

So the patch adds the ids for the kyocera and makes the treo_attach

I converted your patch to use the DMA-API. This will be necessary to
use the EISA advansys boards---Of course, EISA won't work properly until
the entire driver is converted to the driverfs probing API, sigh, but
I'll get around to that eventually.
OK, and I couldn't resist getting rid of the stupid in_isr locking on
the done function.

It introduces msecs_to_jiffies() conversions and uses msleep().
It wakes up threads waiting for an endpoint to be disabled
in the oddball case where interrupts aren't working. (This
should have been in a previous patch but I missed it.)
It disables PCI interrupt generation whenever the controller
is reset and enables it when the controller is started. This

[PATCH] USB: Debounce all connect change events
This patch makes the hub driver debounce all connection changes. Right
now the driver only does so if the status happens to be CONNECTED at one
particular instant. However, the whole point of debouncing is that the
connection is subject to transient interruptions until it has stabilized;
hence deciding whether to debounce based on a single initial test defeats
the entire purpose.
There are some additional smaller changes that go along with the major
one:
Comments added to hub_port_connect_change() detailing the
conditions under which it will be called.
Don't clear the port's connect-changed feature if it wasn't
set.
Skip debouncing if there wasn't a physical connection change
but only a logical port-enable change (or a firmware-download-
induced device morph -- not yet implemented).
Clear all the hub status change indicators in hub_events()
before handling a connect change. This will reduce syslog
clutter from status change bits that remain set while khubd
is busy taking care of a new device.
The patch includes no changes to the debounce routine itself. Please
apply.

[PATCH] USB: Superficial improvements to hub_port_debounce()
Since my previous suggestions for changes to hub_port_debounce()
encountered so much resistance, this patch makes some fairly superficial
improvements to the code while leaving the logic of the algorithm almost
completely intact. The only behavioral change is that it actually
requests the port status at the start, rather than assuming the status is
not CONNECTED. Changes include:
Vastly improved comments that are now unambiguous and accurately
descriptive of the code.
Local variables changed to more sensible names. The stability
period is now reported in milliseconds rather than a meaningless
poll count.
The sleep interval is moved from the start of the loop to the
end, so that the first time through we read the port status
immediately.
If the connection has not stabilized after the total timeout
expires, -ETIMEDOUT is returned rather than whatever the
current connect status happens to be.
If the connection does stabilize then the port status is returned
so that hub_port_connect_change() will have an up-to-date value
for the status rather than relying on the pre-debounce value.
The changes I wanted to make but other people were worried about are
included as comments. A later (small) patch will uncomment them for
testing.

[PATCH] USB: Genuine changes to hub_port_debounce()
This patch includes the algorithmic changes I would like to see in
hub_port_debounce(). They are:
Increase the total timeout period from 400 ms to 1500 ms.
Check the port's connect-changed status during the polling
loop.
Return as soon as the connection has been stable for the
required time, even if it has been stably _dis_-connected.
(The current code waits for the full timeout period if there
isn't a connection.)
In previous emails I have responded to all the concerns raised by others
about these changes, and I can't imagine how they could cause any trouble.
Increasing the total timeout won't affect people with properly
functioning hardware. Their connections will quickly stabilize
and the routine will return just as before. People with flaky
hardware that takes a long time to settle down will now be able
to use their devices.
Checking the connect-changed status during the polling loop will
make the test more conservative. The code will be able to
detect transient disconnections that it would have missed
before, and it won't return until the connection really _is_
stable. Furthermore, this makes the test compliant with the
USB specification, which requires the stability timer to be
restarted whenever a connection change occurs.
Returning early for disconnections is a simple optimization.
It's more important now that the total timeout length is 1.5
seconds rather than 0.4 seconds.
I urge you to apply this patch and for people to try it out. If there do
turn out to be problems... the patch is very small, well-contained, and
easy to revert.

[PATCH] Module section offsets in /sys/module
So here I am trying to write about how one can apply gdb to a running
kernel, and I'd like to tell people how to debug loadable modules. Only
with the 2.6 module loader, there's no way to find out where the various
sections in the module image ended up, so you can't do much. This patch
attempts to fix that by adding a "sections" subdirectory to every module's
entry in /sys/module; each attribute in that directory associates a
beginning address with the section name. Those attributes can be used by a
a simple script to generate an add-symbol-file command for gdb, something
like:
#!/bin/bash
#
# gdbline module image
#
# Outputs an add-symbol-file line suitable for pasting into gdb to examine
# a loaded module.
#
cd /sys/module/$1/sections
echo -n add-symbol-file $2 `/bin/cat .text`
for section in .[a-z]* *; do
if [ $section != ".text" ]; then
echo " \\"
echo -n " -s" $section `/bin/cat $section`
fi
done
echo
Currently, this feature is absent if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set. I do
wonder if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO might not be a better choice, now that I think
about it. Section names are unmunged, so "ls -a" is needed to see most of
them.

stalls with error -3.
2. Removed some usb_clear_halt() lines. Without this, the device doesn't even
open and returns -7.

[PATCH] ia64: fix ia32 virtual memory leaks due to partial-page mappings
Certain IA-32 applications which do mmap/munmaps which are not
PAGE_SIZE aligned could see temporary (recovered at process exit time)
memory leaks, because the kernel didn't have enough data to decide if
the complete page could be unmapped. This patch adds a new data
structure called the "partial page list" which helps the kernel keep
track of precisely which 4k pages are in use by the IA-32 application.
Armed with this data, the kernel can make better decisions at munmap
and mprotect time. No significant performance degradation was observed
in the workloads we tested and in some cases, the performance actually
improved! This is possibly due to the reduced length of the vma list.

[PATCH] USB: Fix resource leakage in the hub driver
The hub driver is very careless about returning resources when an error
occurs while installing a new device. This patch attempts to put some
order back into the situation. Details:
Since usb_new_device() allocates neither the device structure
nor the device address, it shouldn't release either one.
Because usb_new_device() no longer releases the device structure,
usb_register_root_hub() doesn't need to take an extra reference
to it.
Since the device address selection and TT setup code is used
only for new devices, not ones being reset, move that code from
hub_port_init() to hub_port_connect_change(). By the same token,
hub_port_init() doesn't have to release the device address or
the device structure.
Just to make things look better, move the failure code in
hub_port_init() to the end of the routine. And when disabling
endpoint 0, disable both the IN and OUT parts of the endpoint.
In hub_port_connect_change(), make all the failure paths
execute the same code so that resources are always released.
These resources comprise: the pointer from the parent to the
new child device, the HCD state for ep0, the device's address,
and the device structure itself -- in short, everything that's
set up before calling usb_new_device().

[PATCH] USB: rndis (1/4) update OID support
NDIS devices have a generic attribute get/set API where the attributes
are identified by 32 bit "OIDs". This fixes some problems with the OIDs
supported by the original RNDIS patch:
- It included OIDs not found in the RNDIS spec. These have been
removed. As a rule, these weren't exported in the "OIDs I support"
list, and only a couple wouldn't fail those accesses, so this mostly
changes what debug printk appears.
- OIDs used for optional 802.3 statistics were partially supported.
They're all in the OID list now, but the support is #ifdeffed out.
(Those statistics were mostly just made up, anyway!)
- "Required" OIDs for suspend, resume, and wakeup support weren't
listed. Their messages are now defined, but support is #ifdeffed
out. Seems the docs aren't entirely accurate, and Windows can
behave reasonably without them. (This area needs help from someone
who knows MS-Windows power management.)
There are also a few minor cleanups, more reasonable default volume level
for debug messages (never at KERN_INFO, keepalives only if VERBOSE), and
dumping of all bytes of some undocumented messages Windows XP has been
seen emitting shortly before the host suspended itself.

[PATCH] USB: Fix bus-list root-hub race
There are a few places where the code enumerates through all the USB
devices on all the buses, starting with each bus's root hub and working
down. However a bus does not always have a root hub, and the code does
not check that the root_hub pointer is non-NULL. This patch fixes the
problem, using the usb_bus_list_lock semaphore to synchronize access when
root hubs are added or removed.
In addition it seemed like a good idea to minimize the time that a
non-fully-configured root hub is accessible through the bus's pointer. So
this patch delays setting the pointer and holds usb_bus_list_lock while
configuring a root hub.
It turned out that a bunch of things needed to be changed for all this to
work:
Check for NULL root_hub pointer in usb_device_read() and
usb_find_device().
Pass the root-hub device as a separate argument to
hcd_register_root().
Make usb_register_root_hub() acquire the usb_bus_list_lock and
set the bus->root_hub pointer.
For consistency's sake, move the place where the children[]
pointer to a non-root-hub device gets stored as close as possible
to where usb_new_device() is called.
Make usb_disconnect() acquire the usb_bus_list_lock when removing
a root hub.
Change usb_hcd_pci_remove() and the non-PCI host drivers so that
they call usb_disconnect() with a pointer to the bus's root_hub
pointer, not a pointer to a temporary variable.
Change all the host controller drivers not to store the root_hub
pointer in the bus structure but instead to pass it as a new
argument to hcd_register_root().
I made some attempt to update the hc_sl811 driver along with the rest, but
it's pretty clear that driver won't work in the current framework. Among
other things, it never reads the root hub's device descriptor. To what
extent is the driver really supported?

requirements are listed too, though they aren't all

Fulfill the new locking requirement in hcd_panic().
Remove unneeded local variables to conserve stack space in
usb_disconnect(), which calls itself recursively.
In hub_port_connect_change(), store the parent's children[]
pointer as late as possible and don't lock the new device until
then (that's when it becomes globally accessible). This will
minimize the time that the not-fully-configured device structure
is visible to other parts of the kernel.

[PATCH] ia64: fix race in fsys_bubble_down to avoid fp-register corruption
The fast system-call fall-back-path has a race: it reads PSR, modifies
some bits, then writes back the new PSR. Unfortunately, the contents
of PSR may change between reading and writing it. For example, an
interrupt could occur which could trigger a context-switch. The
context-switch might in turn flush the floating-point-high (FPH)
partition to memory, clear PSR.MFH, and set PSR.DFH. To prevent this
race, the patch below turns off PSR.I before reading PSR.
This fixes a floating-point corruption problem that was observed on a
system with a libc which has the fast system-call support enabled.
The performance impact is minimal (on the order of a handful of cycles).

[PATCH] fealnx-mac-address-and-other-issues.patch
(resend - I need to get this out of my tree my one means or another..)
From: "SuD (Alex)" <sud@latinsud.com>
I recently was given a surecom 10/100 ethernet card and found that i could
not change Mac address for it as other driver/devices allow. I tried to
implement the missing feature and noticed that the device is quite peculiar
(or either my system is broken), when trying to fill mac address registers
(no matter whether io_ops is set): - If I write a byte (writeb) to an even
i/o address it seems like actually a word was written (the next byte is set
to 0). - If I write a byte to an odd i/o address my pc gets bad freezed.
That made think of writing 16bit words (writew) for the memory address, as
opposed to what most driver examples do. It works for me (I hope i set the
lines at the right place in device_open function after the device is
reset). I hope the code is clean enough and does not mess with byte
ordering. This is the patch (this time against 2.6.5):
(akpm: Is this right on big-endian?)

[PATCH] USB: Mark devices as NOTATTACHED as soon as possible
This patch implements something we've been lacking for a long time: a way
to mark devices as USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED as soon as we know that they're
gone. The usb_device->state member is no longer protected by the
->serialize semaphore; instead there's a new private spinlock. Usbcore
routines should no longer set ->state directly; instead they should use
the new utility routine usb_set_device_state(). There are protections
against changing states while devices are being added or removed.
Change assignments to udev->state into calls of
usb_set_device_state().
Add new private device_state_lock to the hub driver, along
with usb_set_device_state() and recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED().
Acquire the new spinlock while adding or removing children[]
pointers.
When disabling a port that has a child device, mark the child
as NOTATTACHED.

I made changes to rpaphp code, so it can handle multi-fuction

changed pci_dev (a single pci_dev type pointer) to pci_funcs( a list of
pci_dev type pointers). I rewrote some of the config/unconfig code to
support the slot struct change.
Along with above changes, I added LDRSLOT(logical I/O slot) support.
We need LDRSLOT support for DLPAR I/O. A card in a LDRSLOT can't be
physically removed, but can be logically removed from one partiton and
reassinged to another partition.

When a node is added to sysfs (e.g. a device plugged in via USB), the

takes care of that. Instead of using simple_link from fs/libfs.c on

[PATCH] USB Storage: INQUIRY fixup, mode-sense options, Genesys devices
This patch does a few things (all in the same section of code). It started
life as patches as226b, as280, and as275. Later it was merged into as226e
and I added significantly to it.
First, this patch introduces a new config option to allow people to enable
write-protect detection for their USB devices. With some luck, we've
finally got it right and can eventually remove this option in favor of
enabling this behavior all the time.
Next, we change how we force some flags on -- it turns out that there are
some 'generic' entries in the SCSI devinfo which was overriding us when we
didn't want it.
Finally, we add a safety check to the workaround for GeneSys Logic devices
-- if the max_sectors parameter has already been turned down, we won't turn

[PATCH] USB Storage: Fix race when removing the SCSI host
This patch fixes a race is disconnecting a usb-storage device that occurs
with the SCSI layer. It's primarily reproducable via adding delays into
various disconnect and reset processing paths, but has also been
encountered in the field.
This patch started life as as281b, and was modified by me only to patch
properly against current kernels.
The main features of the patch are:
Store the host pointer at the start of the control thread
rather than trying to get it from srb->device; after the host
is removed the SCSI device structure may no longer exist.
Keep dev_semaphore locked during the entire time the control
thread or reset handlers are using the us_data structure.
Reorder the items in dissociate_dev() and release_resources()
so that things are released in the opposite order from the way
they were acquired originally. Don't bother to increment and
decrement the usb_device's reference count; it's unnecessary.
In disconnect(), first set the DISCONNECTING flag so that no
more I/O will take place and no more requests will be accepted.
Next, cut short the current command and wait for it to finish.
Then call scsi_remove_host(). The SCSI core guarantees that
when scsi_remove_host() returns, the host will not be in error
recovery and all outstanding commands will have been cancelled.
Remove some old useless left-over code that was #if'ed out.
Use a wait_queue for the 6-second delay during device resets
so that we can be woken up in the middle if a disconnect occurs.
The key point here is that after scsi_remove_host(), everything is idle as
far as the SCSI midlayer is concerned. But if there was a command in
progress at the time, the midlayer will abort it without telling us or
waiting for it to complete. Hence we have to wait for the control thread
to be idle before we can try to kill it. This should happen quickly,
since all I/O attempted by the thread will fail immediately.

JFS: Don't allow reading beyond the inode map's EOF
If we try to read inodes that are beyond the size of the inode map,
__read_metapages would read unitialized pages into the inode map's
address space. If the inode map is later grown in order to allocate
more inodes, the page is initialized and written under a different
address space. Having the stale page in the page cache prevents the
properly initialized page from being read, and results in errors.
This problem can be provoked by an nfs client trying to read an inode
that does not exist.

[libata] don't probe from workqueue
Since we want the probe phase to call other workqueues, this is
required to eliminate future deadlocks.
Other methods would include starting a single-shot thread just for
probing, but overall, using a separate thread for probing is pointless
since we are already in process context when we probe.
So, we simply call ata_bus_probe directly.

[PATCH] USB: Remove private khubd semaphore
This patch removes the private semaphore used by the hub driver, and uses
the regular "serialize" semaphore instead. This will satisfy the general
locking requirements for adding and removing devices attached to the hub.
The only tricky aspect is that now the hub event handler must take a
reference to the hub device while waiting to acquire the semaphore, in
case the hub is disconnected during the wait.
The patch also replaces a few occurrences of spin_lock_irqsave() in
regions where interrupts are known to be enabled with spin_lock_irq().

[libata] PCI IDE DMA code shuffling
PCI IDE DMA standard (or "bmdma") helper routines ata_bmdma_stop,
ata_bmdma_ack_irq, and ata_bmdma_status are added to linux/libata.h,
and used in libata-core.
There is a minor behavior change, such that, the Alt Status register
is read before acknowledging the bmdma interrupt. This should be ok,
and furthermore there will be more significant behavior changes
in this area coming soon.
<jgarzik@pobox.com>
[libata] PCI IDE command-end/irq-acknowledge cleanup
Restruct default irq handler (used for many PCI IDE-like SATA
controllers) to obtain device status and acknowledge interrupts
a bit differently.
In an attempt to better attack the "ich5 screaming interrupt" problem,
acknowledge and clear the device's INTRQ by reading the Status register
_before_ ack'ing the controller's irq status. This is a deviation
from how the Linux IDE driver acknowledges interrupts, but it may
be the best method, since the ICH5 appears to continue to assert
the interrupt bit in the BMDMA until the device INTRQ line is cleared.
Of course, SATA has no INTRQ line per se, so ICH5 essentially has
new interrupt behavior not seen before in the PCI IDE world, while
pretending that it's compatible with PCI IDE. Sigh.
This change affects all SATA controllers (for which there are libata
drivers) except for sata_promise and sata_sx4.

NTFS: - Add new element itype.index.collation_rule to the ntfs inode
structure and set it appropriately in ntfs_read_locked_inode().
- Implement a new inode type "index" to allow efficient access to the
indices found in various system files and adapt inode handling
accordingly (fs/ntfs/inode.[hc]). An index inode is essentially an
attribute inode (NInoAttr() is true) with an attribute type of
AT_INDEX_ALLOCATION. As such, it is no longer allowed to call
ntfs_attr_iget() with an attribute type of AT_INDEX_ALLOCATION as
there would be no way to distinguish between normal attribute inodes
and index inodes. The function to obtain an index inode is
ntfs_index_iget() and it uses the helper function
ntfs_read_locked_index_inode(). Note, we do not overload
ntfs_attr_iget() as indices consist of multiple attributes so using
ntfs_attr_iget() to obtain an index inode would be confusing.

[ARM] Add clock API
Since peripheral clocks are be derived in SoC or even platform
specific ways, we need a way to keep this information out of the
drivers. AMBA Primecells are defined in terms of functional units
where clocks are derived from external sources, and it is up to the
SoC designer to determine where to derive those clocks from.
Therefore, we provide a very basic API which allows platforms to
provide this information in a generic manner to their peripherals.
This framework also allows peripherals to shut down unused clock
sources when they're not in use.

SDRAM
Patch from Marc Singer
[if's replaced by ifdef's.]
While the BLOB boot loader doesn't support it, there are two others,
UBOOT and Logic's LOLO, that will initialize the SDRAM controller such
that the memory appears as a contiguous region. This layout to be
required for WinCE and, thus, is the default for these loaders. The
memory organization had been optimized for discontiguous blocks. Now,
it supports a default mode that is compatible with all of the
bootloaders as well as options to optimize for either contiguous or
discontiguous models.
Withing, there is also a slight change to the way that the DEBUG_LL
macros select the UART address. Now it uses immediate constants
exclusively.

This is a resend of an earlier patch to dst_dev_event. I've changed
it slightly by moving the input/output assignment into dst_ifdown.
To recap, this patch drops lingering IPsec references to a device that
is being unregistered. The child processing in the GC is too late
since it never runs until the reference on the dst hits zero which
could take a long time for things like TCP connections.
The reason I've left the input/output assignment outside the loop is
because they aren't really necessary for the IPsec dst's, and if
it were in the loop then we'll have to do the same child processing
in ___dst_free as well.

[ACPI] Fix a lockup which Sid Boyce <sboyce@blueyonder.co.uk>
discovered with IOAPIC disabled.
The problem was that drivers/serial/8250_acpi.c found COM1 in the ACPI
namespace and called acpi_register_gsi() to set up its IRQ. ACPI tells us
that the COM1 IRQ is edge triggered, active high, but acpi_register_gsi()
was ignoring the edge_level argument, so it blindly set the COM1 IRQ to be
level-triggered.

[PATCH] USB: Only process ports with change events pending
This patch adds a bit-array to the hub driver's private data structure,
used for storing the contents of the hub's interrupt status message. That
message indicates which ports have events pending (and whether the hub
itself has events pending). By only polling the status of the ports
listed in the bit-array we can save a fair amount of overhead in hub
communication.
(The #error test added to hub.h is a little awkward, but it's purely
precautionary -- it won't matter until someone decides to support hubs
with more than 31 ports!)
Also included in the patch, since this seemed the perfect opportunity for
it, is Byron's suggestion for handling hub events in the order in which
they were received.

[PATCH] ppc64: Optimize exception/syscall entry/exit
This rewrites the PPC64 exception entry/exit routines to make them
smaller and faster.
In particular we no longer save all of the registers for the common
exceptions - system calls, hardware interrupts and decrementer (timer)
interrupts - only the volatile registers. The other registers are saved
and restored (if used) by the C functions we call. This involved
changing the registers we use in early exception processing from r20-r23
to r9-r12, which ended up changing quite a lot of code in head.S.
Overall this gives us about a 20% reduction in null syscall time.
Some system calls need all the registers (e.g. fork/clone/vfork and
[rt_]sigsuspend). For these the syscall dispatch code calls a stub that
saves the nonvolatile registers before calling the real handler.
This also implements the force_successful_syscall_return() thing for
ppc64.

[PATCH] mm: flush TLB when clearing young
Traditionally we've not flushed TLB after clearing the young/referenced bit,
it has seemed just a waste of time. Russell King points out that on some
architectures, with the move from 2.4 mm sweeping to 2.6 rmap, this may be a
serious omission: very frequently referenced pages never re-marked young, and
the worst choices made for unmapping.
So, replace ptep_test_and_clear_young by ptep_clear_flush_young throughout
rmap.c. Originally I'd imagined making some kind of TLB gather optimization,
but don't see what now: whether worth it rather depends on how common
cross-cpu flushes are, and whether global or not.
ppc and ppc64 have already found this issue, and worked around it by
arranging
TLB flush from their ptep_test_and_clear_young: with the aid of pgtable rmap
pointers. I'm hoping ptep_clear_flush_young will allow ppc and ppc64 to
remove that special code, but won't change them myself.
It's worth noting that it is Andrea's anon_vma rmap which makes the vma
available for ptep_clear_flush_young in page_referenced_one: anonmm and
pte_chains would both need an additional find_vma for that.

[PATCH] Handle non-readable binfmt_misc executables
<background>
I work in a group that works on enabling the IA-32 Execution Layer
(http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20040113c...) on Linux.
In a few words - this is a dynamic translator for IA-32 binaries on IPF
platform. Following David Mosberger's advice - we use the binfmt_misc
mechanism for the invocation of the translator whenever the user tries to
exec an IA-32 binary.
The EL is meant to help in the migration path from IA-32 to IPF. From our
beta customers we learnt that at first stage - they tend to keep their
environment mostly intact, using the legacy IA-32 binaries.
Such an environment has, naturally, setuid and non-readable binaries. It
will be useless to ask the administrator to change the settings of such an
environment - some of them are very complex, and the administrators are
reluctant to make any changes i
