2010-01-07[IA64] __per_cpu_idtrs[] is a memory hogTony Luck
__per_cpu_idtrs is statically allocated ... on CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4096 systems it hogs 16MB of memory. This is way too much for a quite probably unused facility (only KVM uses dynamic TR registers). Change to an array of pointers, and allocate entries as needed on a per cpu basis. Change the name too as the __per_cpu_ prefix is confusing (this isn't a classic <linux/percpu.h> type object).

2010-01-07drm/i915: Use find_pll function to calculate DPLL setting for LVDS downclockZhao Yakui
For any given clock we can use the find_pll to get the corresponding DPLL setting. It is unnecessary to use the find_reduce_pll callback function to calculate the DPLL parameter for LVDS downclock in order to get the same divider factor(P) for the normal and downclock. In theory when the LVDS downclock is supported by LVDS panel, we should get the same DPLL divider factor(P) for the normal clock and reduced downclock. If we get the diferent divider factor(P) for normal clock and reduced downclock, it means that the found downclock is incorrect and should be discarded. So we should use find_pll callback to calculate the DPLL parameter for the LVDS reduced downclock as for the normal clock. Then we can do the cleanup about find_reduced_pll.

Blackfin needs it own arch specific probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write(). This was moved out of the kgdb code and into the arch/blackfin/maccess.c, because it is a generic kernel api. The arch specific kgdb.c for blackfin was cleaned of all functions which exist in the kgdb core that do the same thing after resolving the probe_kernel_read() and probe_kernel_write().

2010-01-07Input: psmouse - fix Synaptics detection when protocol is disabledDaniel Drake
For configurations where Synaptics hardware is present but the Synaptics extensions support is not compiled in, the mouse is reprobed and a new device is allocated on every suspend/resume. During probe, psmouse_switch_protocol() calls psmouse_extensions() with set_properties=1. This calls the dummy synaptics_init() which returns an error code, instructing us not to use the synaptics extensions. During resume, psmouse_reconnect() calls psmouse_extensions() with set_properties=0, in which case call to synaptics_init() is bypassed and PSMOUSE_SYNAPTICS is returned. Since the result is different from previous attempt psmouse_reconnect() fails and full re-probe happens. Fix this by tweaking the set_properties=0 codepath in psmouse_extensions() to be more careful about offering PSMOUSE_SYNAPTICS extensions.

2010-01-07mv643xx_eth: don't include cache padding in rx desc buffer sizeSaeed Bishara
If NET_SKB_PAD is not a multiple of the cache line size, mv643xx_eth allocates a couple of extra bytes at the start of each receive buffer to make the data payload end up on a cache line boundary. These extra bytes are skb_reserve()'d before DMA mapping, so they should not be included in the DMA map byte count (as the mapping is done starting at skb->data), nor should they be included in the receive descriptor buffer size field, or the hardware can end up DMAing beyond the end of the buffer, which can happen if someone sends us a larger-than-MTU sized packet. This problem was introduced in commit 7fd96ce47ff ("mv643xx_eth: rework receive skb cache alignment", May 6 2009), but hasn't appeared to be problematic so far, probably as the main users of mv643xx_eth all have NET_SKB_PAD == L1_CACHE_BYTES.

2010-01-06ip: fix mc_loop checks for tunnels with multicast outer addressesOctavian Purdila
When we have L3 tunnels with different inner/outer families (i.e. IPV4/IPV6) which use a multicast address as the outer tunnel destination address, multicast packets will be loopbacked back to the sending socket even if IP*_MULTICAST_LOOP is set to disabled. The mc_loop flag is present in the family specific part of the socket (e.g. the IPv4 or IPv4 specific part). setsockopt sets the inner family mc_loop flag. When the packet is pushed through the L3 tunnel it will eventually be processed by the outer family which if different will check the flag in a different part of the socket then it was set.

2010-01-07ARM: S3C64XX: Fix possible clock look in EPLL and MPLL clock chainsBen Dooks
There is a possibility of a loop happening in the PLL output clock chain on the S3C64XX series. clk_mpll's parent was set to be clk_mout_mpll, but this is fed from clk_fout_epll (which is also clk_mpll). clk_mpll is meant to be the output from the MPLL, and clk_mout_mpll is a seperate clock derived from the mux of clk_mpll and clk_fin_mpll and thus should be considered a seperate clock. Anything using clk_mpll directly really should not be relying on this being the clock that is eventually routed to a peripheral, so remove the loop and ensure that the clocks accurately represent the clock chain in the device. The clk_mpll is not being used outside of the s3c6400-clock.c code, so this change should not break anything else. Do the same for the EPLL. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>

2010-01-06NOMMU: Use copy_*_user_page() in access_process_vm()Jie Zhang
The MMU code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm() rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush. This is important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with gdb. So switch the NOMMU code over to do the same. This patch makes the reasonable assumption that copy_from_user_page() won't fail - which is probably fine, as we've checked the VMA from which we're copying is usable, and the copy is not allowed to cross VMAs. The one case where it might go wrong is if the VMA is a device rather than RAM, and that device returns an error which - in which case rubbish will be returned rather than EIO.

2010-01-06NOMMU: Avoiding duplicate icache flushes of shared mapsMike Frysinger
When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it when the map is initially created. The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC. Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the entire region when a bit of it is made executable. However, this also affects the brk area. That will no longer be executable. We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice. The brk area probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is larger than requested.

2010-01-06FDPIC: Respect PT_GNU_STACK exec protection markings when creating NOMMU stackMike Frysinger
The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but then only use the markings in the MMU code path. The NOMMU code path always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call. While this doesn't matter to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless icache flush when starting every FDPIC application. Typically this icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU. In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired (EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not. For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an important difference. It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack. However, this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().
