This patch adds the kernelcore= parameter for x86. Once all patches are applied, a new command-line parameter exist and a new sysctl. This patch adds the necessary documentation. From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64 because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled in an architecture-independent manner. This patch uses common code to handle the kernelcore= parameter. It is only available to architectures that support arch-independent zone-sizing (i.e. define CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP). Other architectures will ignore the boot parameter.

We need to make sure the MD update occurs before we try to process dr-cpu configure requests. MD update and dr-cpu were being processed by seperate threads so that did not happen occaisionally. Fix this by executing all domain services data packets from a single thread, in order. This will help simplify some other things as well. Signed-off-by:

The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits stuck around. This patch removes the few remaining leftovers. The only things left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file and the ioctl number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation. This third (hopefully final) version of the patch doesn't edit the arch/um/config.release file, since Jeff Dike pointed out to me that it should die completely, and asked me to remove it from my patch as he'll send in a seperate patch removing the file completely.

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by:

OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be 32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at if_dqblk structure: struct if_dqblk { __u64 dqb_bhardlimit; __u64 dqb_bsoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curspace; __u64 dqb_ihardlimit; __u64 dqb_isoftlimit; __u64 dqb_curinodes; __u64 dqb_btime; __u64 dqb_itime; __u32 dqb_valid; }; For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44. But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment! Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function, that handles this and related situations.

Continuing the work started in 411f0f3e ... This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without requiring additional code factoring. It also prevents code that calls dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously the code would hit a BUG() at run time. Finally, it allows archs that set !HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.

UML had two wrapper procedures for kmalloc, um_kmalloc and um_kmalloc_atomic because the flag constants weren't available in userspace code. kern_constants.h had made kernel constants available for a long time, so there is no need for these wrappers any more. Rather, userspace code calls kmalloc directly with the userspace versions of the gfp flags. kmalloc isn't a real procedure, so I had to essentially copy the inline wrapper around __kmalloc. vmalloc also had its own wrapper for no good reason. This is now gone. Signed-off-by:

Cleanup of the SIGWINCH support. Some code and comment reformatting. The stack used for SIGWINCH threads was leaked. This is now fixed by storing it with the pid and other information, and freeing it when the thread is killed. If something goes wrong with a WIGWINCH thread, and this is discovered in the interrupt handler, the winch record would leak. It is now freed, except that the IRQ isn't freed. This is hard to do from interrupt context. This has the side-effect that the IRQ system maintains a reference to the freed structure, but that shouldn't cause a problem since the descriptor is disabled. register_winch_irq is now much better about cleaning up after an initialization failure.

If the host side of a console can't be opened, this will now produce visible error messages. enable_chan now returns a status and this is passed up to con_open and ssl_open, which will complain if anything went wrong. The default host device for the serial line driver is now a pts device rather than a pty device since lots of hosts have LEGACY_PTYS disabled. This had always been failing on such hosts, but silently. Signed-off-by:

DEBUG_SHIRQ generates spurious interrupts, triggering handlers such as mconsole_interrupt() or line_interrupt(). They expect data to be available to be read from their sockets/pipes, but in the case of spurious interrupts, the host didn't actually send anything, so UML hangs in read() and friends. Setting those fd's as O_NONBLOCK makes DEBUG_SHIRQ-enabled UML kernels boot and run correctly. Signed-off-by:

It is theoretically possible for a request to finish and be freed between writing it to the I/O thread and updating the sector count. In this case, the update will dereference a freed pointer. To avoid this, I delay the update until processing the next sg segment, when the request pointer is known to be good. Signed-off-by:

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=> register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0. that is too late. Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature. and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically. new command line will be: console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 or earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 it will print in very early stage: Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8') console [uart0] enabled later for console it will print: console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0] Signed-off-by:
