b4dc7623c1 [PATCH] libata: modify ata_dev_try_classify
Make ata_dev_try_classify take @r_err to store tf error register value
on completion and return device class instead of directly manipulating
dev->class.  This is preparation for new reset mechanism.

Unlike their older siblings, ICH6 and 7 use different scheme for MAP
VALUE.  This patch makes ata_piix interpret MV properly on ICH6/7.

Pre-ICH6/7

 The value of these bits indicate the address range the SATA port
 responds to, and whether or not the SATA and IDE functions are
 combined.

 000 = Non-combined. P0 is primary master. P1 is secondary master.
 001 = Non-combined. P0 is secondary master. P1 is primary master.
 100 = Combined. P0 is primary master. P1 is primary slave. P-ATA is
       2:0 Map Value secondary.
 101 = Combined. P0 is primary slave. P1 is primary master. P-ATA is
       secondary.
 110 = Combined. P-ATA is primary. P0 is secondary master. P1 is
       secondary slave.
 111 = Combined. P-ATA is primary. P0 is secondary slave. P1 is
       secondary master.

ICH6/7

 Map Value - R/W. Map Value (MV): The value in the bits below indicate
the address range the SATA ports responds to, and whether or not the
PATA and SATA functions are combined. When in combined mode, the AHCI
memory space is not available and AHCI may not be used.

 00 = Non-combined. P0 is primary master, P2 is the primary slave. P1
      is secondary master, P3 is the 1:0 secondary slave (desktop
      only). P0 is primary master, P2 is the primary slave (mobile
      only).
 01 = Combined. IDE is primary. P1 is secondary master, P3 is the
      secondary slave. (desktop only)
 10 = Combined. P0 is primary master. P2 is primary slave. IDE is secondary
 11 = Reserved

Jeff, without this patch, ata_piix misdetects my ICH7's combined mode,

The compat layer timeout handling changes in:

9f72949f67

are busted.  This is most easily seen with an X application
that uses sub-second select/poll timeout such as emacs.  You
hit a key and it takes a second or so before the app responds.

The two ROUND_UP() calls upon entry are using {tv,ts}_sec where it
should instead be using {tv_usec,ts_nsec}, which perfectly explains
the observed incorrect behavior.

da9bb1d27b [PATCH] EDAC: core EDAC support code
This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel.  It requires no core
kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted.

The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com>

  This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC
  has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the
  base kernel.

715b49ef2d [PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations
EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.

9f72949f67 [PATCH] Add pselect/ppoll system call implementation
The following implementation of ppoll() and pselect() system calls
depends on the architecture providing a TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag in the
thread_info.

These system calls have to change the signal mask during their
operation, and signal handlers must be invoked using the new, temporary
signal mask. The old signal mask must be restored either upon successful
exit from the system call, or upon returning from the invoked signal
handler if the system call is interrupted. We can't simply restore the
original signal mask and return to userspace, since the restored signal
mask may actually block the signal which interrupted the system call.

The TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag deals with this by causing the syscall exit
path to trap into do_signal() just as TIF_SIGPENDING does, and by
causing do_signal() to use the saved signal mask instead of the current
signal mask when setting up the stack frame for the signal handler -- or
by causing do_signal() to simply restore the saved signal mask in the
case where there is no handler to be invoked.

The first patch implements the sys_pselect() and sys_ppoll() system
calls, which are present only if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined. That
#ifdef should go away in time when all architectures have implemented
it. The second patch implements TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for the PowerPC
kernel (in the -mm tree), and the third patch then removes the
arch-specific implementations of sys_rt_sigsuspend() and replaces them
with generic versions using the same trick.

The fourth and fifth patches, provided by David Howells, implement
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FR-V and i386 respectively, and the sixth patch
adds the syscalls to the i386 syscall table.

This patch:

Add the pselect() and ppoll() system calls, providing core routines usable by
the original select() and poll() system calls and also the new calls (with
their semantics w.r.t timeouts).

283828f3c1 [PATCH] Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386
Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled:

        [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc
        [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend

It does the following:

 (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386.

 (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.

 (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved
     in current->saved_sigmask.

 (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.

 (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
     rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.

 (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping
     intrinsically.

 (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
     -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
     kernel.

Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place:

 (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being
     ignored; force_sig() takes care of this.

 (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer
     necessary.

(10) Makes do_signal() static.

(11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused
     argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as
     registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S

Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(),
they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take
arguments normally.

This patch depends on sys_rt_sigsuspend patch.

5590ff0d55 [PATCH] vfs: *at functions: core
Here is a series of patches which introduce in total 13 new system calls
which take a file descriptor/filename pair instead of a single file
name.  These functions, openat etc, have been discussed on numerous
occasions.  They are needed to implement race-free filesystem traversal,
they are necessary to implement a virtual per-thread current working
directory (think multi-threaded backup software), etc.

We have in glibc today implementations of the interfaces which use the
/proc/self/fd magic.  But this code is rather expensive.  Here are some
results (similar to what Jim Meyering posted before).

The test creates a deep directory hierarchy on a tmpfs filesystem.  Then
rm -fr is used to remove all directories.  Without syscall support I get
this:

real    0m31.921s
user    0m0.688s
sys     0m31.234s

With syscall support the results are much better:

real    0m20.699s
user    0m0.536s
sys     0m20.149s

The interfaces are for obvious reasons currently not much used.  But they'll
be used.  coreutils (and Jeff's posixutils) are already using them.
Furthermore, code like ftw/fts in libc (maybe even glob) will also start using
them.  I expect a patch to make follow soon.  Every program which is walking
the filesystem tree will benefit.

e2f99018eb [PATCH] exportfs: add find_acceptable_alias helper
find_exported_dentry contains two duplicate loops to find an alias that the
acceptable callback likes.  Split this out to a new helper and switch from
list_for_each to list_for_each_entry to make it more readable.

846f2fcd77 [PATCH] knfsd: Provide missing NFSv2 part of patch for checking vfs_getattr.
A recent patch which checked the return status of vfs_getattr in nfsd,
completely missed the nfsproc.c (NFSv2) part.  Here is it.

This patch moved the call to vfs_getattr from the xdr encoding (at which point
it is too late to return an error) to the call handling.  This means several
calls to vfs_getattr are needed in nfsproc.c.  Many are encapsulated in
nfsd_return_attrs and nfsd_return_dirop.

45bd3b3dff [PATCH] knfsd: Fix some more errno/nfserr confusion in vfs.c
nfsd_sync* return an errno, which usually needs to be converted to an errno,
sometimes immediately, sometimes a little later.

Also, nfsd_setattr returns an nfserr which SHOULDN'T be converted from
an errno (because it isn't one).

Also some tidyups of the form:
  err = XX
  err = nfserrno(err)
and
  err = XX
  if (err)
      err = nfserrno(err)
become
  err = nfserrno(XX)

7fcd53303d [PATCH] nfsd4_lock() returns bogus values to clients
missing nfserrno() in default case of a switch by return value of
posix_lock_file(); as the result we send negative host-endian to clients that
expect positive network-endian, preferably mentioned in RFC...  BTW, that case
is not impossible - posix_lock_file() can return -ENOLCK and we do not handle
that one explicitly.
