[PATCH] intelfb section fix
On Nov 16 2004 a change to intelfbdrv.c was commited (as part of 0.9.2 it
looks like) that added __initdata to all of the module param variables that
seems to create the opportunity for an oops.
I've recently been chasing an OOPS
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111552250920370&w=2) I
created by reading every file on the /sys file system and I've traced it
back to this code in the intelfbdrv. Though I had root privs in my initial
problem report, it turns out they are un-necessary to generate the oops -
all you've got to do is "cat /sys/module/intelfb/parameters/mode" enough
times and eventually it will oops.
This is because sysfs automatically exports all module_param declarations
to the sysfs file system.. which means those variables can be dynamically
evaluated at any later time, which of course means marking them __initdata
is a bad idea ;).. when they happen to be char *'s it is an especially bad
idea ;).
Applying the patch below clears up the OOPS for me.

Recent kernels occasionally trigger a PMU timeout on some mac laptops,
typically on wakeup from sleep. This seem to be caused by either a too big
latency caused by the cpufreq switch on wakeup from sleep or by an
interrupt beeing lost due to the reset of the interrupt controller done
during wakeup.
This patch makes that code more robust by stopping PMU auto poll activity
around cpufreq changes on machines that use the PMU for such changes (long
latency switching involving a CPU hard reset and flush of all caches) and
by removing the reset of the open pic interrupt controller on wakeup (that
can cause the loss of an interrupt and Darwin doesn't do it, so it must not
be necessary).

[PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scaling
The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global
desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g.,
>192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially
for timer interrupts. 384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable.
All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug",
but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts.
I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts. This
was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code
restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts.
Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as
the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make
scaling even worse).

[PATCH] cpuset exit NULL dereference fix
There is a race in the kernel cpuset code, between the code
to handle notify_on_release, and the code to remove a cpuset.
The notify_on_release code can end up trying to access a
cpuset that has been removed. In the most common case, this
causes a NULL pointer dereference from the routine cpuset_path.
However all manner of bad things are possible, in theory at least.
The existing code decrements the cpuset use count, and if the
count goes to zero, processes the notify_on_release request,
if appropriate. However, once the count goes to zero, unless we
are holding the global cpuset_sem semaphore, there is nothing to
stop another task from immediately removing the cpuset entirely,
and recycling its memory.
The obvious fix would be to always hold the cpuset_sem
semaphore while decrementing the use count and dealing with
notify_on_release. However we don't want to force a global
semaphore into the mainline task exit path, as that might create
a scaling problem.
The actual fix is almost as easy - since this is only an issue
for cpusets using notify_on_release, which the top level big
cpusets don't normally need to use, only take the cpuset_sem
for cpusets using notify_on_release.
This code has been run for hours without a hiccup, while running
a cpuset create/destroy stress test that could crash the existing
kernel in seconds. This patch applies to the current -linus
git kernel.

The original pwc author raised some questions about the reverse
engineering of the decompressor algorithms used in the pwc driver.
Having done some detailed investigation it appears those concerns that
clean room policy was not followed are reasonable. I've also had a
friendly discussion with Philips to ask their view on this.
This removes the problem items of code which reduces the pwc
functionality in the kernel a little but leaves all the framework for
setup that will be needed for decompressors in user space (where they
eventually belong). This change set is designed to be the minimal risk
change set given that 2.6.12 is hopefully close to hand, with a view to
merging the much updated pwc code in 2.6.13 series kernels.
Someone else can then redo the decompressors properly (clean room) in
user space.
Note that while its easy to say that it should have been caught earlier,
but the violation was really only obvious to someone who had access to
both the proprietary source and the 'GPL' source.

Netem works better if there if packets are just queued in the inner discipline
rather than having a separate delayed queue. Change to use the dequeue/requeue
to peek like TBF does.
By doing this potential qlen problems with the old method are avoided. The problems
happened when the netem_run that moved packets from the inner discipline to the nested
discipline failed (because inner queue was full). This happened in dequeue, so the
effective qlen of the netem would be decreased (because of the drop), but there was
no way to keep the outer qdisc (caller of netem dequeue) in sync.
The problem window is still there since this patch doesn't address the issue of
requeue failing in netem_dequeue, but that shouldn't happen since the sequence dequeue/requeue
should always work. Long term correct fix is to implement qdisc->peek in all the qdisc's
to allow for this (needed by several other qdisc's as well).

The same problem should occur on the x86-64 platform.
On the i386 platform, sg_dma_len() returns sg->length, that's why the problem does not occur on an i386.
