[PATCH] ppc32: 8xx avoid icbi misbehaviour in __flush_dcache_icache_phys
On 8xx, in the case where a pagefault happens for a process who's not
the owner of the vma in question (ptrace for instance), the flush
operation is performed via the physical address.
Unfortunately, that results in a strange, unexplainable "icbi"
instruction fault, most likely due to a CPU bug (see oops below).
Avoid that by flushing the page via its kernel virtual address.
`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of
the declaration. This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline
static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in
47 files).
While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace
that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here
and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.
[PATCH] fbdev: update info->cmap when setting cmap from user-/kernelspace.
The fb_info struct, as defined in include/linux/fb.h, contains an element
that is supposed to hold the current color map:
struct fb_cmap cmap; /* Current cmap */
This cmap is currently never updated when either fb_set_cmap() or
fb_set_user_cmap() are called. As a result, info->cmap contains the
default cmap that was set by a device driver/fbcon and a userspace
application using the FBIOGETCMAP ioctl will not always get the *currently*
used color map.
The patch fixes this by making sure the cmap is copied to info->cmap after
it is set correctly. It moves most of the code that is responsible for
setting the cmap to fb_set_cmap() and out of fb_set_user_cmap() to avoid
code-duplication.

[PATCH] fbcon: don't repaint the cursor when it is disabled.
Currently even when the cursor is disabled (`setterm -cursor off`), it is
still repainted as a black rectangle the size of a single char. This can

[PATCH] stale POSIX lock handling
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.
The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2). A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor. I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.
SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.
The trick here is when those locks are released. The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.
There are three cases to consider.
One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it. In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference. For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done. The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.
The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file. One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.
The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process. In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file. For each process, this
degenerates to first case above. However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file. This
lock could block other lock requests.
The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file. This is too long.
The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected. This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.
This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above. A dangling lock
could be reliably generated. When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

Fix debug data in case of an interface-control or channel-control check: don't
log the not yet accumulated interrupt-response-block, but the one we just
received.

The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When
running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but
within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system
appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP
emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

The find_next_{zero}_bit primitives on s390* should never return a bit number
bigger then the bit field size. In the case of a bitfield that doesn't end on
a word boundary, an offset that makes the search start at the last word of the
bit field and the last word doesn't contain any zero/one bits the search is
continued with a call to find_first_bit with a negative size. The search
normally ends pretty quickly because the words following the bit field contain
a mix of zeros and ones. But the bit number that is returned in this case is
too big.
To fix this and additional if to check for this case is needed. To make the
code easier to read I removed the assembler parts from the
find_next_{zero}_bit functions, the C-ified code is as good.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
1000.
