2009-06-13avr32: Fix oops on unaligned user accessHaavard Skinnemoen
The unaligned address exception handler (and others) does not scan the fixup tables before oopsing. This is bad because it means passing a badly aligned pointer from user space might crash the kernel. Fix this by scanning the fixup tables in _exception(). This should resolve the issue for unaligned addresses as well as other less common exceptions that might be happening during a userspace access. The page fault handler already does fixup processing.

2009-06-12PM core: rename suspend and resume functionsAlan Stern
This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core. Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions: device_resume_noirq dpm_resume_noirq device_resume dpm_resume device_complete dpm_complete device_suspend_noirq dpm_suspend_noirq device_suspend dpm_suspend device_prepare dpm_prepare in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list. In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq). Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

2009-06-12PM: Rename device_power_down/up()Magnus Damm
Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up() to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq(). The new function names are chosen to show that the functions are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading. Global function renames: - device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq() - device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq() Static function renames: - suspend_device_noirq() -> __device_suspend_noirq() - resume_device_noirq() -> __device_resume_noirq() Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-06-12lguest: optimize by coding restore_flags and irq_enable in assembler.Rusty Russell
The downside of the last patch which made restore_flags and irq_enable check interrupts is that they are now too big to be patched directly into the callsites, so the C versions are always used. But the C versions go via PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK which saves all the registers. In fact, we don't need any registers in the fast path, so we can do better than this if we actually code them in assembler. The results are in the noise, but since it's about the same amount of code, it's worth applying. 1GB Guest->Host: input(suppressed),output(suppressed) Before: Seconds: 0:16.53 Packets: 377268,753673 Interrupts: 22461,24297 Notifications: 1(5245),21303(732370) Net IRQs triggered: 377023(245),42578(711095) After: Seconds: 0:16.48 Packets: 377289,753673 Interrupts: 22281,24465 Notifications: 1(5245),21296(732377) Net IRQs triggered: 377060(229),42564(711109) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-06-12lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networkingRusty Russell
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable. These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes patch space, so we drop that code. Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest! Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.
