Chuck Lever 74eb94f7b8 sg_last() should use unsigned loop index variable
Clean up: fix a mixed sign comparison in sg_last() accidentally
introduced by commit 70eb8040.  The sign of the loop index variable
should match the sign of the "nents" argument.

Alexey Dobriyan e868171a94 De-constify sched.h
[PATCH] De-constify sched.h

This reverts commit a8972ccf00 ("sched:
constify sched.h")

 1) Patch doesn't change any code here, so gcc is already smart enough
    to "feel" constness in such simple functions.
 2) There is no such thing as const task_struct.  Anyone who think
    otherwise deserves compiler warning.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 43cc7380ec [NET] napi: use non-interruptible sleep in napi_disable
The current napi_disable() uses msleep_interruptible() but doesn't

Jeff Garzik de48844398 Permit silencing of __deprecated warnings.
The __deprecated marker is quite useful in highlighting the remnants of
old APIs that want removing.

However, it is quite normal for one or more years to pass, before the
(usually ancient, bitrotten) code in question is either updated or
deleted.

Thus, like __must_check, add a Kconfig option that permits the silencing
of this compiler warning.

This change mimics the ifdef-ery and Kconfig defaults of MUST_CHECK as
closely as possible.

Peter Williams e1d1484f72 sched: reduce balance-tasks overhead
At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both
  move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance()
function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual
functionality.  This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and
internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that
are called with two run queue locks held.

This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these
operations.

Gerrit Renker d8ef2c29a0 [DCCP]: Convert Reset code into socket error number
This adds support for converting the 11 currently defined Reset codes into system
error numbers, which are stored in sk_err for further interpretation.

This makes the externally visible API behaviour similar to TCP, since a client
connecting to a non-existing port will experience ECONNREFUSED.

* Code 0, Unspecified, is interpreted as non-error (0);
* Code 1, Closed (normal termination), also maps into 0;
* Code 2, Aborted, maps into "Connection reset by peer" (ECONNRESET);
* Code 3, No Connection and
  Code 7, Connection Refused, map into "Connection refused" (ECONNREFUSED);
* Code 4, Packet Error, maps into "No message of desired type" (ENOMSG);
* Code 5, Option Error, maps into "Illegal byte sequence" (EILSEQ);
* Code 6, Mandatory Error, maps into "Operation not supported on transport endpoint" (EOPNOTSUPP);
* Code 8, Bad Service Code, maps into "Invalid request code" (EBADRQC);
* Code 9, Too Busy, maps into "Too many users" (EUSERS);
* Code 10, Bad Init Cookie, maps into "Invalid request descriptor" (EBADR);
* Code 11, Aggression Penalty, maps into "Quota exceeded" (EDQUOT)
  which makes sense in terms of using more than the `fair share' of bandwidth.

This fixes a problem when analysing erroneous packets in dccp_v{4,6}_err:
* dccp_hdr_seq currently takes an skb
* however, the transport headers in the skb are shifted, due to the

Rusty Russell 19f1537b7b Lguest support for Virtio
This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices.

We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable
length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and
implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data.

We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host
virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the
host when it changes.

We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early
console output.  We could have another hypercall, but this hack works
quite well.

Rusty Russell 15045275c3 Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.
This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
address.

The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

Rusty Russell 0ca49ca946 Remove old lguest bus and drivers.
This gets rid of the lguest bus, drivers and DMA mechanism, to make
way for a generic virtio mechanism.

Rusty Russell 0a8a69dd77 Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementation
These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors
which want to use a ring for virtio.  Unlike the previous lguest
implementation:

1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements).
2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element.
3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?)
4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate
   cacheline.
5) We do a modulo on a variable.  We could be tricky if we cared.
6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings.

Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM
wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

Rusty Russell 31610434bc Virtio console driver
This is an hvc-based virtio console driver.  It's suboptimal becuase
hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume
that, so it currently polls.

There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc.

Rusty Russell e467cde238 Block driver using virtio.
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.

We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
patch.

Rusty Russell 296f96fcfc Net driver using virtio
The network driver uses two virtqueues: one for input packets and one
for output packets.  This has nice locking properties (ie. we don't do
any for recv vs send).

TODO:
	1) Big packets.
	2) Multi-client devices (maybe separate driver?).
	3) Resolve freeing of old xmit skbs (Christian Borntraeger)

Rusty Russell ec3d41c4db Virtio interface
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms.  It will no-doubt need further enhancement.

The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.

There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.

Rusty Russell 47436aa4ad Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.

2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.

3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
   PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.

4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.

5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
   always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
   before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).

6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
   hypercall give us that, too.
