467c378 Paul Mackerras 30 August 2006, 06:10:47 UTC [POWERPC] Fix irq enable/disable in smp_generic_take_timebase Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without restoring them. However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled. This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore.

e0d872d Paul Mackerras 30 August 2006, 05:55:32 UTC [POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platforms This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593e2ff69f2b95f9d59229dc4faaa564d. The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in time not advancing. This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms. With this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy, so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead. This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used when calculating the time of day.

006b64d Benjamin Herrenschmidt 25 August 2006, 04:46:23 UTC [POWERPC] Make OF irq map code detect more error cases Device-tree bugs on js20 with some versions of SLOF were causing the interrupt for IDE to not be parsed correctly and fail to boot. This patch adds a bit more sanity checking to the parser to detect some of those errors and fail instead of returning bogus information. The powerpc PCI code can then trigger a fallback that works on those machines.

7233593 Zang Roy-r61911 25 August 2006, 04:16:30 UTC [POWERPC] Support for "weird" MPICs and fixup mpc7448_hpc2 This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register layouts and hardware behaviours. This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD. For boards with non standard mpic controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information in the mpic_infos[] array. TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information table. :) The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and behavior. The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic. If CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to the current code. [benh@kernel.crashing.org: This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices. ] Signed-off-by: Roy Zang <tie-fei.zang@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 30 August 2006, 04:29:42 UTC

As a temporary fix, I put a spinlock in there. However, this can have a significant impact on performances. This patch reworks that to use a smarter technique based on the fact that what we need is in fact a rwlock with extremely rare writers (thus optimized for the read path).

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled. The slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary. The free path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers. With slab debugging turned on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not. This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK. The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable cache types. Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of the huge pte pointer.

Some of the masks we use in checking whether the offending instruction is one we care about didn't have the top bit set, which is the MSB of the major opcode. Thus some undefined opcodes could get emulated as other (defined but unimplemented) instructions. This corrects the masks.

5db9fa9 Nathan Lynch 23 August 2006, 01:36:05 UTC [POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can cause incorrect results to be returned. The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the timer interrupt: 1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb() 2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset, which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure with a greater timebase value. 3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the negative result from tb_val - temp_varp->tb_orig_stamp. The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.

83db3dd Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 11 August 2006, 11:31:34 UTC [POWERPC] kprobes: Fix possible system crash during out-of-line single-stepping - On archs that have no-exec support, we vmalloc() a executable scratch area of PAGE_SIZE and divide it up into an array of slots of maximum instruction size for that arch - On a kprobe registration, the original instruction is copied to the first available free slot, so if multiple kprobes are registered, chances are, they get contiguous slots - On POWER4, due to not having coherent icaches, we could hit a situation where a probe that is registered on one processor, is hit immediately on another. This second processor could have fetched the stream of text from the out-of-line single-stepping area *before* the probe registration completed, possibly due to an earlier (and a different) kprobe hit and hence would see stale data at the slot. Executing such an arbitrary instruction lead to a problem as reported in LTC bugzilla 23555. The correct solution is to call flush_icache_range() as soon as the instruction is copied for out-of-line single-stepping, so the correct instruction is seen on all processors.

eac8392 David Wilder 29 June 2006, 22:17:30 UTC [POWERPC] Make secondary CPUs call into kdump on reset exception In the case of a system hang, the user will invoke soft-reset to initiate the kdump boot. If xmon is enabled, the CPU(s) enter into the xmon debugger. Unfortunately, the secondary CPU(s) will return to the hung state when they exit from the debugger (returned from die() -> system_reset_exception()). This causes a problem in kdump since the hung CPU(s) will not respond to the IPI sent from kdump. This patch fixes the issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() directly from system_reset_exception() without returning to the previous state. These secondary CPUs wait 5ms until the kdump boot is started by the primary CPU. In the case we exited from the debugger to "recover" (command 'x' in xmon) the primary and the secondary CPUs will all return from die() -> system_reset_exception() ->crash_kexec_secondary() wait 5ms, then return to the previous state.

3e3183b David Woodhouse 05 August 2006, 19:15:19 UTC [PATCH] SCX200_ACB: eliminate spurious timeout errors While busy-waiting for completion, check the hardware after scheduling; don't schedule and then immediately check the _timeout_. If the yield() took a long time (as it does on my OLPC prototype board when it's busy), we'd report a timeout even though the hardware was now ready. This fixes it, and also switches the yield() for a cond_resched() because we don't actually want to be _that_ nice about it. I see nice tightly-packed SMBus transactions now, rather than waiting for milliseconds between successive phases. Actually, we shouldn't be busy-waiting here at all. We should be using interrupts. That's an exercise for another day though.

Before we assumed it was memory only, but it could be also IO. But this change show an hidden bug : some resources could be producer type that are not handled by pnp layer. So we should ignore the producer resources. This patch fixes bug 6292 (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292). Some devices like PNP0A03 have 0xd00-0xffff and 0x0-0xcf7 as IO producer resources. Before correcting "address resources" parsing, it was seen as memory and was harmless, because nobody tried to reserve this memory range as it should be IO. With the correction it become IO resources, and make failed all others device that want to register IO in this range and use pnp layer (like a ISA sound card).

60c371b Andrew Morton 05 August 2006, 19:14:25 UTC [PATCH] fadvise() make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op The POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE hint means "the application will use this range of the file a single time". It seems to be intended that the implementation will use this hint to perform drop-behind of that part of the file when the application gets around to reading or writing it. However for reasons which aren't obvious (or sane?) I mapped POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE onto POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED. ie: it does readahead. That's daft. So for now, make POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE a no-op. This is a non-back-compatible change. If someone was using POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to perform readahead, they lose. The likelihood is low. If/when we later implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE things will get interesting - to do it fully we'll need to maintain file offset/length ranges and peform all sorts of complex tricks, and managing the lifetime of those ranges' data structures will be interesting.. A sensible implementation would probably ignore the file range and would simply mark the entire file as needing some form of drop-behind treatment.

The retry logic of unqueue_me only works if we can guarantee, that the original value of q->lock_ptr is always a spinlock (Otherwise we overwrite kernel memory). We know that q->lock_ptr can change. I dont know what happens with the original spinlock, as I am not an expert with the futex code.

If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set. If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false. Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault. This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'. Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found this bug" He also pasted a fix, that I've transformated into a patch: Signed-off-by: Diego Calleja <diegocg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result in zero shift).

30a584d Stephen Hemminger 03 August 2006, 23:38:49 UTC [LLX]: SOCK_DGRAM interface fixes The datagram interface of LLC is broken in a couple of ways. These were discovered when trying to use it to build an out-of-kernel version of STP. First it didn't pass the source address of the received packet in recvfrom(). It needs to copy the source address of received LLC packets into the socket control block. At the same time fix a security issue because there was uninitialized data leakage. Every recvfrom call was just copying out old data. Second, LLC should not merge multiple packets in one receive call on datagram sockets. LLC should preserve packet boundaries on SOCK_DGRAM. This fix goes against the old historical comments about UNIX98 semantics but without this fix SOCK_DGRAM is broken and useless. So either ANK's interpretation was incorect or UNIX98 standard was wrong.
