* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/drzeus/mmc:
mmc: Correct definition of R6
omap: Update MMC response types
|
|
This reverts commit 99a10a60ba9bedcf5d70ef81414d3e03816afa3f.
As per Hugh Dickins:
"Nadia Derbey has reported that mmap of /dev/kmem no longer works with
the kernel virtual address as offset, and Franck has confirmed that
his patch came from a misunderstanding of what an offset means to
/dev/kmem - whereas his patch description seems to say that he was
correcting the offset on a few plaforms, there was no such problem to
correct, and his patch was in fact changing its API on all platforms."

During development of SDHC support, it was discovered that the definition
for R6 was incorrect. This patch fixes that and patches the drivers that
do switch on the response type.

Currently we issue a bounce trace when __blk_queue_bounce() is called,
but that merely means that the device has a lower dma mask than the
higher pages in the system. The bio itself may still be lower pages. So
move the bounce trace into __blk_queue_bounce(), when we know there will
actually be page bouncing.

Setting .ConfigBase and .Present is now done at the pcmcia core.
The driver cleanup missed a few places where the driver did set .Present
to PRESENT_OPTION and later to the values from the CIS. Setting to
PRESENT_OPTION now overrides the values from the CIS. So just remove
those lines.

This changes all HWRNG driver initcalls to module_init(). We must probe

Add a load option to intel-rng to allow skipping the FWH detection,
necessary in case the BIOS has locked read-only the firmware hub space.
Also prevent any attempt to write to firmware space if it cannot be write
enabled (apparently caused hangs on some systems not having an FWH and thus
also not having a respective RNG).

NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page()
invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page
owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked.
Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page
can no longer be dirtied.
In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries
to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the
call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page
reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference
to the inode or dentry.
Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will
attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.

md raidX make_request functions strip off the BIO_RW_SYNC flag, thus

Fixing this in raid1 and raid10 seems to be straightforward enough.

Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'
This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.
Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.
This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.
Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.
Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

While testing 2.6.20-rc3 on a machine with some CK804 chipsets, we noticed
that quirk_nvidia_ck804_msi_ht_cap() was not detecting HT MSI capabilities
anymore. It is actually caused by the MSI mapping on the root chipset
being the 2nd HT capability in the chain. pci_find_ht_capability() does
not seem to find anything but the first HT cap correctly, because it
forgets to increment the position before looking for the next cap. The
following patch seems to fix it.
At least, this proves that having a ttl is good idea since the machine
would have been stucked in an infinite loop if we didn't have a ttl :)
We have to pass pos + PCI_CAP_LIST_NEXT to __pci_find_next_cap_ttl to
get the next HT cap instead of the same one again.

Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init
off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map
at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are
added to the system later.
Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should
still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.
Thanks to Giuliano Pochini for reporting this and testing the fix:

It might save a few bytes after bootup, but it causes the string to be
linked in at the end of the final vmlinux image, which defeats the whole
point of doing all this, namely allowing some broken user-space binaries
to search for the kernel version string in the kernel binary.
So just remove the __init specifier.

Ensure that no SMI interrupts occur between the read of the HPET & TSC
in the clock calibration loop.
I noticed that a 2.66GHz system incorrectly detected the processor
clock speed about 1/7 of the time:
time.c: Detected 2660.005 MHz processor. (most of the time)
time.c: Detected 2988.203 MHz processor. (sometime)
The problem is caused by an SMI interrupt occuring in hpet_calibrate_tsc()
between the read of the HPET & TSC. Prior to switching the BIOS into
ACPI mode, it appears that every 27msec an SMI interrupt occurs. The
SMI interrupt takes 4.8 msec to process.
Note: On my test system, TICK_MIN had to be >380. I picked 5000
to minimize risk of having a value that is too small for other
platforms.

be called during init time, changing serial8250_console_setup() to __init.
o Adding one more pattern to modpost whitelist. Console drivers might
have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which
can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.

o struct genapic contains pointer to probe() function which is of type
__init. Hence MODPOST generates warning if kernel is compiled with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y for i386.
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_summit' (at offset 0xc058b504) and 'apic_bigsmp'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_bigsmp' (at offset 0xc058b5a4) and 'cpu.4471'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_es7000' (at offset 0xc058b644) and 'apic_default'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'apic_default' (at offset 0xc058b6e4) and 'interrupt'
o One of the possible options is to put special case check in MODPOST to
not emit warnings for this case but I think it is not a very good option
in terms of maintenance.
o Another option is to make probe() function non __init. Anyway this function
is really small so not freeing this memory after init is not a big deal.
Secondly, from a programming perspective, probably genapic should not
provide pointers to functions which have been freed as genapic is non
__init and is used even after initialization is complete.

o Misc smpboot/cpu hotplug path cleanups. I did those to supress the
warnings generated by MODPOST. These warnings are visible only
if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
o CONFIG_RELOCATABLE compiles the kernel with --emit-relocs option. This
option retains relocation information in vmlinux file and MODPOST
is quick to spit out "Section mismatch" warnings.
o This patch fixes some of those warnings. Many of the functions in
smpboot case are __devinit type and they in turn accesses text/data which
if of type __cpuinit. Now if CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n
then we end up in cases where a function in .text segment is calling
another function in .init.text segment and MODPOST emits warning.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:print_cpu_info from .text between 'do_boot_cpu' (at offset 0xc01105d0) and '__cpu_up'
o It also fixes the issues where CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and start_secondary()
is calling smp_callin() which in-turn calls synchronize_tsc_ap() which is
of type __init. This should have meant broken CPU hotplug.

+m is really correct for a RMW instruction, but some older gccs
error out. I finally gave in and ifdefed it.
This fixes compilation errors with some compiler version.

o noirqdebug_setup() is __init but it is being called by
quirk_intel_irqbalance() which if of type __devinit. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y,
quirk_intel_irqbalance() is put into text section and it is wrong to
call a function in __init section.
o MODPOST flags this on i386 if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:noirqdebug_setup from .text between 'quirk_intel_irqbalance' (at offset 0xc010969e) and 'i8237A_suspend'
o Make noirqdebug_setup() non-init.
