2006-03-23[PATCH] PCI: PCI/Cardbus cards hidden, needs pci=assign-busses to fixBernhard Kaindl
"In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and cardbus bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate bus numbers to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless we are using "pci=assign-busses" boot option." -- Ivan Kokshaysky (from a patch comment) Without it, Cardbus cards inserted are never seen by PCI because the parent PCI-PCI Bridge of the Cardbus bridge will not pass and translate Type 1 PCI configuration cycles correctly and the system will fail to find and initialise the PCI devices in the system. Reference: PCI-PCI Bridges: PCI Configuration Cycles and PCI Bus Numbering: http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorella/guidelinux/tlk/node72.html The reason for this is that: ``All PCI busses located behind a PCI-PCI bridge must reside between the secondary bus number and the subordinate bus number (inclusive).'' "pci=assign-busses" makes pcibios_assign_all_busses return 1 and this turns on PCI renumbering during PCI probing. Alan suggested to use DMI automatically set assign-busses on problem systems. The only question for me was where to put it. I put it directly before scanning PCI bus into pcibios_scan_root() because it's called from legacy, acpi and numa and so it can be one place for all systems and configurations which may need it. AMD64 Laptops are also affected and fixed by assign-busses, and the code is also incuded from arch/x86_64/pci/ that place will also work for x86_64 kernels, I only ifdef'-ed the x86-only Laptop in this example. Affected and known or assumed to be fixed with it are (found by googling): * ASUS Z71V and L3s * Samsung X20 * Compaq R3140us and all Compaq R3000 series laptops with TI1620 Controller, also Compaq R4000 series (from a kernel.org bugreport) * HP zv5000z (AMD64 3700+, known that fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr fixes it) * HP zv5200z * IBM ThinkPad 240 * An IBM ThinkPad (1.8 GHz Pentium M) debugged by Pavel Machek gives the correspondig message which detects the possible problem. * MSI S260 / Medion SIM 2100 MD 95600 The patch also expands the "try pci=assign-busses" warning so testers will help us to update the DMI table.

2006-03-23[PATCH] PCI: fix problems with MSI-X on ia64Grant Grundler
Use "unsigned long" when dealing with PCI resources. The BAR Indicator Register (BIR) can be a 64-bit value or the resource could be a 64-bit host physical address. Enables ib_mthca and cciss drivers to use MSI-X on ia64 HW. Problem showed up now because of new system firmware on one platform. Symptom will either be memory corruption or MCA. Second part of this patch deals with "useless" code. We walk through the steps to find the phys_addr and then don't use the result. I suspect the intent was to zero out the respective MSI-X entry but I'm not sure at the moment. Delete the code inside the #if 0/#endif if it's really not needed.

However, it's pretty clear that the e820 entries are there for a reason. Probably they are a hack by the BIOS maintainers to keep Windows from stomping/moving that region, exactly because they want to keep the bridge where it is (or, it's actually for the BIOS itself - the BIOS tables are a horrid mess, and BIOS engineers are pretty hacky people: they'll add random entries to make their own broken algorithms do the "right thing"). > Starting from 2.6.13, kernel tries to resolve that sort of conflicts, > so that prefetch window of the bridge and the framebuffer memory behind > it get moved to 0x10000000. I think we could (and probably should) solve this another way: consider the ACPI "reserved regions" from the e820 map exactly the same way that we do other ACPI hints - they should restrict _new_ allocations, but not impact stuff we figure out on our own. Basically, right now we assign _unassigned_ resources at "fs_initcall" time. If we were to add in the e820 "reserved region" stuff before that (but after we've done PCI discovery), we'd probably do the right thing. Right now we do the e820 reserved regions very early indeed: we call "register_memory()" from setup_arch(). We could move at least part of it (the part that registers the resources) down a bit. Here's a test-patch. I'm not saying we should absolutely do this, but it might be interesting to try... Cc: "Antonino A.

2006-03-23[PATCH] shpchp: Fix slot state handlingKenji Kaneshige
Current SHPCHP driver doesn't care about the confliction between hotplug operation via sysfs and hotplug operation via attention button. So if those ware conflicted, slot could be an unexpected state. This patch changes SHPCHP driver to handle slot state properly. With this patch, slot events are handled according to the current slot state as shown at the Table below. Table. Slot States and Event Handling ========================================================================= Slot State Event and Action ========================================================================= STATIC - Go to POWERON state if user initiates (Slot enabled, insertion request via sysfs Slot disabled) - Go to POWEROFF state if user initiates removal request via sysfs - Go to BLINKINGON state if user presses attention button when the slot is disabled - Go to BLINKINGOFF state if user presses attention button when the slot is enabled

Agreed, looks like an accident. The patch [1] originally came from Kip Walker (Broadcom back then) between 2.6.0-test3 and 2.6.0-test4. As I recall it was supposed to fix an issue with with PCI aborts being signalled by the PCI bridge of the Broadcom BCM1250 family of SOCs when probing behind pci_scan_bridge. It is undeseriable to disable PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_MASTER_ABORT in pci_{read,write)_config_* and the behaviour wasn't considered a bug in need of a workaround, so this was put in probe.c. I don't have an affected system at hand, so can't really test but I propose something like the below patch.

2006-03-23[PATCH] __GENERIC_PER_CPU changesEric Dumazet
Now CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is in, initial percpu data [__per_cpu_start,__per_cpu_end] can be declared as a redzone, and invalid accesses after boot can be detected, at least for i386. We can let non possible cpus percpu data point to this 'redzone' instead of NULL . NULL was not a good choice because part of [0..32768] memory may be readable and invalid accesses may happen unnoticed. If CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA is not defined, each non possible cpu points to the initial percpu data (__per_cpu_offset[cpu] == 0), thus invalid accesses wont be detected/crash.

2006-03-23[PATCH] pause_on_oops command line optionAndrew Morton
Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that architectures other than x86 will find it useful.
