2009-03-11x86: remove zImage supportH. Peter Anvin
Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2009-03-09Revert "[CPUFREQ] Disable sysfs ui for p4-clockmod."Dave Jones
This reverts commit e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

2009-03-09powerpc: fix linkstation and storcenter compilation breakageGuennadi Liakhovetski
Defining flash partition table in platform code is deprecated, and due to recent changes linkstation and storcenter do not compile any more with their default configurations because of undefined references to physmap_set_partitions(). Instead of fixing them by using the correct kernel configuration macro in preprocessor conditional, remove partition table definitions altogether. Instead add support for partition definition on the command-line and in device tree to the default configurations.

Impact: remove lots of lguest boot WARN_ON() when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y We now need to call irq_to_desc_alloc_cpu() before set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), but we can't do that from init_IRQ (no kmalloc available). So do it as we use interrupts instead. Also means we only alloc for irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.

2009-03-09lguest: fix crash 'unhandled trap 13 at <native_read_msr_safe>'Rusty Russell

We can get around this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good number. Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.

2009-03-08x86 mmiotrace: fix remove_kmmio_fault_pages()Stuart Bennett
Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(), the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list. After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages() and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash. The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release list. This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full patch, preview 1"); An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka (on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

2009-03-08x86: don't define __this_fixmap_does_not_exist()Wang Chen
Impact: improve out-of-range fixmap index debugging Commit "1b42f51630c7eebce6fb780b480731eb81afd325" defined the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() function with a WARN_ON(1) in it. This causes the linker to not report an error when __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() is called with a non-constant parameter. Ingo defined __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() because he wanted to get virt addresses of fix memory of nest level by non-constant index. But we can fix this and still keep the link-time check: We can get the four slot virt addresses on link time and store them to array slot_virt[]. Then we can then refer the slot_virt with non-constant index, in the ioremap-leak detection code.

In uv_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_uv.c), the "WARN_ON(!in_atomic())" fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled. And CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled by default in the distribution that most UV owners will use. We could #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT the warning, but that is not good form. And there seems to be no suitable fix to in_atomic() when CONFIG_PREMPT is not on. As Ingo commented: > and we have no proper primitive to test for atomicity.

In case a ptraced task is reaped (while the tracer is still attached), ds_exit_thread() is called before ptrace_exit(). The latter will release the bts_tracer and remove the thread's ds_ctx. The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL. Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls. Remove the bad warning.

2009-03-06x86, percpu: setup reserved percpu area for x86_64Tejun Heo
Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee. This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range. This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located beyond 2GB on it. This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case performance. x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving. Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the embedding percpu allocator commit.

variables Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
