2006-12-01[ARM] 3960/1: AT91: Final SAM9 intergration patches.Andrew Victor
This patch includes a number of small changes for integrating the AT91SAM9261 and AT91SAM0260 support. * Can only select support for one AT91 processor at a time. * Remove most of the remaining static memory mapping for the AT91RM9200. * Reserve 1Mb of memory below the IO for mapping the internal SRAM and any custom board-specific devices (ie, FPGA). * The SAM9260 has more serial ports, so increase the maximum to 7. * Define the standard chipselect addresses, and define other addresses relative to those. * CLOCK_TICK_RATE is different on the SAM926x's.

2006-11-30[ARM] 3954/1: AT91: Update drivers for new headersAndrew Victor
This patch updates the drivers (and other files) which include the hardware headers. This fixes the breakage introduced in patches 3950/1 and 3951/1 (those patches were getting big). The AVR32 architecture uses the same serial driver and had its own copy of at91rm9200_pdc.h.

2006-11-30[ARM] 3946/1: AT91: at91_arch_reset and at91_extern_irqAndrew Victor
The external interrupt sources are different on the various AT91 processors. This patch introduces the global 'at91_extern_irq' variable that contains a bitset of the available external interrupt sources. The processor reset mechanism also differs on the various AT91 processors. This patch also adds a global 'at91_arch_reset' callback (from system.h) into the processor-specific code to perform the reset.

2006-11-25[PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usagePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there. So we simply pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer. This fixes a real bug and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read as a number by UML, when calling read_output(). I verified the obtained number corresponded to "BUG:"). The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of this gradually).

2006-11-17x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chainLinus Torvalds
When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves back down the stack frame. It must always grow up (toward older stack frames). I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame pointer chain. This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of the other stack unwinding code. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-11-17[PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fixIngo Molnar
The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU! The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8. After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun was found: BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor CPU#1: set_cpus_allowed(), swapper:1, 3 -> 2 [<c0103bbe>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x34/0x4a [<c0103ceb>] show_trace+0x2c/0x2e [<c01045f8>] dump_stack+0x2b/0x2d [<c0116a77>] set_cpus_allowed+0x52/0xec [<c0101d86>] cpu_idle_wait+0x2e/0x100 [<c0259c57>] acpi_processor_power_exit+0x45/0x58 [<c0259752>] acpi_processor_remove+0x46/0xea [<c025c6fb>] acpi_start_single_object+0x47/0x54 [<c025cee5>] acpi_bus_register_driver+0xa4/0xd3 [<c04ab2d7>] acpi_processor_init+0x57/0x77 [<c01004d7>] init+0x146/0x2fd [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never restores it ... and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this bug too.

The fix is to align the stack pointer.

2006-11-15[IA64] bte_unaligned_copy() transfers one extra cache line.Robin Holt
When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra line gets copied into a temporary buffer. This is normally not an issue since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information gets copied into the user buffer. The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page of memory. That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB chip raising an MCA.

2006-11-15[PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interruptsEric W. Biederman
Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(), causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! ... Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said: "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt). So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a self-IPI." This trivial patch solves the problem. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-11-14[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins
(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.
