This enables CONFIG_ATA_SFF in the defconfigs that are intended to
work on a G5 powermac, i.e. g5_defconfig and ppc64_defconfig. Since
the support for the SATA cell in the K2 chipset is provided by the
sata_svw.c driver, and that depends on CONFIG_ATA_SFF, we need to turn
that and CONFIG_SATA_SVW back on so we can get to the hard disk on G5s.

There are no in-tree uses of the export any more and in linux-next there
is a change that exports it globally which causes warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux: 'console_drivers' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
and in one case (mpc85xx_defconfig) a build error:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__crc_console_drivers':
(*ABS*+0x1eb0e6f5): multiple definition of `__crc_console_drivers'
So remove the export now. Also, there is no longer any need to include
linux/console.h.

GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register
saves/restores based on:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html
This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix
this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down
for our needs (integer only).
Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.
Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the
out-of-line save/restore functions.

This breaks the bootwrapper as we'd need to link with libgcc to get the

To workaround this issue, we just stole the save/restore code from gcc
and simplified it down for our needs (integer only).

There is a delay in the transition to the stopped state for class 2
interrupts. In some cases, the controlling thread detects the state of
the spu as running, and goes back to sleep resulting in a hung
application as the event is missed.
This change detects the stop condition and re-generates the wakeup event
after a context save.

time slicing
Time slicing can occur at the same time as spu exception handling
resulting in the wakeup of the wrong thread.
This change uses the the spu's register_lock to enforce synchronization
between bind/unbind and spu exception handling so that they are
mutually exclusive.

According to the CBEA, the SPU dsisr is not updated for class 0
exceptions.
spu_stopped() is testing the dsisr that was passed to it from the class
0 exception handler, so we return a false positive here.
This patch cleans up the interrupt handler and erroneous tests in
spu_stopped. It also removes the fields from the csa since it is not
needed to process class 0 events.

Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It
turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
past, and now it have regressed.
The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
on an older PCs.

Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.
The warning should be harmless, however.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.
This looks relevant:

Joy - I so love entry.S
Best I can make of it:
syscall_exit_work
resume_userspace
DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
(no TRACE_IRQS_OFF)
work_pending
work_notifysig
do_notify_resume()
do_signal()
get_signal_to_deliver()
try_to_freeze()
refrigerator()
task_lock() -> check_flags() -> BANG
The normal path is:
syscall_exit_work
resume_userspace
DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
restore_all
TRACE_IRQS_IRET
iret

Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.
Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.
All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.
Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.
Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:
Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540
Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.
In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320
The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332
"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282
No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.
This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...
In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

* 'core/iter-div' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
always_inline timespec_add_ns
add an inlined version of iter_div_u64_rem
common implementation of iterative div/mod
|
|
We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.
The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.
This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

check_sal_cache_flush is used to detect broken firmware that drops
pending interrupts.
The old implementation schedules a timer interrupt for itself in
the future by getting the current value of the Interval Timer
Counter + 1000 cycles, waits for the interrupt to be pended, calls
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, and finally checks to see if the interrupt is
still pending.
This implementation can cause problems for virtual machine code if
the process of scheduling the timer interrupt takes more than 1000
cycles; the virtual machine can end up sleeping for several hundred
years while waiting for the ITC to wrap around.
The fix is to use platform_send_ipi. The processor will still send
an interrupt to itself, using the IA64_IPI_DM_INT delivery mode,
which causes the IPI to look like an external interrupt. The rest
of the SAL_CACHE_FLUSH + checking to see if the interrupt is still
pending remains unchanged.
This fix has been boot tested successfully on:
- intel tiger2
- hp rx6600
- hp rx5670
The rx5670 has known buggy firmware, where SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops
pending interrupts. A boot test on this machine showed this message
on the console:
SAL: SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts; PAL_CACHE_FLUSH will be used instead
Which proves that the self-inflicted IPI approach is viable. And
as expected, the other tested platforms correctly did not display
the warning.

This is a SLIT sanity checking patch. It moves slit_valid() function to
generic ACPI code and does sanity checking for both x86 and ia64. It sets up
node_distance with LOCAL_DISTANCE and REMOTE_DISTANCE when hitting invalid
SLIT table on ia64. It also cleans up unused variable localities in
acpi_parse_slit() on x86.

Move the cleanup of the async queue to the close callback from the flush
callback. This avoids losing asynchronous overflow notifications when
the file descriptor is shared by multiple processes and one terminates.
