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.

2009-03-05libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5sStuart Hayes
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be ready. On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..." message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly timeout/error messages. Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out, and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which will finally get things working.

2009-02-26rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at bootPaul E. McKenney
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin, Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name and function-name language. ;-) The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up. During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time. This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks() function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to determine if it should believe idle_cpu(). Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical section may be preeempted. In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the system_state global variable be __read_mostly. Changes since v4: o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to be less emotional. ;-) Changes since v3: o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU switches out of boot-time mode before the first context switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin. Changes since v2: o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself a grace period. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online. o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if the system is still in early boot. This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running on a single CPU after booting is complete. o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there being but one online CPU. Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

2009-02-208250: fix boot hang with serial console when using with Serial Over Lan portMauro Carvalho Chehab
Intel 8257x Ethernet boards have a feature called Serial Over Lan. This feature works by emulating a serial port, and it is detected by kernel as a normal 8250 port. However, this emulation is not perfect, as also noticed on changeset 7500b1f602aad75901774a67a687ee985d85893f. Before this patch, the kernel were trying to check if the serial TX is capable of work using IRQ's. This were done with a code similar this: serial_outp(up, UART_IER, UART_IER_THRI); lsr = serial_in(up, UART_LSR); iir = serial_in(up, UART_IIR); serial_outp(up, UART_IER, 0); if (lsr & UART_LSR_TEMT && iir & UART_IIR_NO_INT) up->bugs |= UART_BUG_TXEN; This works fine for other 8250 ports, but, on 8250-emulated SoL port, the chip is a little lazy to down UART_IIR_NO_INT at UART_IIR register. Due to that, UART_BUG_TXEN is sometimes enabled. However, as TX IRQ keeps working, and the TX polling is now enabled, the driver miss-interprets the IRQ received later, hanging up the machine until a key is pressed at the serial console. This is the 6 version of this patch. Previous versions were trying to introduce a large enough delay between serial_outp and serial_in(up, UART_IIR), but not taking forever. However, the needed delay couldn't be safely determined. At the experimental tests, a delay of 1us solves most of the cases, but still hangs sometimes. Increasing the delay to 5us was better, but still doesn't solve. A very high delay of 50 ms seemed to work every time. However, poking around with delays and pray for it to be enough doesn't seem to be a good approach, even for a quirk. So, instead of playing with random large arbitrary delays, let's just disable UART_BUG_TXEN for all SoL ports.

2009-02-20slab: introduce kzfree()Johannes Weiner
kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying memory before releasing it to the slab allocator. Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use. These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily aware of the actual object size.

2009-02-18mm: fix memmap init for handling memory holeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, early_pfn_in_nid(PFN, NID) may returns false if PFN is a hole. and memmap initialization was not done. This was a trouble for sparc boot. To fix this, the PFN should be initialized and marked as PG_reserved. This patch changes early_pfn_in_nid() return true if PFN is a hole.

2009-02-18mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages() is triggering: BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page)); Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations: if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) { printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: " "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n", start_page, end_page, zone); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n", page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n", page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n", page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page)); ... And here's what I got: move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00] move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00] move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff] move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0] My memory layout on this box is: [ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges: [ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d [ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node [ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges [ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers the problem. This patch: Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used. I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy. This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h After this, if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c else -> per-arch back end function will be called.

The conversion of atmel-mci to dma_request_channel missed the initialization of the channel dma_slave information. The filter_fn passed to dma_request_channel is responsible for initializing the channel's private data. This implementation has the additional benefit of enabling a generic client-channel data passing mechanism.

2009-02-18mm: task dirty accounting fixNick Piggin
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty). Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for __set_page_dirty_no_writeback. So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.
