2008-03-20ARM: OMAP: Fix chain_a_transfer return valueAnand Gadiyar
This patch changes the return value of omap_dma_chain_a_transfer to 0 on success instead of the flag 'start_dma', which wasn't really useful for anything. Signed-off-by: Anand Gadiyar <gadiyar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

2008-03-20ARM: OMAP: Fix clockevent support for hrtimersKevin Hilman
One-shot mode was broken in MPU-timer support for OMAP1 due to a typo. Also, ensure timer is stopped before changing the auto-reload flag. The TRM says changing the AR flag when timer is running is undefined. Also set GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS for all omaps.

2008-03-19drivers/char/rocket portability fixesAl Viro
unsigned long != __le32, TYVM, and unsigned char[4] is not guaranteed to be aligned for u32. While we are at it, sanitize sOutDW() a bit - have it take Byte_t * and handle dereferencing internally. NB: sWriteTxPrioByte() is almost certainly buggered on big-endian and is missing cpu_to_le16() on assignments to *WordPtr; I've left it alone for now.

2008-03-19fbdev: defio and MetronomefbJaya Kumar
Implement support for the E-Ink Metronome controller. It provides an mmapable interface to the controller using defio support. It was tested with a gumstix pxa255 with Vizplex media using Xfbdev and various X clients such as xeyes, xpdf, xloadimage. This patch also fixes the following bug: Defio would cause a hang on write access to the framebuffer as the page fault would be called ad-infinitum. It fixes fb_defio by setting the mapping to be used by page_mkclean. Signed-off-by: Jaya Kumar <jayakumar.lkml@gmail.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

2008-03-19rcu: fix misplaced mb() in rcu_enter/exit_nohz()Paul E. McKenney
In the process of writing up the mechanical proof of correctness for the dynticks/preemptable-RCU interface, I noticed misplaced memory barriers in rcu_enter_nohz() and rcu_exit_nohz(). This patch puts them in the right place and adds a comment. The key thing to keep in mind is that rcu_enter_nohz() is -exiting- the mode that can legally execute RCU read-side critical sections. The memory barrier must be between any potential RCU read-side critical sections and the increment of the per-CPU dynticks_progress_counter, and thus must come -before- this increment. And vice versa for rcu_exit_nohz(). The locking in the scheduler is probably saving us for the moment. Also, switch to smp_mb() - we don't need a barrier for uniprocessor kernels.

This hasn't struck until eaa0ff15c30dc9799eb4d12660edb73aeb6d32c5 ("fix ! versus & precedence in various places") surrounded the expression with braces, so that the intended behavior was inverted.

2008-03-19ROMFS: Fix up an error in iget removalDavid Howells
Fix up an error in iget removal in which romfs_lookup() making a successful call to romfs_iget() continues through the negative/error handling (previously the successful case jumped around the negative/error handling case): (1) inode is initialised to NULL at the top of the function, eliminating the need for specific negative-inode handling. This means the positive success handling now flows straight through. (2) Rename the labels to be clearer about what they mean. Also make romfs_lookup()'s result variable of type long so as to avoid 32-bit/64-bit conversions with PTR_ERR() and friends. Based upon a report and patch from Adam Richter.

2008-03-19aio: bad AIO race in aio_complete() leads to process hangQuentin Barnes
My group ran into a AIO process hang on a 2.6.24 kernel with the process sleeping indefinitely in io_getevents(2) waiting for the last wakeup to come and it never would. We ran the tests on x86_64 SMP. The hang only occurred on a Xeon box ("Clovertown") but not a Core2Duo ("Conroe"). On the Xeon, the L2 cache isn't shared between all eight processors, but is L2 is shared between between all two processors on the Core2Duo we use. My analysis of the hang is if you go down to the second while-loop in read_events(), what happens on processor #1: 1) add_wait_queue_exclusive() adds thread to ctx->wait 2) aio_read_evt() to check tail 3) if aio_read_evt() returned 0, call [io_]schedule() and sleep In aio_complete() with processor #2: A) info->tail = tail; B) waitqueue_active(&ctx->wait) C) if waitqueue_active() returned non-0, call wake_up() The way the code is written, step 1 must be seen by all other processors before processor 1 checks for pending events in step 2 (that were recorded by step A) and step A by processor 2 must be seen by all other processors (checked in step 2) before step B is done. The race I believed I was seeing is that steps 1 and 2 were effectively swapped due to the __list_add() being delayed by the L2 cache not shared by some of the other processors. Imagine: proc 2: just before step A proc 1, step 1: adds to ctx->wait, but is not visible by other processors yet proc 1, step 2: checks tail and sees no pending events proc 2, step A: updates tail proc 1, step 3: calls [io_]schedule() and sleeps proc 2, step B: checks ctx->wait, but sees no one waiting, skips wakeup so proc 1 sleeps indefinitely My patch adds a memory barrier between steps A and B. It ensures that the update in step 1 gets seen on processor 2 before continuing. If processor 1 was just before step 1, the memory barrier makes sure that step A (update tail) gets seen by the time processor 1 makes it to step 2 (check tail). Before the patch our AIO process would hang virtually 100% of the time. After the patch, we have yet to see the process ever hang.

2008-03-20[POWERPC] Hide resources on Axon PCIE root complex nodesMichael Ellerman
The PCI bridge representing the PCIE root complex on Axon, contains device BARs for a memory range and ROM that define inbound accesses. This confuses the kernel resource management code -- the resources need to be hidden when Axon is a host bridge.

2008-03-20[POWERPC] Fix cell IOMMU code to cope with empty dma-ranges and non-PCI devicesMichael Ellerman
The cell IOMMU code to parse the dma-ranges properties, used for the fixed mapping, was broken in two ways for some devices. Firstly it didn't cope with empty dma-ranges properties. An empty property implies no translation so can be safely skipped. The code also wrongly assumed it would be looking at PCI devices, and hard coded the number of address and size cells.

2008-03-20[POWERPC] Fix build failure for tqm8540 and sbc85xx defconfigsPaul Gortmaker
The wrapper script didn't have entries for the TQM8540 board and the SBC8548 or SBC8560 boards. I've assumed that the TQM8540 console is 8250 based and not CPM based by looking at its defconfig. There was also a trailing * on the TQM8555 entry that I removed too.

2008-03-20[POWERPC] Fix PMU + soft interrupt disable bugAnton Blanchard
Since the PMU is an NMI now, it can come at any time we are only soft disabled. We must hard disable around the two places we allow the kernel stack SLB and r1 to go out of sync. Otherwise the PMU exception can force a kernel stack SLB into another slot, which can lead to it getting evicted, which can lead to a nasty unrecoverable SLB miss in the exception entry code.

2008-03-20[POWERPC] user_regset PTRACE_SETREGS regression fixRoland McGrath
The PTRACE_SETREGS request was only recently added on powerpc, and gdb does not use it. So it slipped through without getting all the testing it should have had. The user_regset changes had a simple bug in storing to all of the 32-bit general registers block on 64-bit kernels. This bug only comes up with PTRACE_SETREGS, not PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS. It causes a BUG_ON to hit, so this fix needs to go in ASAP. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
