2009-05-26[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: determine exact CPU frequency for HW PstatesAndreas Herrmann
Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h. Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value: "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid] rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz." As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems, e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82 processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz) powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz) powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz) But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it correctly: #x86info -a |grep Pstate ... Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz) Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz) Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current) Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead of using rounded values from ACPI table.

The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to dbs_timer_exit(). Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place (replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work). Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section : cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev() ... if (cpufreq_driver->target) __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP); unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu); To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without being nested within the rwsem. Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree. Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed unneeded.

2009-05-25r8169: avoid losing MSI interruptsDavid Dillow
The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not see a new interrupt. The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all sources quiescent.

2009-05-25x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entriesTejun Heo
For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel. The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs. R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered error. When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section, binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail. The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right thing to do. The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

2009-05-26md: don't update curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position.NeilBrown
In order for the metadata to always be consistent, we mustn't updated curr_resync_completed without also updating reshape_position. The reshape code updates both at the same time. However since commit 97e4f42d62badb0f9fbc27c013e89bc1336a03bc the common md_do_sync will sometimes update curr_resync_completed but is not in a position to update reshape_position. So if MD_RECOVERY_RESHAPE is set (indicating that a reshape is happening, so reshape_position might change), don't update curr_resync_completed in md_do_sync, leave it to the per-personality reshape code.

The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change. Linux relies on this behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot. The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes to PSE and PGE. This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

2009-05-25KVM: Make paravirt tlb flush also reload the PAE PDPTRsAvi Kivity
The paravirt tlb flush may be used not only to flush TLBs, but also to reload the four page-directory-pointer-table entries, as it is used as a replacement for reloading CR3. Change the code to do the entire CR3 reloading dance instead of simply flushing the TLB. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2009-05-25gianfar: fix BUG under load after introduction of skb recyclingLennert Buytenhek
Since commit 0fd56bb5be6455d0d42241e65aed057244665e5e ("gianfar: Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in the rx ring back onto the recycle list as-is in case there was a receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD. The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put(). Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned invariant, and should fix this issue.

2009-05-25x86: Remove remap percpu allocator for the time beingTejun Heo
Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data corruption. Please read the following threads for more information: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783 The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu aliases. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157 However, the above changes are deemed too pervasive for upstream inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables the remap allocator for the time being.

2009-05-24async: make sure independent async domains can't accidentally entangleJames Bottomley
The problem occurs when async_synchronize_full_domain() is called when the async_pending list is not empty. This will cause lowest_running() to return the cookie of the first entry on the async_pending list, which might be nothing at all to do with the domain being asked for and thus cause the domain synchronization to wait for an unrelated domain. This can cause a deadlock if domain synchronization is used from one domain to wait for another. Fix by running over the async_pending list to see if any pending items actually belong to our domain (and return their cookies if they do).

2009-05-24PM: Do not hold dpm_list_mtx while disabling/enabling nonboot CPUsRafael J. Wysocki
We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing [disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes Berg): CPU 3 CPU 2 CPU 1 suspend/hibernate something: rtnl_lock() device_pm_lock() -> mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx) mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx) linkwatch_work -> rtnl_lock() disable_nonboot_cpus() -> flush CPU 3 workqueue Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that might lead to the registration of new device objects way before disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and early part of device resume. Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release it right after that.

2009-05-24ALSA: hda - Add 5stack-no-fp model for STAC927xTakashi Iwai
The recent fix for the headphone volume control on IDT/STAC codecs resulted in the removal of invalid "Side" volume eventually. But, if the front panel doesn't exist, this setup could be regarded as a sort of regression, as reported in kernel bug #13250. Now as a workaround, a new model 5stack-no-fp is added so that the user without the front panel can choose this one explicitly.
