2008-08-29ALSA: oxygen: fix distorted output on AK4396-based cardsClemens Ladisch
When changing the sample rate, the CMI8788's master clock output becomes unstable for a short time. The AK4396 needs the master clock to do SPI writes, so writing to an AK4396 control register directly after a sample rate change will garble the value. In our case, this leads to the DACs being misconfigured to I2S sample format, which results in a wrong output level and horrible distortions on samples louder than -6 dB. To fix this, we need to wait until the new master clock signal has become stable before doing SPI writes.

2008-08-27Revert "ALSA: hda - Added model selection for iMac 24""Takashi Iwai
This reverts commit 3e0e469fa216ec70c93b1593821b759d19ee2e6b. The patch introduced a wrong detection of other intel Macs with ALC88* codec because they share the same PCI SSID (but have different codec subsystem-IDs).

2008-08-25[x86] Clean up MAXSMP Kconfig, and limit NR_CPUS to 512Linus Torvalds
This fixes a regression that was indirectly caused by commit 1184dc2ffe2c8fb9afb766d870850f2c3165ef25 ("x86: modify Kconfig to allow up to 4096 cpus"). Allowing 4k CPU's is not practical at this time, because we still have a number of places that have several 'cpumask_t's on the stack, and a 4k-bit cpumask is 512 bytes of stack-space for each such variable. This literally caused functions like 'smp_call_function_mask' to have a 2.5kB stack frame, and several functions to have 2kB stackframes. With an 8kB stack total, smashing the stack was simply much too likely. At least bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11342 was due to this. The earlier commit to not inline load_module() into sys_init_module() fixed the particular symptoms of this that Alan Brunelle saw in that bugzilla entry, but the huge stack waste by cpumask_t's was the more direct cause. Some day we'll have allocation helpers that allocate large CPU masks dynamically, but in the meantime we simply cannot allow cpumasks this large. Cc: Alan D.

2008-08-25[module] Don't let gcc inline load_module()Linus Torvalds
'load_module()' is a complex function that contains all the ELF section logic, and inlining it is utterly insane. But gcc will do it, simply because there is only one call-site. As a result, all the stack space that is allocated for all the work to load the module will still be active when we actually call the module init sequence, and the deep call chain makes stack overflows happen. And stack overflows are really hard to debug, because they not only corrupt random pages below the stack, but also corrupt the thread_info structure that is allocated under the stack. In this case, Alan Brunelle reported some crazy oopses at bootup, after loading the processor module that ends up doing complex ACPI stuff and has quite a deep callchain. This should fix it, and is the sane thing to do regardless. Cc: Alan D.

2008-08-25sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()Peter Zijlstra
This patch fixes 3 issues: a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work as it can drift around. So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window. b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking): delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw; clock += delta; Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear. c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without breaking. the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas: before after sched_clock cpu_clock: 15750 51312 51488 cpu_clock: 59719 51052 50947 cpu_clock: 15879 51249 51061 cpu_clock: 1 50933 51198 cpu_clock: 1 50931 51039 cpu_clock: 1 51093 50981 cpu_clock: 1 51043 51040 cpu_clock: 1 50959 50938 cpu_clock: 1 50981 51011 cpu_clock: 1 51364 51212 cpu_clock: 1 51219 51273 cpu_clock: 1 51389 51048 cpu_clock: 1 51285 51611 cpu_clock: 1 50964 51137 cpu_clock: 1 50973 50968 cpu_clock: 1 50967 50972 cpu_clock: 1 58910 58485 cpu_clock: 1 51082 51025 cpu_clock: 1 50957 50958 cpu_clock: 1 50958 50957 cpu_clock: 1006128 51128 50971 cpu_clock: 1 51107 51155 cpu_clock: 1 51371 51081 cpu_clock: 1 51104 51365 cpu_clock: 1 51363 51309 cpu_clock: 1 51107 51160 cpu_clock: 1 51139 51100 cpu_clock: 1 51216 51136 cpu_clock: 1 51207 51215 cpu_clock: 1 51087 51263 cpu_clock: 1 51249 51177 cpu_clock: 1 51519 51412 cpu_clock: 1 51416 51255 cpu_clock: 1 51591 51594 cpu_clock: 1 50966 51374 cpu_clock: 1 50966 50966 cpu_clock: 1 51291 50948 cpu_clock: 1 50973 50867 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 998306 50970 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 51351 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 51352 cpu_clock: 1 50971 50970 cpu_clock: 1 50970 50970 cpu_clock: 1 51321 50971 cpu_clock: 1 50974 51324 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-08-25KVM: Use .fixup instead of .text.fixup on __kvm_handle_fault_on_rebootEduardo Habkost
vmlinux.lds expects the fixup code to be on a section named .fixup. The .text.fixup section is not mentioned on vmlinux.lds, and is included on the resulting vmlinux (just after .text) only because of ld heuristics on placing orphan sections. However, placing .text.fixup outside .text breaks the definition of _etext, making it exclude the .text.fixup contents. That makes .text.fixup be ignored by the kernel initialization code that needs to know about section locations, such as the code setting page protection bits.

Both v and vb->num_pages are u32 and unsigned int respectively. If v is less than vb->num_pages (and it is, when deflating the balloon), the result is a very large 32-bit number. Since we're returning a s64, instead of getting the same negative number we desire, we get a very large positive number. This handles the case where v < vb->num_pages and ensures we get a small, negative, s64 as the result. Rusty: please push this for 2.6.27-rc4. It's probably appropriate for the stable tree too as it will cause an unexpected OOM when ballooning.

2008-08-25ALSA: ASoC: Fix double free and memory leak in many codec driversJean Delvare
Many SoC audio codec drivers have improper freeing of memory in error paths. * codec is allocated in the platform device probe function, but is not freed there in case of error. Instead it is freed in the i2c device probe function's error path. However the success or failure of both functions is not linked, so this could result in a double free (if the platform device is successfully probed, the i2c device probing fails and then the platform driver is unregistered.) * codec->private_data is allocated in many platform device probe functions but not freed in their error paths.

2008-08-25x86: fix HPET regression in 2.6.26 versus 2.6.25, check hpet against BAR, v3Yinghai Lu
David Witbrodt tracked down (and bisected) a hpet bootup hang on his system to the following problem: a BIOS bug made the hpet device visible as a generic PCI device. If e820 reserved entries happen to be registered first in the resource tree [which v2.6.26 started doing], then the PCI code will reallocate that device's BAR to some other address - breaking timer IRQs and hanging the system. ( Normally hpet devices are hidden by the BIOS from the OS's PCI discovery via chipset magic. Sometimes the hpet is not a PCI device at all. ) Solve this fundamental fragility by making non-PCI platform drivers insert resources into the resource tree even if it overlaps the e820 reserved entry, to keep the resource manager from updating the BAR. Also do these checks for the ioapic and mmconfig addresses, and emit a warning if this happens.

2008-08-23x86 MCE: Fix CPU hotplug problem with multiple multicore AMD CPUsRafael J. Wysocki
During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by threshold_create_bank(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c, has to be removed before its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c . Moreover, when the CPU in question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created before the former. At present, the right ordering is not enforced, because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each other. This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation. Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places, if defined. Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs directory associated with the kobject created by kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs.
