2005-06-09[IA64] Fix race condition in the rt_sigprocmask fastcallChristoph Lameter
current->blocked will be set to the value of current->thread_info->flags if the cmpxchg to update thread_info->flags fails. For performance reasons the store into current->blocked was placed in the cmpxchg loop. However, the cmpxchg overwrites the register holding the value to be stored. In the rare case of a retry the value of thread_info->flags will be written into current->blocked. The fix is to use another register so that the register containing the current->blocked value is not overwritten.

2005-06-08[PATCH] ia64: fix floating-point preemption problemPeter Chubb
There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the high partition. The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to() preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to prevent preemption. Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

2005-06-08[IA64] Module gp must point to valid memoryKeith Owens
Some bits of the kernel assume that gp always points to valid memory, in particular PHYSICAL_MODE_ENTER() assumes that both gp and sp are valid virtual addresses with associated physical pages. The IA64 module loader puts gp well past the end of the module, with no physical backing. Offsets on gp are still valid, but physical mode addressing breaks for modules. Ensure that gp always falls within the module body. Also ensure that gp is 8 byte aligned. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-05-18[IA64] alternate perfmon handlerTony Luck
Patch from Charles Spirakis Some linux customers want to optimize their applications on the latest hardware but are not yet willing to upgrade to the latest kernel. This patch provides a way to plug in an alternate, basic, and GPL'ed PMU subsystem to help with their monitoring needs or for specialty work. It can also be used in case of serious unexpected bugs in perfmon. Mutual exclusion between the two subsystems is guaranteed, hence no conflict can arise from both subsystem being present.

2005-05-17[IA64-SGI] cpe interrupts are not being enabled.Russ Anderson
acpi_request_vector() is called in ia64_mca_init() to get the cpe_vector. The problem is that acpi_request_vector() looks in platform_intr_list[] to get the vector, but platform_intr_list[] is not initialized with a valid vector until later (in sn_setup()). Without a valid vector the code defaults to polling mode. This patch moves the call to acpi_request_vector() from ia64_mca_init() to ia64_mca_late_init(), which is after platform_intr_list[] is initialized.

2005-05-10[IA64] Avoid .spillpsp directive in handcoded assemblyDavid Mosberger-Tang
Some time ago, GAS was fixed to bring the .spillpsp directive in line with the Intel assembler manual (there was some disagreement as to whether or not there is a built-in 16-byte offset). Unfortunately, there are two places in the kernel where this directive is used in handwritten assembly files and those of course relied on the "buggy" behavior. As a result, when using a "fixed" assembler, the kernel picks up the UNaT bits from the wrong place (off by 16) and randomly sets NaT bits on the scratch registers. This can be noticed easily by looking at a coredump and finding various scratch registers with unexpected NaT values. The patch below fixes this by using the .spillsp directive instead, which works correctly no matter what assembler is in use.

- pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY when context is already loaded. - pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED. It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state. This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given in libpfm-3.1.

2005-05-03[IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT againStephane Eranian
The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified): context switch out: save PMDs clear psr.up release ownership context switch in: if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) { set psr.up return } restore PMD restore PMC ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id(); ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation; set psr.up The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate. The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(), the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed. To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits. Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND perfmon saying it is okay.

2005-05-03[IA64] fix ia64 syscall auditingDavid Woodhouse
Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and signal handling code paths. The patch enables auditing of system calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn. Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system. I have tested this patch and have seen no problems with it.
