2008-12-20x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110LDmitry Adamushko
Impact: fix deadlock This is in response to the following bug report: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100 Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de> Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old) Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> [ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ] I think I might have a logical explanation why the system: (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100) might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time. (1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is taken; (2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a deadlock. Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this issue has never popped up. I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the 2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock..."). In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

2008-12-16x86: re-enable MCE on secondary CPUS after suspend/resumeAndi Kleen
Impact: fix disabled MCE after resume Don't prevent multiple initialization of MCEs. Back from early prehistory mcheck_init() has a reentry check. Presumably that was needed in very old kernels to prevent it entering twice. But as Andreas points out this prevents CPU hotplug (and therefore resume) to correctly reinitialize MCEs when a AP boots again after being offlined. Just drop the check.

2008-12-14x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8Zachary Amsden
VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this, VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen after parsing early boot parameters. This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware. Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-11-25[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: ignore out-of-range PstateStatus valueAndreas Herrmann
A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that state. As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an example: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82 processors (2 \ ) powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz) powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz) powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz) BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88086e7528b8 IP: [<ffffffff80486361>] cpufreq_stats_update+0x4a/0x5f PGD 202063 PUD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: CPU 1 Modules linked in: Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.28-rc3-dirty #16 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff80486361>] [<ffffffff80486361>] cpufreq_stats_update+0x4a/0\ f Synaptics claims to have extended capabilities, but I'm not able to read them.<6\ 6 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000001 RCX: ffff88006e7528c0 RDX: 00000000ffffffff RSI: ffff88006e54af00 RDI: ffffffff808f056c RBP: 00000000fffee697 R08: 0000000000000003 R09: ffff88006e73f080 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 00000000002191c0 R12: ffff88006fb83c10 R13: 00000000ffffffff R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88006fb50740(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 Unable to initialize Synaptics hardware.

In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu) { ... if (stat->time_in_state) stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] = cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index], cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time)); ... } Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.

2008-11-20x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migrationMatthew Wilcox
When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not being used. If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes the interrupt to become unusable. This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded and reloaded repeatedly.

2008-11-18AMD IOMMU: enable device isolation per defaultJoerg Roedel
Impact: makes device isolation the default for AMD IOMMU Some device drivers showed double-free bugs of DMA memory while testing them with AMD IOMMU. If all devices share the same protection domain this can lead to data corruption and data loss. Prevent this by putting each device into its own protection domain per default.

2008-11-18x86, PEBS/DS: fix code flow in ds_request()Ingo Molnar
this compiler warning: arch/x86/kernel/ds.c: In function 'ds_request': arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:368: warning: 'context' may be used uninitialized in this function Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated yet. First allocate the context, then do the other checks. Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-18x86: add rdtsc barrier to TSC sync checkVenki Pallipadi
Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has a regression on one of the test systems here. With the patch, I see: checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock. Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs: checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed. Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable. This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit. As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add explicit syncs as below?
