2009-06-02[ARM] ARMv7 errata: only apply fixes when running on applicable CPURussell King
Currently, whenever an erratum workaround is enabled, it will be applied whether or not the erratum is relevent for the CPU. This patch changes this - we check the variant and revision fields in the main ID register to determine which errata to apply. We also avoid re-applying erratum 460075 if it has already been applied. Applying this fix in non-secure mode results in the kernel failing to boot (or even do anything.) This fixes booting on some ARMv7 based platforms which otherwise silently fail.

2009-05-29x86: ignore VM_LOCKED when determining if hugetlb-backed page tables can be ↵Mel Gorman
shared or not Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302 On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this, page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including VM_LOCKED. The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what process is checking. What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix". This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed mapping.

2009-05-29flat: fix data sections alignmentOskar Schirmer
The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections. However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and data-section alignment of at least this size. This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's not defined by the architecture. It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

2009-05-28[ARM] Add cmpxchg support for ARMv6+ systems (v5)Mathieu Desnoyers
Add cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 support for ARMv6K and ARMv7 systems (original patch from Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>) The cmpxchg and cmpxchg64 functions can be implemented using the LDREX*/STREX* instructions. Since operand lengths other than 32bit are required, the full implementations are only available if the ARMv6K extensions are present (for the LDREXB, LDREXH and LDREXD instructions). For ARMv6, only 32-bits cmpxchg is available. Mathieu : Make cmpxchg_local always available with best implementation for all type sizes (1, 2, 4 bytes). Make cmpxchg64_local always available. Use "Ir" constraint for "old" operand, like atomic.h atomic_cmpxchg does. Change since v3 : - Add "memory" clobbers (thanks to Nicolas Pitre) - removed __asmeq(), only needed for old compilers, very unlikely on ARMv6+. Note : ARMv7-M should eventually be ifdefed-out of cmpxchg64. But it's not supported by the Linux kernel currently. Put back arm < v6 cmpxchg support.

2009-05-28[ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriersRussell King
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking: - cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM. - test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers. So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub operations which do not require barriers.

2009-05-27powerpc: Fix up dma_alloc_coherent() on platforms without cache coherency.Benjamin Herrenschmidt
The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-05-27Revert "powerpc: Rework dma-noncoherent to use generic vmalloc layer"Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8. While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-( Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to our custom virtual space allocator. There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time. However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

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.

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.

2009-05-25KVM: Fix PDPTR reloading on CR4 writesAvi Kivity
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.

2009-05-25x86: 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.

2009-05-22x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes supportH. Peter Anvin
Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at 24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes. The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually needing the flags. This reverts all or part of the following checkins: cd670599b7b00d9263f6f11a05c0edeb9cbedaf3 c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455 However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a comment to explain that part. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some additional information.
