2008-06-09[POWERPC] 8610: Update defconfig for MPC8610 HPCDTimur Tabi
Update the defconfig for the Freescale MPC8610 HPCD board. Enable module support. Disable support for all NICs except for the on-board ULI526x. Enable support for the Freescale DIU driver. Increase the maximum zone order to 12, so that the DIU driver can allocate physically-contiguous 5MB buffers. Enable SYSV IPC and OSS plugin support, which are needed for some OSS apps.

2008-06-09[POWERPC] 85xx: MPC8548CDS - Fix size of PCIe IO spaceKumar Gala
Andrew Klossner pointed out the IO space size was in violation of the alignment requirements for windows on the 85xx. The size should have been 1M (to match u-boot). Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-06-09[POWERPC] 85xx: MPC85xx MDS - Unconditionally select PHYLIB for board fixupsKumar Gala
The MPC85xx MDS board requires some board level tweaks of the PHYs that either the eTSEC (gianfar) or UCC ethernet controllers are connected to. Its possible to build the phylib as a module, however this breaks the board level fix ups because phy_read and phy_write are not available if we build as a module. So we unconditionally select PHYLIB to ensure its built into the kernel if we are building in MPC85xx MDS support. This was determined to be the easiest soultion even though it prevents the user from removing PHYLIB support if they decide they don't want it. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2008-06-06uml: deal with inaccessible address space startTom Spink
This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space, as well as the top. This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap addresses. It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a valid page is found. Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the address space. The size is the difference between the top address and bottom address.

2008-06-05PCI/x86: fix up PCI stuff so that PCI_GOANY supports OLPCAndres Salomon
Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as requested by Robert Millan). This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list. Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware. There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).

2008-06-04x86, fpu: fix CONFIG_PREEMPT=y corruption of application's FPU stackSuresh Siddha
Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT, and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU optimization". Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

2008-06-04x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem errorVenki Pallipadi
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code resilient to mtrr lookup problems. Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr lookup failure. pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings. (2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default. In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple users.

2008-06-04x86: enable preemption in delaySteven Rostedt
The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms! Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency. pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt ) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later! At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call. pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay) Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem. In git commit 35d5d08a085c56f153458c3f5d8ce24123617faf, Andrew Morton placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8). Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.
